NVIDIA wants to keep details about G92 and G98 under-wraps, but as the
product is getting ready some details are slowly, but certainly slipping out of
Graphzilla's cave.
TheInquirer
learned that GPU clock has surpassed 800 MHz and that company plans to
deliver the boards depending on yields they will get. So far, launch clock could
be anywhere between 800 and 850 MHz, with 812/3, 824/5 and 830/5 being usual
suspects. There is quite a lot NVIDIA has to support with the G92 series of
chips, and what yours truly wonders the most is will the G92 support just Open
GL 3 (Long Peak), or will the chip support Mount Evans as well (upgrade of
Long's Peak). Of course, DirectX 10.1 is also a moot point at this time.
Overall, one thing is certain - G92 will deliver significant performance boost
at 8800 price standpoint. NVIDIA is about to gather a lot of editors to tell
them how good the new chips in October and the reviews and the real retail
launch is expected in November.
