that was a retarded rumor, not a strange one.Originally Posted by AffenJack
Just because a rumor exist means nothing or have you seen the XDR2 Tahitis yet?
you mean no GK100? I didn't say none. I said the delay could be up to 12 months from now, which could be 8 months after GK104, which is not unusual because if wikipedia is right then GF104 came 3-4 months after GF100, and GF110 came 5 months after that. if they killed the big chip for this generation, then the next big chip for the next generation could be ready in under 12 months from now, as I said.
nvidia just lived through GTX 480. I do not think it was a big financial success. the august dx11 steam survey shows GF100 480+470 at 7.18% and cypress 5870+5850 at 18.7%. and the cypress cards are older, so more of them have been replaced. and the nvidia cards cost more to make. and they used so much power there is no way they made a dent in the computing market. you could say there are fewer GF100 out there because cypress was on sale for longer. that is true, because nvidia killed GF100 as quickly as possible.
if nvidia thought the first big kepler would suck that much, they could have killed it already. I do not find this an unreasonable rumor.
