News - Leaked slides expose NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 "Fermi" GPU

[shaithis]

Does that slide realy say the 5870 doenst do multi monitor gaming???

No it doesn't but they have tried very hard to make it look like it does......typical marketing BS that does nothing but purposely try and confuse the customer.


The slide says that only gtx280 cards can do 3D with multi-monitor.......

thats just a lie though, there is no way to get round that unless you make something the same but call it "fap o vision" then tick your card as the only fap o vision compatible and hope people know what the hell fap o vision is because i certainly don't

Wait, doesn't the 5000 series support OpenCL completely? What is nVidia on about there?

[HW_90]

looks like they got their slide wrong on two points since 10.3 preview and above drivers support 3D

was earlier than 10.3 tbh, i think 3d support came in 10.1 and they are just adding additional methods now

Yes it does, as do most Radeon cards, and drugs.

[nibbler]

How can they justify having world's fastest GPU as a ticky box category

[shaithis]

nVidia "Masters of FUD"

[Terbinator]

I wonder what the idle power will be like.

[GheeTsar]

I wonder what the availability will be like

and the price.

and the reliability of the chip.

and the noise of the cooler.

and the overclocking ability.

[Phage]

300w of toasty goodness. No wonder the cooler looks like my central heating system, it's a vlaid replacement.

[mercyground]

Well we know where Rollo went to work then...

[HW_90]

can't wait to see nvidia putting out hundreds of thousands for first day of release to see sales only in the hundreds.

or them releasing maybe 2 or 3 to each retailer and only 1 of those are sold.

[Biscuit]

Na they will sell like hot cakes, the marketing techniques might be scrutinized and ridiculed by us with a trained eye but all the regular peeps out there dont know any better.

I also dont see them putting hundreds of thousands out if the rumours of the poor yields are true.

[aidanjt]

It's more like educated speculation at this point. Big fat chip on TSMCs crappy 40nm process? Easily going to have significant yield problems.

I have to say, the first thing I thought of when I saw the original slide was to replace 5870 with 5890, switch the x and check around, put in the mentioned 3D Eyefinity 6 Support, etc etc...

but your idea had much more lolz, so I applaud you sir.
