Nvidia GeForceFX(NV30) Officially Launched

Posted by timothy on from the small-with-lots-of-dots dept.

egarland writes "Tom's Hardware has a new article previewing the new GeForceFX chip and discussing its architecture. 0.13 Micron, 16 GB/s memory bandwidth, 128-bit DDR2 memory interface, 125 M transistors, support for 8x FSAA. Sounds like an interesting chip. They stuck with a 128 bit memory bus so ATI's R300 still has more memory bandwidth (19.8 GB/s) but NVidia has new lossless memory compression so we will have to wait for benchmarks to see if NVidia comes up a winner here. The reference card also sports a massive new cooling system which is worth a look." Readers Oliver Wendell and JavaTenor add links to additional stories at The Register and at AnandTech.

    An nVidia supplied benchmark for their vapourware product which they hope will arrive before ATI clean their clock in the marketplace, where they currently have the fastest card.

    Mmm. That's reliable.
