Sauce?

I doubt it, 26th March the NDA is done, and reviews will be up.

**aver** · 03-25-2010, 10:11 AM

Skymtl just posted over at HardwareCanucks to stay tuned after the PAX reveal tomorrow as we "won't be dissapointed". I assume that means the reviews will start coming out after the PAX event...

I interpret the "won't be dissappointed" as the cards are really damn good, so we won't be dissappointed.

There is a big hour-long announcement show tomorrow at 6PM, including some special guests. It will be streamed online but you will miss the effect not being there in person ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/paxeast.html )

The reason you will miss the effect is because they have a huge 3D projection wall powered by eight SLI computers and $75,000 3D projectors ( http://twitter.com/andrewfear )

**SKYMTL** · 03-25-2010, 11:33 AM

According to my convo with NVIDIA, the live video stream has been cancelled due to the show only being broadcast in 3D. So, you won't be able to watch it over the internet as far as I know.

**annihilat0r** · 03-25-2010, 11:34 AM

Sky, when exactly does the NDA expire and we'll be able to read your review?

It's going to be like a DoS attack on the review sites!!

I think the game developers never say the games are NVIDIA or ATI optimized, more likely they would deny that even if it was.

I remember when reading the following post of yours about GF100 possible launch date, l was a little worried that the Metro 2033 might be another TWIMTBG game. So why are you surprised that some people might got the same impression based on "random forum ramblings?"

you are soooo RED it hurts

The tests were on 10.2's, and LOL @ saying that the 10.3's offer 20% more performance globally over them... he is indeed so red it hurts. I may be light green, but at least I'm not BRIGHTLY colored (red or green).

My card still shows scheduled shipment of tomorrow... (homer simpson drool). Shame I won't receive it until Monday if that's the case though, since they don't offer Saturday delivery service.

**Dahmer** · 03-25-2010, 12:54 PM

Well then you can call me brown and hoping nvidia can deliver, we need the competition!

Re-read the post. I said that they show scheduled ship date of tomorrow... delivery to them, then ship to me. No saturday delivery means it would arrive to me on Monday.

It's ingram micro distro links that do it automatically, not them directly... a lot of sites in the past have put pages up for them in advance for the last several launches

. Not fishy at all. If I'm lucky they'll get it tomorrow, it will ship, and I'll have it Monday.

**zerazax** · 03-25-2010, 01:14 PM

Thanks to trinibwoy for these graphs of those numbers:

**cowie** · 03-25-2010, 01:16 PM

You could be the first to receive a fermi, I am sure you'll let us know and I doubt the card will sit in the box for more than a few seconds. Hope you receive it Monday are you close to the e-tailer to get it in 1 day?
