Deze laatse zal ipv Infenion Hyundai geheugen hebben, wat volgens Guillemot betere resultaten oplevert bij het overklokken . De kaarten worden begin mei in de schappen verwacht, de 64MB versie midden / eind mei":
Today, 27th of April, I was able to attend a Press Conference with Guillemot Belgium. Main topic was of course the announcement of their GeForce2 GTS based 3D Prophet2 GTS 32MB cards. In the coming month Guillemot will release 2 cards, one 32MB version and a 64MB version. Both boards will be targetted at High Power Users who want to overclock these babies. Because of this Guillemot has included a special heatsink with high-power fan and little heatsinks on all of the memory chips. The 32MB board, which will be in stores early next month, will feature DDR RAM from Infinion. According to the Guillemot R&D guy who did the presentation this Infinion DDR RAM is the only DDR RAM that is available right now in large enough quantities at the 333MHz speed. He did mention, very honestly, that this Infinion Ram is pretty bad at overclocking, these chips are only stable up to 340MHz.
He actually showed us this by overclocking the sample he had in the demo machine to 340 and to 350 MHz. At 340 the Quake3 test ran fine but at 350 the machine crashed after a couple of minutes.The base core speed of both boards is 200MHz but higher clocks are no problem as long as the AGP port can deliver enough power to the chipset (according to the same R&D guy the main issue with overclocking is the voltage and current supply of the motherboard, so if your overclocking fails it might be your motherboard).
