Nvidia Is Happy With The Performance Of Fermi

I'm not sure why you all seem to feel so threatened by my opinion...

Why do you bother posting lol?

OpenCL will replace CUDA as a medium for passing calculations to the GPU.

We don't yet know what will replace PhysX, it might be Havok though.

It should be Havok.

ideal would be for physx to be made true open standard but just cant see nvidia doing that.

Just as well that isn't the site we're all at isn't it?

nVidia's mentality of late reminds me of hitlers last hours in the bunker... intel just don't "get" the gaming market... no matter how much money they throw at it they will not succeed unless they are prepared to buy up a company like matrox or nVidia that do and let them have a reasonable amount of say, backed up by intels experience.

I wouldn't even put it past intel to weaken nVidia by proxy and then swoop in when they are down.

They remind me a lot of 3DFX. They too had aging tech and a monster almost out, but it was too late. The question is whether Nvidia can release a card which delivers on the performance and value fronts and they do it in time.

Now *that* would be funny & karmical

Bad for us consumers though lol

Fermi isn't strictly aging tech tho... this is one of the points I'm trying to make... it was engineered to be ahead of the generation we are at now - they expected the 200 series refresh to be able to go up against the 5800 and missed the game. Fermi is still very much in its game... unless they do slip and can't make March 2010... then they are gonna have to start worrying about how to get extra performance from it... tho personally I think once the 40nm issues are ironed out implementing it on a new shrink won't be as problematic as this round.


3dfx on the other hand would be like nVidia trying to flog the GeForce FX series now against the 5800... it was still stuck on brute force rasterisation when the rest of the industry had moved onto T&L, shader pipelines, etc.

Originality at its finest.
