NVIDIA wants to keep details about G92 and G98 under wraps, but as the product is getting ready some details are slowly, but certainly slipping out of Graphzilla's cave. Even though the company is trying to keep everyone in the dark, we managed to dig some information out for you. For starters, NVIDIA is strongly on-board with DisplayPort and NVIDIA is committed onto delivering DisplayPort in time for Dell's launch of their upcoming new series of displays, all of which should support DisplayPort connections. The launch should coincide with CES 2008 show in Las Vegas. However, the company still has to sort out the problems that we reported last week. - The Inquirer NVIDIA's Upcoming G92 Gunning for +800MHz Clock
When it comes to performance, even if this chip was just a shrunk down G80, the clock would give significant benefits in performance thanks to increased clock of the GPU itself. Luckily, for future owners, NVIDIA reworked quite a lot of things from the original marchitecture to make this thing work faster. We managed to learn that GPU clock has surpassed 800MHz and that company plans to deliver the boards depending on yields they will get. This time around, there is no hurry and NVIDIA knows they can afford the launch of GTS/GTX and wait for R680 to show up and launch the Ultra version as a counter attack. There is quite a lot NVIDIA has to support with the G92 series of chips, and what yours truly wonders the most is will the G92 support just OpenGL 3.0, or will the chip support Mount Evans as well. Of course, DirectX 10.1 is also a moot point at this time, and worst case scenario would be support for DirectX 10.0+, but somehow we don't feel that source was right on target. Overall, one thing is certain, the G92 will deliver significant performance boost at GeForce 8800 price standpoint.
