Weapon's grade, lol

Maybe some of you can unravel this riddle:

0b1010110010
BT-7.080
G08-H86-A000
​

If you can’t then I will help you – 1010110010 in binary means 690 in decimal number system.

When is the 7990 expected? June? July? Nvidia is just killing Amd

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I still can not wrap my head around a $1000 graphics card.

How exactly when NVIDIA has only 1 GPU released after 7 series and usually out of stock?

I'd buy it if it offered quality like rendered trailers but not for more AA and resolution!

 

[Rvenger]

Also, why is everyone starting to put the 7970 in a bulldozer perspective? 7970 is a great card. And I was an owner of a GTX680.

Nvidia currently owns the fastest single GPU card and soon to be dual gpu card. Amd needs to lower prices more. 399.99 7970's please 😀

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I wonder if the 690 will at least be voltage unlocked? For $1000 I'd hope so.

 

[Don Karnage]

Has Nvidia stated how many power phase's will be on the 690?

There was a pic that showed 4 for each GPU core.

So you think AMD will lower prices because someone from marketing put a gfx in wodden box? - well it is the purpose, as they dont sell any cards in meaningfull numbers themselves, but dont have to high hopes 🙂

NV issue earning warnings, and at the same time all the fans celebrate. Are you masochistic?

Do i think amd will lower prices? Ofcourse not. They've enjoyed ripping us off for months and yes i am 😉

Some day a thread will exist that doesn't devolve in to pointless, time wasting, "hurray for my side" back and forths.

That day is not today, sadly. 🙁

5 per GPU.

 

[JAG87]

Wood. Wow.

For $1000 it should come in a platinum box with velvet lining.

I would love an explaination of said killing. THey have 1 card released that is a little bit faster at stock and equal when both are overclocked.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

At least stainless steel with a velvet lining, 7 games bundled with it, every possible connector needed, and even then it should not be over $899.

 

[Don Karnage]

equal when both are overclocked.

Could have fooled me 😉

 

[nitromullet]

Has the $1000 price tag been confirmed, or is that just total speculation? $800-850 seems more reasonable for the dual version of a $500 card IMO.

Yea usually it occurs in three posts or less..

Believe the CEO of Nvidia had announced 1000 would be the price which is bs. 849.99 would have been perfect.

 

[Olikan]

LOL, i predicted right XD

 

[Alaa]

5 per GPU.

Yeah lol. Must have missed that last phase while scrolling down. 😀

Could have fooled me 😉

Looks pretty equal to me for an NV optimized game.

 

[nitromullet]

Eek! Yeah, that's too much IMO. I'd rather have two GTX 680s for the same price.

Can't wait until a graphics card costs over $9000!
