The GT300/Fermi Thread

[Manicdan]

almost 1000 posts about fermi, and we finally are getting something worth looking at. praise the guys who made the vids

thanks neliz/felix hd yay

BTW i have the HD for the farcry 2 thing uploading it now...

[highoctane]

Nice vids, really looking forward to more results!!

[jaredpace]

The GF100 is about 1.68 times faster than the card on the right in the FC2 demo. I just cant tell if it's a GTX280, GTX285, 5850, or 5870. Anyone know>?

At 84 AVG and 65 MIN, it's a little faster than a 295 according to this:

[hennyo]

Well, if those GTX360 results are true, just the thought of a GTX 380 on phase gave me a fermi.

[InCredible]

wow the hair is very impressive..hopefully this card lives up to the hype and makes up for the delays

but this test is in very high not ultra high.......

Nice to see a 384-bit and 320-bit bus confirmation. Hopefully that will pull prices down a bit compared to the higher bit buses of last gen.

[jaredpace]

but this test is in very high not ultra high.......

!!!!! Thank you, so it's much faster than a 295, and that must be a GTX285 on the other PC.

so 1.68 x GTX285?! No way!

So compare to this:

[InCredible]

its hard to compare without having identical setups....does anyone know what setup they are using with Fermi..i7 at what clocks etc?

[Teemax]

I wonder what kind of shampoo they used on the hair model...

[jaredpace]

If it's a 448 shader Fermi, then everyone is in for a treat. just noticed the GF100 84fps result says 01/10/2010 and the gtx285 50fps says 01/13/2010.

[InCredible]

@Teemax pantene pro v without a doubt.

according to this:

gt360 overtake 5870 by


Crysis Warhead + 60%

Far Cry 2 + 20%

HAWX + 55%

Fallout 3 + 20%

maybe its fake maybe not.............

another great series of benchmarks about mysterious fermi

If thats true why did they use farcry 2 something that has only 20% advantage, better have used crysis to showcase GF100 instead!!

cheers!

far cry2 does pretty well... if thats only a 360 and it performs as well as a 295... then thats pretty impressive! thats pretty good scaling there... they almost went for a 2.5x increase in specs from gt200 to gt300 and it looks like they actually managed to get close to a 2.5x perf boost as well

did nvidia really say that this was a 360 demo though?
because if they are sneaky, and ahum... nvidia IS, then they might try to get people to think this was only a 360 and the 380 scores even higher, but actually this already was the 380.

even if thats the case, this is good news for nvidia! very good news!
while fermi is most likely very hot, very power hungry, and very expensive, and will arrive very late... the performance seems to be there. and thats the most important thing after all...

now all nvidia needs to do is get the thing out on the market and get the price and power consumptions down. but those arent easy task, especially the latter seems close to impossible without a srhink...

and something nobody mentioned is that since tsmc cancelled 32nm and goes for 28nm, a direct optical shrink of gt300 is NOT possible! :S
that means they cant shrink gt300 as quickly and easily as they did with gt200... and even that took them several months...

and 28nm isnt even close to ready yet... so it seems nvidia will be able to capture the performance crown, but they will probably take longer to get volume up than with gt200, fermi will have a higher price than gt200 from introduction to propper availability and even then, and with the 360 having that many SPs and being as fast as a 295, it doesnt sound like there will be mainstream gt300 parts for quite a while... i wonder if nvidia plans 40nm gt300 mainstream parts at all... they might continue with their recent strategy and just go for a full blown gt300 in 28nm instead and use that as both highend and mainstream part, like they did with gt200... :/

I was able to rip 3 off... uploading to youtube now
Also clear high def SS

the first SS shows identical results to a gtx285, the second shows the same perf as a 295... so the first was a gtx285 as reference and the second is fermi? gtx360?

raytracing: "everything is done in raytracing" BS! only the lightning is done in raytracing... thats what really matters, but still, they shouldnt claim its all done in raytracing, im 99% sure its not... and those lightning effects are nice, but its not all that special, there are very similar demos for even dx9 cards... radeon 9700 had several raytracing lightning demos, sure, not nearly as detailled as this one, but im just saying, its nothing really new, just more details...

oh and the guys says they will bundle this app with fermi so people can create their own car and post pics of it on myspace? lol what?

the hair demo looks sweet!

uhmmm did anybody see this?
did the system crash at the end?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1GM...eature=related

the rocketsled demo doesnt look impressive at all to me, the only interesting part is where the house collapses when the sled passes it... that looked very very nice

[saaya]

is there an answer that would actually make a difference? ^^

[Manicdan]

i do wonder what they are planing, they make it sound like you can mod the cars? but i think its just colors or scenery, i dont know if you can change the shapes or anything. but it would be a fun little 3d modeling program for free. too bad it really does nothing, except for facebookers

even if you could model the cars shape... who really cares?
if you could actually race that car you built on your own, THAT would be cool!
but building a car to then... take a screenshots of it.... thats ret4rded imo...

Sorry if its already been posted but does anyone now when the NDA expires?
