GeForce GTX 280 Got 7000+ Points In 3DMark Vantage Extreme

[HellasVagabond]

We got to know that NVIDIA next generation GeForce GTX 280 scored more than 7000 in 3DMark Vantage Extreme which doubled GeForce 9800GX2, but we dont know the hardware and software platform.

We also heard that GeForce GTX 280 used 512-bit 1GB GDDR3, built in 240SP and its TDP is 250W. It will use dual slot cooling fans. It can ran Crysis smoothly under 1920*1200. Anyway, we expect NVIDIA to announce the final results.

Unfortunately there are 4 presets in Vantage. What preset have they used ? :\

They said Vantage Xtreme and that it scored twice the points of the 9800GX2...Aint that enough ?

Wait, GDDR3?

Also - 930 GFlops.

Photo estimates put it 550mm2, which means if this is fabbed at 65nM, this is going to have a TPD through the roof. Probably 250+, unless they've glued a PhysX unto it to.
