The GT300/Fermi Thread

Omfg they didnt show Fermi xD Epic Fail

[Mad1723]

jensen: "you can't do a conference by not talking about geforce, nvidia is the geforce company after all. I am happy to tell you that it's in mass production"

That was the only mention of Geforce in the whole conference... looks almost like a last minute thought

What exactly is your point with that chart?
2560x1600 has twice the details as 1080p, and the article supported the benefits of higher resolution which was my point.

Are you lost?

I will need some weeks to understand that awesome amount of data

They showed the card running a benchmark. What more can they show/say without actually getting into launch territory? And we all knew it wasn't launching at CES.

Showing ONE thing that it does that the HD5970 cannot. Like that 3D Vision thing.

Right now, they're just confirming that finally they have HW tessellation; which is honestly rather boring.

[Manicdan]

i think the lack of bragging about fermi is a bit of a sign that they are still figuring some things out. im not watching the feed, so i dont know how much they talked, but from what you guys are saying, its practically nothing.

[eric66]

if there was pic of epic fail i could use it right now they pretty much repeated last conference this time with unfinished product lol

They did show 3D vision, actually a huge chunk of the presentation was all about 3D stuff.

In terms of tessellation, it's a DX11 video card so why were you expecting to see something more than DX11? If they have any new features to brag about they will obviously will keep them close to their chest until launch. CES was not the launch event so they didn't have to show anything at all.

[Tim]

Tim, why are you always so rude to everone, on topic it is great to see fermi finally running, cant wait to see what products we get

Always rude to everyone? I post once or twice a week, and nothing I'm aware of is rude to anyone or everyone. You must mistake me for someone else. Feel free to read through my post history. I might have been direct a long time ago when I was posting regulary, but never utterly disrespectful or rude.

And for the record, I'm not in the slightest being rude, the amount of negatism and trolling on this forum against nVidia is simply appalling. And wether you like it or not, a lot of posts by saaya are negative towards something or the other. If I wanted to be rude, the post would have been a LOT different.

[DarthBeavis]

you guys sound like women fighting over purses.

[FischOderAal]

This keynote was so boring. Where can I get the minutes I lost back? Oh wait, I followed Palm's keynote as well and at least they delivered...

I would have at least expect GTX380-sli or something beating HD-5970. That would've been an awesome move and kicked AMD/ATI in teh balls. But meh... one can dream.

Indeed, I just finished the live blog.
6 million pixel, so I guess 3 1080p monitors? That isn't bad.

But NVIDIA claimed "first Bluray 3D hardware" is rather amusing. They don't even have a product out yet, and the market already has at least one Bluray 3D hardware: PS3

this has tons of discrepancies, but still:

A1 revision was barely working, but it's still over the expected clocks at 720Mhz?

Looks like it's fabricated.

[h0bbes]

Tim you seem to be an nvidia fan so whats wrong with ATI fans? I understand that it is annoying when other people are putting down fermi, a product from which you seem to have great expectations/hope. Anyway as a consumer, i would welcome any sort of competition from nvidia but perhaps due to my inexperience, i am somewhat disappointed since i was expecting more data about fermi.

RLY? Please list the entire hardware setup that lets you watch blue rays movies in 3d using a PS3. Nvidia has the hardware already in place with only blue ray authored DVDs needed to fall into place. I am on a 60" 1080p DLP as I type this . . . Several sets of Nvidia 3d glasses here as well.

This is a kid using my setup at an Intel LAN party

I prefer certain brands to others like any other sane person, but I do have a big problem with people shouting all sorts of abuse at nVidia and that amount adds up to an incredible amount from the ATi fans, which in my humble opinion just gets to the point where it's enough is enough. Yes, Fermi is late, really late, but at least it's coming, and seems to have good performance from reports so far. Everybody knows Fermi is late, but c'mon, some people are really beating up a dead horse.

I was just as glad and had high hopes for ATi's current generation, just like I've got high hopes for Fermi. Nothing wrong with that.

I wanted to see a lot more information too, but if any other launch is anything to go by, proper leaks will soon come, and I'm quite happy to check back in now and then to watch the prelaunch speculation. At the moment, I'm quite happy seeing Fermi running something substantial.

[trinibwoy]

The architecture doesn't allow the core clock to be more that 0.5x the hot clock so those clocks look wrong.

You just need the one and only PS3 to play Bluray 3D, as confirmed by Sony...
How exactly do you play Bluray anyway with NVIDIA?

Nvidia isn't getting flak from just ATI people, there's a pretty general consensus lately due to their marketing tactics, renaming, and fighting over PhysX, CUDA, etc. with others that has gone on for some time, and it's built up when their cards keep seemingly be delayed

There's no need to take it personally at all and get caught up over it. Your best bet is just to sit back and relax and wait..

You're probably right. I'm not here to offend anyone, or to think that I'm being rude, so apologies to anyone who did think my posts as being rude.

How exactly do you play Bluray anyway with NVIDIA?

On a PC equipped with a blue ray drive and an Nvdia GPU with 3d kit . . .
They have had their product out since last CES including short movies in 3d. They DID NOT say they would have a blue ray drive they said they has the first blue rad 3d hardware meaning the ability to handle the hardware and software part displaying 3d stereo images. That has nothing to do with the blue ray medium other than the capacity making it feasible.

[LordEC911]

The Tesla card would use lower spec'ed part, right?

In most cases, Telsa/Quadro cards seem to be higher/tighter bins due to very strict power/cooling/reliability requirements.
