and by the way....its after gtx 260 its the new architecture
Still waiting.... by: Anonymous on 2/18/2010
And we're still waiting for a live card how many months after they announced this card?? This was posted on 9/20/09 and still no live product floating around. Waiting for ATI to come out with their 6x00 series or what?

If you wan't value then go to ATI. If you want the best then go to Nvidia. Unfortunately I'm too poor for Nvidia. :(

WHY THE QQ by: Anonymous on 10/14/2009
I don't know why all you fanboy's of either side need to fight over this, competition between the companies keeps the price down, so shut your immature little mouths and get whichever you want, no one wants to hear your fanboy crybaby little whines.
RE: lies by: Theo Valich on 10/14/2009
According to simple math, if nVidia GT300 GPU came with 512-bit interface, then 8GB of system memory would be reachable. If it featured 256-bit, 4GB of GDDR5 would fit the bill [with 1-3% performance penalty, since memory will go on both sides of the card].

128-bit x 4 1Gbit = 512MB
256-bit x 8 1Gbit = 1024MB
384-bit x 12 1Gbit = 1536MB
512-bit x 16 1Gbit = 2048MB

Now, the "magic sauce" that makes ATI's 256-bit FirePro come with 2GB GDDR5 is 2Gbit chips. So, single side cards can feature following:

128-bit x 4 2Gbit = 1024MB
256-bit x 8 2Gbit = 2048MB
384-bit x 12 2Gbit = 3072MB
512-bit x 16 2Gbit = 4096MB

384-bit x 24 2Gbit chips = 6144MB

Thus, if you put 24 memory chips [12 on front, 12 on the back] on Fermi cGPU, you get 6144MB of memory. Simple maths.

Ed.
not to rain on your parade but... by: Anonymous on 10/12/2009
cGPU technology with 6GB is for Tesla, an area where nVidia dominates.

he top end Geforce will *only* have 1.5GB GDDR5. Radeon 5870X2 will have 2GB GDDR5. Yes, nVidia will get more optimisation from its CUDA technology, but I suspect that its price will be higher than radeon 5870X2 and many will continue to buy the AMD product - and I will do just that.

man u people are such bs
Hmm by: Anonymous on 10/9/2009
30% more transistors than 5870, seems like a lot to me ;)
lies by: Anonymous on 10/8/2009
these arent the real specifications for the cards, if it has a 384bit interface it cant have 6gigs of ram it can have like 5.8gigs or something like that but it can never get 6gigs directly. If it were a 256b interface or a 512 then it can get 6gigs of ddr5. Regardless Nobody really knows wat The green eye is going to offer, let us hope its good. i HAVENT bought a videocard yet and i plan to wait to see what nvidia has before i make my purchase.
Big GPU by: Anonymous on 10/8/2009
The new NVIDIA GPU direct 11 will crash ATI 5870 card.
The Fermi GPU from NVIDIA it will be the biggest and fastest GPU on Earth.
ATI fanboys will cry on January 2010.

Fake GT300 card by: Anonymous on 10/3/2009
LOL Green team showing off a mock up card obviously to make people think the 300 series is further along than it really is. Why would they do this? well if people think the 300 series is close to release, maybe they'll hold off buying that shiny new ATI 5870. Not a chance in hell green monster.

you make me lough

clearly you dont know nothing about ATI

I dont shoose sides, cause i use both of them.

But if you had have seen what each of them can give!

You would realised that Ati is for advance users and nvidia is for everyone!

That is the only fact!

Ati can alway perform better than nvidia, at a tweak cost

Nvidia has more time doin' bussiness but that doesnt mean than Ati isn't as much cutting edge.

Btw great card! hope to get it in about 5 years! haha
Bunch of Babies by: Anonymous on 10/2/2009
Ati fanboys need to shutup and smell the coffee. It looks like Nvidia has a monster card no the way. Unlike anything ever seen before. It will be much faster than ATIs 5870 yet all we hear is ,"The profits ATI will make will be much more due to the cost of the chip being significantly cheaper to make." Did you idiots forget the profits NVIDA made with the G80, which BTW took the cake for 2 years, and left ATI hungry until its release of the 4870? ATI is a great company but when it comes to performance NVIDIA has ALWAYS been on top. Sure they always overprice their graphics cards but the name of the game is "fastest". Did you know that as of April 09 theres 7 Nvidia cards in every ten gaming pc??? SHUT UP and stop making excuses the card will be faster. If you cant afford to pay $100 more for a faster video card then just ask President Obama for a government grant to help cover your poor ass!!
Confused ... by: Anonymous on 10/1/2009
This is an intriguing article and if the specs are true, this does sound like a monster card. I am confused though,why all of the hostility from the ATI fans? ATI is making great cards - no question - I am contemplating a 5870 purchase myself, but right now, I love my NVIDIA card and I enjoy the benefits (albeit only added particles in most games) of the Physx capabilities. I would like to see ATI pick that technology up so we can have real head-to-head benchmarking battles.

That said, I hope this new chip from NV is everything its purported to be - I think that if it is, it will certainly give ATI a run for its money! :)
nvidia dude sorry for it by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
for the specs alone its gonna be overpriced again and when they release this card ATI has already earned big profit in the market from its ati 5800s card enough to create a monster card to counter nvidia again hehehe

now who's controlling the graphics field war

ATI rules
How many Ferraris you are seeing in the road? by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
It is not about the Fastest card, it is all about how Fast you can make with respect to die-size, ATI can very well increase the shader count by another 100% point and they can claim they are the fastest one, if ATI increase the shader count by 3600 and beat Nvidia and price the card around 600$ , do you buy that ?

ATI doubled the performance by increasing only 30% of die size, So for them it cost only around 25-30% more to produce, but they can sell it for 100% more price, they can sell it for volume and more margins.
Most of games are playble in high resoultion in their card with more than 3 monitors, what else you need.

By the way how many Ferraris you see in the road and how many Porsche you see .. Porsche also makes the fastest cars, but they do in volume and it is good enough speed for day-2-day life.
I am sure Green team fan boys will get disappointed after the price/performance in January 2010 or mid December.
by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
hahaha, what details? problems making chips? possibly slow dx11 features implementation?
ATI Fan Boys will Choke by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
All of you idiotic ATI fan boys will be crying very soon. Nvidia is still holding back on the details but when the details will become public...ATI fan boys will cry and their heads will explode!!! I wish I could tell you more but I can't because of an NDA! ATI fastest card? only for a couple of months!!! LOL
by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
Sooo, is nVidia again forced to make a bigger, more expensive, complex to make chip to keep up with ATI?
Price and release date by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
If your Die size is more than 60% of previous GTX 285, then it might be priced around 499$ (considering its yield for that size) , if they clock 2Ghz (I don't know, how they will manage power envelope for the same). It will reach around 3 TFlops, that is already done in HD5870 by increasing core clock from 850Mhz to 950Mhz. but it will cost around 350$ by December. It performs much better in Gaming for that price.
Nvidia might increase another 10% performance from HD5870 and ask 40% price premium. Apart from that most of improvements in Tesla and Quadro side not on consumer side, by the time Nvidia release the card (Middle of December), ATI yields will mature and they can release the overclocked version and beat the card.
Nvidia card wont support eye-finity too..
In the end..
Nvidia worked on card to improve its Tesla and Quadro side (where huge margins come from), but they missed to improve the gaming side. But ATI worked on the Gaming side, by improving graphics, raw power, eye-finity etc ..
Wait and watch for the performance numbers
There is no way they can beat HD5870X2 , it is around 5Tflops card and they dont know about the another hidden weapon HD 5890..

faster than 5870 x2??!! by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
how do you know that. I'm not an nvidia or ati fanboy, but I seriously doubt that it would be faster than 5870 x2.
ATi wll be worried by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
Just look at those specs anyone doubting them as obviously an ATi fan boy whos very worried indeed.

This is going to be a monster of a card and will probably be quicker then even a 5870 X2!!!
no x86 by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
They don't claim x86 compatibility
- C++ ability doesn't imply x86 compatibility
- I think Theo has misunderstood this (with his ISA comment)

- but having x86 compatibility on a GPU (like Larabee has) is not at all important
- be having the ability to run 'normal' C++ code is.
- the reason is that the application still has to be re-written somewhat for the GPU (even is the majority of is remains unchanged)
- and so, the app needs to be re-compiled for the target, even if it is x86 compatible, like Larabee

For Inte, using the x86 architecture on Larabee was more of a marketing decision than a technical one
- it sounds good to say it's x86 compatible (well to some people anyway!)
- but the reality is that since you need to re-compile, it doesn't really matter what the underlying instruction set is, it just matters that normal C++ code will run efficiently.
Interesting... by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
This sounds like an intriguing part, now if we can only get the truth rather then the hype. I'm looking forward to seeing benchmarks and tests from reliable sites and reviews from unbiased reviewers. Which means avoiding all the fanboy BS from both camps, all I can say if this works as advertised and expected then bravo for NV.
I'm more into computational science then gaming so anything which pushes that area forward is a + in my book.
So Larrabee did serve a good purpose, in getting NV off it's ass and taking competition seriously.
by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
"In a nutshell, this is just baseline information about what nVidia is going to introduce in the next couple of weeks. Without any doubt, we can see that nVidia reacted to Larrabee by introducing a part that is extremely efficient, natively support key industry standards and more importantly, doesn't cost an arm and a leg."

You 'know' this how?



Nice...BS by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
Not only it has just barely 30% more transistors than 5870, that amount has to include all the fancy cGPU BS reducing the actual GPU transistor count. It's also far more expensive to produce and theredore to be competitive they have to lower the price, meaning lover/no/loss on profit side.
The C++ side is another BS. No you can't execute x86 type code as the gpu has no x86 instructions (nvidia has no x86 licence) unless the have some kind of software emulation meaning slooow.
Oh my oh my.....
SFU gone ?! by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
512 FMA..
I guess they got rid of SFU (special function unit - interpolation/transc/MUL unit) !
Shader clocks by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
Any idea what the Shader clocks are?
With 512 FMA / clock, a 2GHz clock would be needed to hit 2TFlops.
- this sounds less than the AMD part....

...just imagine what the new game consoles will have on them when they come out in 3 years :O
Some real gaming tests please! by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
OK. I am using my GPU only for gaming. So, my request is for a game test in Crysis and Crysis Warhead. I have preordered HD5870 and if nothing comes out in a few days I will pay it.

Can of ass-whopping?.... by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009

I wonder if this is the opening of the can of ass-whopping that the CEO of Nvidia said it would deliver on Intel?...

But i´m more intriguid on the fact that the card supports C+ Language, does it means that the card can run programs like a CPU??? Anyone care to explain please???
er... C++? by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
C++ isn't an ISA, it's a language. You can't just say "we'll take this C++ code and make it run"; You have to have a compiler that spits out code for your specific ISA, which is what I'd damn near guarantee is what that is in reference to. For example, it's quite likely that they have function libraries to interface their ISA that are now C++ native, which will mean that yes, Dorothy, you can now write your 'cGPU' code in C++, compile it, and it'll "just work".
What about gaming? by: Anonymous on 9/30/2009
How much fast would it be in games? We know that it's around 25%-50% bigger than rv870. Now if it isn't faster by the same amount, then there is place to worry.
