What question did you ask and what was the answer ?

I asked if Fermi was developed around the GPGPU application in Windows 7, or if Fermi was already developed around the GPGPU mindset before GPGPU apps became known to the public.

The answer was that Fermi was designed very closely with Microsoft and most definitely Windows 7 shaped some of the design. However Fermi was in development as a GPGPU while Vista was the primary OS.


I also asked if the new "Infiniband" will reduce the memory bottleneck at enthusiast resolutions and the answer was Inifinband is a very expensive feature and most likely won't make it to the Geforce line. (Ifiniband bypasses one read/write cycle to the main system RAM reducing latency by 20%)
