[Fake] Nvidia GTX 485 to be released this fall, 512 Shader Units enabled

Half baked = just a 40nm refresh with enhancements, not a new chip design.

why not just call it an enhanced 5800 series? Half baked gives the impression that it needs more work or can't operate at its rated spec without more work.

Lets hope its more then just a higher clocked model a.k.a. 5890, because it probrobly would need core clocks over 1200 to beat a 512 sp fermi with higher clocks.

maybe for you...

I would rather there be very good stock and a reasonable price. They can choose to compete with Nvidia for the fastest card but that would just drive up prices. Right now the best deals in cards are the GT240, the 5770 and the 5850. Big jump (in pricing) from the 5770 to the 5850. Maybe Nvidia's new 460 can be a great bang for the buck card? What lots of consumers want are great choices in the $200 range.

Poor choice of words , I agree...

Doesn't make any sense. Southern Islands is 1/2 Northern Islands, and 1/2 Evergreen, and you're calling it a refresh (since half the chip is 'old'). That means when it finishes the transition to Northern Islands it'll be 1/2 Southern Islands, 1/2 Northern Islands, making it still just a refresh (since half the chip is 'old').

Not sure what ATI is working on... You would think it would be a redesign at this point, or perhaps just a higher clocked version of their current GPU. Although, I will be extremely dissapointed if ATI just increases clocks 15% and calls it a day.

There has been talk of SI being a combination of the uncore from NI and the core of Evergreen.

But at this point in their 40nm process technology, I wonder if the part will have more than 1600 stream processors. Would 2400 stream processors be too much to ask for provided yields on 40nm were fairly mature?

I agree.

Let's hope AMD can spin this new part out of the 5xxx family and substantially improve it to the point where it can be called "hd6870".

Either that or develop some new driver/hardware connection using SFR so dual chips can finally feel like one big GPU as far as input lag and performance goes.

There is an edit button. I am sure a 512 fermi would be able to fully bake almost anything.

Sigh, so I have come across an awesome deal on a GTX480 yet I said all along before launch that I'd wait for a 512 part....decisions decisions.

OP you must have missed the fact that in that very same thread Kyle basically says its all bullshit based on an old april fools joke.

He is correct.

Why are you discussing this BULLSH!T at all? The original source is FAKE

 

[GaiaHunter]

Hey apoppin any word on how those GTX 460 are coming with 336 cuda cores? Software error, architectural departure (going from 16/32 to 24/48 cuda cores per cluster), ability to fuse half a cluster, other?

 

[tincart]

Fake news is fake.

There is a similar thread at [H] where Kyle says as much.

EDIT: Someone above beat me to it. Everyone may now tell me to read the whole thread before posting. In an act of contrition, I will go play some L4D2.

lol yeah might get a proper omelette out of it this time round too.
