The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[spursindonesia]

All i know is, IF the report is true, that Fermi wide availability would finally come in Q2 '10, any XSys forum proponents/supporters of waiting game should apologize or make a new suggestion/recommendation of waiting for ATi's next gen GPU family. You know who YOU are.

why? it's still wise to wait.. its safe to assume when fermi hits ati will drop prices.. even if you have to wait even 4/5 more months then the price drop will warrant the wait in my and alot of people eyes.. i got burned last time when i brought a 4870 for it to drop like £80 a few weeks later.

But fermi is suppose to be released "paper" around first week of March and stock may come by around mid march

I think you missed what we posted on previous page, but real availability seem to have slipped to May-July.

That's not his point (I think), he's talking about the guys saying: "Don't buy ATI's high end, wait for Nvidia's". (Regardless of price).

lol i posted that link and i do know that mass availability may come in May-July but very limited availability can be expected around March-April just so Nvidia can say that things are shipping even if it is in limited quantity.

Yeah, I remember that discussion. This was back in early December I believe, and his premise was that since it would be the only card to play Crysis at the highest settings, people should wait for it since their current cards were good enough anyway. Since Fermi would be released in January, it was a no brainer to wait... and wait.... and wait... and wait................
My reason for upgrading is Eyefinity.

I hear ya on this one; if this is true I am going to scrap any thoughts of going Fermi; that I can promise.

Sorry, haven't made my intention clear on that post, but Piotrsama explained it well.

I'm just so pissed, after NV30 and R600 debacles in the past, some of us still haven't learned any lesson at all.

There is no reason to believe that fermi will be as weak as an R600 or an NV30.

[BSN] nVidia to launch GeForce GTX 470/480 on March 27, 2010?

One more full quarter delay and suddenly "Fermi" will be competing with AMD's upcoming "Northern Islands" GPU generation...
