GTX360 and GTX380 Benches!

Almost time!



EDIT: Slide is a fake.

Seems pretty good but who knows if they're real or fake? Regurgitating what guru3d said - It's the same presentation as Nvidia but it came from nowhere so can be dismissed as fake.

If they're real then pricing and TDP needs to be competitive as ATI are probably earning huge bucks haha.

Rollo.. you'll be the man who knows.
when are they gonna be here? i NEED one!

and.. 19FPS better than a HD5970?
made up.. just made completely up.

[Terbinator]

TDP is going to be the key thing when they come out anyway. the more i think about it the more im impressed with how ATi got there wattage down and still perform admirebly, compared to the R700.

Bad news:

Word from NVIDIA the slide is a fake. False alarm.

[Phage]

The numbers were a little convenient, exactly mirroring the relative positions of the cards before the 5xxx series.

wow, all this undisclosed information you are apparently party to is really wasted on you isn't it? you put two and two together and got potato

I haven't seen benches on these cards yet, have only talked to people about their performance and feature set.

So this slide can fool me as easily as anyone else as I'm under the impression these cards will outperform their ATi counterparts, and offer more features.

When the cards launch I'll be happy to tell you why I felt comfortable saying they will offer a compelling alternative prior to any info leaking- there's one key factor.

what is the key factor then?

something he isnt allowed to tell us, but is really, really important and we should all buy nothing till it is announced

[Fraz]

I think someone "in the know" like you Rollo should have realised pretty quick that the slides were fake. There is simply no way that a GTX380 is going to be faster than an HD5970. For starters, it has about a billion less transistors than are in an HD5970.

[MadduckUK]

i think we have to go with what we presumed form the start - the team hasn't told cheerleader rollo any of their strategy

Hardly.
I could care less what you buy, not like I'm selling anything. When Fermi launches it will be pretty obvious to all what I was talking about.

As far as NVIDIA telling me nothing, in a way, they haven't. (at least as far as specific performance benches are concerned) I do know some things about it that aren't public knowledge though, and I'll be part of the pre-NDA press briefings and likely have a GF100 or two before launch.

It's not a bad deal.

[MadduckUK]

exactly how much less could you care?

It's not a bad deal.

its really not, they certainly get their monies worth out of you don't they

Handbags at dawn?

You: Post about video cards, get callouses on your fingertips.

Me: Post about video cards, get the callouses, plus free hardware and software, press privileges and access to industry insiders.

Tough call on who's having more fun with the posting about video cards. I mean, you do get the same callouses.
