AMAZING NEWS: Not many hours left now.

BREAKING NEWS: 5 hours remain to BREAKING NEWS.

[Nightcover]

what? I what it was only 2 hours

[AceBaran]

What excactly is gonna be anounced ?

[annihilat0r]

it's 9am for PST now. So not even 5 hours, 12 hours

[icecpu]

sorry , i'm not following the thread lately, 5 hrs left until what ??

[dengyong]

People have received vacations in the past for playing around with thread tags.

Until more PowerPoint slides from nV

End of the world as we know it and the return of the fallen.
For Ati lovers life will be like Left 4 Dead but with Nvidia fanboys instead of zombies

[jmke]

What excactly is gonna be anounced ?

Fermi whitepaper tech;
no benchmarks yet

i never got what all the fuss with the glasses was about tbh...
there are very well designed glasses that arent bothersome at all...

There actually are many serious drawbacks of 3D shutter glasses. First of all, they reduce the contrast/brightness of the monitor, and they can affect color accuracy.

Secondly, "crosstalk" might be an issue when your screen doesn't response fast enough. Crosstalk happens when the pixels don't switch fast enough, so your right eye sees residue images of the left eye; and vice versa. In order to minimize crosstalk, a very fast panel is required, so 3D monitors today have to use TN panel out of necessity.

Thirdly, shutter glasses work by rapidly blocking your eyes. So ambient light gets blocked repeatedly which can cause a "flickering ambient light" problem. It's best if you use 3D shutter glasses in a very dark environment to minimize this.

Fourthly, your left and right eye never really see an image together; but they alternatively see an image for each eye. I suspect that this is the reason why 3D shutter glasses give me a headache in any fast moving scene. For this reason alone, I refuse to use 3D shutter glasses. Only polarized glasses are comfortable for me to use.


So, I'd wait until 3D polarized monitors to show up (no idea how they can technically do this though). 3D shutter glasses are deal-breaker for me.

Design Article releases tomorrow 7PM CST with complete Whitepaper info.

New Features, new cache, new Memory setup, and yes it's about 100% performance increase over GTX-2xx so figure single GTX-285 vs 5870 then double the GTX-285 performance.

Then it handles triangles different, triangles on any given frame can number in the hundreds of thousands so that's very important.

It will fold a lot better.

Increased efficiency in several areas.

It's a revolutionary new design oriented toward tessellation (those pesky triangles) and geometric programming. Problem being every wire frame is made up of triangles, tessellation takes those triangle and breaks them down into many smaller triangles. This core is uniquely designed to handle that so geometric and shader heavy games you will see more than the 100% raw power increase.

520USD might handle it. At 2x GTX-285 performance that puts it above GTX-295 performance and it's DX11 ready and designed for that specifically. Current ATI offerings are really good but basically a double the hardware on the same core design to provide more raw power. GF100 is a core design to take advantage of what the industry needs today and for some time in the future.

Read the article tomorro cause that's about all I can say tonight.

omg sound great!

Oh dear, now where's my anti-fanboy spray?

Edit: those are some weird tags

[Jamesrt2004]

hmm sounds interesting.... really just want a respected site to review it though...

[Tim]

Very impressive, sounds worthy of the wait.

[Redsand426]

Yay now we'll be able to play Crysis as smooth as half life.

[GoldenTiger]

Nice info's!

[eric66]

meh didn't saw that 100 performance increase in fc 2 bench sounds like marketing bs

Thought they claimed that it is a 360GTX in the video

Farcry 2 bench = GF100 = GTX 360

As far as I know

[trinibwoy]

I suggest Googling for 5870-SIX then...

Was that eye roll supposed to answer the question? Surely you don't think performance leadership can be countered by something so utterly impractical (hence irrelevant).

[zalbard]

Dude, 5870-SIX has 2 GB of VRAM...

[Manicdan]

i think the 5870six should also be a 1ghz chip. just give it every damn thing possible.
