512MB GTX's releases Nov14th & Stocked!!
- Thread starter maverik-sg1
- Start date
Sorry bit off topic.
Is there gonna be a big performance gap between the ATI 1800XT & 512mb 78TGX?
Surly the gtx is just like an overclocked standard gtx so if you where to o'clock the 1800xt they would be the better performer.
Plus as the gtx is running such extream clocks and the fact that its a 512 card which means more chance of a bad ram module, these wont o'clock much more than how they come out the box.
I am about to upgrade my 68gt to one of these puppies, basically what is the best? A show of hands please.

K404 said:Part of me thinks this wont happen. Some posts at XS suggest that they will be VERY hard to get for at least a month. THe fact that no-one had it on preorder kinda ties in with this.
Maybe NVidia werent having a laugh.....
The issue wont be GPU yield issue - the current GPU is good for 660mhz with volt mods - the 512MB is generated from a revised PCB that provides volt mods already.
I can't find any either so I feel your pain
In saying that - the pre-order issue was never apparent with the last releases, 6800GS and GTX were all available - -perhaps the global release will be based on US timings? In which case expect the launch to occur on or around noon today.

There is a gap in performance in the GTX 512MB favour - is it massive? No. Is is enough? Yes.
Early reports say all current games tested the 256MB GTX, 512MB X1800XT and the 512MB GTX - the 512MB GTX came out on top easily.
The qaulity of the ram used bu Nvidia and ATI is such that there is suffcicient overclocking headroom for both cards (with the right cooling).

I've spoken to my suppliers are there are only a few (and I mean a few) in the UK at the moment. Only the larger stores will have them.

I think thats the plan - good marketeering by the green machine

Best price on release day is £485 ea
So Mav and Scorchio have decided to wait for general stock to be released to make the price a much more acceptable amount (I was prepared for about £430ea but hoped a £400 release price).
As it stands the best comes at a very hefty price and GPU's have gotten more expensive over the past two years than I ever thought was possible.

Wow - considering how the review sites are awash with these cards I'm surprised they didn't decide to stick to more reasonable prices
Nah - why should they lol.
Tell you what though - congrats to nvidia! They are worthy winners this round after 5900debacles.
Only thing if you need avivo stuff the ATIs aren't so bad.
Hmmm, now to see if i can afford to waste sli on 1280x1024
Tell you what though - it is really funny to see the review sites (just noticed techreport) who bench with bf2 and forget there is a 90FPS limiter that they can turn off from the game console - DUH!
