Whats this, top of the line NVidia card comes in at under 200w...
If you hadn't have said that, I wouldn't have thought it would be as simple as that, 52MHz (roughly 0.5% increase) isn't going to make an awful lot of difference.but the base clock is higher than anticipated at a tasty 1,006MHz. We aren't allowed to talk about it, but the Boost Clock of 1,058MHz suggests that the card will ramp up the core operating frequency as and when needed - think of it as Intel's Turbo Boost, but on a GPU.
But I guess we'll have to wait and see, because you're not allowed to say.
But you're confirming a rumour for us - thanks!Originally Posted by hexus

The review of the GT640M confirms the hotclocks are still present.

Seems very pointless if the "turbo" style is really only 50mhz... but we shall see .
May i request that when you inevitably do this review, can you try and get alternative graphs, have some linegraphs with the barcharts just so we can see how stable FPS really is (think doing this for just the top cards is best as really it will be the 7950/70 that you will be comparing to, three cards).
Thats if its not to much hassle!. I look forward to reading this review when its out .
Be interested to see when Hexus do the benchmarking - especially if this is the 660 - as I'm thinking of treating myself to an upgrade for my current 460SOC later in the year. By which time, hopefully, they'll be widely available and at prices less than the usual ramped up ones for launch day.
Also wonder if XFX etc are going to do a special highly-overclocked version called a "666" or "616" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast)...
A memory speed of 6.0Gbps doesn't really seem that good. My GTX580 gets about 200Gbps iirc.
I really don't think I believe these slides, the increase in core count, core speed, decrease in TDP, it's all too much difference for just one generation of cards.
I think you're getting a bit confused. The memory speed of the GTX 580 is slower than the GTX 6xx (4002MHz vs 6000MHz). However, the GTX 6xx has a leaner bus at 256bit compared to 384bit, but faster RAM meaning that it has the same (just less according to the chart) bandwidth (~192GB/s for both cards) as the GTX 580.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
The slide seems to state memory speed in GBPS not MHZ it seems. GBPS is memory bandwidth not speed.
Turbo on a graphics card? Give me a break.
Surely the whole point of turbo is to increase the speed on low threaded and short duration apps? This smells like a benchmarking trick to me.

Indeed.
One one hand it does look a little like they intended to release this as a performance (rather than enthusiast) chip, but on getting good results back from the fabs could up the target - supporting evidence is the moniker and the 256bit interface, as well as a moderate TDP.
But on the other that would be a change in tactics - usually nVidia release the high end card first I think - of course, rumour has it gk100 was cancelled completely, so perhaps there is no equivalent high end, and this would explain the delay compared to AMD (gk100 should have launched earlier). The new generation high end (gk110) will presumably be even better, and might even be moved forward given the cancellation of gk100. Question is, does it bear any relation to the performance segment chips, or like AMD, are the enthusiast chips so saddled with compute features that they only offer relatively minor gaming improvements for the increased complexity/cost?
The slide states "Memory speed: 6.0 GBPS", which, when translated into GB/s is 48GB/s, which is still only a quarter of my GTX 580, or is there more calculations to be done?
I'm sorry, but NVIDIA would always state the highest number they can, they wouldn't put 6.0GBPS, they'd put 192GB/s, if that were the case.. So I really don't think I can believe the slide.
