Because Nvidia is deliberately allowing this information to leak out for hype purposes. Their card does better at 2560x1600 and high AA due to the VRAM advantage. It is very very likely that the 470 does worse at 1920x1200 8X aa or less. They want the card shown in the best light possible leading up to its launch. I don't see the point though as when NDA expires and the full story is out they'll be caught. Although NDA is still up, I am quite sure that their is a good reason we have only seen 2650x1600 high AA comparisons so far.Quote:

better min frames again. GTX 480 should be around 14% faster with full 512 shaders. Perhaps lightly higher clocks but i think <700 Mhz.
Im sure we'll see the GTX 480 around 15% over the HD5870 / GTX 470. But like in past, some more stable framerates than on ATI cards. Min frames seem to be a bit better. Perhaps in new games with DX11 we'll se a tresselation advantage of the GF100. Does anybody knew if the two tresselation components on one HD5970 can work together?
It's tesselation
And GTX 480 apparently only has 480 sp's now
i dont think tdp is whats holding their imc and memory clocks down...Quote:

unless nvidia has problems with the imc or pcb, im sure they will clock their 470s at least at 1ghz, ie 4ghz effective, if not higher... thats a 15% memory bandwidth perf boost and will make them shine even more in high res with high AA, and should give them at least a 5% boost at lower resolutions as well.
a 5970 scores much higher in unigen heaven, so my guess is yes? :DQuote:

Obviously that means that the tesselation engine of both GPU's (as any other component of the GPU) will be working in parallel to the other, one on the frame n, and the other in the frame n+1.
Same performance of course. Having the same bandwidth doesn't tell you anything. And there is no correct answer until we see hard numbers which is why I was asking why you think they need higher memory clocks. Maybe 160GB/s is more than enough. At least it's way higher than the previously rumoured 128GB/s.Quote:

Why is written GTX 480 in shadow? :D
god thats so lame

Nothing is released to public yet, either the GPU or the box :p:, some PR-hungry people leaks these unfinished products. They will fix it by the time of release.
Consider it as a beta-box. :p:
seems it will take some time for fermis box to get its true reflection. so don't be suprised when you go home put your gtx 470 on table and see reflection of gtx 295 :P
C'mon guys, spend more than 1 second looking at these pics and you'll see they're probably both photoshops.Quote:

The card, "Fermi"? That's pre-codename, even the codename is GF100 - they've never written codenames on the product before.
Considering the Tesla versions will have between 3GB and 6GB of GDDR5, I don't think the memory controller is anywhere near an issue. ;)Quote:

15 days means teasers numbering near 30-50 all with a resolution of 2560x1920 or higher. Where possible tessellation will be maxed out otherwise use of ultra high texture will be done to bottle neck the 1GB memory on the 5870/5970 :p:Quote:

However, nVidia needs a good 470 with an attractive price IMHO. If not, things will be well tougher ...
We're talking about clocks speed on the memory, not the amount. If I'm missing something here, you're being too subtle for me.Quote:
