Hardly check mate... playing the die size card is always a sign of a last resort.

No one other than AMD fan boys actually care aslong as nVidia keep bringing up the goods.

Bringing the goods in this case meaning a badly leaking chip that isn't even fully functional?

check mate.....

love it!

Biggest nvidia fanboy spend his days and nightss on the 6870 thread.
:eek:

On 40nm there is no real arguement amd has the edge in design. I don't even think amd are pushing the boundaries with cayman tbh like nv did with g100. I think 28nm will tell us more about fermi though. If it flops again then it surely is a bad architecture and no nv fan can say other wise.

Depends what aspect of design your talking about, in terms of the most efficent use of the material process then AMD wins hands down.

Again it depends what you mean regarding bad architecture... the architecture design on paper is pretty good technical feature wise. If its not feasible to physically create it properly with the material process you have to work with then its a failure in that regard.

Yes its still a good card & that all that matters in the respect but a better design no way.

Its uses more resources in every way to achieve slightly better results.

A better design would use equal or less resources to perform better.

Thats just one way of looking at the design tho... theres much more to it than the purely material part of the design.

Such as? It achieves better framerates than the 5870 but at the same time it uses so much more to do it. If anything it proves amd's point of the "monolithic" chip flaws and why they decided to go in a different direction.

Yea the specs on paper for the original fermi looked very promising indead. Its just a shame they could not bring that card to the market so its a failure in that sense and yes i was referring to how efficient amd are atm.
