Charlie at Semiaccurate says: Physics hardware makes Kepler/GK104 fast

All this FUD surrounding the Kepler vaporware reminds me of the FX and Fermi delays.
It's looking more like a smokescreen for sub par performance than a preview of something noteworthy.
NVDA fans would do well to be alarmed...:sneaky:
*Release date for the high end part will be March 9th(this year hopefully) otherwise TVIceman and his big bets and promises are going to be a fail of epic proportions.

NV's marketing department is working overtime it seems

I'll wait for the 2nd gen. if I need it , replaying ME2 @ 18% gpu.

No one wanted to take the bet. Too bad for them. And "epic" became the most abused, worthless, overused adjective two years ago. Update your vocabulary.

This is nothing at all like Fermi's release. Fermi's was confirmed to be delayed due to problems in the design. During the delay, Nvidia released white papers, talked up Fermi's performance, and even showed benchmarks. They made quite a bit of noise to try to take away attention from AMD's entire 5800 lineup in the absence of Fermi. With Kepler, yields are rumored to be great, the dies are supposedly small, and Nvidia hasn't officially said or done anything to take attention away from AMD's Tahiti.

What ever will you complain about if Kepler comes out forces $100+ price drops on AMD's two tahiti cards? Surely you'll still find something to be negative toward Nvidia....

There are two GK104/Kepler variants



Just some more tid-bits on the GK104, to me sounds very much like the many variants of the GF104/GF114
Starting with the original gtx 460 1gb / gtx 460 768, I expect most memory sizes to double now with 10%+ over GTX 580 general performance (pure conjecture) in the complete gpu.
