“Earlier this morning, NVIDIA publicly unveiled their new 7800
GTX (G70) GPU for immediate availability. Some of its features
include CineFX 4.0, eight vertex processing units, improvements in
the pixel-shader, and improved anti-aliasing. In addition, the
NVIDIA G70 now uses an 110nm @ TSMC process, 80 million more
transistors than the GeForce 6800, and runs at a 430MHz core /
600MHz GDDR3 clock speed. We will be bringing numerous 7800 GTX
Linux reviews as the week’s progress, but in the mean time, we are
bringing some coverage of NVIDIA’s 1.0-7667 Linux display drivers,
which were also released this morning. Although this driver
comparison won’t be as extravagant as our NVIDIA Linux Display
Driver Performance Analyzed article, which was published last
month, we will be comparing these latest drivers against the
1.0-7664 and 1.0-7174 packages. Our test setup we used today
contained an NVIDIA 6600GT 128MB (PCI Express) and ran on a DFI
LANPARTY UT motherboard…”
