It must be better than 295.

Looks like a monster card ! The cooling alone is a masterpiece... And it comes at an amazing price point ! ATi beware, you have met your match !

 

[sliderule]

lol

 

[v8envy]

From the image that looks like a product name typo -- that looks for the world like a low profile 210.

I didn't see the pricing though.

 

[Wreckage]

Wow, they really must have done something amazing with the A3 stepping. It's not only cheap but appears to have very low power usage and low heat judging by the cooler.

 

[gigahertz20]

Wouldn't that be the bad ass thing if a video card could have that low of profile and still be kick ass. Maybe when when get to like 1nm transistors.

wut!? no sli? finally proof that NV intends to rely on hydra for all future multi-card configs!

(you heard it here first folks, lets see how long before it shows up elsewhere j/k)

They fooled us all and went with a 1nm process. There are 20 GPUs on that card....

 

[T2k]

Well... that's a killer price!

 

[Clinkster]

I ordered 10 of these without question.

 

[A554SS1N]

lol good find.

Woah there... not 12 wth?

 

[Wreckage]

This makes no sense, look how much the 5800s are going for on eBay. D:

I knew they couldn't stop w/ the rebadging but the turn around on this one is still surprising.

If the market rewards the business for using the marketing tactic, then can you blame the business for giving the market what it responds to?

Look at tomorrow's "black friday" sales with all the limited-stock door prizes used just to generate foot-traffic. People die in the stampedes, but people go and create a large enough mass (foot traffic) that stampedes are actually possible. So they (the businesses) do it again because people won't amass outside their stores without those limited-stock door prizes.

 

[IlllI]

thats kind of a crappy analogy. i expected better from you

 

[gszx1337]

I ordered 10 of these without question.

Why ten, when it could be 11?

If the market rewards the business for using the marketing tactic, then can you blame the business for giving the market what it responds to?

But if the business is using marketing tactics to confused consumers who do not spend hours researching products, then can we as consumers not blame the business for harming our fellow less well informed consumers?

I think its all about your point of view, personally I make a distinction between understanding a decision, agreeing with a decision, and liking a decision, neither is mutually exclusive.

However, while there are many of nVidias decisions that fall into the category of decisions I understand but do not like, product naming really isn't something I can be bothered to care about, if they want to disappoint customers who 'upgrade' (8800 -> 9800), then it will let that be their problem.

Haha, hawt deal y0!

Hey, Wreckage, wow, wouldn't have expected you to participate in joking about nVidia

Releasing a 3xx card, except that it's yet another rebadge. At least, it didn't have a spectacular launch event where nVidia proclaims "Finally, we are releasing the new 300 series!".

 

[soccerballtux]

Will 8x bottlneck it???

 

[zagood]

Can't decide between...

- Can it play Crysis?
or
- Shipping kills it for me.

 

[jvroig]

- Can it play Crysis?

The GeForce 310 walks all over crysis. It's clearly time to upgrade everyone's GTX285's and 295's. It's even priced to sell like hotcakes. Clearly, this holiday season will be yet another nVidia moneymaking season, while ATi products, like the craptastic 5870, will certainly sit on the shelves gathering dust. Only the biggest ATi fanatics won't realize nVidia has once again trumped the best ATi has to offer with the introduction of the GeForce 3xx.

I burst out laughing when I saw the monster of a video card the GeForce 310 is. lol
