The name 670 Ti was thrown out there by Nvidia to confuse the competition. Come on, that was easy :)
Why would that confuse competition?
Ask the author, I'm just translating.
When unicorns are involved things get confusing.
Nope. That comparison is decent because it compares the full fledged chip in each instance. If you were to compare a 7950 it wouldn't be as efficient as a 7970, at least surface wise. As it is, they compared every top bin, which is the think to do when comparing chip efficiency based on transistor count / die space.Quote:

Was the mouse attacking the factory? Was it trying to steal a Kepler sample?? I'm really confused!
Gah, of course, I was merely quoting the ridiculousness of the translation. :DQuote:

If Nvidia doesn't make a big Kepler then this round is shaping up to be much like the last where Nvidia leads by 10-15 pct on the flagship. The difference is that unlike Thermi, now they have a very efficient chip much like Amd.
What I am still left guessing is how they achieved such great efficiency, something must have had give. My guess is that GK104 will be inferior in GPGPU computation than Fermi and will lose a lot of its features that are oriented towards the professional segment and stream computing. This chip will probably be geared only for gaming which is likely how they managed to save so much die space and still make a powerful chip.
I don't think they would've done that. Unless they are specifically making a completely different chip for their professional cards...Quote:

Nvidia is very heavily invested in gpgpu, there's now way they will sacrifice in that area especially now with AMD and Intel taking the whole gpgpu more seriously.
Does really peoples buy a GTX580 for professional computing ? or do they buy Tesla quadro ?
Same die, that's what matters.
^^^ the difference??... I am no expert on it, I've only used Quadro cards with my friends doing rendering on Rhino. So I'll let someone else who's well versed on this answer your questions.
They go tesla or quadro for full FP64 support. The geforce line is gimped in FP64 calculations.Quote:

So while the consumer card should be able to do everything the professional cards do without the certification/validation you can't take advantage of some or all of the hardware accelerated features possible for a software package.

Couldn't a simple DeviceID spoofing solve that issue?Quote:

Several others also pointed to this same date. So this maybe it.Quote:

Not really a stop-gap, more like a "That's seriously all you got? Say hello to my little friend... His big brother is going to sit at home and laugh at ya".Quote:
