So, what are the chances of Fermi revisions coming out by the end of the year? 5%? 20%? Or is the joint in my hand just too good to be true?

i bealeve that they would be fine @512 . my 480 has been folding for like 8 hours now running at 100% and the temp is 79 and the pcb temp is only 60 not to mention i have it OC'ed a good bit for stock cooling. i think it would be ok, i am just wondering if or when some one will come out with a bios that will unlock it : )
running well at 480 has nothing to do with running at 512

BTW, I'm not saying my additional 32 cores will be operational, but IMO it's worth a try. :up:
Based on history (200 series), I'd stake 70% chance by forth quarter, already hearing rumors.Quote:

GF104 on the 12th...
"A "little" quicker, A "little" cooler, A "little" easier to make". Well with the larger exhaust ports that will account for the little cooler claim, a little quicker is the increase of 40MHz and the quieter is easily done by a fan that has less restriction because of the larger exhaust ports! I know any GTX 480 can overclock 40MHz without even touching the Vcore voltage, what a load of crap!

The rumors went, May, June now July?!?!Quote:

it pretty obvious a refresh is coming, now when is the question. (BTW it is still June)
From the various users and techs I have chatted with regarding the 480, it's not necessarily a safe bet folding on one with a stock cooler. On a good WC setup yes, but 24/7 folding on a 480 with stock cooler can lead to increasingly hotter temps. Your risk if you want to, just make sure you have one with a lifetime warranty from a reliable manufacturer that honors it without a fuss.
Interesting that they talked about the photo this way:Quote:

When the photo was "MADE"? Not taken, "made". Hmmm, some clever use of Photoshop maybe, esp since Fudzilla is referenced in the article.
Buying 480 is - let’s say diplomatically - eccentric. No matter will or not there be 485. ATI 5 series are just much better product.
I couldn't say it better!Quote:

the 5800 series can't even handle basic DX11 features, the thing they tried to advertise so hard.
Every board that supports SLI supports Crossfire AFAIK...Quote:

Huh... ?
you posted before i hit enter i was about to ask for someone to explain to me how to get my board to do crossfire
Fanboy war :)Quote:

Suppose you have Nvidia chipset? Just did a quick search, there used to be some 'hacked' drivers that supported CF, but looks like scaling wasn't the best. Not sure if there are any BIOS or recent driver mods...Quote:
