Got some info from XGI on there new PCI Express cards, model numbers XG45 and XG47.

The XG47 has a 350MHz core and 300 MHz memory. Competition is seen as the Radeon X300 and the nVidia 6200TC.

The XG45 has a 450 MHz core and 450 MHz memory. Competition is seen as the Radeon X700/X700Pro/X700XT and the nVidia 6600/6600GT. Benches show it above the base 660 and X700, but below the top cards.

Both cards support DDR only. Later cards will have DDR, DDR2, and GDDR3 support. And yes, the same HDTV support as the V3XT and V8.

And, yes... the XG47 has weaker specs than the XG45. The progression shows the XG45 evolving into the XG50 and then the XG6x, by 2006. The XG47 evolves into the XG51 and then a lower XG6x in the same time frame.

There really are alot of slides in the presentation they sent me, but they asked that they just be paraphrased, and not copied and pasted!

Here is a pic of a sample XG47, though...

OMG, is that some kind of SLI socket at the top of the card!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!

I thought it as another VGA header... But, either way...

It looks like DVI from the pics i saw

True, true...

hmm maby its one of those magical plugs that has some weird pin configuration that doesnt fit anything.

Why in the world would it be located INSIDE the case though?

The SLI connector on SLI cards is located right about there, maybe its for future use?

*dramatic music* Ya see if you can get more pics of the connectos pin config.

Here are the full specs on XG47... 4 display outputs mentioned. Also does a reverse on what the PDF says about the core/memory speeds:

can i use an internal dvi for?
