The GT300/Fermi Thread

[saaya]

So according to you there are no cards out at developers and partners and nv suddenly doesn't inform anyone.

actually they (AIBs) still dont have any cards at all i heard

You need to focus man
AI enabled = botmatch ( like somebody is playing the game and does all the ai calculations )
AI disabled = flyby

heh, was way late last night

Maybe neliz = Jen-Hsun Huang? How can you be sure on ze interwebz?!

Thx, but it was doomed to happen, anyways. Nobody can act as sure as him without proper documentation.

EDIT:
It is always fun to predicts the trends, and make some educated guess and assumption, but acting too sure about a unreleased product is not the proper way to act.

let me put it this way.. transistor per transistor nvidia has higher efficiency/performance than ati whether you agree or not like it or not.. you guys can turn blue it aint gonna change

depends at what perf segment you look at... for some reason cypress doesnt seem to scale very well, especially if you look at the 5970...

I only care because none of them offer what I want. (That being a decent >1GB card).

My only hope is Ati "canned" the "six" 2GB HD5870 to make something new and shiny, like say perhaps a 2GB (across the range) 5890 which is clocked @ 1Ghz and has faster memory and a few tweaks here and there...

And that Fermi has 1.5GB (at least) with some versions/editions offering 3GB!
John

beats me why no single AIB has launched a 2GB 5870

Just curious, couldn't you just buy one of those 5870 "six" (when they come out) and overclock it a bit?

1. its not even released, let alone widely available
2. i dont think he gives a damn about 6 monitor support, so why should he pay extra for that? on the contrary, you end up with mini dp connectors so you need an adapter for every display you hook up to it...

20%...

fully functional? thats 250$ a piece... thats just about good enough to not lose money on a 500$ card isnt it?

You may be able to verify some of his info, but he doesn't even allow others to be optimistic, while he himself acts to know everything in such a details that ha can't get surprised . All this without showing any benchmarks or documentation about his claims. He says::

I personally require benchmarks and documentation for this kind of bold claims, otherwise i don't take it serious. You can consider it as good info if you want.

so when you go out on a date you ask her to prove that shes really single and actually female before talking to her, right?

geez, just take it for what it is... take it or leave it...

I'm just warning people here that think that GF100 will be [strike]God's[/strike]nVidia's gift to man. If it was, it would've been last year.. not anymore. We're talking about an expensive, marginal (10-30%) upgrade over HD5870

cheers

if price wouldnt be an issue, i think most people would def go with a fermi instead of a 5970... even if its slower... i hope ati has a faster single card up their sleeves...
