GF100 (Fermi) previews and discussion

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Anything DX10.1 is 3xx anything DX11 is 4xx.
Also, the 470 and 480 leaves the half numbering and the 490 as well, as I dont think therell be too many renames simply due to timing

 

[Mousemonkey]

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

What the OEM version of the 210 the 310 that is the only one in the line up and you can only get through OEM sources such as Dell, HP etc. Those OEM ones or are there others?

i've seen many people wondering why nvidia skipping the 300 series number. IMO nvidia will use 4xx number for consumer discrete geforce and the 3xx number for OEM. they did this before with 200 series and 100 series right? i think they want to keep it like that. weather 3xx series will support dx11 or dx10.1 only is a different story altogether.

I don't know...if all things were to be believed, the launch is just around the corner, but we have no real benchmarks or real world specs. I smell something funny in the air.

 

[EXT64]

They may do a "launch" where they have just enough cards for reviewers and a handful of sales. Or, maybe they figured out how to make TSMC work faster. hard to say at this point.

 

[sabot00]

Makes sense, GF9000 --> GTX200 --> GTX400, only likes multiples of 200.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I guess, to be fair, as much as 1 card, the 5970 was supposedly renamed before launch, nVidia really knows how to rename, as they did this to an entire arch

 

[RealityRush]

Eh, I should've linked an article I found earlier, I am kind of busy right now at work though, but in summary it more or less said some Fermi cards might be released at the end of February, in time for Cebit, that hardware show for manufacturers, so nVidia partners can show them off...

nm, found the article:

It's Fudzilla apparently sooooooo... grain of salt.

 

[Mousemonkey]

considering the fact that Nvidia rebranded some old cards as the 300 series

Considering the Nvidia website is in direct contradiction to this, please excuse me for not really caring what Fudzilla says mate. :lol:

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

if this is cysis 2 then I say WWWWOOOOOWWWW

 

[EXT64]

It is not, so don't worry. Though I sure wish it was. Maybe some day.

 

[RealityRush]

Dangit people, stop linking uncredited benchmarks and fake images/videos.

I keep seeing this thread as updated and am hoping for some news that might mean competition in the near future... but NOOO, I get BS every time >.<

Halo 3 isn't out for the PC...

I wonder if I'll be able to get a Fermi card and just leave in my 9800GTX in my computer as a PhysX card, or if that is even worth the hassle seeing how there are so few PhysX games.

I have an Antec 900.

Not worth the hassle, at all.

Oh and Grunt kicks ass!
