FERMI Benchmarked?

[NapalmV5]

If we take into account actual product launches who needed what to compete?

This time Nvidia is really late and I imagine they will feel the breath of both ATI HD 5890/5990 and HD 6000 on their necks.

so amd didnt need the 5000 series to compete ? lol

nvidia needs fermi.. then amd needs the next gen and so forth.. nothing new.. repeating history

The architecture is indeed an unknown variable in this game called graphic-card-industry. Still, seeing and believing NVIDIA thinks the future is HPC I'm not all that optimistic about Fermi's gaming performance. Who knows how many transistors are there for solely for HPC and GPGPU?



Depending on Fermi's performance. But we don't know much about the 6k-series either, only that AMD/ATI said RV870 will be the last GPU based on R600's architecture. The 6k-series might be "late" to the party as well.

Who knows? Only god (or one of your gods ; if there are gods).

lol what you guys think those shaders do ? they just sit around and wait for direct computing when gaming ? just because the gpu is multi purpose dont mean it sux @ gaming or its not a gaming gpu


look those of you that have the 5000 series enjoyem while you can.. cometh fermi enjoy lower prices from amd.. rejoice that amd will work hard @ their next gen

whose the loser here ?? amd/nivida make $.. we all enjoy new graphics.. win win for all
