Earlier this morning, NVIDIA publicly unveiled their new 7800 GTX (G70) GPU
for immediate availability. Some of its features include CineFX 4.0, eight
vertex processing units, improvements in the pixel-shader, and improved
anti-aliasing. In addition, the NVIDIA G70 now uses an 110nm @ TSMC process, 80
million more transistors than the GeForce 6800, and runs at a 430MHz core /
600MHz GDDR3 clock speed. We will be bringing numerous 7800 GTX Linux reviews as
the week's progress.
but in the mean time, we are bringing some coverage of NVIDIA's 1.0-7667
Linux display drivers, which were also released this morning. Although this
driver comparison won't be as extravagant as our
NVIDIA Linux
Display Driver Performance Analyzed article, which was published last month,
we will be comparing these latest drivers against the 1.0-7664 and 1.0-7174
packages. Our test setup we used today contained an NVIDIA 6600GT 128MB (PCI
Express) and ran on a DFI LANPARTY UT motherboard.
