[josiahsuarez]

So...any more news on when Fermi will actually hit the market?

current rumors are March 2010

[mibo]

They already got TWO working Fermis :-)

OOohh, seems like they are getting somewhere with this!

now if they times that by 10,000 we will be fine

[R101]

Yess! Now we can play Duke Nukem Forever in SLI!!

[N19h7m4r3]

Ah lads come on!

It's not so bad.

I for one want fermi out and working asap!

We need some compitition. Yes the current situation is good for AMD but more options is always good.

Now bring on the reviews NV!

[Blacky]

/yawn I guess we wouldn't see relevant news about Fermi until next year

[Piotrsama]

Is that Fermi? I don't know.
All I see is a guy with an Apple t-shirt hugging a PC.

good point.

for all we know "G100" could be the super duper amazing 112SP 40nm DX10.1 chip everybodys' been waiting for.

But, if it really is Fermi, and it really IS working in SLI, then it is very very good news. This means much of single GPU verification/testing was done and already have fixes for major 3D bugs. In other words, chips and boards are working good.

Then again, it could be 2 "prototype" mockup boards pretending to be powered. Heck, I might just pull some Voodoo2 boards to show MY triple SLI i7 power rig.

Its all in the drivers.

lol his thumb barely rises

The physx demos I saw at Nvidia made my jaw drop...and that was just the rip if the iceberg. Some uber cool stuff around the corner (hope AMD and Nvidia keep pushing eachother...we, as enthusiasts, reap the benefits). There is so much power in GPUs way beyond gaming.

^talking about that box of water? that was pretty sick.

I know what you are talking about but this is a totally different demo using MORE than one Nvidia technology INSANE stuff. The future of gaming is bright

[Piotrsama]

Tech demos are one thing and real games (or applications) are other very different.
We can equate demos to those PR screen shots that developers show us during development to hype their games.... but are more BS than anything.

[Your_Boss]

Yeah, and each card is probably about $800USD...maybe there the $3000 versions of Fermi, who knows? haha .."Anouncement!, Crysis finally mastered for $6000.00" LOLZ

I am sorry but I disagree. When I as shown the demo I did not accept the proposal at face value (I am a former software engineer). The first thing I did was to check out the CPU utilization and monitor it during the demo . . . .and verified the demo verified the claims being made. There is no reason applications cannot be coded to take advantage . . . .of course that is up to the application developers. I do understand your skepticism though.

"GeForce GTX 380 will be 15% faster than dual GPU Radeon HD 5970."
"In terms of performance GTX 360 will sit between HD 5870 and dual GPU HD 5970."

Words on MSRP for GTX 380 is $499 and GTX 360 is $379, if that's true then count me in.

Exactly, like Wikipedia often says: "Citation needed"!

"In terms of performance GTX 360 will sit between HD 5870 and dual GPU HD 5970."

I call it BS.

I think the source is some anonymous comment over at BSN.

Scroll down a bit.

If any of that proves to be true things are definitely going to be interesting. While this peaks my interests I'm still waiting for some solid numbers.
