You know what we think of Nvidia's new GPUs. Now do you want to know what AMD thinks?

They are just as unimpressed as everyone else

 

[RazberyBandit]

Amen!

At the time I'm writing this, the review still isn't on the main page... and the link on this article isn't working either... I've just read big chunks from Anandtech.. what happened to yours Tom's ?

 

[restatement3dofted]

We know what Tom's Hardware thinks? Tom's review doesn't appear to be posted yet...

 

[djtronika]

maybe intel and ati should have married instead. love their combo performance.

 

[rage machine]

I am not impressed Nvidia.

I don't care what AMD thinks, I care what Tom's thinks 😛

I can read it already! Just clicked on the link (you meanwhile removed from this article) and it's already up! Thanks!

It's nice of ATI to acknowlege Nvidias efforts.

They probably wont bother next time around.

guru3d is down, all are trying to watch the review...

 

[tipoo]

They are right, the Fermi cards completely underwhelmed in reviews. The AMD 5k series has been delivering a nearly identical experience for 6 months now.

 

[amabhy]

I wholeheartedly agree, and have my 5850 to back it up.

Nvidia FAIL big time

No, we don't know what we think because all we haven't seen any useful information to date.

Slow, but not down.

I'm kinda disappointed... but just hope that nVidia's drivers improve them over time.
Too bad the power consumption and temperatures won't - you can nearly boil water with the GTX 470 and 480. Although for folding, I'm pretty sure they'd be awesome.

Wow, it seems Nvidia actually went ahead and designed a DX11 card and found out how difficult it is to design. ATI/AMD just slapped a DX11 sticker on their DX10 card and sells it as DX11.

Unimpressed indeed.

 

[Blessedman]

wait the reviews that I have read are very impressed with fermi... what is everyone else reading? Fermi tops the charts in 99% of the benchmarks that I saw for a single GPU card. Maybe I am not seeing the full picture, lol

 

[Guest]

Well just like the GTX280 and original 260 underperformed compared to their ATI counterparts, so do these. In time ATI will be playing catchup again and their fanbois silenced for a season.
