nVidia G70 Spy Shots
June. 05, 2005 @ 11:29PM GMT +10 |
TweakTown managed to get a couple exclusive shots of the upcoming G70 based card from NVIDIA:
This particular G70 is probably the same one a couple other sites managed to take photos of, however we went a step further and removed the heatsink to get a shot of the core. We also scored a shot of the memory chips used – they seem to be Samsung 1.6ns GDDR3 chips running at 600MHz.

ATI Radeon X550 info
June. 05, 2005 @ 10:38PM GMT +10 |
ATI Add-in-Board-Manufacturers can now build the Radeon X550 Series, which is targeted at the budget PCI-Express customer. The first official driver to support the X550 will be released on June 8th.
The Radeon X550 GPU is the RV370 and uses the same PCBs as previous RV370 boards (X300). However, AIBs are also allowed to perform their own modifications, for example reduce the PCB layer count.
If you are not familiar with RV370, the chip uses four rendering pipelines and two vertex shaders. Clock speeds of the X550 are 400 MHz Core and 250 MHz Memory. Which means that most designs will use TSOP DDR1. Available bus bandwidths are 64 and 128 bit, like all existing RV370 designs. Memory size can be varied from 64 MB to 256 MB.
Estimated launch dates are mid June, early July. The boards will cost around USD60.
