7800 Ultra Coming.

That's what they are gonna make of the Ultra version? Oh come on, that sucks anus.

BFG's 7800GTX's already are at 460/1300. What's another 40Mhz on the core and 75Mhz on the memory.

I really hope that's false, oh wait, it most likely is...... :rolleyes:
 
lol, thanks for the inspiring comment, sounds like someone needs to go to bed
 
Why? He was simply stating an opinion, however biased you may interpret it to be.

I agree with his comment. If that is true, the Ultra will score a couple FPS in games over the GTX.

Aren't many people anticipating a 32 pipe Ultra? Or am I making stuff up again? ;)
 
... you got to be shitting me... if they charge 100 dollers more for this.. i will never buy a nvidia product again...

i for one was anticipating a 32 pipe Ultra.. :(

The clocks the AIB guys choose are irrelevant to NV. Besides, the X800XT-PE was only 5% quicker than the next model down (X800XT) and the almighty X850XT-PE was only 3% quicker than it's predecessor (X800XT-PE). So, a 500MHz Ultra part is 16% faster than stock and still 9% faster than the BFG GTX OC. A 500MHz Ultra is positively generous compared to some of ATi's latest offerings. As for the memory speed, unless NV can get their hands on some 1.429ns Samsung GDDR3 then it's going to be tough to get much more speed out of the 1.667ns stuff. Those supposed 7800U clocks may be BS but they're almost exactly what I'd expect from an Ultra part.
 
sweet, just need to extract another 75mhz on the mem and I have myself a 7800Ultra...

too easy.

plus it is already insanely fast. BF2 @ 1650x1050 with ALL the eyecandy and transperancy AA, wow, smooth as butter, all from a single slot card.

Lovin this.
 
Ultra in November , so says my chrystall ball and then in April a device that belies imagination
 
My BFG 7800GTX will already do 500+. Fastest bench was 526MHz (with the AC on high ;)). So, I don't see any reason for spending an extra $100 over an already expensive card, unless it actually gets you somewhere close to 600MHz overclocked.
 
I figured the Ultra would at least match the PS3 RSX in clock speed :mad:

I agree 100% with you on that one, I think the Ultra will bring something new to the table and it was said in both THG, and [H]ardOCP the the GTX was "almost" able to render graphics like the graphics in... "FinalFanstacy The Sperits With In" Movie in real time. Further more, they said the the next batch/generation of graphcis cards just may be the one's to do it. And being able to run game's at resolution higher than 1600x1200 at 64bit color with full eyecandy, and still get 90 and up FPS. So my point is if there is any truth to what THG and [H]ardOCP said maybe the Ultra will beable to get us even closer or be the one to start it off. 24 pipelines... :rolleyes: of corce thats only if any of this is true about an Ultra vertion comeing out.
 
I dont see it selling for anyless than $800

Slamgoku - Although I'd love to buy one anyway lol.
 
Seeing that SUPPOSELY it ha a 2000 point increase (7000-GTX and 9000-Ultra) I think it will be a 32 piper.
 
I don't think its coming any time soon.

They're going to wait and see what ATI does.

My guess is ATI paper launches r520, which gives Nvidia a few more months to refine they G70 on .90 nm and launch it at RSX speeds 550Mhz.... (with lots of OC'ing headroom, b/c the PS3 is going to be a small set top box!)
 
Just an assumption here... but I think the Ultra is gonna probably have 512mb ram. Why wouldn't they sell a 512mb card when the previous generation has one.
 
hmmm.....6800gt= 350/1000, 6800ultra= 400/1100. History repeats itself with the 7800 series.

Look how many people have 6800gt's runnning equal to or higher than 6800ultra speeds. I bet the same will be true with the 7800 series...unless it has 32 pipes :D
 
Does anyone else think Video Cards are hitting a technological wall? I mean, for the mean time, I think they have tapped out what current designs can do.

The way they are built now, yes. As a whole though, no. Graphics card will get a major redesign with the introduction of Longhorn and WGF2.0.

Nope, not really, they just released the 7800gtx for crying outloud and it has more features and almost twice is much performance as the 6800gt.
 
As long as they keep making smaller and smaller parts it will keep getting better. In a few years we will be looking back at the 7800 and seeing shit. I think once hardware reaches the ability to render stuff that looks and acts real it might pan out.
 
In a few years there will be no such thing has a seperate unit that does both Vertex and Pixel work. Instead there will be one pipeline that does both, like the Xenos in the Xbox 360. This is what WGF2.0 and SM4.0 will be about.

yea wait for geforce 8 series then
 
I see them hitting a wall at 65 nm much like the one everybody had getting to 90 from 130nm. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the entire industry is going to go massively parallel with both CPU's and GPU's.

Theres not much reason they cant dual core a GPU the same way they did a X2 4400. 2 years from now we'll have Quad Cores on the CPU. Hell, Apple may possibly have that now if the PPC970MP turns out to be a dual core and they stuff two seperate CPUs in their next Power Mac rev. and tie it together with HT.

There's a reason Apple is moving towards Intel's processors you know.

Also, GPU's are already massivly parallel. And if Cell is any indecation, I dont think you'd want a CPU to be completely parallel like a GPU.

is this w/ the card's stock cooler?

if so, then that will give me some high hopes w/ me reaching 500+ on the core once my BFG 7800 GTX comes.
 
if it is 24 pipes and the ati card will be 32 pipes...then there will be no competition what so ever...

As I posted earlier, NVIDIA seems to have a GeForce 7800 Ultra series card up it's sleeve just waiting for ATI to show 'em their cards. As you can find at hardspell.com, the GeForce 7800 GTX scores ~7800 single card, and 1300 SLI for 3DMark05. The 7800 GTX is clocked at 430/1200, and the Ultra then makes the leap to 500/1375. With these monstrous clocks, the 24 pipeline beast turns out a whopping ~9000 3DMarks for single card, nearly the same score dual 6800 GT's would get. All in all, the 7800 series is looking a lot more impressive than it did before and the graphics wars as a whole are just getting started.
Click to expand...

Gee, I think my 9800 Pro can give that SLI score a run for its money :p.

I have trouble trusting someone who can't type properly...
 
Trust me your 9800 pro can not even come close to giveing a 7800 a so called run for the money. Call me crazy but I don't think ne1 in their right mind wouldnt bet even a penny on your 9800 lol
 
oh great, first the 7800GT gets announced and now this. Jeez, my 2month old 6800GT's keep looking older and older as they unlovingly get pushed (shoved) aside on the nVidia ladder.

Thinking about throwing in the towel in the uber computer upgrades and just get a console - at least until I win the lottery or something :rolleyes:
 
PCstats.com seems to thing the Ultra will come this fall with 32 pipes and higher clocks on core and mem. They hint at it in their review of the 7800.
 
This is bullshit. I just payed 1200 bucks for 2 7800 GTX's which were supposed to be the top of the line of the 7800 series. There was going to be the GTX, then GT, then just 7800 or something. where did this ultra come into play?

Its still all rumors, but you can be there will be a "refresh" when the R520 comes out.
 
Well, atleast when the new cards come out I can always just sell my 2 GTX and spend a little more and upgrade.

I don't get it, you have 2 GTX's and you want to upgrade to Ultra's that will probably only give you an extra 5% or so performance? Is it really about the games or just having the satisfaction of having the best? Seems a bit odd to me - especially since when it comes to computers, the "best" is a rapidly moving target. To each his own I guess :rolleyes:
 
I dont know if its true, but most of us suspected such a thing. As has been said, the GTX can overclock a pretty good tick.

I cant imagine them putting a $699 MSRP on it though, unless is has 512ram. $699 is out of reach for the vast majority of gamers, even their $499 GT version is. Last gen $499 was tops, now $599, and maybe even higher? Ugh.
