Nvidia G80 Rumours

Postby Silverhaze on Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:37 pm

At least these don’t come from The Inquirer! The good folks at Xbit Labs have word that Nvidia’s first foray into Directx 10 graphics chips will be a hybrid one: No unified shaders just yet, as they will be sticking to the tried and true method of separate pixel and vertex shaders:

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.

Technology just keeps marching on eh?
