New Fermi performance figures, legit or troll ?

His sig is "Dr. House uses nVIDIA, and you know what he says when you disagree with him."
I think that kind of says it all really.
I'm actually more sceptical of the 'Tegra 2 will be in absolutely everything' claims than the Fermi performance claims, really. There are plenty of other highly capable ARM cores than just Tegra (not to mention that vendors such as PowerVR are more capable in the milliwatts realm).
"GF100's maximum load temperature is 55 C."
Also that's guaranteed to be ******** because the temperature will differ based on ambient temperatures. Unless he means that's the temperature it crashes at?

especially how the NV Thermaltake cases have special cooling to keep temps down!
Also 148fps in Dirt 2?
is that at 1024x768
well at first i thought the same as most of you .......definatly just trolling...but after reading the whole thread that it was originally posted in, I'm starting to have few doubts about my initial assumption.
OK so the numbers seem a bit wild, but not to far beyond whats been hinted at before.
the only one that is really unbelievable is that temperature one

O RLY? Nvidia have only hinted that the Fermi "should be faster than a 5870" whereas 46% is more than "just faster"
Even on paper with the leaked fillrates, pixel fillrates and memory bandwidth the card won't be 40% quicker than a gtx295 as a lot of the figures are bearly a few percent faster unless there is some "magic" going on under the cover.
I would love it to be true though just to drop the prices of the 5 series cards although I would love know how you define "cheaper than a gtx295". Is that at current prices or original gtx295 launch prices?

Be surprised if they double the 295...

8% quicker than a 5970 on a smaller card, sounds ideal, to ideal....
However it is funny this soon as some good news comes out for the new NV cards its ment to be all ****e, but when the oppersite happens and performance is going to be poor everyone believes it.
