The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[LordEC911]

I think he is talking about the 5890.
Plus, saying that partners are hitting that speed on air, doesn't mean that's the stock speed (nor that it's stable).

He was talking about overclocking those custom cards.

maybe, i believe it all depends on the leakage, as amd has brought the leakage down on phenom2's the clock speeds have been rising with out a process shrink. we could see something similar with gf100, i believe that's what lordec911 has been hinting at with the Bx clues... ati admitted after it launched cypress that it had troubles with channel width and via failure, that could also have something to do with the delays and clock speeds for gf100. time will tell...

Yeah, I expect Bx to fix some of the leakage and probably raise clocks a bit.
The via problems were on RV740, due to problems with TSMC's process.
