The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[Carfax]

so your expecting epic drivers to create some magic performance boost ????


do you want walt disney himself to come render each frame in real time while we are at it ????

You make it seem like it's impossible, when it's already happened before.

I gave a specific example even. Any long time buyer of Nvidia cards will remember when the Geforce 3 series first came out, it was barely faster than the Geforce 2 series that it was replacing.....until Nvidia released the new Detonator 20xx drivers that boosted performance by an average of 20 to 30%, and up to 40% and 50% in some cases..

So yes, it can happen. Driver optimizations can make a huge difference in performance, especially if the architecture is radically different from the previous generation; which Fermi happens to be.
