Obr hahaha that guy again lol
Why can't both sets of rumours be right? Something in Feb and something in Apr. The big question for me is availability. If the 7970 can barely stay in stock at $549 what are the odds that a GTX6xx part from nVidia won't sell out in days assuming lower pricing? It would make more sense for nVidia to follow suit with a $500+ card in February to limit demand but rumours so far point to GK104 launching first.
/shrug
Because one does not simply launch a product right after Chinese New-year?Quote:

I believe the first chip to be released, the GK104 has always been planned for around february, depending on source they've just spoken end of january or even march but yea around that and that the big chip would come later on. I don't see any new rumors here, just misinterpretion of what's already out there. I don't think there's any reason to delay GK104 which won't beat HD 7970 but will still be a nice offering in its price class, ~$400. I could really do with more VRAM than my current 1GB so 2GB sounds appealing to me right now as my 1GB keeps getting maxed out in Skyrim but not really keen on spending more than 250 EUR on a gfx card today though with the PC gaming coming 2nd hand so will probably have to wait for something more reasonable.
that 3dmark11 run seems to be fake.. if you dont have a TN panel you should have seen already :D

Hard or soft they better say something soon. The BS meter is off the charts already.
CPU-Z ID is from end november, something like that, ID-211**** too
NV needs to launch because of rumors on teh interwebs?Quote:

Obviously not the P score since the author said that GT1 and GT3 were bugged. That would be stupid. Look at GT2 and GT4 instead.Quote:

Slightly slower than on Chiphell's screenshot.

But since it's fake it's irrelevant, anyway.
You kids *may* all be too naive :)

Did the author make all the effort only to paste something for you to play with the curve? Isn't pressing "Del" faster than pasting something there? The author claims he cannot say too much about it, otherwise may lose job if taken to legal ground. Who knows.
Not from a manufacturing/logistics point of view.Quote:

Do not underestimate the inertial forces of a Chinese new-year.
Not necessarily when it comes to leaks. However, I also doubt the February hard launch part. Seems a bit too early. April makes more sense, it's a few months after New Year and Ivy Bridge is coming around the same time as well.Quote:
