Why are they trying to plug an HDMI cable into the DVI connector?
NVIDIA GF100 & Friends speculation
- Thread starter Arty
- Start date
Curiously, it looks like a DP connector to me!

I assumed January/February, after they knew A3 wasn't going to cut it, which is why late Q2/Q3 is best case.
Did anyone ever state/speculate on the number of wafers they parked?
2650*1600, 8xAA -- And the contestant, that's running out of memory is... guess who!
I'd like to see this gtx 4x0's fps at 5760x1200 then again.
Doesnt bode too well for 470, from a performance perspective.http://tof.canardpc.com/view/fa615594-09b6-470a-add8-d247184c6cb8.jpg

Enter 5870 2GB at $399 and 1GB drops in price.
The Catalytic is probably an inside joke.

I'm starting to believe the 2gb eyefinity 6 was held back deliberately as a counter to the 4x0's. Just about all of the "wins" we are seeing for the 470 appear to be the result of the 5870 running out of memory.
Wasnt this the same case with the 4870? 512MB at launch and 1GB later.
Yes it was, the 1gb 4870 being released only 3 months after the 512mb if I recall correctly.
Is it the expectation the 5870 will now come with 2gb as standard, like the 1gb became standard with the 4870? I was sort of under the impression that the 5870 2gb would be a much lower volume part.
This is quite an interesting benchmark from AT, what ATI would give for a similar result this time around.

It'll probably end up being the enthusiast part of choice and therefore come with all manner of overclocks etc. I think perhaps this is the 5890 part people have spoke of with higher core clock and more memory, perhaps even alongside various non reference cooling solutions.

for any definition of well done that includes blue, right neliz...
Tegra 2 is around 50 mm^2. Ion2 (aka gt218) around 60mm^2. And you'd think they'd get a bit more yield out of them than fermi...Tegra 2 and ION2 are 40nm TSMC too. I can imagine that the vaste majority from the 80% is Tegra2 and ION2

This is unlikely unless TSMC doesn't want any customers except nvidia for <40nm.

And where did this fermi is revo stuff come from. It looks like a warmed over GT200 with a new front end unit to me, or are we now calling gt200 revo compared to g80/92? Both 870 and fermi are very much evolutionary changes to the chips they are based on.

True story, problems tend to develop when you spend as much time talking about cans of ass than you do solving problems. So far, ATI hasn't spent too much time talking about cans of ass. When the do, its time to sell.

You do realize that gt200 is basically 2x g80 and g100 is basically 2x gt200 right?

Hmm, significantly increasing the part of the design that does the whole flops thing?
