GF100 (Fermi) previews and discussion

[RealityRush]

There will be dozens of Divorce complaints citing EyeInsanity as a reason.

"I came home from work and my husband had spent our mortgage money for two months on 3 computer screens and a bright red steering wheel. He seemed manic and insisted myself and our kids watch as he repeatedly tried to get a game going on this THING. He didn't come to bed for the next week etc......."
The Husbands counter claim.
Best purchase EVER !

That's why certain "toys" were invented for women to keep them entertained why their boy toy is distracted by shiny things. Heck, they usually say the toy does a better job anyways....

Btw, hallowed, I want a red batmobile now........ dang you!! I'd even put 2 bezels in the middle of the windshield so it felt right 😛

I doubt most people will know what to look for in a tessellated game.

well we all know that tessels are what they put on bike handles for kids , leather jackets, nipple covers for burlesque performers and batons for cheerleaders 😀

Tassel........ fail. 😛

And no, I don't appreciate sarcasm... cough cough.

someone has to represent the idiot class of pc users, i suggest we all take turns and build a library of misconceptions based on our sarcastic superiority, which we can then draw from when noobs attempt to make arguments without the proper data.

This would be a conspiracy to infuriate agro noobs. 😀 agro is slang for agressive in this context.

I wonder if there is a type face called sarcasm i feel it would be quite useful when "debating" nvidia vs ati stuff

Wtf, it keeps telling me there's new posts in this thread, but I don't see any beyond my last one.....

 

[EXT64]

Its a bug with the site. I see that too and I think it can occur when a mod deletes a post as well.

Supposedly Crysis 2:

The dirt/pebbles seems to be tessellated, maybe the grass?

 

[sabot00]

Which is why I said "supposedly"

 

[JeanLuc]

About damn time Crytek moved away from it's comfort zone of wide open forests and jungles and went with a Urban environment. I've jsut recently completed the original Crysis and Warhead and I have to say they were really good games I don't why they got so much stick from users, the game is very scalable, the nano suit adds an extra dynamic to the gameplay (I loved playing a a stealthy character which reminded of me Thief, it was good fun) apart from the one dodgy level inside the space craft it was a classic FPS and I'm looking forward to Crysis 3 although not as much as Aliens Vs Predator 3!

 

[sabot00]

You mean Crysis 2. Crysis 3 is probably 5 years off.

So, likely to happen before either HL EP3 or Halo 3 then? :lol:

By the reviews out does anyone know if the gf100 fermi is better same or worse then a 5970? I would like to know. I cant wait until there are real benchmarks

 

[sabot00]

There are NO reviews yet!

 

[randomizer]

Hence why this thread is titled with "previews"

The most credible previews we have show it at just under the 5970 but those are previews and are made by nVidia so who knows.

 

[EXT64]

Yeah, at this point there is nothing out I'd trust. Hopefully we'll have a real test in a month or two (or three).

Fun Fact of the Week: GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 will be the names of the first two GPUs shipped based on our new GF100 chip!

I'm doubting this a bit, but who knows. nVidia is nothing if not horrible with their naming.

:lol: Oh noes, that would mean that those fake benchies that were posted were fake!

Like 1900XTX and HD2900XT are great names, if anything gpu makers are horrible at naming. Imo as long as a company keeps to numbers and doesn't shove XT CTS GTX GS GT etc on their cards and the numbers make sense for a group of the series such as 4000's or 200's like lower number is less power they are doing it just fine by me.

:lol: Oh noes, that would mean that those fake benchies that were posted were fake!

What about the real benchmarks of the GF100 😀

Fun fact not really part of their "say something about your self box thingy"
"NVIDIA is the worldwide leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU."
lol must be a tight definition of GPU

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Well, it explains the G300s thatre already out, you know, the renamed G200s?

 

[EXT64]

They aren't bad names in my opinion, though it is odd that they would skip the next logical number (380).

 

[EXT64]

Ah, JDJ posted as I was and explained my confusion. That does make sense.
