PC Ekspert Forum - Matematika po Nvidii-200 x 4 = 5200

NVIDIA released its latest sales material showing its GTX 512 card is beating the X1900XTX.

That is what Nvidia wants its customers to believe, but we can tell you that XTX tops Nvidia's performance in most of the tests, especially heavy and intensive ones. X1900 XTX gets hot and needs a lot of power but it is the fastest card around - there's no question of that.

Did we say it is available? Nvidia's 7800 GTX 512 is available now but it was not when it was launched. It was available for two days and then Nvidia ended up with back orders.

Some ATI fanbois on hw-vault forums decided to play a little joke about Nvidia's mathematics. When Nvidia announced Geforce 7800 GTX 256 MB version it said that the card can do 200 Giga flops. The new 7800 GTX 512 should be able to do 250 or maximally 300 Giga flops but now Nvidia claims that four of these cards in Quad SLI can do 5.2 Teraflops.

This is not the first time that Nvidia did such a thing as, an important chap from Nvidia claimed that NV30 has eight pipelines while our colleagues at Extremetech managed to prove that it actually has four, and I was present at Geneva, Switzerland when Nvidia demonstrated NV40. We saw two pictures side by side which was supposed to be Shader mode 2.0 picture versus Shader 3.0.

I have to say that I was amazed by the difference but afterwards Nvidia apologised for showing Shader Model 1.4, DX 8 picture versus its superior Shader model 3.0 picture. µ
