• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Perhaps this is a dumb question....

I was looking a bit at the Go 6800 Ultra when it struck me.
Here we have a accordingly to [H]ardOCP's Go 6800 Ultra review:
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra:

The core features of the GeForce Go 6800 include an architecture that is familiar to its desktop GeForce 6800 series counterpart. The GeForce Go 6800 has 12 pixel-pipelines and 5 vertex units,...

and
The GeForce Go 6800 Ultra runs at a much higher 450MHz frequency, which gives it 5.4 gigapixels per second of fillrate. The memory specification allows a clock speed up to 1.1GHz with GDDR3.

Compared this to the 6800Ultra:
GeForce 6800/Ultra Roundup

GeForce 6800Ultra = 256MB GDDR3, 16 pipelines, 6 vertex units, 400MHz/1.1GHz

So we got a 12 pipe card, giving similar and/or better preformance to a 16 pipe card.
So would a G70 if based on the same pipes as in the Go 6800 Ultra, but with 24 pipes, not be about 2 x as fast at the 6800 Ultra?

Terra - I should I just back to sleep again? (hungover ;) *L*)
 
ati's chip is rumored to be 32 pipes so i expect nvidia to be 32 pipes.

performance should be about double last generation if i had to guess.
