The GT300/Fermi Thread

Well it's a representation of what Fermi will do when you plug it into your computer

Arrive next year?

Seems about right

NVIDIA Happy New Year to all GeForce Fans!!! Oh, and there will be a sneak peek of GF100 at our booth at CES in Las Vegas next week. Stop by and say hi!


ONE WORD YAY

I heard that theres gonna be FERMI key chains for everyone!

Its gonna be sooo TIGHT!!!

All this nVidia hate is getting ridiculous. Where is this forum heading seriously. Grow the heck up people, you are just trolling now.

I for one will be happy for the wait if it turns out a good product. They missed one product cycle. Big deal.

[Milos-stancene]

+1

[Mechanical Man]

It always is, either bash AMD(/ATi), bash Intel, bash nvidia. If Via would be major player, then also bash Via.

Hope that Fermi will deliver, and on reasonable timeline, not like with AMD and phenom (failnom. That Fermi2 is not needed

Since I stopped giving an eff* here's my wish:

I hope GF100 turns out to be a massive violently bloody 5970 murderer with killer performance and features, and a bloody price tag of 1000$ per card.
It'll be a perfect performance crown holder and it'll also be nice to have 3 of those sitting on my desk and reading on the forums posts like "It sucks, it's too pricey"

That's a painfully long and boring video, particularly with the interviewer's unintelligible English.

Anyone manage to suffer through the whole thing? Is there any new info?

LOL!!!! You gotta pay to play. From 4 past experiences attempting to use "lower" parts simply results in problems, this has been true with my computer builds & true with my car.

Too bad it's coming out so late. AMD will more than likely have a new product a few months after Fermi release, that will, you know, kick Fermis' ass! And the cycle of bashing continues....

BTW...With 3 Femis in your system, you better have your own power station just for those cards.

So, you're basically saying that getting, say, a GTX 260 instead of HD 5870 or GTX 295, will result in problems? Sorry, but you're completely wrong. Unless you are thinking of "low fps" "problems".

Of course. Thanks for the unbiased and technically insightful comment, person with an AMD Phenom avatar.

I know this is old news, but wasn't the release going to be November if A0 turned out with high enough yields and clocks. Also that was the same story with late December with A1. The current February to March time line is based on good A2 silicon. I always thought that hoping A0 turned out perfect was a REALLY long shot, but there was at least a little bit of hope for A1, but it didn't materialize.

Thinking about it, I think my silicon revision numbers are off by one, they should all be one higher.

Yes, your revisions are off by one (they start with A1, ATI starts with A11)

According to the partner slides, they were hoping on shipping the first samples to their partners in Late October, enabling a late December launch. This would've been done with an A2 revision on risk wafers.

But a shipping A1 was never viable, GT218/6/5 all had one spin (in February) before going into production. After the Cypress launch it became clear that the most optimistic date AMD set for a Fermi launch (and which nvidia communicated to it's partners) would be February. CES will be a sneak peak of Fermi much like AMD did with Juniper/Broadway at Computex.

After A3 went into production (beginning of December) reported yields were still low, coupled with TSMC's general problems (capacity being the first) saw them slipping the launch date to somewhere after CeBit, this was communicated just before newyear in a "waiting for enough parts

If you take the Fudzilla articles, they hold a lot of truth, dual-Fermi, top-to-bottom stuff, but you have to be really selective to see the facts in there and distinguish them from the marketing. Original plan was to launch GTX395 almost a full quarter after Fermi, and the mid-range parts in the quarter after that. Now everything seems to be going really well on mid-range and low-end Fermi parts so we might see a similar launch curve like AMD has done, in 4 months time launch everything from high-end discrete to low-end mobile.

P.S.: I'm sorry for this shallow and extremely biased first post. Old fanboys never die (they just buy the competing hardware in the end.)
P.P.S.: Yes, Fermi mid/low/mobile will be (a lot) better than the current GT21X's
P.P.P.S.: No, I'm not Charlie's Stepson/Husband/Lover/Room mate.

Well what were you expecting me to say to a response like his, that Fermi is all that plus a bag of chips? Grow a thicker skin and maybe throw in a sense of humour while you're shopping for a personality.

Thermaltake ‘Fermi-Certified’ Element V Case

Without Nvidia SLI certified chassis, system powered by the next generation of high-performance graphic cards may not be able to operate at their highest setting due to inadequate cooling.

http://www.thermaltake.com/news_deta...pid=P_00000145

You know there is a problem with a card when it needs it's own case certification with "low-noise operation with excellent air-flow".

Just kidding! ( I hope! )

Looks quite a nice case. I like the features, but not too sure if it's anything special.


Did anyone notice the following in there?

3-way SLI or Quad SLI setup based on Nvidia’s next generation of enthusiast graphic card.

Sweet! 3-way and Quad SLI for GT300!!!!!

[570091D]

^looks to me like it's just an 'element' case with green lights and an nvidia badge on the front... usually that's the only change made to make a case "nv-edition". i very much doubt that gf100 will require a special case.

XDR memory is attached to the Cell processor, not the RSX -- it uses a set of dirt cheap GDDR3 chips.

mb, should have spend 5 seconds on google before posting...

Quoted for emphasis. I thought I was biased but reading all the moronic, ignorant, and fanboy attitudes here is astounding. I joined XS because it was better than my previous forum and didn't hate on anything unfairly. But this is ridiculous.

I totally agree orange, this is getting out of hand.

Everyone on this forum are pc enthusiast and I could careless about what company to purchase my gpu's. I just want price and performance, if and when I purchase my next video card whoever is making the best price vs. performance gpu's during that time, that is who I will go with. Not none of this fanboy bs.
