[Fudzilla] Kepler to show its face in Q1 2012

the gtx 700 series, nvidia's supercard they keep rambling about is a long way off. for now its not on the table and that is bad news for the green team. amd's 7970 seems capable of crushing all before it and has set some very nice ocing bars for nvidia to try and match. what they need is PR, and PR they shall get. at Cebit 2012 there will be a private nvidia presentation behind closed doors to investors and select press & media (most likely to give it a good spin on the net).
anyway fudzilla's sources say kepler will be in attendance in some form or another. to cebit folks if you want to catch a glimpse of probably the only thing that might tame Tahiti XT.

It's too early in the year for trolling headlines. Let's save it until March or so.

With or without woodscrews this time?

that's a... very good question

FYI, this year's CeBIT is to be March 6-10, so yeah, not good for nVidia that they're this far behind.

And unfortunately for nVidia it looks like a die shrink of Fermi might have been enough to compete with the 7900s, but instead we have to wait months for the new architecture, I just hope the wait is worthwhile (ie a GPU that is actually twice as fast instead of only 50% at best)

N/M. Looks like it's taken care of.

What is the OP even talking about?

I don't think you can screw up so much information unless you're actually trying to.

Without I hope, I’m looking for a good upgrade for my GTX580.

Very disappointing that they're so far behind. Been keeping my 295 GTX because I didn't want to upgrade to anything less than a 680 and now we won't see them for a few months still.

295 still a beast minus DX11.

Wow, your 1st post since joining in '06

There holding a press conference on Jan. 9 at CES not CeBIT. There streaming it on the web so should be interesting to see if we get anything concrete on Kepler. If its some lame press conference About Cuda or Tegra I'll take it as Kepler's still not ready and most Likely 2H of 2012.

Fudzilla has to be the most unreliable site of all time. Remember this?

Fermi GF100 to launch by early December [2009]

Fermi, Nvidia's GF100 40nm DirectX 11 chip is selling great even though Nvidia still has to officially launch it. Sources confirmed that Nvidia is taking pre-orders like there is no tomorrow, but at this time Nvidia offers no guarantees when the chip will hit the market. Everyone expects shortages due to heavy demand from day one.

The original schedule of late November might skip in the first week(s) of December, but from what we learned over the last few days, it was always late November to first days of December.

Nvidia ordered much more 40nm wafers for its notebook and desktop entry level chip as well as for Fermi, as Fermi should sell good in the server market for parallel computing, workstation use and, of course, as a computer games graphics card. The server market will be prioritized as Nvidia can make more money on the same chip.

Performance wise, once again we can confirm that multiple sources strongly believe that a single core Fermi will end up significantly faster than ATI’s single core Radeon 5870.

They have since taken the article down, but you can't take that site seriously.

Taken from that headline:

"See how nvidia powers phones and super cars!"

doesn't look promising

Do you think most consumers care about phones, or about high-end GPUs?

High end GPUs of course!

We are talking about Kepler, remember?

Why are you telling me this?

Not saying your wrong but if your going to quote them at least quote the whole headline.

Visit our booth in South Hall 3 and our automotive display area in the Central Plaza outside to see how NVIDIA powers
Super Phones, Super Tablets, Super PCs, Super Notebooks, and Super Cars.

Nvidia just went SSJ.

ditto

I would jump on the 7970 but its disappointingly only about 5-15% faster than just one of my 580s in the games I care about, and I'm really anxious to get back to just one GPU

granted if I could get a guaranteed 1300MHz on a 7970 with one of the aftermarket designs feature a triple slot cooler (such as the ASUS DCII) that might be enough to tide me over until Kepler

Same here. Well i have a 5870 but still i really would like to have a 7970 with improved cooling and running @ 1300 speeds. That would be right up there with 590's and 6990's.

That wouldnt be so bad, SSJ are badass.

Look at Goku....

Dies and just escapes the afterlife, hes to strong to be held back (by the lesser beings that work the cues ect), returns to the liveing world = badass.

Wishes people back to life = badass

Has a cloud he can stand on, and fly with = badass
Lateron can fly himself = badass


energy blasts, energy spirit balls that beat nukes, able to teleport, moves faster than bullets (normal persons eyes cant track their speed), list goes on and on = badass


Now someone photoshop JHH with funny hair

 

[Nintendesert]

I'm hoping they give us something at CES about Kepler. I don't think they could surrender the whole event to AMD and their 7xxx parts.

Haha! Yea I just got Tapatalk for my iPhone that ranks tech forums based on popularity. Decided I would put this account to use. And you're right. The 295 is a beast. I have a ~35% over clock on it for when I play Battlefield 3 and other than no DX11 it's amazing. The only card that comes close to it afaik is a 580.

while the improved cooling would certainly help hit such speeds, I'm more interested in the larger aftermarket designs primarily to reduce noise, blower designs are prone to excessive noise and the current reviews reflect that - temps are right around a 6950 - which is good - but noise is amongst the highest under load.

 

[Arkadrel]

- but noise is amongst the highest under load.

Samples, some reviewers got cards made, with wrong thermal grease applied, and not placed properly on the chips.

Computerbase.de

manually took off the cooler, to find that was the case for them. They put on thermal grease and tempatures drop like 8 degree's celcius, and they where abit less noisy too.

How many reviewers noticed it? did Anandtech? who knows.... but some of the cards did have this issue.



before you say "no amd couldnt possible be that dumb when it comes to designing the card layout/cooling solution and putting it all together".

oh yes they can,,,, remember the launch last time? was it the 68xx or 69xx cards? where they couldnt fit the cooler/shroud on because the chip layout of the board was slightly off? and they couse to manually cut off parts of the power plug to make room? for the shroud to fit, in a last minuet fix to get cards out to review sites?.


Well.. this launch the guys that put it all together, made a mess with the thermal grease.
