nVidia GeForce 4 (NV25)
News is surfacing from various sites on the upcoming GeForce 4. It seems as if these cards could be released/shown as early as January/Febuary. Seems a little early to release a GeForce 4, since the GeForce Ti 500 isn't exactly old hash quite yet. If there is truth to this, perhaps nVidia will launch it or demo it on the new systems at MWSF? After all, the GeForce 3 was first released at MacWorld Tokyo last year. I think MWTY again could be possible if the GeForce 4 is coming out that fast.
Here are a few specs:
GeForce4 Ti 1000: This is the fastest graphics cards built on GeForce4 chip working at about 300MHz frequency. The card will have AGP 8x interface and 128MB DDR SDRAM memory working at 700MHz.
GeForce4 Ti 500: This is a bit slower solution with around 275MHz chip frequency and 600MHz memory frequency. Although it will have AGP 4x interface, the card will still come with 128MB graphics memory.
GeForce4 MX 460: This is the eldest representative of the GeForce4 MX family. It will probably have 4 rendering pipelines and DirectX 8-compliant T&L unit. The amount of DDR graphics memory used (with 128bit bus) will be cut down to 64MB, and its working frequency will be reduced down to 550MHz. The core will work at 300MHz.
GeForce4 MX 440: These cards will go with 64MB DDR SDRAM with 128bit access bus. The memory working frequency will be 400MHz and the core frequency ? 275MHz.
GeForce4 MX 420: According to the available data, this GeForce4 MX version will be targeted for the Low-End market that is why the cards built on it will have 64MB SDR SDRAM memory working at 166MHz. The core will work at 250MHz. Besides, It looks as if there were only two rendering pipelines in this modification.

Imagine if Jobs demoed a G5 w/GeForce 4..............
ok I woke up.

<strong>Correction: GF3 was introduced at MWSF '01.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Correction GF3 was introduced at MW Tokyo 2001.
Geforce 2 products in the PowerMac line were introduced at MWSF 2001.
<strong>The next NVIDA GPU coming out in Apple machines is...nevermind, do not want to lose my job
I'll say it for you.... nForce.
Can you say dual channel RAM goodness....
lol! leave it to Apple to pick the highest price single CPU mobo on the market!
hey jared and codename....at the very least, thanks for the entertaining posts!

have we got an idear of the power of those cards especially the numbers of triangles per second ?
If Apple standardises on nForce across the Desktop line, then I wonder what will happen to the price line...
powerdoc as far as the GF4's fillrate goes, I think you need not worry about it

Prices will remain the same, margins will grow up...it's Apple, not Dell
rumors of hypertransport?
if the nForce chipset does get into a Mac, lets hope that nVidia has gotten the kinks worked out.
This complicates things a bit:
if nForce goes into the PowerMac, what will be the graphics card? Surely, it cannot be the integrated video...a GeForce 3? A GF3 Ti?
an ATi Radeon 8500?
Actually, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense for the nForce to go into the new iMac. Now that would be fscking cool. Jobs should move all desktops to DDR....if the G5 comes out in the PowerMac, Jobs wouldn't have to keep SDRAM in the iMac to distinguish the line.
Just give the Powermacs an AGP slot to go along with the integrated graphics. If both the AGP slot and the integrated graphics could be in use it'd make an easy peasy path for dual monitor set-ups!
<strong>Jared would you be JaredS from the old AI boards?</strong><hr></blockquote>
That would be me
The built in graphics (comparable to a GF2 MX) is meant only for value customers like businesses.
Man that really sounds like I know something, but in truth another pathetic guess.
Mmmmm....dual channel DDR northbridge.
<strong>
That would be me
nice to see ya back.
if anyone here would know anything it would be you.
come on, G4 or G5. PLEASE

:eek: SHUT DOWN!!! :eek: MacAddict, check your info before you descide to try and look like your smart again.
