The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[Sam_oslo]

The whole point is, few cards will be launched yes will be around $599 - $699 and that is being too optimistic. This will be like a super ultra soft launch, probably not even 10 thousand units. This move will be to calm down angry customers and Nvidia adepts, even though you will never find it but it was launched. Ebay prices, expect $1000+. Nvidia's primary business is where the money will be generated. What is the point of selling a product that costs $500 to manufacture at $699 if you can make more money selling Tesla based products at $2500.

The price will depend on the competition. If ATi can't (or don't want) to put up a good performance-fight, then a superior Fermi won't come cheap, for sure. But you are speculating based on what?

Tesla is something else, we are talking about CUDA that runs on all upcoming NV-GPUs. CUDA has already been used for supercomputer-activities, and is accelerating many Gflop-demanding tasks both for personal and business use. But my question (which you are avoiding to answer) was: how can you make a negative point out of something that can be a great help to those who use their PC for more than just a game-console.?
