    I say it is foolish to make predictions about the NV40 previews unless your name is TheBaron, DaveB, Uttar and probably a few other people on this board. ;)

    Not bad, given that the R300 review was 18 pages, and the NV30 one was 24 pages.

    B3D don't do spell checks ;) j/k

    Good job Dave, now you might as well upload those first 25 pages so we can start reading! NDA will probably expire as we get to page 26 anyway... :wink:

    Seriously, I expect NV40 to be an awesome if somewhat hot running chip. :eek:

    I very much look forward to your preview and I assume it'll be a tech preview without benchmarks?

    You finished the reveiw and its 25 pages long? :shock:
    This is going to be a good long tech read. The way I like them.

    Thanks Dave.

    I'm expecting to see 30+ page monsters, which will try and answer the question of "How many useless benchmarks can you fit into a review?".

    I think it's good that this time we get some rather deep previews instead of the usual we had the card only for 7hour launch previews

    My problem with reviews has never been length - it's been readability. So many places have published graphs which are unreadable. Keep it simple, and provide tables of values. Nothing worse than graphs where you can't tell what's going on :?

    Re: Deja Vu

    During last Cc, Jensen said NV40 was designed for high yield,
    so unless he flatly lieing (which would be legally liable), it shouldn't
    be too bad.

    Re: Deja Vu

    "high" could be a very relative term... high compared to other chips of this huge size could still be pretty darn low... 8)

    Re: Deja Vu

    During other conference calls JC said that NV30 would be a summer '02 product.

    Point: forward looking statements are just that. Forward looking. They can turn out to be incorrect, but that doesn't mean he was purposely lying...
