PS. Yeah, GF100 has 512 CC, and GPUs are in massproduction now, plenty of manufacturers have first GF100 inhouse.
nVidia did it!? What... 'cause I dont see anything in stores yet.

Also, I'm sure you love playing Unigine for many hours, but its not the type of game most people play. Performance in benchmarks can be misleading and quite different between a variety of games.

R600 used more power (and had more bandwidth) than G80. Are you suggesting 8800GTX users were stupid, and that X2900XT was faster?

Likewise, the nVidia fx 5800 Ultra used a lot of power too. Performance was good as long as it was DX8. In contrast, the fx DX9 performance was spectacularly miserable at best. Anybody here remember the poor rendering quality and low performance?

High power usage just means better home heating.
