Just google the words "Fermi is 60% larger die" you'll easily find your answer.

I was not questioning the die size rather your interpretation of how that should affect performance.

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

What does 3d vision have to do with the PSU requirements? :lol:

AMD has now released the bomb with Open 3D, and also greatly improved their relationship with games developerts (in the game developers conference).


Nvidia is such a failure state that now box arts are news xDDDDDDD. Shame on them.

Great looking box!

It seems amd is releasing 3d for all dx9 cards and newer, so basically any ati/amd card that still works.

Other than that it's nice to see the new card full with features that is being mentioned on the box, but why no dx11 on the box? I thought that was the most important part of the next card, guess things like 3d and physX should sell more cards.

[citation][nom]haljordan[/nom]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.[/citation]
People buy things based on how flashy it looks. It's a sad truth. A flashy box isn't going to cost much more than a plain white one after all, but it can make a big difference to sales if you advertise all of these marketing buzzwords on the front.

I believe he meant that a 60% larger die should mean at least 60% better performance otherwise it's wasted silicon. He didn't mean that this was how fast it was actually going to be, only how fast he thinks it should be.

Which is exactly what I was questioning because as we all know, one doesn't not necessarily relate to the other even though some feel that it should.

Perhaps it was tongue-in-cheek.

 

[Mousemonkey]

Or foot in mouth. 😉

Well I just managed to snag a Palit 470 from scan in the UK.

I am happy, will be here tommorow.
