The official GT300/Fermi Thread

thats just pure denial. you can get an approximation of performance based on all of the whitepapers and specs that have been released. no one said anything about "mind blowing performance". its fairly obvious that it will beat the 5870 even if its only 60% faster. thats based from the increase in bandwidth.

mate it wont beat it by 60% i promise you.

I kno you want them to do well for w/e reasons.. but seriously dont over-hype will end up being dissapointed.. theres a reason nvidia isnt going on about game performance and thats got me worried (and should do to you also.)


(next bit not aimed at you)

just they keep going on about all this stupid precision stuff theyve improved.. its a graphics card.. people want it for games.. im sorry thats the market they cater for.. going off trying to do a different thing is a bit stupid.. sure by all means go for physx.. thats fine.. just I believe they are forgetting the core market... which is lame....

I wish Nvidia would stop trying to be Intel or AMD and just concentrate on gaming... Jen-Hsun Huang is delusional in thinking Nvidia has that much clout. They need to stick with their CORE BUSINESS, CUDA doesn't matter to 99.9% of the populace!

But Nvidia has hung their entire business hat on it's acceptance, dumb!

completley agree seeming there market is gamers.. im not sure people are like WOW I WANT THAT ... just to encode a movie in 10 mins as apposed to 20 .. im sorry people may use it and be like oh this is cool... but its hardly a defining feature come on nvidia.. lets see something good from you again like the 8 series cut the crap with this double floating point performance poop..

ATI now has AMD. What does that mean? x86 license. Intel will soon have Larrabee, and obviously x86.

Nvidia? No x86.

Intel and AMD now both have plans to integrate GPUs on the CPU die.

See a problem here? Nvidia has to get a foothold in the CPU market somehow and they only way that will happen is with GPGPU. And since they will need to rely on it much more heavily than ATI, it is a lot better.

Many developers want to use CUDA except their applications require ECC, which GT200 lacks. Fermi fixes that and many other problems, and dramatically increases double precision performance.

I completley agree.. but at the end of the day.. it CANT be a replacement for cpu.. and i feel there going to fall flat on their face in the long run :/ you say all this stuff but think when its ACTUALLY useful say a few years time.. amd will have "apu" (gpu) on their cpu die suposedley and im sure intel will have come up with something allowise they will loose a lot of laptop/netop market imo (if it's implemented well) I just can see the performance nvidia COULD bring to the table... but I just think it will be a hassel for unless they put a lot of money in and i think it'll end up being a money sink...

the end of the day we WONT have decent high end graphics solutions on a cpu, unless something new comes along i mean now where are close to 300w on gpu's slap that in a cpu people will just call you a tard etc...

I dunno I think nvidia will always have an awesome share of the graphics market.. but not if they go venturing on this little crusade cos imo' until they get a x86 liscence.. its just going to waste money :/

(if you believe different please say, you probably noticed.. or not... ill listen to your opinon and happily correct myself or you if theres proof or you convince me etc.. )
