nVidia GT300's Fermi architecture unveiled

whole report doesnt make me want to hold on too long to see its price/performance before giving in to the urge to get a 5870

TheRealDeal · 1 Oct 2009 at 02:11

Anandtech seem to believe that these cards will be out in q1/2010 so for anybody thinking about waiting it could be a long one but nothing concrete has been heard from nvidia yet.

Rumoured MSRP: US $549 - US $599

ouchie

Rumoured = We'll wait to see how much the 5870x2 is first

Rostam · 1 Oct 2009 at 02:53

fingers crossed for some resonable prices tbh 400+ is abit silly

I'm not a betting man but I'd serious consider 450+ if I had to save up...

Here's a lay man's guess: probably to do with native C++ support.

why reinvent the wheel? The CPU can already do C++ stuff, and CPU's especially quads are rarely maxxed out...

You know what, I miss the days when GPU's were comparable by how fast they ran. Im completely lost with all this shader and core stuff. CUDA cluster?....lol

JediFragger · 1 Oct 2009 at 03:36

You know what, I miss just GPU's

TBH it's looking like GPU's are now offering far more functionality than they used to. I totally agree - I didn't understand what nvidia were talking about, CUDA clusters in PC's eh? :confused:

£500+ i'm betting, and you've got to be nuts to buy a gpu for that price, especially with what you could get for that sort of cash.

A GPU would still destroy a quad, just look at Seti/Folding performance.

i have sympathy for people that bought the asus MARS gpu...what a complete waste of money after looking at this

If its faster than 2x 5870s i just might

Very doubt it. Nvidia are only claiming that it will be faster than a 5870. All the improvements have gone into other areas, not gaming performance.

Why? After reading anandtech's article the GT300 might be slower than the MARS card in games.

Rumoured to be $599 as well.

Could this just be the next 8800GTX
I orginally guessed at a price between £430 to £470, now I'm thinking a tad over £500
5870 fanboys arent a churpy this week as they where last lolz

I fail to see the point of your post? You are saying the Gt300 will be over £500 and this upsets £300 5870 owners how? :confused:
