Some people were expecting Asus mars performance(SLI gtx 285 2gb) or better, from a single 5870.

I would invite you guys to look at past Nvidia press decks which have been posted again and again. It will be obvious that these are not from an official NVIDIA deck.
I am sure it is getting them a massive number of hits regardless of the validity. Mission successful.Quote:

Normally nVidia graphs don't show fps but have a (ATI) baseline (1) and compare there card against it. Like this 1
Only a successful troll would do such a thing ;)
I must admit it is annoying that these are fake, I was hoping that we finally had some sort of REAL indication as to what the Fermi would perform like... but alas some troll has flopped out his powerpoint and fabricated a load of nonsense :(
Indeed :S
Makes you wonder whether they knew it was fake but posted the "news" just to get hits
I find it entertaining the fact that 5h after this was posted, almost 100 replies. :rofl:
Well for April these numbers minus about 10 or 20 percent are expected. I don't believe the TDP for a second though. If the TDP is even close to being true then all the wait would have been worth it. Somehow I really doubt it and as someone else these new GPUs are being optimized for GPU computing.
Whatever said and done it seems Nvidia this round sacrificed some competitiveness to work on a new architecture that will hopefully help out a lot for the next round. ATi took the short term strategy of just refreshing its parts.
If I had anything to say, I'd say that Nvidia chose the right time to make its jump given the current state of the economy anyway. This was a good round to take short term losses in. Besides I like it when a company does something that is forward thinking in a climate where all incentives are for businesses to act for the short term.
In the end it all averages out. I think ATI will need to do a major revamp after the next round of refreshes. I'm sure its already being worked on.
I was and still expecting that. I think 5870 drivers are still too early and not enough optimizations have been made. Eventually I think 5870 will surpass HD 4890 CF performance but that will take time. Just look at GTX 280 when it was first released. In real world gaming tests by [H] at first it had trouble delivering better performance then 9800GX2 in Crysis. Nowadays GTX 280 is notably ahead.
Hahaha...successful troll is successful.
If it was real it would be like the former slides, i.e. %5 difference in FPS accounts for %50 difference in the bar lengths :D
IF anyone is honestly going to believe that nVidia is being legit about this you're lieing to yourself.
We're talking about the same company who tells you that the 8800 GT, 9800 GT and GTX 250 are entirely different cards.:rolleyes:
