The GT300/Fermi Thread

What I think is that, 360 will be around 5870 and 380 will be 20-30% faster than that, which places it a lot above 5870 and a few percent behind 5970.

IMHO 380 will be 15% faster than 5870 on average, and 360 will be in line with 5870, making the 5970 still the fastest card in the world!

that would make the 360 a 384sp part and the 380 a 480sp part, right?
and that would explain why they need a dual gpu card, to beat the 5970... i think nvidia will price that dual fermi card WAAAy high though, as otherwise they wont make a lot of profits with it, and they have problems ramping up production, so selling cards with 2 gpus when they have problems getting good yields is not a good idea... a dual fermi has very good chances at beeing a record breaker in more than just performance benchmarks, it has very good chances to be the first consumer graphics card that reaches or even surpasses the 999$ mark

but you know what?
people are spending that on cpus for years, and a highend vga is 10x more worth it than a highend cpu imo...
actually im surprised highend vgas havent been selling for more for the past years...

it is phenomena of its own that's OK when Intel sells CPUs for the price of $560+ and $1000+, and when VGA manufacturer offers killer card with the processing unit that is way more complex, and with bunch of GRR5 memory chips for 300-400 USD everyone is complaining how expensive it is!

so I'm complitely with you on this one!
