nVidia's most pressing task must be to halt sales of AMD cards until they are ready to ship their own.

JHH was doing exactly that recently when he was talking about the lack of DirectX11 titles currently out.

However, if they really wanted to halt sales I do believe they would have leaked more than a few benchmarks by now. The only two comparisons I have seen so far are meaningless.

Maybe that's why they are leaking marketing instead of numbers.

ATi hired a boat, nvidia hired an emo - just saying.

Dude, did you even bother to look at the "specs" of that cutting edge computer? Here are a few tidbits of that "cutting edge" computer:

MSI G31TM-P21 Motherboard

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 Processor

Ultra LS500 Lifetime Series 500W Power Supply

XFX GeForce 9800 GT 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI Video Card

Corsair Value Select (2GB) 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 Desktop Memory

(The above taken from both nVidia's specs and CompUSA/TigerDirect's specs for this "ultimate" system.)

What a laugh! Cutting edge my butt! Those bits are just entry level.....enough for my mother, maybe, but cutting edge? LOL!

And love the "high quality" power supply being jammed into that cheapie CoolerMaster 334 case....a case that typically sells for under $35 at MicroCenter/Fry's.

the annoucnment is the Geforce LAN folks. Nvidia used to have GforceLANS for card launches but they have not done that in a couple years. The timing of the release and PAX East led them to use that venue.

nowhere on that page does it say "Fermi" or "480 / 470" , so the "highly-anticipated, next-generation GPU" may as well be new die-shrink G92 :rofl:
