Associates assumed that the technology hybrid power from NVIDIA will be for all video card on base of 65 nm video chip . The support Of hybrid power will be added in certain video card ( new generation ), which will be released in the first quarter of the present year.
The technology hybrid power, allow to switch between integrated core and video card to save electric power. Monitor in this case is connected to the motherboard, which has some limitations on supported graphic modes.
NVIDIA representative explained, that hybrid power support will ensure only video card series geForce 9800. For more economical video card (GeForce 9600 GT or GeForce 9500 GT ) the introduction of hybrid power support simply does not have sense.
Associate also obtained information about the layout of new high end video card NVIDIA. According to the company representative , in each new generation video card will first appear in one chip solution, which ensures peak performance, and only later will appear two-chip version . In principle, in connection with G92 such strategy already works: GeForce 8800 GT was released and then two-chip product geForce 9800 GX2 will appear on the following week.
NVIDIA do not exclude the possibility to release products with wider memory system bus in comparison with present 256- bit, which is present in all products on base of g92 chip .
