The gaming part is also going to be fast

ALSO IN THE NEWS
GT400 does not yet have a code name, but it has billions of transistors! This GPU will also heavily concentrate on parallel computing! The gaming part is also going to be fast so you know Nvidia plans to earn a lot of money because of that.


ALSO IN THE FUTURE NEWS
GT500 does not yet have a code name, but it has billions of transistors! This GPU will also heavily concentrate on parallel computing! The gaming part is also going to be fast so you know Nvidia plans to earn a lot of money because of that.


ALSO IN THE FUTURER'R NEWS
GT600 does not yet have a code name, but it has billions of transistors! This GPU will also heavily concentrate on parallel computing! The gaming part is also going to be fast so you know Nvidia plans to earn a lot of money because of that.

I think you need to add 10 to the GT600. It has 10 billion transistors!! Don't get too carried away with the copy and paste. lol

fixed; generating FUD can be tough business
 
Another coincidence, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN the larger accelerator like Fermi Lab is set to come back online in mid November. Who will be working on particles first?
 
dont know why the vrzone author thinks its 256 shaders. that diagram shows combined 32 scalar fp32 sp alus + interpolators in one MIMD unit with a total of 16 MIMD units under the blurred area.

= 512 shaders. Except madd = mul are redesigned and the interpolators are in the text units now?
 
Don't know what the four dots are above the sp's. memory should be 384bit ~ 230gb/sec woot! 512 shaders / 230 gb/sec / 40nm / 3.2bln transistors - sounds fast to me!
 
Interestingly, the codename is GF100, which is the third codename we have heard following the popular GT300 and the recently revealed Fermi.

I wonder if these rumor sites are tripping all over each other with the barrage of codenames because they haven't figured out (or been told) that there are some four unique IC designs coming, each with their own codename of course?
 
It's been known for some time that it would be 512 shaders and DDR5. With a 384-bit memory interface it should perform very nicely indeed. 30% faster than a 295 is a distinct possibility.
 
One in my wish list on GT300 is much, much improved AA performance. Performance hit on G80~GT200 by AA has been huge for whatever reasons.

Onboard cache, native C++ support, these things will be amazing compute engines (and will probably put larrabee back another year as Intel try to come up with something that doesn't look useless in comparison). It's a folders dream.

On the other hand will all that gpu compute stuff compromise graphics performance vs the 5870, which is a pure graphics chip with few gpu compute dreams?
 
I noticed in Nvidia's whitepaper on Fermi that they repeatedly made mention/comparison to G80 and GT200 but not once is there any reference to a "GT300" nor a "GF100".

It is simply Fermi, nothing more, nothing less, in the whitepaper.

Has Nvidia publicly referred to Fermi as GF100 or GT300 at any point in time? I would think if the terms were actually used and synonymous then they'd be present somewhere at least once in the whitepaper.
 
ATI's 6 monitor approach almost guarantees that I'll buy one of their cards. I really hope against hope that GT300 will support it as well.

Thats a good guess. I've seen people say guesses from anywhere from 15-20% faster than an HD5870 to 60% faster than a GTX295.
