The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[ElSel10]

when nvidia talks about gf100 we don't know to which series of cards they refer to.

Yes we do. It was disclosed in the whitepaper that GF100 denotes GeForce and Tesla is something else.

The education system is really failing humanity.

Couldn't have said it better.

GF100 is a chip. GTX 480 is a part based on that chip that may or may not have all SM's enabled.

Yes, I am sure the master plan is to produce a chip that is never actually used. How did I not see that before?

You know how the top announced Tesla SKU only has 14 of the SM's enabled though it's based on the same chip? Why is such a simple thing so difficult for you to understand?

Yes, that is for Tesla. It's been confirmed by Nvidia from several sources that the high end GeForce part has the full 512 SPs. Period. There isn't any argument here and you're not doing anything for your reputation by trying to create one.

they removed ''...you may even be able to buy one before anyone else'' from: www.nvidia.com/object/paxeast.html

they must have realized it souded like a joke

Yeah, they removed the vague wording and have instead revealed the GTX470 and 480 launch date outright.
