The GT300/Fermi Thread

[Manicdan]

Any reason they don't publish the SP performance of the new products?

EDIT: Found this:
2Q 2010: C2050 3GB - $2499 - 1040 GFLOPS / 520 GFLOPS DP
3Q 2010: C2070 6GB - $3999 - 1260 GFLOPS / 630 GFLOPS DP

The SP performance isn't that much better than the older generation.

because 8x DP sounds so nice they didnt want to scare off with 2x SP being listed anywhere near it.

Yep, that's the side effect of advertising GT200 as 3 flops per clock. In real workloads Fermi is probably a good deal faster than GT200 even in SP but due to their aggressive marketing of GT200 capabilities Fermi looks like a mediocre upgrade on paper.

So Q2 for Tesla
One can hope GeForce will be first to market before Tesla ...

I need second 5870, but cheaper than it is now

You need a second 5870? What resolution are you running on, Eyefinity?

I suppose that's a lot better than looking great on paper and looking....not-so-great in reality. For all the FX comparisons being thrown around, that's one happy deviation we can be thankful for.
