The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[aver]

Ever think that maybe people with 30" 2560x1600 can afford multi-gpu solutions, BTW please explain and show me when 7900 GTX SLI, 8800 GTX SLI, GTX 280 SLI or GTX 480 SLI has "stutter" problems? Huge power consumption, I can afford $50 extra a year for power, noise? with home theater sound or headphones people aren't listening to their fans spinning up while gaming.

The number one reason I will not buy a 4X0 series is because of the power draw. Personally in a time of energy efficiency and rising Hydro rates its not all about the additional $50 cost. I have been focused on trying to make my house as efficient as possible. I also run dual monitors so that rules Fermi out for me since that seems to force the card to run at 90C constantly. I bet you if you explained the difference between the 58X0 vs 4X0 power consumption to the average consumer when choosing a new computer the Fermi would not fare well.

It is clear you don't have a 30" 2560x1600 display, but calling people idiots or not real gamers really shows a lack of intelligence.

I think the point is that those who run 2560x1600 do so at a disadvantage when it comes to gaming. So for a gamer the 1900x1200/1080 makes the most.
