Nvidia's G80 To Have 48 Pipeline Design

Omega65

According to rumors posted by Xbitlabs, Nvidia's next major GPU design, the G80, is to be a 48 pipeline, DX10 part.

Nvidia’s code-named G80 graphics processing unit (GPU) will incorporate 48 pixel shader processors and an unknown number of vertex shader processors, some unofficial sources said. The chip is still expected to support feature-set of DirectX 10 along with Shader Model 4.0, even though it will not take advantage of the unified processors that can compute both pixel and vertex shaders.

No, neon green only. And definitely no neon red.

Toasted

& 3 months after the release of G80, out comes the G81 !!! with 64 pixel shader processors! yay! den another 3 months after dat, we'll have the G81, 1 gigabyte version. dis is my prediction.
