More NV40 details emerge
A Beyond3D forum member has posted the following information, obtained from someone with an A2 revision of NVIDIA's next-generation NV40 Graphics Processing Unit.
NV40 revision A2 - clocked at 475MHz core and 1.2GHz memory (GDDR-3)
16 pipelines - 3DMark2001 single-texture fillrate of 7,010 MPixels/sec and multi-texture fillrate of 7,234 MPixels/sec
Pixel shader performance - ranges from 2.5X to 5X over GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (I've heard up to 7X in extreme cases)
Antialiasing in screenshots - 4X RGMS (rotated grid multi-sampling)
Max anisotropic filtering - 8X with tested driver, but might see 16X
Gameplay performance - 2.5X to 3X faster than GeForce FX 5950 Ultra using high resolutions with AA and AF
Image quality - "far far better"
