The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[annihilat0r]

Yes... one flaw only no reason to consider these:

- noise (loudest cards ever according to anandtech)
- Time to market (6 months after 5870)
- Availability (this is a paper launch)
- Manufacturability (castrated 512 core)
- Manufacturing cost (larger chip, more ram, beefier cooling, pwms, etc...)

... those are all features right?

Let Nvidia think about manufacturing cost and "manufacturability". What, aren't you going to buy it for $500 because it is costly to manufacture? Consumers don't care about manufacturing cost.

How do you know this is a paper launch? From everything I have heard, the availability of Fermi might be more than 5800s. Don't forget that while there were some 5800s you could buy at launch date, even after 2 to 3 months you still couldn't buy any. 5870 was only a little better than a paper launch.
