The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[saaya]

Thanks to trinibwoy for these graphs of those numbers:

nice... at least something...
but im pretty dissapointed, i expected to finally read reviews today :/

I think the 8800 Ultra was the most overpriced Graphic Card ever. Even more than GTX 280 for $650 was.

well... idk... a 8800gtx is still enough to play games at 1920x1080 and max details and aa today... so it was expensive but if you think of not having to upgrade for what, almost 3 years? thats pretty damn impressive and the per year cost is only around 200$...

thats not silliness, this is patrick after he picked up a GTX480 for $480

hahah awesome, keep em comming

See what happens when you base expectations on random forum ramblings? Did the developer claim it was an nvidia optimized game?

its not an twimtbp game?

oh and did anybody notice the latyest xbitlabs article?
they meassured power consumption of the latest cards in very high detail, slot, first 6pin, second 6pin or 8 pin, in idle, under gaming load, occt load and blue ray playback load... very interesting!
and in this article they hint towards the 400 series being very hot and power hungry.
in fact they say something along the lines of "it might take a while until nvidia cards are perf/watt competitive again"

xbitlabs is veeery picky when it comes to power consumption of cpus, boards and vgas...
this cant affect their 400 review for the better... and the fact that they went back to the bench and checked the power consumption of all current cards shows that this is going to be a major part of their 400 series article, power consumption...
