Post #81
Nvidia are probably working on something similar to compete, since when have they ever let ATI do something without offering an alternative at some point?
We probably won't see 3+ monitor capability in the first GT300 card to hit shelves but in a later special model or mini-series.
Though who honestly knows, your guess is as good as mine.

Fuck yes!.. GTA4 will run properly with all those fucking massive modded textures. :D

This GT300 is looking to be very impressive, but it's not at all aimed at the consumer/gamer demographic, it's pretty obviously going to be targeting very specialized high performance applications. It's quite interesting to see how this is going to be, Fermi looks pretty amazing. However it's almost definitely going to be far too expensive for the average consumer, a die size that large is going to be really fucking expensive; it seems Nvidia is really hoping to win big on their whole Tesla idea, because this isn't going to be much of a winner in the consumer market.

Just a note: the bandwidth for the 380 was calculated incorrectly, the Anandtech article clearly states it's going to have a 384 bit bus, not 512, so: (1100MHz*4)*(384bit/(8bit/byte))= 211,2 GB/s or 195,7 GiB/s, but i think it's usualy measured in GB. Over 200 GBps is still a lot though.
Yeah, the Nvidia's shaders are a lot faster, they work at A LOT higher clockspeed than the GPU core clock, in ATI cards they work at GPU core clockspeed. Also, ATI's shaders are grouped into packs of 5, with only one of those 5 shaders being able to perform all operations and the other four can only do simpler stuff. In Nvidia's cards, all shaders have full computational capabilities. ATI makes up for these differences by having a shitload more shaders.
Looks like nvidia has pretty much doubled everything up, the same as ati did with the 5 series. I wonder if all the architectural optimizations are going to make any difference in gaming performance. If not, the GTX 3xx vs HD5xxx performance differences should be around the same as GTX2xx vs HD4xxx. These new cards have the potential to be awesome, now we jus have to wait for the prices to see if it's worth it.

As powerful as this seems it may be, I would rather have full DirectX 11 support, and be able to see new features in game engines, than CUDA and Physx, which I would most likely never actually use fully. Though the specs for it do make it seem pretty damn nice, I sort of hope it performs great too, even if I won't buy one.
-
uhhh
From the article.
-
Its gona be like £150-£200 ($240-$320), i bet
-
It's funny how people think that new nvidia card won't support dx11 fully because nvidia said it's not the main reason to buy it.
They never said they won't support dx11 or it's features, they're just not their main focus.
-
It really looks quite hardcore.

bleugh shiny
Matte is what's cool now

:saddowns: I'm sure that wasn't there when I read it the first time. Must. Stop. Skimming.

Guys just because it's not only aimed at gamers it does not mean it won't be good for games, for all we know it could beat the 5000-series by far. Lets wait for benchmarks before dismissing it as not being a GPU for gamers (not saying that anybody has done so, but I can see that coming sooner or later in this thread).
Also personally I don't think Nvidia will do too much to oppose eyefinity, afterall Nvidia has the whole 3D thing, which I personally would greatly prefer to eyefinity (two completely different things I know, but since you have to choose between the two, I'd choose 3D).
By the way my opinion on the Eyefinity vs Nvidia 3D is, as I said, an opinion, I don't prefer 3D because it's made by Nvidia, it's just a matter of personal opinion.
-
I love my cards as expensive AND as big as a football field, so Nvidia is my favorite company.
-
I'm pretty sure this is quite literally impossible. The yields on such an immensely huge and complicated die together with the sheer size of the damn thing are going to drive costs off the charts. I'm thinking this is going to be closer in the $500 range.

Nope.

At least wipe the smudges off.It really looks quite hardcore.

The 5870's are still £300, ATi are the cheaper of the two manufacturers, there is no way in hell this would be priced lower than the 5870 unless it was actually incredibly shit, and nVidia were just lying about it's awesome power.
-
$600. This is nvidia, remember?
-
Yeah knowing nvidia, this will beat the 5870 by a few FPS, and seeing that the 5870 costs 380, it will cost 500.
(trubitar will get 4 anyways :\)
-
Seeing his nasty greasy thumb that close to the gold plated PCI-E connector is almost heart wrenching:frown:It really looks quite hardcore.
-
Did you guys notice that it only has one 8 pin PCI-E power connector?
Edited:
Yet I get 21 disagrees on my post saying that. :saddowns:
-
Did you guys notice that the tesla is a fake
-
Well that is why I still think I'll be going red again. I honestly will not pay another $50-100 for a few FPS here and there (just to own a specific brand). They're going to have to give me some pretty significant increases over what ATI has on the table right now (to justify that supposed cost increase), or match ATI price-wise.
But I will try and hold out until I see some legitimate benchmarks on these cards before making a choice.
Edited:
But again, maybe they'll surprise us with their launch prices. I personally am not counting on it...but who knows. Things have changed quite a bit.

-
I personally think that's pretty damn sexy.
-
What's the point of a mirror finish on a graphics card?
I personally think that's pretty damn sexy.
-
only one 8 pin too.It really looks quite hardcore.
-
Well there's also that 6 pin on the top.
-
You mean like their good old plan of rebranding their new series and having miner changes done to it to make it just slightly better?
-
That's stupid, why would they put the power connectors on different sides of the card...

And the best part about is that it's not even soldered to the board
-
Full DX11 capable? That means OpenCL and tessellation too? If it was the right price, I might buy it for the benefit of having PhysX/CUDA, the current leaders in GPU powered physics in games along with OpenCL. Of course, if it was substantially more expensive, I wouldn't pay more just to see cloth and broken tiles. Plus tessellation is fucking awesome, and if it's being used in AvP, then those screenshots I saw in a magazine just might not be prerendered. But Nvidia aren't known as the kings of undercutting, so I'm gonna hold out until they've had a little price battle with ATi first.
-
-
hahah, Nvidia
Get fucked
-
hahahahahahaha
-
Wait wait wait, don't the shader units differ from eachother?
-
Well shit, Nvidia seems to be having a tad bit of trouble.
-
Oh jesus god, Nvidia you dolts. And ATi has GPU Accelerated Havok you say? I might buy ATi and hold out for ValVe including that in an engine update.
Why the dumbs? Imagine Gmod with that tech. I'll be using those boxes to store the debris from the thousands of exploding barrels that I'm gonna be apawning.
-
Whats the point of a giant sticker of a half naked armor clad woman on a video card? Both are pointless, it's in your computer.
NVIDIA is not going to release a card over their standard price bracket, it's just the rules of economics, NVIDIA knows what they are doing and they are not leaving the target demographics. Just because it's a better die archecture and size doesn't mean it will cost more, efficiency doesn't equal more expensive.
-
I'd only get one if:
a) nvidia lowers their prices (like thats gonna happen)
b) this is way better than the 5870
-
Indeed it looks hot, I'm sure the mirror plating is to show you how it can turn anything hot, even you.
I personally think that's pretty damn sexy.
