  • GeForce FX Canned already?



    According to the rumour, posted at x-3DFX, Nvidia is canning the GeForce FX and has told its foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (TSMC), to stop when 100,000 NV30 are produced.

    Probably the usual Inquirer BS.

        I found the following post on the forum the Inquirer linked to most amusing

        "Until I get a link to a respectable news source, this is about as truthful as a report from the Inquirer...."

              LOL.

              Does "wonders" mean "driven into the floor"?

                      I think the reason TSMC will stop is probably because nV has an updated core of GFFX that runs more efficient. (i.e. faster at lower clockspeed = less heat / die shrink to 0.09(?)). If they don't sell the GFFX in this month ppl will probably start to say nV30 is a vapourware hehe (oh yea and probably the big nV stock shareholders made the company to rush the chip out to the marketplace to compete with ATi).

                      It looks like ATI is the winner here. The NV30 looks a bit like the Parhelia story (i.e. medicore performace (I mean Clock-to-clock comparison) (i am not saying Parhelia is bad/madicore).

                      P.S. Who fabs the ATI chips anyways? Is it TSMC or UMC?

                      edit: Probably I am slow but I just noticed nV has release GF4 Ti4800 and Ti4800 SE (SE I guess it means special edition and probably w/slower memory + core speed) ahh... the market BS

                        If they're having trouble getting the heat off the chip now, a die shrink is NOT going to help that.

                          I haven't really looked into it, since I don't need / want another GF4 card, but if I remember correctly from news pages I've seen around the web:

                          Ti4800 = Ti4200 + 8x
                          Ti4800SE = Ti4600 + 8x
                          Ti4400 is no more..
                          "..so much for subtlety.."

                          System specs:
                          Gainward Ti4600
                          AMD Athlon XP2100+ (o.c. to 1845MHz)

                            Here in europe the Ti4800 is named Ti4200-8x and the SE version is just a plain Ti4800. A bit less confusing but still strange!

                              The FX is late, the ATi is faster bang ofr buck.
                              Nvidia want to concentrate on beating the R350, with the NV35.
                              And a lot better drivers...optimised better.
