I hope so...
How will NVidia counter the release of HD5xxx?

Remember how "elastic" Cypress turned out to be for the past few weeks until you reach any possible conclusion. Take all scenarios and you'll have from 1200 to 1600SPs, a 256 to 384bit bus 250-360mm2 and what not. In the meantime you obviously have a clear picture but you should also think of the fact that its in its production stage, meaning Cypress is a hell of a lot closer to release. As for anyone's wannabe measurements w/o having a real clue about the architecture itself I don't buy them one bit.
For SoCs there's SFR also available, but on a TBDR AFR wouldn't make much sense anyway:

Perhaps nVidia will just do nothing.
If I understood correctly, the first batch of DX11 cards from AMD isn't going to be the high-end.
As long as AMD's cards aren't (significantly) faster than nVidia's, nVidia can just sit back and watch AMD spinning their wheels trying to promote their DX11 technology with little or no games supporting it, much like DX10.1, or what they're doing themselves with Cuda and PhysX.
All these technologies are nice and all, to people like us... but the majority doesn't know or understand much about any of that, so they just buy whatever brand they are more familiar with, or whichever came out on top in some random benchmark.

I put Other, as they've already started with Batman Arkham Asylum. Have your TWIMTBP partners start using vendor ID's to limit features that work on the opponents card. Then have them put in the options that you need to buy an Nvidia Card to activate those features.

You'd want to use it on a deferred renderer
IMG's multi-core MP has specific hw support for scheduling the workload first across multiple cores and then on ALU level; oversimplified with a frame's worth data known out front it's a lot easier to split the workload as good as possible across multiple cores.sorry mate too many acronyms I dont understand any of them (apart from afr)
ps: soz for the off topic
If true I find that a despicable practice, has there been any comment from either nv or the devs who made batman or any devs in the TWIMTBP program about this practice ?

SoC = system on chip, in other words mostly embedded stuff (in the given case a CPU and a GPU on a SoC).
SFR = single frame rendering (like AFR ->alternate frame rendering); with SFR screen gets divided into parts and assigned to each core
TBDR = tile based deferred renderer (as opposed to typical IMRs = immediate mode renderers) oversimplified instead of processing data as it floats in, processing gets delayed (deferred) until say at least one frame's worth data has been collected
Recent rumors of GTX 275s flooding the market makes me think yet another price drop is in the works. Sub-$200 GTX 275s would be attractive to a lot of users that still think Nvidia is synonymous with PC gaming and wouldn't give an ATi card a second glance, no matter how fast or what features it brings to the table.
Cheap cards with good performance are always attractive.
I am hoping to score a 285 cheap when the new ati card comes out, or a cheap ATI 5xxx (whatever the one step down from the top single gpu is if the difference is marked though last time with ATI gpus it wasn't that huge) when the gt300 comes out. Or something along those lines. I dislike multi gpu setups and have yet to see anything to change my mind.

I was going to sell my GTX 285 to get ready for ATi's DX11 parts but then decided there's really no point given my uses. I barely game on the machine that has the GTX 285 in it. My main gaming machine is using an 8800 GT. If the GTX 285 would fit in that machine and the PSU were adequate I would switch the two but alas that is not to be. Oh well, can't complain about having two fully capable gaming rigs of my own
Only two?
Only two?
Not much
What if someone visiting you would like to play at the same time as you, and your wife needs to do some eBuying?2xGame capable PC's, 2xXBOX360, NintendoDS, Laptop and Nettop are enough for me
But I have few brothers and sister who can visit me anytime, so I need to be well prepared!
Sorry for OT, but this thread is funny anyway
[x] Launch GeForce 300M series:
http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/24989-nvidia-forceware-186-82-released/
Some renamed chips or to part of the strategy to show how close to release g300 based chips are?
gt21x rebrands!
if you take NVIDIA GeForce v186.42 WHQL :
If CJ says they'll bomb us with rebrands, they'll bomb us with rebrands!
Fanboys Rejoice! GT300 is neigh!

Exactly! Or perhaps your wife likes to game too? That's why we have 4 gamers and a couple of laptops.Not much
