    nVidia has confirmed nv30-125m transistors

    Be afraid.....be very afraid.

    System Specs:
    Gigabyte 8INXP - Pentium 4 2.8@3.4 - 1GB Corsair 3200 XMS - Enermax 550W PSU - 2 80GB WDs 8MB cache in RAID 0 array - 36GB Seagate 15.3K SCSI boot drive - ATI AIW 9700 - M-Audio Revolution - 16x Pioneer DVD slot load - Lite-On 48x24x48x CD-RW - Logitech MX700 - Koolance PC2-601BW case - Cambridge MegaWorks 550s - Mitsubishi 2070SB 22" CRT

    Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!
    May all 0ur base someday be belong to you!
    Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.
    And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz,
    just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.
    For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s 4ever and ever, 4m3n.

    Maybe I should give the more direct link.

      I just shit my pants out of fear! (oops I crapped my pants)
      Titanium is the new bling!

        ...I more like don't give a shit...
        How can you possibly take anything seriously?
        Who cares?

          hehe...afraid of what?, NV's pumping out a lot of vapour because they fuxored there die shrink.
          It will take until next year to get it right.

          By then I think ATI will be set to shrink there 9700, and maybe release a new part , because the smaller process will be more mature.

          With a bit of luck we may even be hearing about son of parhelia(or is that sun).

          and between now and then I expect at least another half dozen vapour launches (includeing gf4 AGP 8x), NV30 will be good when it comes out but I think it will the fastest for a VERY short time.(perhaps aquireing voodoo gave NV indegestion)

            And I find it a bit supiciuos that there were no real new drivers for the 9700 from ATI since a while.

            I could imagine that they have a special driver set prepared for the NV30 launch...

              Number of transistors doesn't mean dilly-squat about realized performance.

              Just look at how many transistors the Parhellia has.

                Besides,
                the only thing nvidia think of is FPS
                If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

                      I wonder what ATI will have out by the time NV30 actually ships.

                          I'm not so sure DDR II memory is that great of a thing. I mean they are basically increasing latency to increase the maximum bandwidth if I understand it correctly. I guess the trade off is worth it though?

                            The design changes should allow for for higher clocks. If your latency goes up 20% (measured in number of clock cycles), but you can increase your clock speed by 40%, you're coming out ahead. DDR is having trouble pushing the clocks higher, so we'll see if this helps or not.

                              Add to that fact that latency is less important in vidcards....
