The GT300/Fermi Thread

[Nedjo]

I hope the writer realizes they have to ship the cards/parts to board partners quite some weeks before the launch date.

or... you can cut number of partners to feed remaining?!

Fudzilla is writing this about Nvidia? I did not see that coming

it was a matter of time! How would you feel if NV was telling you that GT300 will be out in Nov/Dec, and then turned up being spit-wall protecting the real source of FUD - NV!

Performance is likely to be ~20-25% faster than HD 5870... but the Q3 part (aka the Daddy), is going to be competitive with the HD5970.

What's "Daddy"?

Thats not quite what I'm seeing yet. Given it's rumored heat and power and die size, being only 20% after being 6 months late is a bit dissappointing

that's not how Hohn and Fiskov are seeing it

Whether or not the card is a success, you have to hand it to nVIDIA.

hand them what? the price for the most postponed HW after R600, LRB, and Boeing Dreamliner

being loyal to a manufacturer is retarded..

those are harsh words! that kind of loyalty is actually quite common... it's almost natural for the people!

When I dig dipper in to my choice of loyalty I can come out with bunch of reasons, but key ones are the fact that hardware that I'm loyal to I've cached out from my own money in the years of grates crises, and that HW served me without glitch for many years... when t I've gathered more money I've again went for AMD... and when I've got in the line of business that allowed "hardware promiscuity" I've switched sides from time to time, but eventually always returning to the roots

If 20% faster means like 10fps more, (30/36fps for instance) I would call that a serious failure.

I would call that pure and simple math
