The following Sony VAIO notebooks are included in the Verde notebook program: Sony VAIO F Series with NVIDIA. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology are not supported (NVIDIA Optimus technology is supported).
Anything over that spec is a partner-defined board that may or may not be allowed the GT moniker, since it potentially impinges on the basic Ultra spec, depending on the DVI port configuration.įinally, the plain 6800 is defined as a three-quad NV40 (AGP), running at 335MHz, with 128MB of DDR memory running at up to 700MHz on a 256-bit memory bus, with either dual-DVI or DVI and VGA, although more likely the latter. This driver, version 352.84, is the first WHQL-certified and latest recommended driver for all pre-release Windows 10 testing. Meet those specs, call your board a GT according to NVIDIA's marketing specs. The GT is defined as a full four-quad NV40 (again, on AGP), running between 325MHz and 350MHz, with 256MB of GDDR3 memory running at up to 1000MHz on a 256-bit memory bus, with either dual-DVI, or DVI and VGA. Any board that comes clocked higher is able to be called an Ultra, according to NVIDIA's marketing specs, but the GPU shipped to them by NVIDIA after sale is only warrantied up to 425MHz. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, just like xx70 cards of previous generations, looks to fill the gap between the mid-range and the top-end. Any 6-series board that meets those specs is a 6800 Ultra. It therefore makes sense to see what defines each board.Ĭurrently, NVIDIA state that a 6800 Ultra is a full four quad NV40 (AGP part) running between 400 and 425MHz, with 256MB of GDDR3 memory running between 11MHz on a 256-bit memory bus, with a pair of DVI ports.
The plain 6800, usually referred to as the non-Ultra, sits at the bottom of their new range, while the 6800 GT sits between the 6800 and the 6800 Ultra. So it took us a while to snag the other pair of AGP reference boards, based on the 6-series. That only 6800 Ultra boards were available to most European websites in April is testament to that fact. While the launch of NVIDIA's GeForce 6-series of GPUs was way back in April, it's not been the easiest of rides for them, or indeed ATI soon after, to get their new GPU series to retail.
