6.GeForce 6 （NV40）series

nVIDIA's GeForce4 and GeForceFX series are unable to kill ati's R300 series, and their dominance is at stake. On April 14, 2004, nVIDIA released NV40 with a new architecture and redesign.

GeForce 6800 Ultra Engineering sample

The GeForce 6800 Ultra rendering pipeline has grown to 16 for the first time, using GDDR3 memory frequency to reach 1.1GHz, with a large number of transistors (222 million) but very efficient, and the performance is twice that of ATi Radeon 9800XT. ATi released the Radeon X800 Pro (R420) of the R400 series on May 4, 2004. Because it does not support DX 9.0c, it still loses to the GeForce 6800 Ultra, and both technology and performance lag behind. It was not until February 28, 2005 that ATi optimized the manufacturing process on the basis of the X800 and launched the Radeon X850 (R480) after improvement. But it was crushed by nVIDIA's SLI technology.

Radeon X850 Engineering sample

R480.jpg

The NV45 (GeForce 6800 Ultra) released by nVIDIA on June 28, 2004 is an NV40 with an AGP-to-PCI Express bridge. The implementation of the PCI-E interface standard gave birth to SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology. 3dfx developed SLI (Scan Line Interleave) technology as early as 1995, and its original Voodoo graphics card (Obsidian SB50) reserved SLI interfaces. SLI technology can bridge two Voodoo graphics cards to obtain a 3D performance improvement, which is about 50% higher, which is equivalent to 1.5 voodoo cards.

3dfx Obsidian 100DB-4440 Qualification Sample

After nVIDIA acquired 3dfx , it improved the SLI technology and created an SLI model with a wide range of applications and high work efficiency with the aid of the new PCI-E interface. On the launch day of NV45 (GeForce 6800 Ultra), nVIDIA also announced the official promotional image of GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI.

GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI

nVIDIA first only released the high-end series of GeForce 6800 graphics cards to support this technology, and later it extended it to the full range of GeForce 6 series. In fact, the performance of the two cards in SLI mode is increased by about 50% on average, and low-end graphics cards are more efficient than high-end graphics cards.
On June 1, 2005, nearly a year after SLI was released, ATi finally responded with CrossFire technology. nVIDIA's SLI technology connects two identical graphics cards through a bridged daughter card, but ATi uses a DVI dedicated cable to connect the CrossFire Edition main card and the conventional graphics card. On the same day, ATi also announced the official promotional pictures of the Radeon X850 Crossfire Link.
Radeon X850 CrossFire​

The performance of ati's two-card crossfire mode is improved by less than 50% on average. It is commonly known that the two-card crossfire is only equivalent to 1.5 graphics cards, which is almost the same as nVIDIA. ati's CrossFire technology requires a special CrossFire main card. Four chips including FPGA, ROM, DVI, RAMDAC, a special DVI interface, and complex DVI cables are added to the card. The cost is high and assembly is troublesome. This seemingly small design failure of CrossFire has caused the rapid loss of the hard-won high-end user base, which has a fatal impact on ati. In this round of N/A GPU fierce battle, ATi is very passive, and nVIDIA has become stronger since then.

Seeing that N/A has even launched dual-card interconnection one after another, XGI has the experience that Volari Duo V8 Ultra graphics cards that have previously taken out dual-core cards have been beaten by N/A's graphics cards. XGI had to give up the idea of GPU competition. XGI released a brand-new product-Volari 8300 on November 9, 2005, focusing on excellent video playback quality, no longer talking about 3D performance. Its 3D performance is indeed not flattering, only comparable to GeForce 6200TC. Although XGI was so low-key, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the end. On March 6, 2006, ATi acquired part of XGI's business, and XGI withdrew from the GPU competition.

With nVIDIA's Jedi counterattack, ATi swallowed the bitter pill of squeezing toothpaste. ati's acquisition of XGI is also to obtain the technical reserves needed to develop the R600 display chip. Intent to reverse the defeat through the innovative design of the R600 display chip. Maybe at this time nVIDIA is too powerful, ATi has a psychological shadow. When AMD extended its olive branch, ATi immediately sold itself completely on October 25, 2006, becoming the most inexplicable loser in the GPU hegemony. Fortunately, AMD has joined the GPU race. The R600 chip prototype graphics card has become the swan song of ATi graphics cards. According to ati's naming rules, it should be called X2900XTX; according to AMD's naming rules, it is called HD2900XTX, and now collectively referred to as HD2900XTX.

On March 9, 2005, VIA announced GammaChrome S18. GammaChrome S18 is the first PCI-E graphics card from S3 Graphics, using a 0.13 micron manufacturing process. It has strong 2D and movie processing capabilities, and 3D processing capabilities are close to that of mid-level graphics cards at the time, surpassing nVIDIA GeForce 6200TC.

GammaChrome S18 Engineering sample

In this GPU competition, VIA survived the N/A cracks, but as the third strongest GPU, it still persisted for several years. On January 3, 2011, it announced the launch of the world's first eH1 graphics card specifically designed for the embedded market, for digital signage and advertising, POS, POI, games or any embedded applications that require complex graphics. Equipped with the last display chip developed by S3-Chrome 5400E embedded display chip. The Chrome 5400E chip is an embedded version of the Chrome 540 GTX chip released on February 12, 2009. It can be seen that the research and development work of S3 in the past two years has been nearly suspended. On July 6, 2011, VIA sold S3 Graphics, leaving only two dominant GPUs.

VIA eH1 Engineering sample

When VIA's S3 was in recession in 2009, Intel tried to replace it and launched the Larrabee graphics card in early 2009. Intel is the absolute boss of integrated graphics card. Intel thinks it is easier to be the third overlord of discrete graphics card and GPU. As a result, the GPU was made into a CPU, so I had no choice but to bid farewell to the Discrete graphics card and switch to the Core graphics card. But the third overlord of the GPU, if it is not the Intel with the background, who else can it be?

In this GPU competition dominated by nVIDIA, all the original opponents were defeated by nVIDIA. Even if some alliances and some mergers and acquisitions, they still do not constitute a powerful threat to nVIDIA.

In addition to the GeForce 6800 series, GeForce 6 also includes the GeForce 6600, GeForce 6500, and GeForce 6200 series; the mobile version of GeForce Go 6800/6600/6400/6200; the professional version of Quadro 1400/1500/3400/3450.

In addition, there are Quadro NVS 285 (NV44), Quadro NVS 440 (2× NV43) and Quadro FX Go1400 (NV41GLM).

Attachment: Interpretation of the graphics card suffix:
Ultra: The strongest in this series, the flagship product.
GTX: The performance is between GTS and Ultra. Generally, it is the first high-end product released by nVIDIA.
GTS: The performance is below GTX, which is a bit vague compared to GT.
GT: The frequency and pipeline are improved compared with LE GS SE XT.
GS: The performance is below GT, and the frequency, rendering pipeline or video memory bit width has been reduced.
LE: The abbreviation of "Limit Edition", which means the limited edition, representing the entry-level product in a certain production series.
SE: Similar to LE.
XT: Means the reduced frequency version, which reduces the frequency of the standard version and cuts the pipeline for some products.
MX: GeForce2/4 series, low-end products
TI: GeForce2/3/4 series, high-end products
