However, despite these evident drawbacks, NVIDIA is still quite heated. Being encouraged by the indisputable progress made by its direct competitor, ATI Company, NVIDIA probably tried to aim a great blow at the rival with the help of NV30, but they missed. As I have already mentioned, the product appeared not very successful, to put it mildly, and not free from a number of not very nice drawbacks. It looks as if the roots of the problems lie with the memory controller: having used a pretty new and not very widely spread DDR-II memory, the company overestimated its powers and failed to use the bandwidth of the new memory bus efficiently. They also didn’t cope with the heat dissipation problem, because the current memory chips cooling proved insufficient. As I managed to find out, the solution to this problem hasn’t yet been found, that is why NVIDIA seems to be about to put the failed sensation into oblivion as soon as possible and to offer a new product.

Yes! According to one pretty reliable source, the company is going to introduce a new NV35 solution, and not some time later, but this spring!

It is a different question if they will really do it or not, or if they overestimated their abilities for the second time. However, the intentions are there, no doubt. Especially taking into account that the working sample of this product already exists and so far it made a very favourable impression.

This time the company decided not to use the brand new DDR-II and to return to DDR-I memory. NV35 will have a 256bit memory bus, and the working frequencies of the chip and memory will be lower than those of the current NV30. However, nevertheless, the performance promises to be considerably higher.

For example, in Quake3 Arena game (timedemo1, 1280x1024) the performance difference between NV35 and NV30 made over 70%! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hm.. If we add here an enhanced anisotropic filtering unit and improved anti-aliasing quality, we will get a real tidbit. The only thing which will remain the same is the size of the card with the cooling system installed: the graphics cards based on this chip will still occupy the room of two PCI slots.

Of course, if we try to be realistic in our estimates, I believe this product will hardly be ready by the fall, and the cards based on it may come to the market closer to Q4 at the earliest. So, I wouldn’t be too excited about it. And can you imagine what happens to the sales of the super-expensive products based on the today’s NV30 if the company really decides to launch the new chip in spring? Of course, the sales will freeze! But these are just my suppositions. So, let’s wait until the new evidence appears, before we make final conclusions.

agree to schmax.
nvidia liegt in den letzten zügen, und ich vergönne es ihnen nur allzu sehr :>

die königin ist tot, es lebe die königin!

Zitat von COLOSSUS

die königin ist tot, es lebe die königin!

fast korrekt

denke auch nicht dass sie den nv30 selber vom markt drängen werden, aber lassen wir uns überraschen

alles ganz nett ... aber die konkurenz schläft auch nicht

nv30-hyping war gestern...
welcome to the nv35-hype

und wer fahrt wieder voll drauf ab?

auch der R350 ist nur ein müder aufguss des R300. größtenteils durch einen treiber. und das mit nur 20% leistungssteigerung, weil scheinbar nicht viel mehr möglich ist. von einem echten nachfolger der aktuellen radeon-reihe ist weit und breit nichts zu hören, während es zum nv40 von nvidia schon daten aus vertrauenswürdigen quellen gibt und auch behauptet wird, dass er zu weihnachten erscheint (dauert aber mindestens bis 2004 würd ich sagen...)

und noch zu einigen luschen-aussagen, oh wie schön es doch ist dass nvidia bald krepiert: was glaubt ihr, was passieren wird wenn es nur noch ATI (die jetzt schon fast-monopolisten sind) gibt? günstige karten mit viel leistung? eher nicht würd ich sagen... sonst wären sie ja blöd....

1. i glaub ent das nvidia stirbt (an alle halblustigen die meinen juhuu nvidia ist tot)
2. gibts schon genaueres erscheinungsdatum in AT ?
3. wenn der nv35 echt so geil wird dann ... muha

lol.. da gibts imma no nForceII ich mein allein von dem werdens a net leben können... aber bevor die 4 jahre lang an schas bauen knöpfens ATI die besten techniker um a heidengeld ab tät i sagn
