NVIDIA GF100 & Friends speculation

Broken Tesselation??

What is your HD4800 trying to prove?

Whats your point there? That screen is from a Radeon 4870...

So the Unigine benches look legit, which brings us to that rumor of a while back, concerning the GTX 470's price of $299. If it is true, then it's not that bad, although from a performance perspective, it seems to be poised for disappointment (still waiting for actual game benches with proper drivers to confirm that).

There were also rumors it would be launching at $499. If that is true, it's sort of is that bad.

Looks correct to me. The texture map is simply being stretched. You can clearly see the stretch marks on the big stone blocks, and the tiles have the same stretchy thing going on.

Jawed

Even if the closer roof could be explained by bad angle (which it imo still can't), the next roof isn't far enough not to get tesselated, and there's no tesselation going on there

Have you seen this?

http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/03/04/tsmc-and-umc-production-delays-after-taiwan-quake/

TSMC has suffered about a day and a half worth of production delays due to the quake in its Tainan based fabs, but TSMC’s largest facilities are based in Hsinchu and didn’t suffer any real damage.

Now nVIDIA has a bit of an excuse for the rumoured shortage

Which appeared before any legit performance numbers. Right now, those "rumors" make no sense...

There is no question that something is dorked with the roof tile tessellation both up close and in the distance. Is there a Quincunx approach to tessellation here?

Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't make it true, never apply logic to marketing people.

Serious or sarcastic? I'm having an argument with someone:

If you have been waiting for Fermi, Geforce GTX 480 and GTX 470 and you really want to spend some 600€ / $600 for a high end graphics card, you better be ready to buy it on March 26th.

Despite the fact that Nvidia will have a massive volume launch with thousands of cards available in Europe and USA, they might easily sell out in matter of hours.

People close to Nvidia believe Fermi cards will sell like hot cakes and that there will be huge demand for them as soon as they launch. The reason is quite obvious a single GPU Geforce GTX 480 will end up faster than any Radeon HD 5870 card and in some new games, the advantage will be significant. In some games Radeon might end up faster or very close, but in the big picture Nvidia’s big chip is going to win.

Isnt there something wrong with those screens? I mean, in some places there does not seem to be tesselation. For example, the chimney in the bottom right corner. Its not really round, is it? Its same like round objects everywhere else, with lines.

The GF100 render output is correct. Here is the same scene, rendered on my 5870:

I think is a mix of both. Sarcastic about availability. Serious about performance (even with the apparent broken tesselation ).

Clearly broken tessellation there, Fellix.

Thanks. Now I don't have to run it. Strange how flat those tiles look compared to other shots/angles.

now THAT's sarcasm!

 

[DavidGraham]

My bad , Tessellation IS WORKING , look at lines inside the green circles :
they would be flat if tessellation is not working ..

Thanks sir, I stand corrected then.
Even then the image is quite weird.

Just want to mislead you guyes...
Chech the Youtube video of Legitreview at 1:30, the roof goes flat due to the view angle.

Read back a page or 2 of this thread dig.

 

[Kaotik]

Yep, it's working, mistakes were made by me & others on that one

I think we can only compare AF quality.

Texture quality is lower on the 5800, check the wall and stones on the bottom right side or the patch of land on the top left.

Almost looks like there's no AF on the 5800 OR it is running with SSAA because there's a slight blur even on the shadows and cobblestones on the floor. You running with SSAA fellix?
