HURRAY: Nvidia 600 series not just Fermi!! (Kepler)

[Prema]

First 6xx series BIOS dump, GT630m:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 570 560 460 ATI Radeon HD 6970 6950 6870 5970 :: MVKTech :: On the Edge of Technology - Re:Who can help me with BIOS changes for a GeForce GT 630M? - MVKTech Support Forums

Hope we get a 675m dump soon, maybe we gain fresh voltage tables for our good old 580m...

oh nvm read it wrong

[Cloudfire]

Well, I dont know

Look at this, notebookjournal.de benchmarked the 640m in gigabyte 2442 with the 640m and it reached 142.000 points

German Source

For example the msi ge20dx with an i5 and 555m scores 149,609 points

Doesnt look that much stronger, although obviously the aquamark bench isnt the best choice, but 3dmark 11 supposely crashes..

I really hope though its kepler and there is also still the 650m

and here is a GT555M scoring 121 000....

Wonder why?

Aquamark 3 is a benchmark program used to measure computer performance. The software is now retired but is still a great application for a quick measure of system performance.

Its a benchmark that tell very little about GPU performance. The GT555M score you found was an 35W i5 processors capable of turboing to 3.0GHz. The GT 555M score I linked to above had an 35W i3 processor clocked at 2.2GHz, without any turbo boost. The ULV processor tested @ CeBIT is a 17W clocked at 1.7GHz. The only CPU we know of that is clocked at that frequency at stock speed is Core i5-3317U, a 17-14W CPU, capable of turboing up to 2.4GHz. A pretty weak CPU, no where near the i5 tested that reached the 149 000 points.

You probably get my point.

We have already compared 640M to 540M and it is like 65% faster with the games tested. Pretty shure its able to trumph the 555M too.

BIG NEWS!!

KEPLER WILL HAVE TURBO BOOST

A significant departure from the current generation of Nvidia GPUs is the so-called dynamic clocking, or Dynamic Clock Adjustment. This turbo circuit for the graphics chip works much like Intel's Turbo Boost and Intel Turbo Core: Nvidia sets for Kepler graphics card has a maximum power consumption, they do not exceed. In games, the average power consumption is usually well below this value. Then, Kepler graphics cards increase the GPU clock speed on the fly and automatically, until they hit either of the defined limits of power consumption or to a graphics card in the BIOS stored maximum value for the 3D clock frequency. The values ​​for 3DMax and 3D are available for specifying a source in a fixed relationship to each other, a common room would be between 5 and 7 percent. Dynamic Turbo Automatic expected benchmark comparisons difficult with other graphics cards. However, it was to hear from some manufacturers, there will be the launch of the GTX 680 in late March first no-OC versions.

Now all we need to know is the TDP and power consumption to see if it truly is a Kepler and a formidable refresh.

I'd settle for a GPU-Z at this point. 5 days of CeBIT left, and so far I know nothing about anything.

CeBIT is March 6-10 according to CeBIT website.

its the end of (manual) overclocking then. the enthusiast market keeps getting smaller.

[Kevin]

CeBIT is March 6-10 according to CeBIT website.

Hmm for some reason I've been thinking it was the 12th... don't know where I got that.

Hopefully the secrets start coming out tomorrow then, I need some news.

[plancy]

Me too, all I need is news to keep me going.
