NV10 by Sept!!!

[kettlerp]

Dammit! I want MORE AGP SLOTS!

I wanna be able to put a G400 AND a TNT2 (or NV10) in the same machine!

Yeah, I realize that multiple AGP slots is probably impossible (or performance degrading), but how about a PCI66 spec and PCI66 cards instead for us Intel people?

Just my $0.02.

Steve C, I'd rather put my configs on the table up front. :-)

kettlerp:
There are PCI66 cards. Most of them are for data transfer in servers, and not video, though. However, there are video cards that run that fast.
The research lab I work in is highly concerned with medical imaging, and we have some special rigs in here. The monitors are special diagnostic quality ones (2500x2048 is hard on the eyes, even if it is razor sharp). The video cards run at 66Mhz, and maybe even 100Mhz (The computer I'm thinking of is a dual PII-350). The cards are PCI, though. That, and $25,000 each. The RAMDAC's are amazing, though.
So, if you've got the money to spend, the equipment you need is out there.

crus sent word that the NV10 is due out in September!
Now it's confirmed. The NV10 chipset from Nvidia will be released in a month and we will also see a graphic card in early September using the NV10 Chipset. I have been talking with a press spokesman at Guillemot and he confirmed that Guillemot will show the graphic card at ECTS and that's probably the first time that we will see some image quality and speed specs of the chipset.

Frankly, I don't care if NVIDIA come out with a card that serves me breakfast in the morning, I don't want to have anything more to do with them. Just think, if NVIDIA can do it, so can somebody else. I'd rather buy anybody else's card, I don't like smoke and mirrors and outright lies.

Look at it this way, it took them a year to get the TNT drivers working worth a damn and that's still debateable, while all the NV10 folks are cursing about their drivers, you can be using something that actually works with another card. It will be the NV20 that's the killer card, trust me, they will fix some of the bugs in the NV10 and they will use the same drivers as the NV10.
