Nvidia IS like half a year late for DX11, so...]]>Jan 18th 2010 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/Dirt2. One game. Dirt2. You think i would buy a 5870 just for Dirt2?

Nvidia works with game devs, The batch of games taking advantage of tesselation will come WHEN nvidia has cards out.

If anything you could say ATI suffered of premature ejaculation. 1 Game for a few months, was all they could base their harsh marketing on. Well... that, and the fact they own Charlie Demerjan and his buddy Ryan Shrout.

Fact you can do 3 monitor gaming using older cards is great. I wonder if we can do hybrid generation or both cards need to be same. We can already do triple gaming using software solutions like http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/ which is great (thanks kegetys!)
Hell, my current card can even be used to power nextgen gaming by dedicating it to PhysX. Now thats value. My investment from the past gets used to amplify my future. Funny no one talks about it in these opinion making reviews, because they all LOADED, and get hardware for FREE (actually they get paid without getting paid).

I'll just have fun with some popcorn, reading comments for fanboys on either side.

ps: I applaud nvidia for the socially responsible work and donations you have been doing even before haiti.

That's a fine argument for your fanboy friends, but around here people are aware of the existence of games like:

Batman Arkham Asylum: that can only use PhysX with nvidia cards

or

Saboteur: that wouldn't even RUN on ATI when it was first released.

You're going to have to do better than 'LOLNO' when its clearly true.]]>Jan 18th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/Jan 18th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://bit.ly/tesla-and-tegra-what-are-they

They will: nVidia has diversified now its portfolio enough. Though I suspect that desktop graphics is still the cash cow.

My only question is - how much would it cost? nVidia has the problem with their product strategy, treating mass market as an afterthought.

As much as I prefer their quality to ATI, it is very hard to justify prices of the nVidia.]]>Jan 18th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/
- The "old-gen" amazing-and-totally-adequate cards you couldn't afford are gonna get a price drop.
- ATI is gonna release something similar only notably cheaper.]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/Ryan Shrout is AMD "sponsored". He prefers to talk about an external laptop card addon for a niche market by amd than to talk about FERMI BEAST that will power 2010 nvidia pc machines!

Here's a nice realtime raytracing output from 3 gpus that will change 3D modeling as we know it (basically wiremesh will be worked overlayed on top of constant updated rendering (lightwave core etc).

Watched the vid... I see what you mean. That is very nice.

Of course, my comparatively pedestrian 9600 GSO still holds up rather well for me. Then again, I'm also not a gamer so there's no way I will ever truly tax any of those cards, so...

Just my 2¢...]]>Jan 18th 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/
"talk about FERMI BEAST that will power 2010 nvidia pc machines!"
"ATI fanboys (sponsored or not) or any kind of fanboys are annoying noise."

I'm die hard NVIDIA personally, but you sound more like a fanboy than I or any review site I've ever seen for that matter.

How come your given proof except the common "Oh they will kick ass, (at least i want them to)!" is a crappy youtube video?#

How can you be sure that the vid is a rendering on 3 GF100 ?
- There might be some seriouse cluster right left of the LCD rendering
- There might be a 3 Nvidia GTX 295 Mars working overclocked as hell in that case
- There might even be ATI Cards in the case.
The thing is this vid and your "GF 100 Beast statement is nothing that backups your GF 100 ftw statement.

I've been looking at the ATI line seriously for the first time in 10+ years for my next build.

The whole PhysX thing is not much of a feature as some would make it out to be. Like someone said previously you can't talk DX11 as a feature with only one game that really uses it and the same goes for PhysX, which only has a handfull of games that really use it well to begin with. Also people will say "but Nvidia has CUDA!" , but having spent the money for the CUDA enabled versions of several video transcoding application, BR players and other applications I am very less than impressed with them so far. Yes they transcode faster but so far they seem to trade some picture quality for the speed. ]]>Jan 18th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-fermi-gf100-architectural-details-revealed/

And since nvidia is reportingly already baking the chips we'll see in 2 months how it pans out.
Incidentally being ambitious in design isn't necessarily a bad thing, making stuff in tiny baby steps doesn't advance technology and just makes people pointlessly pay over and over for small improvements.
Last but not least ATI has a history of putting stuff in that didn't really work too, sometimes it's hard to predict how the final chip comes out it seems, and the more complex the trickier I imagine, it becoems harder and harder to emulate all interactions of components when you are dealing with millions upon millions of transistors.]]>Jan 19th 2010 4:41AM
