The official GT300/Fermi Thread

[003]

And..?

I'm still correct, CUDA (ie:Fermi's architecture) doesn't matter to 99.9% of the end-user... just to Nvidia, who doesn't have an X86 processor!

3 billion transistors... for Nvidia's business model, not for our gaming pleasure!

You talk as if it will be slow or something. MOST of the transistors come from more than doubling the shaders to 512 from 240, and that alone will bring the biggest performance in games.

GT200 had 240 SPs and 1.4b transistors.

Fermi has 512 SPs and 3.0b transistors.

Guess what? The ratio transistors to SPs on Fermi is virtually the same as GT200. What does that mean?

All the people saying "omg all those transistors are wasted on GPGPU" are freaking morons!!! The GPGPU features on Fermi are at no extra cost to gamers, and game performance is not sacrificed.
