I still think its a load of hype to keep the nVidia fan base dreaming and waiting instead of moving onto the red side, those temps seem way way way off, until OCC, OCN G3d SOMEONE reputable does a full testing of this sucker on Stalker, Crysis, Farcry2, MW2 etc etc THEN it is worth something...NV has been rebranding cards since the 9 series, and for some reason, i think it will still appy with a few minor tweaks, nV has zero respect in my books for pretty much tricking the general public theyre getting a newer better card... but then again, i could be wrong and i will gladly eat these words come CES

And for the record, i DO agree with crowns points

Cost and release date of these, Rajha?

Will be building a new rig come summer. Few of these in SLI will murder everything I presume?

These still fall under Business NDA I guess?

Though, waiting for summer seems to be good idea.

That's the problem with fanboys. They are so wrapped up in their fandom they can't imagine why anyone who owns one of their cherished fan favorites would ever talk about anything else.

And in case you miss the sarcasm - there's nothing wrong with owning an ATI card AND talking about new nVidia products.

If everything goes as normal, the new nVidia cards will be priced at the upper end and AMD will rule the mid to low end.

Aye. He can't release it until THEY release it, otherwise... well, he might get a suit. A lawsuit.

Also, I know what I'm getting for my 18th birthday.

(note: I just realized that says GF104, not GF100, I have changed it as that was a typo)

So what you're saying is... A non-standard method of cooling was used to achieve that temperature? If so then why even state a temperature? I'd rather see info of a factual reading in a normal kind of set up, than some special, crutch set up to falsely improve the results.

As for the rest of your info... It seems interesting, but i'll wait till when(or rather, 'if' at nvidias current pace) i see it on the normal tech sites before getting excited. Not that i doubt you, per se. Just i'd like to see it from more sources to back it all up.

On another/related note: i hope this new series of cards will finally put an end to nvidia's ruthless rebadging of the g8x/g92 that they've been doing for years.

What about multiple monitor support (more than 2) on a single card like ATIs dual DVI and displayport.

I'm trying to hold out for the new NVIDIA cards but the Eyefinity tech is just too good to pass up! So good, I'm about to drop $1400 on a set of 3 new displays just for it!

Ah OK.

Prob end up waiting for the inevitable 1GB cards anyway. They'll see me through a few years.

Now another question - Will these cope with dual 50" tv/monitors at max resolution?

Elder III · Jan 06, 2010, 12:51 AM // 00:51

a 46% avg. boost in framerates is pretty danged impressive...... maybe I'll be able to afford one in 5 yrs.

Haven't been on these forums for a couple of months and had forgotten how much Rahja can make me laugh. Good to see you are still on form, mate.

On topic...... erm I got nothing sorry. :S

RotteN · Jan 06, 2010, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Nice, can't wait for March to arrive now

The promised numbers look impressive, to say the least.

Good luck with your 2nd degree (I'm doing mine during work, should've taken some time off as well xD).

Tostie_146 · Jan 07, 2010, 10:45 AM // 10:45

as you say the technical NDA has been removed. i wonder what kind of cooling they used to get those temps. imo its should only be possible with liquid metal, liquid cooling, a 100% running fan or a advanced type of Vapor-X cooling. any other technice would seriously overprice the card.

what im finding funny is that everybody thinks that Cryengine 3 runs DX11, its never stated hinted at or anything like it. the release announcement never stated DX11 while that could mean extra money from licensees. you think they hide the DX11 fact only to say it licensees i doubt it. so im pretty sure crysis 2 doesnt support DX11... yet..

EternalTempest · Jan 12, 2010, 06:19 AM // 06:19

I really dislike when ati goes to 10.1... and nivida drags it feet causing developers to sometimes avoid the .1 to save money.

Look at how Assasin Creed was 10.1... and the patch reverted it to 10.0 (which magically made nvidia cards seem much better)

Same thing been happening with DX 11, downplay it because they have/had lack of product.

I'm not saying the GF100 is going to bad, or could lack greatness, but waiting on more reviews.
