NienorGT Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm happy to see that this monster is not the 300W power hungry demon that was rumored. nVIDIA still ask for a 400W PSU :blink: I can't wait until Q2 2007 (When I will get the money *sight*) to buy this beast :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501030-nvidia-g80-retail-details-unveiled/page/2/#findComment-587931428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted October 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm happy to see that this monster is not the 300W power hungry demon that was rumored. nVIDIA still ask for a 400W PSU :blink: Well, you have to keep in kind that if the card sucks in 300W, then you will need at least an extra 100W to power the rest of your components. Keep in mind that your GPU is not the only thing sucking up the juice :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501030-nvidia-g80-retail-details-unveiled/page/2/#findComment-587932658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why the unusual amounts of Memory? 768mb. 640mb? Because of the Bus width.... you have 384 bits and 320 bits respectively... and the memory chips available have a 32 bit interface each so you need 12 and 10 chips respectively, that means 12x64 = 768 and 10x64 = 640 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501030-nvidia-g80-retail-details-unveiled/page/2/#findComment-587932677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted October 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2006 Looks roughly the same size as the current G71 cards, though it seems it will take two slots :| That is one big heatsink.

Slimy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 You're half right: 7800GT - 20 pipes 7800GTX - 24 pipes 7900GT - 24 pipes 7900GTX - 24 pipes Anyway, those are some crazy specs. It's a shame it's not using GDDR4 though. I was reading on wikipedia a bit but I got confused, what's the difference between pixel pipelines and vertex pipelines... and also what's the difference between pipes and pipelines? 6800Ultra - 16 pixel pipelines 7300LE - 4 pixel pipelines 7300GT - 8 pixel pipelines 7600GS - 12 pixel pipelines 7600GT - 12 pixel pipelines 7800GS - 16 pixel pipelines 7800GT - 20 pixel pipelines 7800GT - 20 pixel pipelines 7800GTX - 24 pixel pipelines 7900GS - 20 pixel pipelines 7900GT - 24 pixel pipelines 7900GTX - 24 pixel pipelines 7900GX2 - ? 7950GX2 - ?
