Oh Charlie... that just another hilarious post me: I think with this post Charlie totally destroyed his credibility

well he might be right... after all igor is the king of destroying credibility... his own that is...

With Compute Shader in DX11 most of the changes done for CUDA apply to games as well. What exactly is this stuff not needed for the gaming market that you're referring to? The biggest expense in Fermi is definitely the geometry engine and that's completely gaming related.

compute shader for games? idk... except for ai and physics, what could you use it for? and nvidia will push devs to use physix instead of compute shader, so all thats left is ai... and that works very well on the cpu and nobody likes to touch ai programing cause its so damn complex...

Showed where? Their financial statements say otherwise.

damn... i cant find it... it was an nvidia press event... very recently... like a month or two ago... and they showed that they spend a lot on rnd and that it steadily increases year over year... they had a linear graph showing rnd spending...
i dont remember where i saw it... it was a site i never visited before... i think i got linked there from the news section here... hmmm

As usually.
Some people are saying there will be no Fermi @ CEBIT to look at for everyone (just closed demos). Means that the launch in March is likely to be a paper launch, ouch... Not surprising we don't get much info about Fermi.
Hope CEBIT will shed some light at Fermi an its price and performance, I am really curious if all these delays are actually worth it.

well nvidia DOES have a booth at cebit this year... they didnt in the previous years iirc... so i think they will "launch" it but whether it will actually be for sale after cebit... who knows...

The new rocket demo from nvidia looks great, cant wait to grab one, or two of these cards.

new one? link?

They have an answer.
One of the best quarters ever.

But nvidia is so screwed. Right, Charlie...

hmmmm competition caught up and at the same time their new architecture is delayed by at least 2 quarters if not 3 (it was supposed to come out before nov originally), their gpgpu segment fails to kick off, their tegra segment fails to kick off, they lost their chipset business almost entirely thanks to intel locking them out and amd not extending their license either, the gaming industry moves more and more away from the pc as a gaming platform and to consoles and mobile devices instead... yeah... this is one of nvidias best quarters ever... 0_o

Big LOL to the Nvidia marketing director for doing this:

A marketing director for Santa Clara-based Nvidia is facing a misdemeanor charge after he allegedly told a flight attendant at San Francisco International Airport that he had a bomb in his jacket, prosecutors said Monday...

EPIC FAIL for Yushing Lui

no wonder things in nvidia are not shaping up with employees like this , and no sign of Furbi yet.

hah, thats hilarious

in germany there was a similar case a few months ago, where a man claimed he had a bomb in his pants... referring to his schlong... unfortunately mr testosterone insisted on this joke when asked repeatedly by security personnel, so they took him into custody, he and his family missed their flight and the airline refused to give them new tickets since it was his fault they missed the flight. he ended up losing around 4kE in ticket costs, had to pay for his own interrogation which was another few kE, plus a fine for obstructing traffic and operations of the airport of a few kE, PLUS his wife/gf supposedly left him with the kids after this little joke...
