Geforce 8800 GT doesn't do DirectX 10.1

Documents seen by Fudzilla indicates that G92/D8P aka the Geforce 8800 GT is not Shader model 4.1 compatible. It can mean one of two things, one, that Nvidia doesn't want release the information or two, simply that this chip doesn't have support for Shader model 4.1 and DirectX 10.1.

This comes as an interesting surprise as we know that the RV670 aka the Radeon HD 2950 series will support Shader model 4.1 and DirectX 10.1.

Nvidia can't keep up with demand

Nvidia could not keep up with the quantity of orders that they've had in the last two quarters. AMD has failed to offer a high end killer card and as such Nvidia had more orders that they expected.

This lead to a chip shortage and this upset a lot of Nvidia partners. Upset is a light understatement as the Nvidia only partners are furious as Jeff the Fish, the boss of the sales team and Fiona, the boss of the European sales department couldn't fill many of their orders.

This is actually a good thing for Nvidia's stock, as Nvidia claims that it has never sold more chips, but it's still not good in the long term. as the company has managed to upset most of its supporters.

Nvidia admits defeat in G92 vs. RV670 battle
Údajné výsledky v 3Dmark06:
G92 10800
RV670 11400
8800Ultra 12500

Skóre G92 (a teda aj RV670) sa mi nezdá, lebo CJ na Beyond3D spomínal skóre G92 okolo 9000.

BTW: Tento príspevok som tu už raz mal, ale niekto mi ho asi zmazal. Taktiež som to dal do vlákna o RV670 (pre istotu, niektorí užívatelia nemusia čítať vlákna o nVidii a naopak).

Prave proto, ze uz jsi ho dal do threadu o RV670 jsem ho smazal. Ja nemam cross-posting rad...

EDIT: A koukam, ze tam mas stejnou chybu jako v tom druhem threadu u skore Ultry...

GeForce 8800 GT Cooler Has 3 Heat-Pipes

CHW has a slide on the the GeForce 8800 GT which confirmed the specs we told you earlier. Also we heard that the single slot cooler on the 8800 GT card has 3 heat-pipes and Nvidia told its partners that it won't be hot.

No jestli RV670 opravdu da pres 11k, opravi par bugu co byly v R600 a nasadi cenu nekde kolem 8k za 512MB verzi, potom to bude asi trhak jako kdysi byvala 6800GT/6600GT nebo dnes X1950Pro.

256MB verze 8800GT ma stat 229USD podle poslednich dohadu, coz rozhodne neni spatne

No jinak:

RV670 is expected with a retail price between 229 and 279 dollars, but we would not be surprised if a low-clocked part would retail for 199 Dollars/Euro.

U RV670 se bude cena podle typu pohybovat od 279/229 az k 199USD. Coz vzhledem k vykonu(nekde pry i lepsim nez R600) bude celkem neuveritelne.
