NVIDIA Serves up a Can of WHOOP ASS

[dinos22]

i think i'll just let the pics speak for themselves





but wait there's more.........

[Anavel0]

Whoop Ass is old, it's made by Jones Soda.

[Asgard_thor]

there is no way you said that with a straight face XD

[[XC] gomeler]

Editor's Day?! I wanna goooooooo! Looking forward to hearing you spill your guts sometime soon Dino

[Noob-ftw]

LOL, I was expecting their new GPU benchmarks.

[dinos22]

hehehe i'm from Australia
we don't have that drink here lol
i was laughing pretty hard when i found a can of whoopass in the goodies bag i tell ya that much

i'll do a bit of a write up + benchmarks about the event and cards when nda expires

I hope the NDA is up before the release of the card.

I guess it is good to see you excited at this gathering. Only means good things.

i don't want to use full amount of smilies or i will give away too much lol

[revogamer]

damn, im so jealous, cant wait to see the results

[k|ngp|n]

Gonna pound some right before I bench!!

[TheGoat Eater]

Jones Soda F'n rocks

[dinos22]

hehe Vince
was good to finally put a name to a face mate

here's my favourite shot of the social part of the event

in good company from left to right

FUGGER, dinos22, k|ngp|n, moloko, Juan (CW - Chile Hardware editor)



btw...charles in this shot is freaking out that the bus is going to take off without us so he goes to chase it down......gets to it....starts banging on the windscreen but the driver still decides to go.........the funniest part is that everyone ran to follow him while there was another shuttle waiting for us right behind the shuttle that was leaving hahahaha

[[XC] gomeler]

Great stuff guys, looks like a hell of a lot of fun I need to move to California so I can crash such parties rather than working to get invited

[T_M]

I think moloko just wet himself

[tajoh111]

Their is an inquirer report going around that by charlie, that says the gtx 280 will get beat really badly by R700.

If charles(from your response looks like he has alot of credibility) has been to the event and seen these benchmarks, it looks like the gt 280 is in for some hard times.

lol, nice marketing from nvidia
i hope they keep foscussing on funny pr stuff like this and stay away from mudfights and anti campaigns against the competition!

2 very very very very different people. One got a clue, the other is clueless

[SIOUX]

LOL...a can of woop ass We only here that in movies here dint know there was an actely can

well.

should I be reading into the title of this thread or not.

[zanzabar]

when is the NDA over or is that NDA, and was this in SJ (if so i wish that i got the pass from my cousin)

if those clocks are true they must have a whole new cuda architecture or it looks like it wont be beat the g92 or there will be alot of game patches and it will barely win

if the clocks are that low with their current setup it looks they want the workstation crowd, but then again whats the shader clock

me 2

[zerazax]

Clocks don't mean all that much when the architecture is different. Also, the rumor is that they got the MUL part to work so the shaders are optimized and properly working this time. IIRC, the two MADD + MUL operations of G80 weren't exactly working all the time so the theoretical 518.4 GFlops of G80 GTX was closer to 345.6. If GTX280 is at 3 flops/shader correctly this time and its at 1296 clocks and 240 shaders, then 933 GFlops would be correct and would be close to 3x flop performance of G80. Granted, flops doesnt mean performance scales perfectly, but if the rumored performance numbers are true, then they would certainly be possible given the FLOPS.

umm 600mhz core is comparable to g80 as far as clocks go.

and a 87% increase in SPs
a doubling of the memory bus
a etc...

should kinda result in a bit more than a 0% increase

but they promoted low count shader optimization so im thinking that if they fixed the shaders and add more it will ether be really good or 0-15% gain for gaming, but it will open them back up to doing workstation and rendering

and memory dosnt seam to be a problem with most cards of this gen that have lessed bandwidth than the last gen, but it cant hurt (g92 v g80)

Is charles = Charlie?

FYI:
Charles in that picture = Charles Wirth aka FUGGER

That inq article was craptacular. At least it had a bit of facts that seem
true, but the rest is blind spitting fanboi-ism.
