He's probably Sexual Harassment Panda. He needs to keep busy after-all.😛

If true, the scores for the 480 and 580 are virtually the same. Since the 580 has a lower clockspeed does that confirm it's not based on the GF100 chipset? If it's based on the GF104 chipset I'd definitely be interested in one.
 
gtx580 @ 772mhz is beating a gtx480 @ 925mhz? If true, that is more than a 20% increase in performance. If all the leaked benchmarks regarding Cayman have truth to them, then the recent price war just started may end up lasting all the way to 28nm! 😀

I like price wars. :thumbsup: And all of this without Larrabee, too! If Intel ever gets involved in a serious way, with their process advantage... that's not even a fair fight. Can you imagine a situation where Larrabee is at 15nm while GloFo and TSMC are struggling with 22nm? I can. 🙂
 
I hope that HSF with the gaping hole in the shroud isn't the final design. It's hard to tell if the one with the plastic wrap is the same or not. Having those vents that dumped heat into your case and the back of your second card was sort of a problem with the 8800 GTX, and I don't see why they would re-visit that design.

I can't imagine Larrabee at any die size. Though I suppose vaporware can be thought of as being viable at any size. I hope Intel gets serious about 3d graphics just to push PC gaming as the premier venue instead of consoles.

That's my hope with the new CPU/GPU chips coming out from Intel and AMD.

Knights Ferry or whatever its called looks like Larrabee.

If you look carefully, those benchmarks are comparing a GTX480, overclocked 32% (925mhz up from 700mhz) to a stock GTX580 :biggrin: GTX580 does not have lower clock speeds.

I didn't notice that, still I'd be more interested in a card that was based on the GF104 chipset than the GF100. I really hope that is the case here.
 
Knights ferry is not Vapor ware give it up . After experiencing What SB igp can do . I much preferr intel to build off that . 12 EU is owning . I would like to see 100 eu on a discrete card.



If you say so. I'll take the Missouri approach and believe it when they show it.

Well it's likely a modified version different from both of those. I don't think Nvidia could get 30% better performance out of GF100 by enabling 32 more cores and bumping up the clock speed 10%. And it can't be a straight upscale of GF104 because GF104 had 36 shaders per cluster, and 36 does not go into 512 (if this part is indeed 512).
 
Glad to see this info along with knowing the 6970 is shortly on the horizon too, I'm hoping both get released in Nov and a yummy price war erupts. Great time of year for ol' scrooge to provide himself with a gift! Glad to see NVs next card info is leaking, hopefully not too far off.

To 'wag the dog' means to purposely divert attention from what would otherwise be of greater importance, to something else of lesser significance. By doing so, the lesser-significant event is catapulted into the limelight, drowning proper attention to what was originally the more important issue.
The expression comes from the saying that 'a dog is smarter than its tail', but if the tail were smarter, then the tail would 'wag the dog'. The expression 'wag the dog' was elaborately used as theme of the movie. 'Wag the Dog', a 1997 film starring Robert de Niro and Dustin Hoffman, produced and directed by Barry Levinson.




Your post has zero to do with the topic.
