[citation][nom]soark[/nom]What is the motherboard used in the Fermi preview? The motherboard orientation is up, is that any good?[/citation]


the case itself is upside down, note that there is no pci brackets on the second pic.
 
I'm surprised they put out another 80 shader part. Considering they have been increasing the shaders I would have thought that the least they would do is 160 for an IGP and the same for a dedicated part allowing for decent Hybrid crossfire performance. Oh well. I'm curious to see how the 400 shader parts will preform.
 
They need one dirty cheap alternative to market micros, for those who like to surf and play minesweeper and pasians, thats why 80 shader version. The 400 shader part is first really interesting alternative to mobile gaming.
 
It is one good looking case that's for sure.

I don't know why people keeping saying they will get HD 5000 series ASAP without seeing what's Nvidia's release and its impact on HD 5000's pricing.

Nvidia is saying it will release a card that’s faster than ATI’s fastest within 90 days and people keep acting as if buying a HD 5000 now will be the best decision they’ll ever made.

All the talks of Nvidia giving up the market just make me laugh in frustration. Are people/gamers’ memory really that bad? A year and half ago people were saying AMD is giving up both CPU and graphic market because of Phenom I and HD 3000.
 
[citation][nom]mindless728[/nom]he insisted that the results are better than the ati cards, if he had the benchmark running, why didn't he show you[/citation]
that's bring something on the table.. WHY do i feel that TH guys are intel (and now nvidia) fanboys? i mean if the results are better than ATI's flagship, then maybe u had sometime with the nvidia guy looking at you while you're benchmarking.. or in the other case u must be an eagle to spot the frame rate difference between Fermi and ATi using only ur eyes!! yes??
 
Fermi's retarded.

No I'm not trolling but how many times have Nvidia re-scheduled release?

Its now 2010 and they're still not finished their product.

I think Nvidia is finished and ATI will be forced to help them unless they want to face monopoly charges.

No 12 year olds, not the monopoly game.

Well, Microsoft did give Macintosh a whole lot of millions once, and in all likeliness, it was so Macintosh didn't go under.

Even ATI must realize that if Nvidia dies, they have issues inbound.

And what company doesn't actually like a challenge?
Could you imagine being an engineer with noone to compete with anymore?
 
[citation][nom]KidHorn[/nom]What was the fermi setup running? Was it a movie? a still picture? a game? or?[/citation]

It's running the Unigine "Heaven" DX11 benchmark.
 
It’s good that Intel settled with AMD and forked over $1.25 billion, because Intel will probably earn it all back as AMD struggles to compete.
An unnecessary Intel PR Talk.

The system was running the Uniengine DirectX 11 benchmark, and Nick insisted that the results were already better than AMD’s fastest GPU.
And you believed that? Honestly, why didn't you repeat the same comment above for AMD over this one? Starting to look real? Fermi should have been in reality already if we've just believed their PR talk before, unfortunately it's still inexistent until this very moment.
