WE CAN NOW confirm that Nvidia will have two versions of the NV40 chip once it is ready to show it to the world.
As is now traditional, Nvidia will have one extremely expensive card that will cost about ?/$499. This card is expected to be faster clocked and it will have faster memory as well.
The memory target sits close to the 600MHz range but it's still being tested for the right speed. As previously suggested, the card will use GDDR 3 memory which consumes less power and runs cooler then DDR 2.
The NV40 non ultra, amateur version is going to be clocked lower but we don?t have any details how slower yet. The price will be around ?/$299.
Both boards will use similar memory configurations but we suspect that Nvidia might offer a 128 bit version of the card.
Nvidia will use similar PCBs (printed circuit boards) for desktop and workstation cards as before.
Production of NV40/NV40 Ultra is scheduled for April.
