add another week to the wait. This is truly a company thats needs a good slap
Aw man, not again...
Never trust Fruitzilla! That's all I'm gonna say about this...
Why do we suddenly need another thread for this?
another delay o_O I can hardly resist screaming out viva la 5870 :D nvidia looses potential buyers every day I would say...and thoose preview benches which I have seen recently wouldn't stop me from buying 5870 if I would be a gamer...but I am not a gamer so I wait until I can bench this piece :p:
I think we should start a new "Fermi part <InsertNumberHere>" thread each time it's delayed in this fashion! :lol:
Its not really delayed, I know because I have one.
It just disapeared when I woke up in the morning, but I swear I'll get it back and benchmark it tonight.
"This company needs a slap".
Wow. How old are you ? :D
Is anybody forcing you to wait for Fermi ? Not selling Radeon cards to you ?
No.
They will release the cards when they want to.
And you can do nothing about it. Whether you like it or not.
Want to slap them ? Don't buy a card, buy a Radeon.
man, hitler is not going to be pleased with this news.
Geforce is not their main objective goal this time around but even the gpu-cpu parts are delayed :(
WHat Nvidia is letting out is a half baked cake and yes while its partly tsmc's fault they should really think about their "make largest chip policy"
Do any of you remember a tulipgtx in anand tech forum boy she had inside details she said it first that Nvidia will design big chips and then cut down. But the people there because angry that she leaked info that they ultimately drove her off anandtech :(
I wasn't expecting availability until June anyway.
I made a big mistake selling my 2nd 5870. I thought Fermi, a.k.a DelayForce GTFOH 590, will arrive in Feb and will kick ass. But this is BS...damn you reNamedia! The way it's ment to be delayed"
yet another week... or is this the same yet another week delay from last week?
man im getting deja vus of fermi being delayed "only one more week" :lol:
Ya that screen was total BS but other info she provided was not bad. She said that top GT200 will have 240 shaders and she was spot on and the bit about nvidia focus on a big chip was true and still is.
I remember how people started abusing her online and then she posted the screen shot that did not make any sense.... It was more like she wanted to give the finger or something lol my username on anandtech is the same and i asked her for some explanation but she did not replay. :shrug:
Check the old posts andd see how the form members became all hostile and kept on sayin "...bite your owners hand... etc" lol i mean come on if you have a source you should try and get some info....
Great, more bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:, I mean WTF NVIDIA, you made so many people wait for a lousy 6 months and I don't think that was worth it. It didn't take ATI that long and back then you guys were the king of the hill for years and now they got slack.
Fermi has been taking so long, you could write an entire Novel about the chain of events that occurred from 1 year ago till now :p:
Hahaha you so made my morning :ROTF:

:idea: We seriously need a :facepalm: smiley.
wat the..delayed again?..tsk3x..
I don't care about immediate availability, just give us the numbers!
Numbers will come as scheduled ;)
The never ending saga from nvidia. Hope we'll see some real numbers tomorrow.
^^^^^^
:rofl: At least NDA is ending tomorrow.:shrug:
It's not delayed, this is some "low availability" FACT which has somehow spiraled into a delay.
Seriously i don't know whether people make this up for the lulz, to troll or just to look as though "they are someone in the loop".
for now i'd rather see numbers...i don't care for the delay, i just want to know if it's worth the wait ^^
I approve this delay :rofl:
:rofl:
Can't wait, I'll go check youtube for a video!
Edit: ROFL, I guess this is the most up to date one

So do these guys:

That's BS, a local store is receiving them TODAY or tomorrow, so... Meh.
allright, ive got to ask, what tv show is that from ??
delay? what delay? i'm already enjoying my gtc 480 with my fresh copy of duke nukem forever. let me tell you something, this thing can run gt 5 at over 1,000 fps flawlessly. btw, i got them in crossfire on my evga sr2 with two 980x and 24gigs of ddr3 and 1Tb of ocz vertex 2. one drawback though, my rig can't run crysis at a decent 30fps :(.
Taking bets on another delay before the 12th. Then another, then another, AND ANOTHER! Until summer time :rofl:
This^
Because if the numbers don't look good, I'll pull the trig on a 5870. The only thing that matters to me is lowest frame rates in Bad Company 2 @ 1920 X 1200, everything on.
Which ever has the better performance gets ordered. But again... my criteria isn't max FPS, but min.
Wut!? Furmee Deelaid? DATS UNPOSSIBLE! :eek:
5870/5970 is looking to be as good of a buy as the 8800gtx was. Price is steady so waiting has not helped anyone and performance is going to be top till ATI releases a better card.
With so many delays,AMD will probably have already released series 6xxx and fermi will still be getting delays :rofl:
OMG OMG OMG. I was laughing, rolling, crying on this... I fell down my chair, than i tried to get up and i fell again LMFAO.... :ROTF::ROTF::ROTF::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
"60% my ass!!! Fermi can't even render my :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing balls !!!" - ahaha..
Well, I'm glad i bought my 5850 just after launch :)
Nvidia is going through a 2900 phase, ATI an 8800 phase. Funny how the tables turn :)
1 more week delay .... so, what's the delayed date, April 2nd? or 1st?
i hope Nvidia is not going ahead for their yearly April jokes, that ain't funny anymore
Was going to say there's already a Fermi thread but after skimming over the retarded comments it is best to leave this one alone and lock it up.
posting this again, and for every delay that comes after lol.

My criteria is a graph that shows the fps during the benchmark. You're not going to mind much about a 10 fps min that lasts for a split second, and only at one particular occurrence, compared to a 20 fps min that lasts for like 10-30 seconds or more.
Don't you guys mean average fps instead of max fps?
Vegas News update……….the odds of "Duke Nukem Forever" coming out before Fermi has improved a 100% :ROTF:
True that type of benchmark is usually the best, but most places don't put up the video tests.
Also I personally know people that swear by Max fps, which I just find weird.
The same applies for Avg fps, i'd rather have a card that spits out decent and consistant min fps that one that' Max i very high, but min dips far to low to often.
entirely true, but, and before i say this im not one of those people that swear on max fps, but, usually, and im not saying even close to all the time, the card with the higher max (or max average) fps, usually does well with minimum as well, maybe 60/40, still buying based on minimum average is the way to go.
I wish every GFX card review, had a minimum average, an average, and a maximum average.
minimum/maximum average meaning, when it dips, or raises, how long, and how often.
i guess thats what the average is judging, but a massive number for a small time, can manipulate that, and vice versa.
I want details dangit!
NVidia delays the delayed...
Why is this news...? :lol:
That's classic. Again enjoying my 5870's ... gonna go get a full cover block for my birthday. my wife already approved cause I'm not spending 500 on a new card (again lol) !! :party: I game with 3 monitors and while games are playable on high 3840x1024, the frame do dip into the 20's sometimes so I think the FC block will be a better investment than another 5870. Forget about nvidia, they have their heads up their **** ever since the 8800GTX :up:
the rest of the life of nvidia:
nvidia:Fermi release date announcement! yay!
AMD/ATI:ATI release date for new card and numbers months before!
Nvidia: dangit, delay! back to the drawing board to match it....
ATI: benches released owned!
Nvidia: oh crap, we were so close with Fermi V6.0
ATI: new series card available, it rocks DX12 and ray tracing in games.
Nvidia: dangit, we can still only do NV bench ray tracing, drawing board again...
Nvidia: wait, we cant go to the drawing board, we are out of money, its been 4 years and we havent released a card, wasnt even paying attention guys but we are bankrupt by midnight tomorrow. OOPS!!
yep, that's the reason i really like the ingame benchmark from FEAR, which not only shows min, avg and max fps, but also the fps distribution: percentage of frames below 25fps, between 25 and 40fps and above 40fps. which gives you a pretty good picture of how the game actually runs.
if not the reviewers do collect that data, well, then make every game have such an ingame benchmark so that reviewers can just copy&paste these results :p:
http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/02/...gtx480-scores/Quote:
If you give the GTX480 to honest journalists, they will likely say that the two cards, the GTX480 and the HD5870, show equivalent performance, so we hear Nvidia is doing its best to keep the GTX480 out of the hands of the honest. This means that only journalists who are known to follow the "reviewer's guide" closely, are willing to downplay the negatives, and will hit the important bullet points provided by Nvidia PR will be the ones most likely to gain early access to these cards. If this sounds unethical to you, it is, and it's not the first time. This is exactly what Nvidia did to cut Anand, Kyle and several others out of the GTS250 at launch. That worked out so well the last time that Nvidia will probably try it again. Expect fireworks when some people realize that they have been cut out for telling the truth.
The end result is that the GTX480 is simply not fast enough to deliver a resounding win in anything but the most contrived benchmark scenarios. It is well within range of a mildly upclocked HD5870, which is something that ATI can do pretty much on a whim. The GTX480 can barely beat the second fastest ATI card, and it doesn't have a chance at the top.
Last two paragraphs are the main reason I haven't bought nVIDIA since my $700 8800GTX ultra. :shakes: Dishonest company is dishonest. :yepp:
yeah im pretty much done with nvidia. Unless 480GTX trumps ATI's 5 series (and it wont) I am out of the green game. been an nvidia fan for a long time, its about time for 2x5870s after Fermi releases. Now im not leaving the green team cause I hate them, or their lies, or the renaming, or wood screws, or Jen, or delays, or announcements, or announcements of delays of announcements, its just because they have nothing to offer really lately. 2x5870s should do it for me. Bye bye Nvidia, ill miss you, well not you, I will your drivers (sort of) and your green and black colors ( i freaking hate red) and your gloating, cause lets face it, gloating just owns, but you have nothing now, see ya, and go fly kite.......with an announcement of a delay on it.
My thoughts exactly and why i went the 5970 way. It was time for a change for me anyway, had nvidia on my main rig ever since the 6800GT.
If this continues, we'll have Fermi competing against Northern Islands :p:
If NVIDIA keeps this BS up Fermi will end up like "Duke Nukem Forever", I mean seriously, WTF. These guys had 6 months to prepare and they announced it has been delayed for whatever reason.
You know what would be really awesome ? If it was actually released with a free copy of Duke Nukem Forever. :D
good news! you didn't have to wait long... well not as long as for the actual product to come out...

There was also a clip with him getting angry about the delayed announcement few months back but i cant find it anymore.
