Fermi GeForce = GTX 4XX - Hardware & Software

[url]http://www.n4g.com/News-480777.aspx[/url] They are launching it at PAX, the cards won't be in stores the same day of course (at least I think). [editline]03:44PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ShaRose;20645476]I went to page 4 on [url]http://twitter.com/NVIDIA[/url] I don't see it. Though I don't doubt they pushed it back again. Perhaps a link?[/QUOTE] Yeah it's not on Twitter, they posted it on Facebook. I don't understand why they don't announce it on their main website instead (and it's not only Nvidia, a lot are starting to post mostly on Twitter/Facebook).

any ides on an actual price yet? or will we have to wait until release to find out?

Those boxes look sexy, at least they seem to have gotten rid of the ugly computer-modelled monsters/bats/dinosaurs/hulks/vampires/whatever that looked horrible.

It wont be long before the Radeon hd 6xxx series is released, I cant understand what took nVidia so long. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Islands_(GPU_family[/url])

I know everyones focusing on tessellation, but I want to know Fermi's shader performance, and its shader performance when working on tessellation.

So ugh Release date right around the bend?

It's not so great when there's not a lot of tessellation to be done, but it can easily handle the larger tessellation jobs. [editline]12:08AM[/editline] The fermi cards have a much higher minimum framerate than the ATI cards, and the framerate is much smoother, but the ATI have a better average and maximum. This is similar to the trend seen in past generations.

[QUOTE=ShaRose;20734930]Now include the price, power, and heat.[/QUOTE] I'm not really concerned with power because unless it pulls like 500 watts all by itself then most systems with a 600W PSU should be able to run it with quite a bit of headroom left over. Then again heat is somewhat proportional to power. Also the price for the 470 is probably going to be around $400 and the 480 at $450. [editline]12:22AM[/editline] Honestly Nvidia has been sticking to its target audience for a long time: Graphics enthusiasts who are willing to shell out an extra 50-100 bucks for 30% more performance.

Well, i have a 9800gt and it's exactly the same as a 8800gt but with a higher texture fill rate.

In the 9 series' case, it greatly increased the amount of SLI performance boost for itself and future generations. Where SLI'ing two 9 series cards, you get up to 80-100% performance boost, while the 8 series exact equivalents would only get you a 40% boost at best. The only recent generation that didn't add anything really profound was the 200 series.

[quote=funnygamer;20734994]i'm actually not too sure on that estimate because the 5870 is only running at 170.99 on newegg and nvidia will want to aim for somewhere around double that with the 470's pricing because of the apparent difference between the performance of the two.[/quote] 5770?

[QUOTE=Roast Beast;20736096]5770?[/QUOTE] That would be my guess. He either got the GPU wrong (more likely) or price wrong.

[QUOTE=Semenster;20739196]Bullshit SLi can only scale upto 70%[/QUOTE] From what I've seen, both SLI and Crossfire can scale up from -10% to 100% in random applications. It really depends on what you're using it for.
