I hope they deliver good price performance ratio

Bad portrait design... ¡the most important feature (Dx11) is "out of the box"!.

 

[Ciuy]

wow its so....common?

Now Nvidia will get the crown back for another few years. Then, ATI will get it back for a few months.

 

[phraun]

These cards had better be either AMAZING performance-wise or on par with ATI's offerings and similarly priced. I'm going to have to abandon NVidia on principle, otherwise.

Well considering Fermi die is 60% larger than 5xxx series, Fermi should be 60% faster... and 120% faster for the dual card. Anything less would be a failure in my book

Where do you get these numbers?

 

[lordcrazex]

aahh... the things i would do to get Fermi..
uh wat?.. an arm and a leg??
err...wat was ATI offering again?

Since when is the release of "box art" worth a Tom's headline? The Nvidia marketing reps must have asked you very nicely, indeed. Not surpising considering the hole they're in. Looks like Tom's will get one of the first few sample units Nivida can cobble together, for a softball review.

Eyefinity vs 3D....

hmmm... 3D so I can watch Avatar...

 

[saaiello]

This card is either gonna be the best card ever or a complete bomb. According to some leaked benchs the 480 is barely better then a 5870 that was released 6 months ago truly pathetic nvidia.

 

[Onus]

Utterly irrelevant. I don't care how great the box looks if it can't perform or is overpriced. OTOH, if it performs as well as a 5850 but sells for $125, I'll buy a couple even if the box is the color of fresh monkey-puke.

 

[kinger1331]

i feel sorry for the folks who have high hopes for these cards. prepare for dissappointment

 

[maximiza]

bad ass box

 

[megamanx00]

OOOOOOooooooo it's a Box!!!

A pretty BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh, I bought myself a 5870. Kinda feel bad for people who have actually been waiting for Femi 😀.

 

[kinger1331]

itll be funny when the 5xxx refresh comes out

 

[drip50291]

LAME!

 

[lotri]

Hm, pretty.

 

[victomofreality]

WTF no more NVidia aricles without BENCHMARKS!!!

Ati 5000 series people, why are you even interested in the Fermi. Extremely sad, and if anything you are concerned you paid for a card too early!

When I got a 8800gtx x 2, I have only looked at news in the last 6 months. That's years without looking... so what is your problem.

Also if we want 3D games, the ATI offering is a DEAD FISH. Therefore this is the next big upgrade for us on the 8xxx cards.

Reason no other data on the art work, is Nvidia is keeping all info quiet, but you already know that.

Reason we have the artwork... its a free advert for palit, and what great free publicity.

Please Toms Hardware advise your forum users to add constructive comments not 8 year old boys snapping at each others heels!

Where do you get these numbers?

The term "chocolate starfish" springs to mind. :lol:

 

[HalJordan]

Couldn't they sell these in a plain white box with minimal "art". Flashy box art isn't what I'm buying. I think that could be said for most products.

 

[The_ColonelCommisar]

I'm pretty amped for these cards. Might shun ATI for a while once these come out.

 

[invlem]

Mmmm, Mmm, 3D vision surround, basically eyefinity on crack (and probably a gigawatt powersupply to run it)

3D is EPIC FAIL IMHO, as for why ATI fans are concerned...well I'm hoping Fermi bring down the price of 5870...which keep going up without any serious competition from NVidia (I’m starting to think ATI is price gouging) Now we know all you NVidia fan boys going cry victory if Fermi is just 5% faster than the 5870, irrespective of the fact the Fermi is a 60% larger die. Kind of like fighting a super heavy weight against a super lightweight, but I supposed when the little guy is cleaning your clock on the performance, efficiency, cost ratio... you take whatever crude, inefficient, overheating win you can get. The box is cute.
