HPCwire video from Nvidia booth at SC09. There are shots of fermi.

More shots of Fermi Tesla at 17. The shot at 19sec is the older tesla card. I am starting to think they did not have a Fermi Tesla running in any machine.

Nice on Warboy

Because daring to criticize the government is being unpatriotic and sympathetic to terrorism...right?!?

If nVIDIA is guilty so is AMD/ATi ( I don't remember ATi saying "The R600 sucks, the 8800GTX rulezzz ) [ I do remember "the r600 kicks ass" though ]

Every manufacturer claims that his product is superior, with higher performance and quality, innovations and blah blah, lies to the consumers every now and then, yet again all I see is nVIDIA & Intel bashing...

With all due respect there is a difference between out right bashing and slander and just plain hard ball questions / doubts.

Am I outright bashing Nvidia? No.

Just wondering what's going on and posting my opinion on the matter which you are welcome to completely disregard since you appear to know a lot more then me on the subject.

[eleeter]

By the way, there's only 1 person on this planet who can really tell us what's going on and if what we see in that picture is what is real.
That's Walter Bishop ( Fringe )

This is boring, there are no bodies here.

On a serious note i wish Nvidia would get these out already. The GPU market is in need of some competition to drive prices down. All 5-series cards are overpriced if you take into account what 4-series cards cost 6 months ago.

They can't, if they did Fermi's would cost $1000's a piece and there would be maybe one or two per retailer.

not really, you get more performance, displayport, lower idle power and eyefinity which makes up for the extra $ you pay them

Less performance you mean. 5770 is slower than a 4870 but also more expensive. Just about the only useful feature to me from those you mentioned is lower idle power consumption

nope, more performance, the 5770 is on it's second generation of consumer drivers, give it some time to catch up, the 4870 must be on at least its 10th set of drivers and they've had a year to be worked on.

5770 is never going to overcome its bandwith handicap with driver fixes...some games just really love the bandwidth and 5770 is going to get trashed by 4870/4890 regardless of newer/better driver fixes.

It doesn't make any sense to compare prices on new product with a product which is EOL and about 17 months on the market.
The HD 4870 with only 512MB GDDR5 was introduced at $299 US and that was great price compared to NVIDIA products at that time.
The MSRP for the HD 5770 is $159 US, great deal if the performance is anywhere close to HD 4870.

[saaya]

Are you kidding? If true then I = #fail and I will never ever believe anything NVIDIA said again. That would mean our conspiracy fellows were right

So even the Fermis at the HPC-fair aren't working?!

even if it's bs, then how can you blame nvidia for it?
what did NVIDIA say? soooome person posted sooome picture on facebook...

hahaha nice1

Wow, is this thread about a single random image with no proof still going?

hahaha yeah, isn't that funny

[kadozer]

I think the joke is on us all. We've all been feeding Nvidia with these monster threads from 1 pic

We heard word a short while ago from our contacts in the Far East that Fermi may very well be delayed even longer than the initial launch estimate in January. We reported last week that the goal for nVidia was to launch the product on some level at CES with reviewer kits to go out shortly afterwards. Our sources tell us today that the Fermi Build Kits were meant to go to AIBs last week but nVidia has missed this time frame. They also told us that "Gemini" is meant to be the code name for the new dual GPU Fermi card although nVidia are not confirming this.

Going on this and other inside information passed to us at the weekend it appears that the initial launch date in January may very well be pushed back until March or possibly even early April. Giving solid dates for the launch is going to be hard as nVidia seem to be running into more issues every week.

Ok, guys now you've got till April to save those pennies.

^ Lets hope a miracle happens and that doesn't come true!

we've known it would be March at the absolute earliest for a few weeks now, it's only news that journalists have posted article's on it.

Here is the correct link for the [H]ard|OCP news.
Kyle was already speculating about the Fermi In Q1/Q2 in the forum, 10-02-2009 post.

I already saved all the pennies for the HD 5970, hope the Fermi is not going to be on store shelf first.

[trinibwoy]

Rys throws down with some serious speculation (supposedly seasoned with a little insider info).

http://techreport.com/articles.x/17815/1

It's a bit long but a good read and sums up a lot of the speculation so far plus a few new tidbits.

[Manicdan]

yay for breaking 200GB/s finally, should have happened a while ago.

[Florinmocanu]

Since they made the comparison at the end between Fermi and the 5870, beating the 5870 (which i can agree with), i cannot understand why they didn't say that it will probably have lower performance than the 5970.

[flopper]

Isnt ati having the next generation out soon?

and can fermi do 1ghz?
If it cant, why get it?
I rather have a 1ghz card than a 650mhz one.

What would be the point of that. They could then say the dual-Fermi card will be faster than 5970 etc, etc.

[Florinmocanu]

dual Fermi was not officially announced, not even rumoured, while the 5970 is already on the market and it will probably be the direct competitor to Fermi in it's price area. So a fair comparison should include the 5970 as well, even if it is a dual gpu.

In the same way, people compared the 5870 with GTX 295, so Fermi vs 5970 is a valid comparison as well.

at 200-220W as the real TDP for Fermi, we can all kind of agree it is unrealistic to have a fully fledged Fermi X2 in the works. Probably at a 32-28nm shrink.
