The official GT300/Fermi Thread

[LordEC911]

I doubt it'll be $600, NVidia said they realized they launched the GTX-280 too high and they won't be making that mistake again. I'm thinking probably around $400 at launch, which will put a VERY tight squeeze on ATi.

Of course, that's all theoretical as no one can know for sure how NVidia will price this thing. We'll find out soon enough though. Considering NVidia is aiming to market for tesla, where the profit margins are much higher, they can afford lower prices on the desktop cards and make the difference off tesla kits. Just a little something to keep in mind.

Really? You think they will be pricing it that low when it will easily have a kit cost higher than G200? I am guessing anywhere from $150-$200 each and that's being conservative.

those will only compete at price point. i am suprised to see you not excited about this card. 2 kernels,new ISA and a new mem hierarchy... yay

are you referring to a 28nm shrink?i thought the die was big because they doubled everything.

I am excited to see exactly what they have done with the architecture but from what I have already seen they are dismissing their, original, primary mission of delivering uncompromising gaming performance and are now more focused on marketing and very minor niche markets. While there is much money to be made in the GPGPU market it is a little disappointing to see them chasing it so hard and with little to no regard to their gaming performance. Plus Nvidia's arrogance as a whole is very bewildering and insulting as a consumer.
