GF100 Fermi specs speculation at B3D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RdIrY6NYrM

Very impressive. Look at all the polygons around 3:00.

Edit: Wait, is that running on a single Fermi or SLI'ed Fermi's?
Edit 2: Watching the video again, at the beginning the guy says it's running on a single GPU. And I love the chickens @2:20.

My wish list for Fermi:


  • Better performance (given?)
  • Better AA performance
  • 100% load-based power handling
  • 2D clocks for 2D stuff
 
Have you ever seen The face of a real human pulling 3gs. I didn't see the accurate real world Physics in that demo that the speaker was talking about.Mechanicly or in any other form Thilanliyan, Is it really important to know who is who in that link . The guys are just having fun . Lets wait for Fermi to be released.
 
My 5870 can chew through max detail settings, but I *feel* limited to 2xAA. If Fermi will allow me 4xAA with max detail and solid framrates, I'm there..

23% faster than the 5870 is impressive. Prices will fall.

Ehh? 23% is what I'd consider the bare minimum 6 mmonths later to tell you the truth.

And prices won't fall because NV badly needs to recoup their enormous R&D costs - too bad, I would happily pick up a second 5870 for $200 or a 5970 for $400... 😀
 
ATI has plenty of headroom to move on price. Their chip is inexpensive. Their boards are cheaper to make (256 bus). GF100 is 50% bigger, very low yields, expensive boards. What i think will happen however, is nVidia price their cards slightly below 5970 regardless of the low performance lead on the 5870. nV has brand name recognition and TWIMTBP, physx on their side. This alone is worth an extra $50 price advantage for equal performance.
 
Better GUI/2D performance since MS is so hell bent on INSISTING that aero be enabled in Win7. 😡

"Feel?" how so? Framerates? At what resolution?

1920 x 1080. Games may bench well, but I'm sensitive to hitching, and notice it even with a 5870. Max detail and high AA, I notice it more. Seems less perceivable using lower AA. Memory size or bandwidth limitation?

Running an i7 920 @ 4.0 with Intel G2's in Raid 0. Access times and other system variables can't get much better so I dunno, more DDR5 on a wider bus with an equally (or more) powerful gpu? I'm willing to see..
 
Are the mainstream fermi cards speculated to come out at the same time as high end with that supposed march release?
