Digit Life have released a new review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 1024MB graphics card, one of the latest to hit the market:
Quote:
GPU complexity is the first thing that attracts attention. One point four billion transistors make GT200 the most complex GPU ever. Being manufactured by the same 65nm process technology as G9x chips, the new GPU is rather big, consumes much power, and dissipates much heat. Its operating frequencies are apparently reduced relative to the previous solutions.
The new 55nm process technology will reduce manufacturing costs. As for now, these TSMC production facilities are probably used for other chips.
GT200 has a lot of quantitative and qualitative changes. The graphics processor used in GeForce GTX 200 cards features a lot of improvements and modifications relative to the previous GPUs.
