Specs of the 8800GT

[toofast]

hey mike, i c that u've already added the 8800GT to the list of the video cards.
Are you sure about the texture units amount and the amount of the raster operators in this card? thanks.

have some faith in him, he should be correct:)

[toofast]

:( turned out wrong, i had lots of hope on this card :D, anyway, its still a good card.

[Mike]

We're pretty sure they're correct. But it's all just rumors and speculation till we see the official information.

All thats "officially" confirmed is 256bit, 512/256mb memory and 112SP's.


As seen on gigabyte's box in a pic.

btw, HI :D

It doesn't make any sense at all , how they can perform so well with so low ROPs and TMUs , and of course the 256bit memory bus . I'm supprised honestly .

[Hatman]

Or maybe, how come the others perform so badly ith the rops.

Rops and TMU's and stuff are good, but not if it isnt being used, the shader power on an 8800gt is extremly close to that of a GTX, obviously it impacts performance a lot more then what rops/tmu's do, maybe thats what ATI was gunning for.

Its like 384bit, 512bit, yes its great to have, but if its not being used its wasted, obviously its safe to assume that 256bit is more then enough with such a high memory clock.

Guess its just wasted hardware on the gts/gtx, either way im not bothered, aslong as it performs well hehe.
