Certainly, progress is good from either company. But we should still be realistic about how likely a given level of progress is.

THIS :yepp:
maybe you were only focusing on that point of the post rather than what the whole post meant. being that you quoted just that sentence.
It means if true, 5000 series will drop heavily in price second hand, making them cheap "monster" performing cards. which is obviously a good thing.
One could only dream this was true. Imagine getting GTX295 performance for under $300, or even $200 depending on how aggressive Nvidia prices their cards? It would be madness! And a great benefit to EVERYONE as it will truly open up PC gaming to much MUCH more people.
Then again.. sadly, this is a fake slide :(
obviously, waterblock. Duhhhh;)
lol on the second part.
the 5870s fan profile is the problem.
You guys know you can adjust the default fan speed on the the stock coolers right? I use MSI afterburner's default profile manual control profile The gpus at the 5970 idle around 34C and load they not go beyond 70C. I even ran my 285s at above stock fan speed. Under load they required 100%, the the gpu temps on those were 80C-85C. It's too bad Nvidia likes to stick with crappy fans on their coolers. I'm not even going to talk about them still using aluminum :shakes:
Why are you skeptical of its legitimacy? There is nothing to be a skeptic about. There is nothing about these slides that could cause even the slightest doubt that they are fake. They are simply a more official-looking remake of the 1920x1200 data in the THG graphs (well the Far Cry one is) which as I have said more than once on several forums are completely fake as well.
i think every benchmark on the new cards are rubbish anyway even if they are true. for me i think its all down to how they perform in DX11 especially as i will be upgrading when all new games will be DX11. wait till DX11 beenchmarks are out then we'll see who really has the monster cards. end of thread!:cool:
successful_troll is laughing his ass off
well this may be fake but i would expect that kind of numbers from fermi, i mean what less for 512 shaders , thats more than 2x GT285
5970 and 5870 numbers dont seem genuine, c'mon GTX360 matching 5970 is blasphemy :p:
Look what Cartman crapped...
