Crystall ball seems to be cloudy again... by: Anonymous on 9/2/2010
Losing to the 5770 unless it's overclocked.

10 month later and can only equal the 5770 and with that bigger chip and more thirst for juice?

Another Fermi Fail.

Only the 460 is any good.

If this is half of a GF104, it's going to have difficulty competing with the HD5770 or the pressure of any new Islands parts from AMD for the fall which will put pressure on both current AMD and NVIDIA parts. Too late to the game, couldn't even make Back to school timeframe, Meh.

It may sell but once again it will be based on positioning the price to compete not the performance to compete for the effort of production. This is similar to the situation AMD found itself in with the 3000/4000 series cards where their only competitive option was to lower prices to sell cards because nothing else was compelling against the competition except niche features (HDMI audio for AMD / HDMI 1.4 & CUDA for NV) that only grab the attention of people already using them or waiting for them.

I'll believe the performance figures when they arrive, because all of the hype leading up to the GF100 launch was blown out of proportion by both Theo and Fuad. Only later did we find out it was in specifically little snippets and with the broken DiRT2 that these figures were so spectacular.

Too late, and too big to be a cheap low-midrange and mobile part with 1/2 the features of a GF104 for 3/4 the die space, sure the GTX460 currently has an SM disabled but the GF106 is a mediocre design to get only half from 3/4 die space, which]). What happened to the wonderful near linear scaling of Fermi?

Hopefully power numbers are closer to GF104 than GF100 w/mm2.

You might want to clean that crystal ball up - we have the performance figures and will run the story soon.

True, Heise.de was the first to run the story on GTS 450 specs.

Then again, TechConnect was the first to run an official image and official specs, not the rumored ones. TechConnect also took the story down, thus we placed a link on heise.de.

Looking into my crystal ball, I see it losing to 5770 in most games, while matching or slightly exceeding it's performance in twimtbp titles - and all this awesomeness while consuming ~25% more power.
Xfire 5770 for teh win :)

Heise Online already had that information on August 26th, therefore they were the first who published the final specs of GTS 450, also the TDP...

Again? by: Anonymous on 9/1/2010
2010 should be called the year of the fermi. I can't keep track of all the new nvidia cards this year. Making up for lost time, I suppose.
