Anyway since Fermi is looking like it blows at the moment I am awaiting this....the 6870X2 special edition! Okay maybe not....Still interested in what the price of Fermi will be.

You'd think whoever took the time to shop that would have at least stuck a PLX chip on there. :lol:

i dont care if the 5870 is close to the 480, it cant run two high res screens so its completely useless for me. Editing the bios and tweaking doesnt scare me but should i have to do that straight out the box to get the card to do something my 8400gs/8800gtx/gtx260 does perfectly?

Anything I have seen so far are rumours, still it's already being preached as the truth. :confused:

^^ Answer me this please.

There is no rumor that GTX 480 would have 448 SP.

GTX 480 has been rumored to have either 480 or 512 SP.

Wrong. There was Charlie here:

http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/12/...-fermi-448sps/

It was based on Tesla Models, which have 448 SP.

i have been only reading. but this is really interest me. i couldnt help it but post. i feel its confirmed now that the gtx 480 is 512sp. i guess they wont post the wrong info on their website, right ?

i think Nvidia did all this to make as much hype for the card i bet it will sell like hot cakes when its released ;)

I think it's really funny that Charlie has ended up being one of the most reliable sources of info on fermi, and that is not good news for nVidia. If the 480 is 10% faster than the 5870, that will be a complete failure in my opinion. 8 months late, cut down shaders, lower clock speeds, cut down DP performance, heat issues, do I need to go on?

Certain custom 5870's have been hitting 1150mhz on air...

. For those not interested in the 'why' side of things, the short answer is that the top bin as it stands now is about 600MHz for the half hot clock, and 1200MHz for the hot clock, and the initial top part will have 448 shaders. On top of that, the fab wafer yields are still in single digit percentages.

So charlie has said 448 shaders, 480 shaders and 512 shaders for the gtx 480 of course he going to be right. :rofl:

Charlie covers his bases by gatling gunning rumors especially the negative ones. His fans forget when he is wrong and like to stress when he is right.

What kind of custom? Even the lightnings the reviewers are getting are having a hardtime getting to 1 ghz.

Hmm, ye. Noticed it too. I wonder if the specs are NOT YET finalised. Otherwise Zed_X will fail us maybe. That <300 W is not very confident for a part he said would be far from 298W.

Ppl at Nvidia don't know the final specs themselves probably :D

<300W is really so specific... they could have gone with <501PW also.

295 may be :ROTF: seems green boys are going to renew there power supplies if they want enjoy 3d surround :ROTF:

lightnings are crap anyway a lot of hype nothing inside :ROTF: i have several friends who easily hit 1050 with small voltage bump with refference models

To make a HD5870 get a good 10-15% performance gain, doncha need LN2 cooling anyways? The only real question is will it actually show up and run, seriously, the FX5800 and HD2900XT had more dignified timeframes.

You need just aircooling plus softwarte voltage increase(maybe) for a 10% increase,and many cards will do even +15% (thats still just 977Mhz core, some are doing 1ghz+).
However ,taking into consideration 10.3a catalysts even that much wont be necessary..

I certainly hope nvidia has some driver tweaks waiting to be unleashed also.

You have 801 posts, and if Zed X's words come true, I think 600 of them will turn out to be laughable ATI fanboi stuff.

So, it's 512 CC now again. despite Fudo's estimates earlier this week

LOL! I bet nVIDIA has been doing a disinfo campaign to hide the truth.
