edited November 2003 in Science & Tech
[blockquote]According to the nVidia 52.70 drivers news posting from <a href="http://www.3dchipset.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=573&quot; target="_new">3DChipset</a> we have more informations about the GeForceFX 5900XT. The GeForceFX 5900XT is based on the NV35 chipset without any limitations (still have 256 bit memory interface and the well-known 4x2 architecture), clock rates are 390/350 MHz (nVidia default). The price will we a little lower than GeForceFX 5900SE (400/350 MHz).

An another new graphic card from nVidia is the GeForceFX 5600XT. Based on NV31 chipset without any limitatations, the GeForceFX 5600XT is clocked at 235/200 MHz (nVidia default).[/blockquote]<b>Read the rest at <a href="http://www.3dcenter.org/artikel/2003/11-09_a.php&quot; target="_new"> 3dCenter</a> including information about the clock rates from the new Radeon 9200SE, Radeon 9600SE and GeForceFX 5700 non Ultra chipsets, and based on reliable sources.

    Now they're stealing marketing suffixes? :rolleyes2

    kinda like WinXP and AthlonXP, but given AMD's limited marketing budget, i thought it wasnt a bad idea on their part.

    nVidia however has a bigger marketing budget to play with and therefore doesnt need to ride someone elses coat tails.

    Thats what I was thinking. They took it from ATI all right.

    Wouldn't be the first time. Take the FX suffix for example. The first case I'm aware of is the Apple Macintosh IIfx, which is arguably the fastest 68k-based Macintosh (40MHz 68030, only pre-Power Macintosh with DMA-based serial ports).

    Later you have IBM with the PowerPC 750FX, the fastest 750-based processor (G3) that is actually faster for the same clock speed than 755x-based processors (G4) on non-AltiVec optimized applications. Apple hated this processor, because it put all their hyped-up G4's to shame. Needless to say, it didn't appear in any Macs except as an upgrade module from a 3rd-party manufacturer.

    Now AMD has adpoted the -FX moniker for their high-end Athlon64 chips.

    So -fx has actually been stolen twice now, if "stealing" is the proper word for it. I wouldn't mind having parts with that suffix in my computer, since anything carrying that designation has quite a legacy to live up to. ;)

    I think it's more that AMD isn't in competition with Microsoft in any way. They sort of benefit mutually. But this just makes NVidia look bad. Also different from drasnor's processor naming example in that these are contemporaries.

    oh well - it's their problem

    either way its still trying to garner sales based on the recognition of something else. im not saying its bad on AMD's part, as they need all the sales help they get with Intel out there throwing money at the Best Buy and Circuit City (and others) droids in order to skew their sales recomendations.

    we all know that the same people that go there and buy based on the mhz number, are gonna be some of the same ones that associate AthlonXP and WinXP. cause their gonna hear the "XP" and think "oh yea i hear thats good"

    as for nVidia, i dont know why they bothered. as its the people "in the know" about computers that they are selling too, and we already know what we're buying, so its not like they're gonna catch us with a simple suffix.

    but yeah there's a bit of a difference, just not much.

    Yep. I have.

    But now I can easily capitalize on my hatred!

    Intel sucks.
