18.11.2002 – GeForceFX (NV30) offiziell
Wie erwartet wurde heute auf der Comdex in Las Vegas NVIDIA's Grafikchip der nächsten Generation vorgestellt. Wie vermutet setzt NVIDIA zwar auf 128-bit Speicher, dafür aber auf DDR-II - Technologie. Die Taktrate des GPU's bewegt sich um die 500 Mhz, wurde aber noch nicht endgültig beschlossen. Der Arbeitspeicher arbeitet mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 1 Ghz.
Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung:
The GeForce FX GPU redefines the graphics capabilities for desktop PCs, by delivering:

- Awesome 3D Graphics Power: the world’s first 500MHz GPU is able to compute 375 million programmable vertices per second; 4 billion pixels per second; and 16 billion AA samples per second. And with the world’s first 1Ghz DDR2 memories, GeForce FX features the fastest frame buffer ever designed. Complete support for AGP8X and NVIDIA patent pending Intellisample™ technology ensures developers are able to create scenes of unrivaled beauty at unmatched speeds.
- Engineering Excellence: NVIDIA’s latest GPU delivers state-of-the-art technology and engineering expertise. The GeForce FX GPU packs nearly twice the number of transistors as the GeForce4 GPU by utilizing the industry’s most advanced 0.13 micron and copper manufacturing process. And combined with a radical and revolutionary patent pending dynamic thermal management solution, the GeForceFX GPU is an enthusiasts dream.
- Cinematic Visual Effects: Architected for high level programming languages such as Cg, the GeForce FX GPU with its new CineFX engine produces visual effects that take a quantum leap toward cinematic rendering. With the industry’s first 128-bit studio-quality color processing technology, the CineFX engine produces 3D worlds and characters more real than anything that’s come before.
