Specially the main stream cards. To think my friend wanted to buy the 250 as an upgrade over his 8800 Ultra :(

We all gonna die before G92 does - that much is certain.:eek:

Since it got out it'll never go away and just spread. :wth:
lol, dont forget 'compare and buy button' on the geforce 210 pageQuote:

You will need resized motherboard from nVidia for that!Quote:

Fermi - the story so far
1. High clocks, lots of transistors, revolutionary architecture - NV30 good video card make did not.
2. Nobody has ever made a great video card, late. The "comeback" is a dream yet to be realized. Radeon < GF2. fx5800 < 9700pro. X2900XT < 8800GTX, Fermi...
3. It takes more than just a year to make an ASIC, and with so many changes, odds are stacked against nVidia:
Feb 2010 launch may be optimistic.. enormous amount of testing and bugs possible with:
- GDDR5 (unlike AMD whiich has already used it for a year, this will be nVidias first)
- 40nm & 3.1B transistors & clocks (high yields are virtually impossible - praying for avg)
- lots of work required for DX11 (ie AMD had DX10.1 since HD3xx..)
- huge architectural changes to SPs to accommodate DFP performance (AMD just doubled theirs with minor tweaks)
- pressure-cooker deadlines produce glitchy product: PSU problems, mobo/chipset incompatability, XP/Vista/Win7 compatibility
Even if Fermi is perfect in every way possible and has enormous performance improvement:
- certainly, a price to match
- not even rumours of mid/low range parts - AMD already has HD57xx out last month.
- no mention of anything to counter eyeInfinity
- exclusive PhysX advantage lost since DX11 provides open standard
(just wait it can get much worse!!)
depending on extent of delay ..
- despite popular TWIMTBP game dev forced to partner with AMD since only DX11 market solution
- nVidia loses OEM contracts since no Win7+DX11 check box feature
- games are made and QA according to AMD spec - after months game dev unlikely to patch to fix nVidia bugs and nVidia likely to have more rough unoptimized glitchy driver
- nVidia only has graphics to rely on. Can't make chipsets for either AMD or Intel. No CPU business. And even last generation GTX280/260 lost bad in price/performance compared to HD4870/4850.
- super bad: last couple nVidia OEM/retail releases - parts that struggle to compete with HD4650 - already giving lame has-been impression...

Although I realize this is xtremesystems, 90% of gamers and I wont be even able to buy Fermi. Its awefully concerning that we dont even have rumours of nVidia DX11 mid/low end parts, and yet AMD already has cheap cards that make virtually all nVidia cards obsolete. Think about that for a minute.
Fermi reviled:

With enhanced G92 cores in a 4 way SLi configuration. Pay less get performance more than a 5870, fastest single card in the market.
lol aja
My bad, guess they actually changed something, then :DQuote:

Don't know about that, I just meant that the 310's site also has no "compare and buy" button, maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet. Still, it is a differenceQuote:

Afterall, what crazy lunatic wouldn't rush stark raving mad into Best Buy clamoring for his super dooper 128bit 512MB 3.4Ghz GDDR5 equipped GT 240.
This turbo charged GDDR3 HD4670 beating speed deamon is nVidia's DX10.1 flagship!!
:rofl::ROTF::rofl:
Anyone noticed this totally totally legit comparison in that article?
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/r..._240_physx.jpg
Who needs Fermi, GTX 275 is already k.i.n.g.! (the real way it's mean to bs) ;)
Hmm is that like the 8800GS but with 128bit / GDDR5?Quote:

It seems like a 9600GT with GDDR5 to me. But 9600gt has 64 sp, 16 rops and 256bit.Quote:

BTW, is that article written by Nvidia directly?
that's 14fps, it's because that fps is from a PhysX game and they aren't using an nvidia card or an i7 with Physics set to use all cores.Quote:
