Nvidia GT300 yields are under 2%

[LiquidReactor]

When has ANY generation been a legitimate 3x faster than the previous gen's refresh card? Even 2X is more the exception than the norm

G92 9800GTX ---> G200 GTX 280 is like a 3x speed increase.

Just run Crysis and set everything to enthusiast at 1920x1200, G92 tri sli will crumble in face of GTX 280. Oh wait, lets make it a bit more fair and use an overclocked 280 version, maybe Evga FTW or BFG OCXE? Since 9800GTX was nothing more then an overclocked 8800 GTS 512 anyways

Honestly its really hard to compare performance of cards of different generations. Also how do you compare SLI / CF setups vs next gen single cards? There is always perfromance loss due to software overhead of SLI/CF so you will rarily experience the setups true potential. Do you use games or benchmarks or just go by pure theoretical performance numbers (flops etc). So just by specs alone I can confidently say that G300 will pull ahead of 285 SLI set up easy because of the 2x of shaders and boostage in bandwith and core clocks.

Also rv870 (5870) is more 2.26~2.3 faster then rv770 (4870) mostly due to clock bumps. If anything 5870 is like perfect HD 4890 crossfire.

The most recent number I have heard from a solid source is larger than G200.

G200 B2 or B3? Because if its bigger then the 65nm B2....mother of god.

I wonder if nvidia looked at the rv770 vs g200 debacle the same way as most of us did. I think what Nvidia really took home was not that they made G200 way too big but that they DID NOT make it BIG ENOUGH thus failing to create a significant performance lead over rv770. I guess the way Nvidia thinks is that if they can make a gpu so powerful that the competition can barely compare the consumer will care less about the technicalities.
