New Geforce Mobile GPU's - Page 4  

Its pretty minimal information, agreed, but no reason to be suspicious of it. I doubt NVIDIA would get their infs wrong

The earlier poster made a valid point, that the model numbers are being gamed. Once more, people will need to pay more attention to the letters at the end of the model number than the digits at the beginning. And you can be sure that advertising will gloss over that level of detail and just say "8800".

I'm trying to figure out where you are going with this. I'm not saying it will not be a G84 based card... If you read my posts they all are in reference to the performance of the current cards that are being released & the relation in performance to previous generation cards. they are not relating to what core the 8800M will be released with.

Well, its a discussion, not a debate. I'm more interested in facts than in proving a given person right or wrong, so I will disagree with some points you make and agree with others. Sorry if thats confusing We are probably all aiming at different places depending on our interests. I'm more interested in the mobile workstation area. Its fairly clear that an 8800M GS with 128-bit interface is not going to be 'smoking' any 7900M, 7950M, 2500M or 3500M. Its also fairly clear that advertisers will mislead the public on that chip. Its also clear to me that the 'enthusiast' or 'high performance' or whatever 8xxxM cards are not announced and there are no specs on them. We only have a lower bound, assuming they won't be worse than lower model cards from the same series. In that regard, its interesting that the Quadro FX1600M (1500M replacement) has gone up to 512M ram - but has dropped down to a 128-bit bus, compared to 256-bit in the 1500M. Since the 2500M has 512MB and a 256-bit bus one can assume that it will have at least a 256-bit bus and at least 512MB ram, presumably more to differentiate it like 768MB or even 1GB. A few interesting details here: http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx_go.html

the reason I asked is that you seem to enjoy quoting me lol & then proceed to argue I'm wrong about a point I never argued in the first place.

Nvidia marketing?

512 MB RAM 8600M GT 128 bit bus ..Ignore the little things!~

Hmm this leads me think that the 8800 might only be 256bit, that's bad. Why the hell did they go 128bit for the 8600? Heat problems? Ah well I hope there will be a fast 8800 mobile card, since I plan on getting a new laptop and don't want to buy a M1710 since it doesn't support DX10.

Not really. You did pull up gerryjoson, quite unfairly I thought, who was commenting on an earlier post of mine, and dinged gerry for a point he was not actually making also (and than brought up not reading the thread, lol). But I think you misunderstood his point and we are all pretty much on the same page now.


Yeah, thats a surprising development. Twice the memory, less bandwidth. Although not half - they quote up to 25.6 GB/sec for the 128-bit 1600M, up to 38.4 GB/sec for the 256-bit 1500M. And they say that 1500M can ship with 512MB, although I am not aware of a board configured like that on sale anywhere.

Come on man, Chris seems like peace loving guy according to his pic thingy on left(assuming it's himself).

You are a real tard SolApathy,everybody else is just trying to discuss possible GPU's and all you are doing is going on about you being quoted all the time,which I can not see anywhere.
Like I said GET OVER YOURSELF...no one cares what you think about this subject,everybody knows that you are having a little cry about your hardware becoming obsolete,and where you stand on the subject,and the fact you are too dense to see that a few of us actually agree with what you and a few others have been saying about nvidia not bringing a REAL 8800 until a die shrink is a confirmation of the self absorbed quagmire you live in......
LooK at me! LooK at me! stop quoting or misquoting me.

Attention everybody...stop posting...because you are quoting what SolApathy has been saying,it doesn't matter what you say,SolApathy has said it before,he's the man,he's got an XPS that scores 25000 on 3dmark06,so don't bother discussing it,because you will be quoting his comments,or at least his thoughts in his tiny little brain.

If these threads about future GPU's annoy you so much,as they obviously do,why do you keep bloviating on them....thats right,your a post whore,with knowledge on everything known to man.

You could always turn into a little dog and bite us I suppose.... Ohhh,did I just quote SolApathy,I'd better watch myself.

Alright, this thread has gone beyond discussing video cards.

Thread's closed!
