A big and hot one
We learned that Nvidia's real next generation chip codenamed GT200 is a 65nm chip. It sounds that it will be rather hot as last time we reported about it we learned that it will have more than a billion transistors.
ATI on the other hand has migrated with all its parts, low end to high end to 55nanometre but since NV30 debacle Nvidia is simply too scared to risk with the huge processor transition, and therefore it is being very cautions. Nvidia doesn’t want to fail as it has to be able to compete versus R700.
We also know that GT200 is going to be hotter than 9800GX2 dual chip card with two G92’s inside and that is quite a challenge.
Mooi nieuws voor AMD. Het lijkt er op dat de HD3870 X2 en de HD2900 XT twee opvolgers krijgen die nog meer verbruiken

Die GT200 wordt wel heel ziek qua verbruik als hij meer gaat gebruiken dan de 9800 GX2 ik denk dat we richting de 250 watt gaan.
Vind het wel erg veel lijken op de X3 benshmark. Alleen dan iets mooier.
Listed and expected
Microsoft now officially talks that DirectX 10.1 is the integrated part of DirectX 10.1.
The new API will enable new hardware features and according to Microsoft Service pack 1 “Adds support for Direct3D® 10.1, an update to Direct3D 10 that extends the API to support new hardware features, enabling 3D application and game developers to make more complete and efficient use of the upcoming generations of graphics hardware.” I am sure that Nvidia doesn’t likes the sound of it as it doesn’t have a support for DirectX 10.1.
The second release candidate dated 13th of January is already out and he adds a DirectX 10.1 support but currently, there are no much applications that can get the benefits of DirectX 10.1. We are sure that ATI’s demo team works hard to make some.
Service pack 1 for Vista is still scheduled for Q1 so we should see it hopefully before the last days of March as it should speed up a few things, while fixing some known bugs. You can read more at Microsoft’s TechNet here.
Ben benieuwd ik ga wel een dual boot met Vista 64 Bit maken omdat ik straks ook 4 GB heb en weer een ATi kaart dus wil die Whiteout demo nu wel eens realtime renderend zien

Hopelijk wordt vista beter met SP1. Kans is toch groot dat ik nog steeds het meeste in XP doe alleen de dingen die alleen in vista kunnen daar zal doen.
En hopelijk een nieuwe Ruby DX10.1 demo van ATi
