The GT300/Fermi Thread

^ Think anyone could figure out a way to bypass that limit?

Don't count on it, every soft Quadro hack is just superficial (device ID and SPEC marks) and Teslas are even more of the same.


Now where is that "but it's still faster with 186GFLOPS" crap, when it's taking 100W more and costing an estimated 150USD more it be doing that.

Which part are we talking about?

The performance of DP at 1/4th will be below that of a 5870 in real tests.

We'd be talking about ~160 to 175 GFLOP for GF100 versus ~500 GFlop for HD5870 in DP theoretically.

or versus the 200GFlOPS of 4850 theoretically.

p.s.- and iirc hitting theoretical DP peak is much easier than single precision so those "better" efficiency claims won't work here.

depending on the application, most people can come up with 80% efficiency.

Too early to be too sure about the GPGPU performance of GF100, but everything is indicating a new era, with unheard performance of personal supercomputers just around the corner.
