Desktop Graphics Card Comparison Guide - Page 5

Good, really NICE guide. However, I wonder if I'm mistaken or is it that the real clock speeds for the Geforce FX 5200 are 250/400 (DDR)...

Now here's some info on the pre NV10 cards:

NV3 - Riva 128: 100/100 128-bit, 1x1 pipeline (4MB)
NV3.5 - Riva 128ZX: 100/100 128bit, 1x1 pipeline (8MB)
NV4 - Riva TNT: 90/110 128bit, 2x1 pipelines
NV4 - Riva TNT b-step: 125/110 128bit 2x1 pipelines
NV5 - TNT2: 125/150 128bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)
NV5 - TNT2 Ultra: 150/183 128bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)
NV6 - TNT2 Pro: 143/166 128bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)
NV6 - TNT2 M64: 125/150 64bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)
NV6 - Vanta: 100/125 64bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)
NV6 - Vanta LT: 80/100 64bit 2x1 pipelines (DX6)

Don't know the NV1 specs as used in the Diamond Edge 3D

Hi gf2gts2,

Thanks for all the specs you posted here

I'll add them inside in the coming update

About the 5200's memory speed, i'll check them later

Another thing, can you provide some information on the "b-step" TNT which you posted?

Where is the speadsheet, so I can download it? It's good to show customers.

First off I want to say that this is a great list. There are just a few things I wanted to point out. The 5950's codename was NV38 and all of the Volari's, save the V3 I believe, have one TMU too many, meaning their fillrate should be halved. Other than that I think everything is good.

Max_87 · 11th Jun 2004, 10:50 PM

Alright, the 5950 core codename is corrected, thanks

Which card's fill rate should be halved?

Ardrid · 11th Jun 2004, 10:54 PM

All of the Volaris, except for the V3, should only have 1 TMU and should have their fillrate halved. I'm double checking just to be sure, but I'm pretty positive the only Volari with 2 TMUs is the V3.

Max_87 · 11th Jun 2004, 11:12 PM

What is the TMU you mentioned?

Max_87 · 12th Jun 2004, 12:31 AM

BTW, the specs are confirmed by XGI's marketing engineer
