Hopefully the last generation from the energy hungry dead-end street. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34446
Yeah, this seems to be quite insane. Maybe that's only for the flagship, later they will make a saner configuration (much like nvidia did with geforce 7 line, i.e. a 7600gs is pretty sweet - ok performance, passive cooling, minimal amount of power).
Yep, a new X1300 like card out of serie could be interesting. Oh man just imagine how much power you will need for a SLI solution...;O) *loco* I'm curious to see what nVIDIA will be up this time and if they already will turn around with their next generation.
Rumour specs for G80... http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34495 700 millions transistors?! Sounds a little bit too much to me. Hey, but maybe the've integrated one of Bitboys memory concepts... ;O)
