    North Korea? Do they have freely available internet even? That country is more dictatorial than China regarding information and citizens overseeing.

    I honestly doubt NK people could play on a game's server hosted in Europe or the US...
    South Korea is another thing completely thought, so maybe you saw people from there instead.

    I doubt anyone but Kim Jong da Illest could even afford a computer there.

    Freedom of information is pretty low on the list of everything that is fcked up with that country.

    sounds bull ... it might be Singaporeans chinese or Taiwanese?... how the hell you know their nationality from your screen?

    and NK does not have that freedom of accessing internet, let alone playing online games. maybe you're mistaken them from S.Koreans? or maybe you've some grudge on asians?

    wake up and face the fact, we're in a multicultural, multinational planet, you're bound to meet some ppl everywhere you go.

    I'm half Korean. I'm a minor going to a high school. I live in the United States. It's so funny how the United States is so segregated about asians. Blacks and whites get along fine. Thats one race now. Asians...or "chinese" kids always get the **** now. I'm quite tired of it and if anyone needs to be be racist on a forum like that then fine. Dos has his wish. Some people humor me.


    Anyway,

    It would have been nice to see some Fermi benches by now in something other than a label-less graph straight from NVIDIA on the Heaven Benchmark....in DX11.

    I'd like to have seen some real stuff. Maybe they won't show it because Fermi isn't even up to par with the 5800 series...they had the lead with G80 by far, but no..."forget R&D and lets just refresh our architecture...it'll last 5 years for sure"

    Weird cause I am white and my brother in law is Asian lol

    Im from a small town in Missouri and honestly you do not see much of any kind of racism or segregation around here. Humans are humans no matter how they look. For the ones that are racist dude just ignore them it shows how ignorant they are.

    Its kind of like anyone not from USA automatically judging any one of us for just being from USA.

    I don't think he was being racist by joking about cheating in an online game... it's a common thing just like joking about "chinese gold farmers" in MMO's . Don't take personal offense at it. As far as "blacks & whites being one race now" don't say that within earshot of Al Sharpton and co. ! Sadly a lot of animosity does exist due to perceptions of racism, even though I don't think many really are (which is of course, on that front, a good thing that it's dwindled down to near-nothing). The area I am from would easily be considered, stereotypically, a bad one for that, but in reality it is not.

    We'll see the real benches/info soon enough on Fermi... it would have to be a MASSIVE failure for me to not grab one up, at least the 470 if I don't bite on the 480. It is looking like the 470 may be a far better value while retaining most of the speed, so far however.

    Here in Southern California and many other cities I've been, the Asian population typically segregates itself, not the other way around. And while I understand that much of this is due to the language and cultural difficulties the older generations experienced... the first and second generation Asian-Americans still have this tendency to group together. I'd love to have more Asian neighbors in my community since they typically are very family oriented, well educated, and keep their homes very nice. I can't say as much for many of my white neighbors (and yes... I'm white).

    Agreed. Another week or so and we will.

    nVidia never shows off their products until the very last moment, which makes perfectly good sense from a business perspective. Why would they want to undercut sales and prices of current generation cards by releasing comprehensive benchmarking results months ahead of release? While the performance crown is an objective, nVidia would be stupid to release early data that would result in their third party card manufacturers being stuck with tons of product that they paid a premium for yet cannot sell for a decent profit margin.

    Didn't Nvidia release some Heaven benchmark scores not too long ago?

    The reason behind nvidia having such a strong NDA and being so tight lipped with there information on the 470s/480s, has alot to do with the fact that ati where able to keep the development
    of eyefinity a secret from nvidia right up to the card being released?

    It just seems to me like nvidia are making the ponit that they can keep things on the down low as well if they choose to.

    I hope you guys are kidding. Nvidia has been anything but quiet about fermi with one sneak peek, intentional leak, demonstration, and architecture review after another. They were so eager to start showing off fermi that they couldn't wait for a real card for their CEO to hold up in front of everyone.

    What ATI did with 4000, 5000, and (so far) 6000 series was keeping a tight lid on things. What Nvidia is doing with fermi is the diametrical opposite of that.
