AMD is undertaking its product development cycle at a breakneck pace, NVIDIA trailed it in the DirectX 11 and performance leadership race by months. This November, AMD will release the "Cayman" GPU, its newest high end GPU, the expectations are that it will outperform the NVIDIA GF100, that is a serious cause for concern, for the green team. It's back to its old tactics of talking about GPUs that haven't even taken shape, to try and water down AMD's launch. Enter, the GF110, NVIDIA's new high-end GPU under design, on which is based the GeForce GTX 580.

The new GPU is speculated to have 512 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs, and a 512-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 2 GB of memory, with a TDP of close to that of the GeForce GTX 480. In the immediate future, there are prospects of a more realistic-sounding GF100b "brute force" which is basically GF100 with all its 512 CUDA cores enabled, while retaining its 384-bit GDDR5 memory interface, 64 TMUs, and slightly higher TDP than that of the GTX 480.

New rumors GF110 bring yet another conversation, this should already be in production and ergo to the frequencies must be final. It is obvious that Nvidia Cayman counter XT - in whatever form, is unclear. The colleagues of the 3DC have a supportive statements usually reliable source with the potential data employed on, PHK has Expreview forum also details alleged scattered. Apparently goes Nvidia as with GT200 (b) the "brute force" way and relies on massive ROP Power: A monstrous 512-bit memory interface with 64 grid amplifiers are to it, this would primarily the memory bandwidth up pulling in ( the pixel fill GF10x hangs on to the shader multi-processors, no more of the ROPs!) and especially when using anti-aliasing processing power increase before. Even memory is the use of 2 GiByte GDDR5 so no problem, if Nvidia had thus bandwidth and VRAM monsters in the market dismisses one is questionable.

"brute force" :D
 
Hi,

At this point in time I can neither confirm nor deny this story but here at Nvidia we are always working on ways to improve our products to bring you the consumer the best value.

It was fairly obvious the Nvidia marketing machine would popup when ATI released Cayman.

From some maths I did way back the 512sp 480 won't be enough to beat what we expect from Cayman.

I doubt we will see a 580 anytime soon, apart from a wood edition of course

My PA does keep an on enthusiast forums like this one and I must say I object to some of the names I’ve been called over the years. Firstly my 'PR team' isn’t trained by the former Iraqi Information minister, my employees don’t call me ‘Dear Leader’ as if I’m somehow related to the leaders of North Korea (which by the way I’m of Chinese origin not Korean), I do know what I’m doing and have complete confidence in Fermi, I’m not this brutal dictator that people make me out to be and if you think I’m that bad to my competitors and associated companies just look at how Intel conducts itself.

Owww hes pretty good i give him that but if jen was on here however unlikely i would be more concerned about getting the customers back the you lost rather then names you been called on some forum....sticks & stones?

Is there any truth in the rumour that you have an ATI tattoo on your backside?
 
thats 500 w then :o , and cost of 1000 $ if they going make it 512 bit

Yea man, guaranteed to fail from the start, no matter what.

It will probably make people ill from all the heat and global warming will increase as a result. ;)

Seriously though, considering how much bad press the current nvidia gen got I was pleaseantly surprised in terms of noise/heat when I got a 470 (and my bro the 480), they were nowhere near as some had me believe. It got boring hearing all the lets cook some bacon and eggs jokes etc etc

I think my point is, I love the way some people are always really negative and cynical about anything and everything before any reliable facts are available.
