GeForce 2 GTS Preview -- 9:57 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun
The NDAs have expired, here comes the news! NVIDIA has officially unvieled its GeForce 2 GTS GPU. Sharky Extreme has a very nice preview posted. Here's a comparison:GeForce | GeForce 2 | Voodoo5 V5500 | |
---|---|---|---|
Fillrate (MPix/sec) | 480 | 800 | 667 |
Texel Rate (MTex/sec) | 480 | 1600 | 667 |
T&L Speed (MTri/sec) | 15 | 25 | N/A |
The increased texel rate is because the GeForce 2 GTS can apply two textures to a pixel in one pass whereas the Geforce can only do one. If I drool anymore I'm going to short out my keyboard. Oh, and boards based on this chip will be out in about two weeks :) Gentlemen, shine your credit cards!
