xsistor, you've been around long enough to know, had CUDA been an AMD baby, then kylew would be all over it like Charlie Demerjian waiting for his next AMD pay cheque.

Coming from a renound nvidia troll, thats rich.

Cuda makes some valid points, less of the hate.

Strangely enough i doubt that anything i said was any less valid than anything he babbled, according to your definition of "valid points" at least.

Troll or not, he's hilarious

The thing i find hilarious is people's need to defend faceless companies to the end. Just get what works best for you, brand loyalty is ultimately retarded.

The problem for CUDA is not AMD, it is Intel, Apple, ARM, Qualcomm and the rest of the gang that will push towards a open standard or in any case not nVidia's standard. CUDA has got no chance IMO.

In 5 years it will be dead, feel free to revive this thread to prove me wrong

GTX590@607Mhz....

*Benchmark images*

The gaming performance doesn't seem to tie up at all with other sites that have shown the HD6990 vs the GTX580.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4209/amds-radeon-hd-6990-the-new-single-card-king/7

At the same settings (I have assumed that 1920x1080 on Anand is the same for the benchmarks shown above - they don't give ANY indication of settings so can only guess) Anand have shown the HD6990 to be 57% faster (89.4-56.9/56.9) yet on the benchmarks above it is only 27.8% faster (and producing MUCH lower framerates - heck Anand's minimum for this resolution is higher...).

I will wait for proper benchmark numbers I think.

For benchmarks coming from Nvidia themseleves those graphs don't fill me with a great deal of confidance that will wipe the floor with the 6990.

Exactly the same for me here. My last Nvidia card was the trusty old 8800GT, which I still have running in a secondary S939 rig.

GJ02 · 22 Mar 2011 at 13:39

24th ?

Ezyryder · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:03

The numbers did look a tad fishy. Guess we'll wait and see how it turns out.

Omega · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:26

If this is the "best" nvidia card ever made as the guy in the video claims. I can see a nice price tag for this

oulton · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:29

like all flagships, it just wont be that great...

Yeah big pinch of salt with them scores but it's the best I could find so far..

oulton · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:35

Price will be £699 I think!

bru · 22 Mar 2011 at 15:43

so according to the video it all happens at 6am PDT on the 24th, that is 1pm on Thursday i believe

Great, its fake Fermi guy come to tell lies again :rolleyes:

They have been working on the card for two years... Fingers crossed this is a non Fermi based card then, but I have a feeling the most interesting thing in that ammo box is his lunch.

RavenXXX2 · 22 Mar 2011 at 16:11

Great guy Tom. That box contains the fastest GFX card on the planet, roll on the 24th.
