Nice plan, it will be good if it happens but I for one am not holding my breath.

I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind. [:mousemonkey]

It is no more annoying than all the ati fans posting the same links the the same thread before there was any news on the 5870. There are too many fanboys either direction in this forum now. you get people posting the same crap that people posted about the ati and you get the ati fanboys trash talking the nvidia fanboys and vice versa. It is getting to the point where there is no need to read the gpu forums as it is just everyone trash talkeing each other.

There is also nothing stopping you from starting threads about aspects of the GPU scene that interest you.

Toms is actually one of the best around for fanboys.

Very few of them are long term users, whereas in some they are permanent fixtures who can never have their mind changed and will thread crap anything they can.

Take anandtech, been around a long time like toms and is well known but the graphics forums are a *** hole due to the amount of trolls there. The decent people they have have to spend all their time combating these fanboys rather than being able to contribute properly. At least that is how I see it if I browse over there. (I hold no allegiance to any site BTW)

We may have a few pop up now and agin but they are usually just a harmless laugh and short lived, even long term ones are not of the same level as other sites.

I don't have to call anyone out here as people will know who are the worst offenders.

Yay! Fuddo reports something that isn't an outrageous claim with no evidence to back it up. Looks like the "GX2" will be like the GTX295 - double Fermi but slowed to keep under the 300W TDP, or perhaps with some parts disabled (hoping for the former so we can boost it back up with adequate cooling).

6 billion transistors for under 300 watt. i call bullshit! the double card wont be the GTXx2 but more likely GTx2.

G300 is on a 40nm node, not the 65nm node that G200 was on. So there's some power savings from going to a smaller node, but alot more transistors. Will be interesting to see how much power it really pulls.

GT385 < GT380 < GT395x2 = SLI GT385 < 5890 < 5870x2 < SLI GT380 < Tri-SLI GT 380 < QuadFire 5870x2

Food for thought?

Interesting when we'll see any card from GF100 family? I guess Kyle and Charlie were right all along about when Nvidia will launch those cards, and its not this year. From all signs its G80 vs R600 all over again, just with the roles reversed :sarcastic:

Its always like this, Very rarely do both companies release cards at the same time. I have been building gaming computers since the voodoo days. When nvidia an ati came about there has always been one on top and the cards usually cam out around 6 months apart. The last time ATI has really had a better card was back in the 9700/9800 pro days. I dont care either way as I will purchase the fastest card on the market no matter who makes it and I might just wait till nvidia releases their card to see which is on top, unless games I really want that are in dx11 are released. I guess the problem is too many immature kids are building computers now and that shows the trash talking fanboism. Just wish they would jump ship and go play their consoles and let the grownups have intelligent conversations about computers.

All i cared to see form fuddo is the gpu accelerated flash.

Nvidia may be one greedy mofo but they do work close with other companies to push their products and this time their ion. Bring much much delayed gpu acceleration to flash would win me over for nvidia for life on my htpc's at least.

I would rather Flash crushed into non-existence than made more accessible via hardware acceleration.

I rather see flash disappear esp while adobe controls it but when it's on like what 98% of all computers online it's a bit hard to say it ever will so it might as well get better then stay as it is.

The loading time needs acceleration, not the playback speed.

and that does not explain why they would want to hide it being that ATI cards are all ready out so ati cant do anything about it, get it to gether nvidia and just tell the truth {you wont have a card till next year}

If Evergreen was still in R&D stages this would make sense. But as you said, it's not like there's anything they could "borrow" from NVIDIA now.

I always did question the 'GT300' moniker. :lol:

If all goes well Nvidia's CEO first said that Fermi, GT300 product will launch on Tuesday and didn't want comment whether it can launch in 2009 or 2010.



I really don't understand that. If it's launching on Tuesday then it's launching in 2009... Although "launch" doesn't mean "hit the shelves."

It all depends on how you define 'launch' I suppose. *sigh*

Well in a previous Fuddo article they said it was "expected" to launch. So is it or is it not going to launch? Expectation is not definite. And as you implied, "launch" can mean many things. Intel "launched" Penryn on paper.
