nVidia NV30 vs. Matrox Parhelia

[gs2k1]

There are rumours about the new nVidia card... Will "our" Parhelia beat this nVidia crap?

nv30 rumours:

- Omen Card
- AGP 4x and 8x
- Copper Core Gpu Processor 0.13 m default clock 450 MHz
- 73 million transistors
- 8 pipes
- Quad Vertex Shaders
- Dual Pixel Shaders
- 85 bone capable
- Lightspeed Memory Architecture III
- Quad Cache memory caching subsystem
- Dual Z-buffers for greater compression without losses
- Visibility subsystem
- NvAuto advanced pre-charge
- Direct X 9.X compatible
- Latest Open Gl
- Backward glide game capable thanks to NvBlur (Yes a new version of Glide!)

I find it funny when clueless people speculate about upcoming chipsets, be it nv30, r300 or Parhelia...

They always have something which reveals that the specs are fictitious. This time it's the glide support.

I thought NvBlur was already a feature on most of thier cards.

Correct and it works very well I might add

Must have been a lot of work to implement it in 2D as well

G1000-MAXXX thread on Matrox Site

Haig (responding to NV30 specs)

I personally get impressed when I see new technology that can sustain performance or have a minimal performance hit when enabled which I don't see in that spec. All I see are items that are supposed to be improved from their previous chip.
BTW, what's a re-programmable DVD and TV decoder chip?

Haig, when are we going to see any spectaculair pics (with framecount) of things beyond the capabilities of current graphics cards on the market?


ps. I really think Haig should give Chuck a little bit of credit on the nvBlur joke hehehe
