The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[Teemax]

Fine, if you want to talk about mobile Quadro parts, let's do just that.

You point towards the Quadro article at Fudzilla to be an indication of rebadged parts. They are not. I have used Quadro cards for most of my professional life from the current 2700M in a laptop all the way back to the NVS days.

The previous generation of DX10-capable mobile Quadro cards were the 370M, 770M, 1700M, 2700M and 3700M. The new cards are all x8xxM which makes total sense to me considering they now support higher memory bandwidth, OpenCL 3.2, have EnergyStar certification, use a new power management system....the list goes on.

How is that a rebrand again? They added updated tech but you expect them to keep the same names? Now THAT would cause confusion.

It's the same chip, they simply put in higher memory and update the software and call it a new generation.
You call that a new product?


BTW, you surely want to talk only about the Quadro parts, since at least they did something before renaming. The whole Gefore 3xx line right now is just a plain mindless rebranding. If you support this kind of creating a whole new "generation" from rebranding, do go on the record and say so.
