More GeForce 8800 derivatives make an appearance
NVIDIA has released to its partners plans to announce a 320MB GeForce 8800 GTS product. NVIDIA's embargo date for the 8800 GTS 320MB is slated for mid-February.
The GeForce 8800 GTS is designed to reduce the cost of enthusiast-level DirectX 10. Samsung K4J55323QG-BC12 (800MHz GDDR3 memory) has a spot market price of about $50 for 640MB. We can reasonably expect a $25 reduction in the bill of materials for the 320MB version of the card.
The 320MB card is one of the many G80 derivatives expected for Q1'07. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang confirmed the company's plans for more DirectX 10 video cards in an interview late last year.
GeForce 8800 GTS, also known as G80-100, already exists as a 640MB product. All aspects of the 640MB card will remain the same for the 320MB derivative: 500MHz core frequency, 800MHz memory frequency and 96 stream processors. The PCB layout and cooling will remain the same.
Other DirectX 10 GeForce cards such as G84-300 and G86-300 are expected to ship before the AMD R600 graphics card. R600 is currently scheduled to launch at Cebit 2007 in late Q1'07.
