| | (Post a comment) » NVIDIA announcing mainstream GeForce 6In last week's conference call, NVIDIA CEO Jen Hsun Huang confirmed reports that NVIDIA would be launching a new shader model 3.0 mainstream card shortly: "In a few days we're going to turn up the heat another notch. At Quakecon in Texas, a mecca for gamers and truly a phenomenon to witness, we will officially unveil our newest mainstream member of the GeForce 6 family". Jen Hsun went on to say:
This mainstream GeForce 6 will be the only shader model 3.0 GPU in its class and deliver performance well beyond that of the competition. PCI Express support is native and AGP support will be provided through HSI, once again showing the versatility of the HSI strategy...sampling started in June, production is in full steam on TSMC's 110 nanometer process, with shipments to OEMs soon.
Price points and product names weren't discussed, but Jen Hsun also confirmed SLI support for this upcoming card, and also mentioned by the end of the year NVIDIA will have a top-to-bottom family of shader model 3.0 cards. In fact, he mentions "we're ramping 110 on two GeForce 6 families right now at TSMC, and very shortly we'll start a third...and this quarter we'll have five GeForce 6 GPUs in production, and that ought to cover us from top to bottom."

The nForce 4 will support PCI Express but that is for Athlon 64
chips. It has yet also to be shown but should be out this year.

Hwai, I can't even find a goram place to buy a GeForce 6800GT.
Maybe if they would narrow it down to a low end, mainstream, and
high end part like they used to they wouldn't have so many tyen-sah
production problems. Instead the consumer is left scratching their
butts in confusion about 20 different versions of a product they
can't find or buy.

Oh sure. SLI would be good. It's just too bad there aren't any PCI
express Athlons out there as far as I know.

wow they are sure pushing SM 3.0....
Lol of course they could say "We said the only SM 3.0 Card in
its class, and it is, we never said it would perform well" if
it's an underpowered card.

"but Jen Hsun also confirmed SLI support for this upcoming
card"
Of course that doesn't mean it won't suck.

I just returned a GEforce FX 5700 because I 'd get very hot and it'd
freeze/restart my computer.
It sucks to get the same temperature for video cards and CPUs
