No it's not....i'm trying to read it after getting up from a night shift.
Then go have a coffee/tea/drink or something to eat and wake up before reading?.
Thanks dad....you must be 60 years old as i'm 40.

Uh Oh Nvidia fans, Charlies back pedalling.........
All of the benchmark numbers shown by Nvidia, and later to SemiAccurate, were overwhelmingly positive. How overwhelmingly positive? Far faster than an AMD HD7970/Tahiti for a chip with far less die area and power use, and it blew an overclocked 580GTX out of the water by unbelievable margins. That is why we wrote this article. Before you take that as a backpedal, we still think those numbers are real, the card will achieve that level of performance in the real world on some programs.
The problem for Nvidia is that once you venture outside of that narrow list of tailored programs, performance is likely to fall off a cliff, with peaky performance the likes of which haven’t been seen in a long time. On some games, GK104 will handily trounce a 7970, on others, it will probably lose to a Pitcairn. Does this mean it won’t actually do what is promised? No, it will. Is this a problem? Depends on how far review sites dare to step outside of the ‘recommenced’ list of games to benchmark in the reviewers guide.
Key note here is those 'optimised games'.......
Oh come on now who actually believed Charlie when he said a $299 which had lower power consumption, smaller die size that was going to blow the 7970 out the water?
Oh come on now who actually believed Charlie when he said a $299 which had lower power consumption, smaller die size that was going to blow the 7970 out the water? Just apply some common sense to the stories these B.S internet troll sites (Bright side of News, Fudzillia, S.A, nordichardware, Expreview etc) come out with and reality will soon follow.
Summary of rumours in thread so far:
1.)The first Kepler models will be released in either late February,or late March/early April or June 2011
2.)It will be faster than an HD7970,as fast as an HD7970,slightly slower than an HD7970 or slightly faster than an HD7950
3.)It will be priced around the same level as a lower end GTX570 or higher end GTX560TI or priced higher
4.)It will either have additional hardware for PhysX or not
5.)It will have a higher TDP than an HD7950 or a lower one
6.)Nvidia is not worried about GCN or is worried about GCN
7.)The GPU being released first is meant to be smaller than the Tahiti GPU used in the HD7900 series
Sounded to me like Kepler is going to be unbelievably faster in a physx enabled game but in any other game they will be slower than an AMD equivalent.
Please don't make me reject Kepler on moral reasons. "May the better man win" unless they are found to be cheating and the result is overturned...
in games Nvidia will make Wall street look like Ghandi
long winded tripe and fanboys who love reveling in an underclocked 7970
it's not under clocked, its how AMD designed and built the card, you can't blame that one on anyone else apart from amd
No you never, you blamed "the fan boys".
