nVidia GT300 - GeForce GTX 380 yields are sub-30%

They were always going to include it but they will play it down until they are in a position to implement it in their cards and get them on sale. Typical nvidia tactic of dismiss anything they cannot provide until they can and then hype it up as they have implemented in some better way :rolleyes:.

if this card ever drops to 500 quid then i'm getting it........sod DX11, it's not needed.....you can barely tell the difference, plus i doubt many future games will be DX11............will it drop to 500 quid ?................never :D:D:D:D

Why not just buy two GTX 285 cards for far less money....:confused:
 
December launch ?

In the second half of October, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang will travel to TSMC headquarters in Hsinchu, Taiwan to discuss contract prices for 40nm GPU chip production. In addition, he will be making the trip to meet with the company’s motherboard and graphics AIB partners.

Discussions will be held with TSMC chairman Morris Chang regarding full-scale 40nm production. Meanwhile, Jensen will also be checking up on the current 40nm yields, which TSMC claims have risen from 30 percent to 60 percent in July.

Interestingly enough, Digitimes is reporting that Jensen will check up on the company’s long anticipated high-end GT300 GPU, which it says is expected to launch in December. As we have reported several times, Nvidia’s hopefully redesigned GT300 architecture is expected to launch in late Q4 and more specifically before the end of the year. Several sources have been claiming November to be the launch month, but it should be noted that Jensen has command over this decision and he could very well put the chip launch in December.

Even if something goes wrong, Nvidia will still show its hardware in late Q4 2009 just as they did with the Geforce GTX 295 dual-GPU and ship it in early Q1 2010. If this is to be the case, then the highly anticipated flagship GT300 dual-GPU card would likely make its way into retail channels during CES. All in all, let’s hope for Black Friday season launch on this one.

December launch or nvidia letting on that they will release in december to try and stop some ati sales. My money is on the latter given the number of rumours\reports of trouble with gt300 yields.
 
the bloody card is up and running......... they're waiting to see how powerful the 5800 X2 is, just in case theirs needs tweaking.
 
the 5870 is more powerful than the GTX 295, the 5870 x2 even more so, so the GTX 300 has to be bloody powerful, unless we're getting a GTX 300 X2 as well.

because my guess is, the GTX 300 will be somewhere between the 5870 and the X2.

but if you want to stay ahead of the competition, this tells me that they will need a GTX 300 X2 as well, because if not; the 5870 X2 wins hands down, depending upon prices of course!

it looks like Nvidia might have made a **** up......i'm only speculating though
 
I don't see the GT300 being between the 5870 and the 5870X2 - the 5870X2 spec wise is competitive against the GT300 but its reliance on crossfire will hold it back a bit.
 
Nvidia did say they where confident the GT300 could beat the 5870, obviously they cant exactly comment on the X2 but we can make some type of guess about the X2 performance, atleast going by how the 4870/4870x2 went. I believe nvidia also said they where working on an x2 version of the GT300 pretty early on.

Am not entirely convinced about the 300 personally, although it be silly to disregard it at this stage.
 
I can not see nvidea being able to bring out a card that is 3 times faster than there current high end gtx285 its never been done and i can't see it this time either unless its a gx2. That is what they would need to do to to have a single gpu card to match the 5870x2.
 
I'd have to double check but off the top of my head the GT300 has 40% higher texture fillrate than the raw X2 specs, similiar pixel fillrate and while the X2 edges it on gflops thats the peak performance whereas the GT300 is sustainable performance so it would win there in most cases by a reasonable margin (about 30-40%) - without the reliance on multi GPU rendering to get the full performance.

If we actually see that performance brought to the table or not is another matter... but I'd hazard on it being so if nVidia want to stay in the game.

285GTX is 1062.72 GFLOPS - on paper the GT300 spec if they roll it out as the current high end part is pencilled up - manages almost 3800 GFLOP. Tho thats just one part of what makes up the performance - other areas like fillrate aren't as big an advance but should still manage a significant improvement over the 285... but fillrate isn't really an area nVidia has to worry about against ATI - the current 200 series is almost as fast in that regard as the 5800 series.

Are you privvy to some insider info that the rest of us aren't? There's zero facts about the card available to the general public, so you are either speculating or at best making a rough guess.
 
I really dont know which card to upgrade to next, I had planned on switching over to ATI this time round, but if these specs are right, this card sounds really tempting tbh..
 
Unless you have _deep_ pockets, I'd suspect that buying a 5870 now and a second one for crossfire down the line is the most cost effective move forward.
