The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[saaya]

I mean usually the company shows samples of the cards on some event (some Analysts day, computer show or so) and than 1-2 month later they release final version. If memory serves me well, NVIDIA did not officialy showed anything. They'll show it together with release? So I think there will be gap between the release and cards actually on stock.

About the RV770, whole chip was screwed in terms of power consumption...RV670 was pretty good at idle, RV770 sucked and RV870 follows the good RV670 tradition now...

hmmm idk, i think there were no gtx280 leaks, at least not public ones, before the launch... it was a real launch with no detailled infos before launch, then they showed the cards, reviews popped up and cards were in retail within only 1-2 weeks iirc...

and yeah, add to that how R600 had completely broken power management as well and theres a weird tick tock pattern in atis power management logic ^^ they seem to break it with every other new release hahah

So in the end it seems it's going to be a repeat of RV770 against GT200 this generation again with Cypress vs Fermi, but with the GeForce part coming into the battle with a 6+ months delay and probably a diminished availability due to manufacturing difficulties with 40nm process. Isn't it?

well, 6+ months late, low availability, and apparently a much smaller perf gap between the red and green cards this time around.

So you haven't? Thought so....

obviously not... whats your point?
