MSI announced red 256M 8800GT |
We know that the AMD’s HD 3850 is powerful weapon: there’s no NV’s card can have a such performance and such a price tag. But the situation is begin to change: MSI now announced 256M 8800GT. The refrence version performance can be find here.
But different form refrence version, MSI’s red 8800GT is a factory OCed version: 660/1650/2000MHz(core/shader/mem). The final price will be 1599RMB(about $216 USD)
First Real G92-8800GTS picture leaked |
There’s lots of info about G92-8800GTS, and we would like review it again: it will out in 11 Dec, have 128 SP, using 8800GT’s PCB design, and have a upgraded dual slot cooler. The frequency will be 650/1625/1940MHz(core/shader/memory), higher than refrence 8800GT.
RV620 is 525MHz core, supports PowerPlay and HyperMemory |
The RV610 supports PowerPlay: from the GPU-Z screen cap it’s oberviously a low frequency and that’s because AMD’s tech: PowerPlay. PowerPlay can help people to save the earth while saving the wasted energy.
The spec in the GPU-Z is somehow a little wrong: the card’s runing on a PCIe 2.0 mobo.
a clear pic of R680 & some specs |
Here’s a clear pic of R680. Pls keep in mind that this is a engineer sample. There’s already some pic about this sexy card earlier.
Both cores’ frequency are 777MHz, the same as HD 3870’s. And R680 is using 1GB GDDR3 memory. Source indicate that the retail version’s frequency is still unidentified.
We guess the two big fin sets are still using HD 3870’s old one. So it is a copper-based-aluminum-fin design. So the two fin set and a bigger fan powerful enough to handle two RV670XT GPU?
