I really like how you are all convinced that nVidia are a long way off releasing their DirectX11 GPU and that ATi will release in September.
IMHO ATi might be before nVidia......but only by a matter of weeks.. 1 month at most. ATi will arrive in late October/Early November, nVidia will arrive Mid November/Early December.
Stock shortages for BOTH vendors will persist until Mid Jan 2010.

Stop looking at the walls, look out the window
The thing is that everyone's claims that ATI will beat NVIDIA to market by quite a bit are at least substantiated by a number of rumours, and we've seen working silicon from ATI. If NVIDIA is only a matter of weeks behind, I'd bet my life savings that they'd have at least gotten a few reporters together behind closed doors to show something.Originally Posted by JohnZS

AMD said they will have cards out BY Windows 7 launch.
Nvidia had to side-step any sort of statement.
I am more amused by you, and some others, being convinced that this ~480mm2 40nm chip is more than on-schedule.
Less than a week ago, CJ confirmed that G300 hasn't been taped-out for a long time.

I suggest you ask NVIDIA that question. Obviously they didn't feel it was important enough, and I'm inclined to agree.
Four months after RV870 is my guess. Are we not allowed to speculate?

No, go right ahead. I am all for speculation, that is my forte.
I just have to disagree with what you were speculating.
IMO, 4 months after RV870 would be a best case scenario, i.e. everything goes smoothly here on out.

Gentlemen,
All I am saying is that.... remember a certain "Can O' Whoop Ass" comment which was uttered by a certain "Founder and CEO" prior to the GT200 launch?
Now... didn't that can explode into the face of the CEO who said that he would open this?
Wouldn't it be wise to assume that he would have learned from his lesson this time around, and instead will act differently and instead go for tactics of "Shock and Awe"
We have a saying here that "Empty barrels make the most noise, but those full of bounty do not.."
ATi, could either fail to impress (HD2900/3800) OR "do a G80", we just do not know...

You thread crap everywhere about how you can't buy ATI cards in the uk.
I've now bought my 40th ati 5 series card.
10 of which in the first two weeks of launch.

Jesus, what do you need so many cards for?!
Donate to XS forums
I'm interested as well. Are we talking about e-peen here? Folding farm? Building for others/customers?Jesus, what do you need so many cards for?!

Supply picked up just in time for the Xmas rush. The cynic in me says that was the plan all along. There's no longer a shortage and hasn't been since mid-late December. So that's hardly an excuse for the lack of a Fermi release date.
ATi has the GPU features, performance and value sewn up to the point that very few new builds currently have nvidia GPUs (unless they're on a bottom feeder motherboard). We're over half way through Q1 2010 and still no Ferming up. nVidia are looking increasingly impotent.

Used to head up a small business as the online sales director.
That is 10 times the cards i have lol, i do milkyway@home 24/7 what do you do.
I got 2 cards at launch for my brothers and the rest went to the companies systems so we could play some team fortress 2 at work
The job was automated by me and quite easy for my team so I told the business owner that we work best when relaxing and the sales figures were always getting strengthened so he was cool about our relaxed attitude
