nVidia : Annoucement Monday morning, 9am PST

[Rent]

I follow nV on Facebook and they just threw up a post saying a big announcement is coming. Anyone heard anything or know of when more NDAs lift?

Big Bang III! Fermi is actually already out and running in your computer. Go check!

Seriously, though, I wonder if it will be Fermi related. I can't imagine it would be good news about the release date, but who knows?

 

[Paratus]

I predict JHH will come out and perform "I'm a little tea pot".


Seriously I hope we get some real info. I'm getting tired of all the rumors.

I doubt they would call something a "major announcement" if it was bad news. Companies just don't (willingly) do that.

 

[tviceman]

It's going to be release date and pricing info. And perhaps they'll say when "Fermi Day" aka the reviews, will hit the web.

 

[WicKeD]

I have a feeling it's going to be about the dates for availability and pricing of Fermi... Then not far behind is the lift of the NDA.

Damn tviceman beat me to it

"WE SCREWED UP, FERMI WILL NOT BE RELEASED

Our old, rebranded crap is still for sale, buy buy buy!"

 

[TheRickRoller]

I have a feeling that this announcement will announce another announcement in 3 weeks time, which will announce another announcement in 3 weeks time, which %loop until fermi is ready% will announce fermi's release date.

Maybe they'll announce how awesome PhysX and Cuda is again? :awe:

Hahah! Thanks for the laughs.

Yep, surely something nice for them. The question is.. also for us?

"the 8800 outperforms the 5970 in Physx enabled games"

 

[WelshBloke]

I think they are going to wish me a happy 40th birthday.

Probably not, but we will......"Happy Birthday Bloke!"

 

[WelshBloke]

Probably not, but we will......"Happy Birthday Bloke!"

I <3 my 285, but the way they're playing their customers right now is downright shitty.

Fermi will offer 2x performance in Bus Fighter Online, Featuring Epic Beard Man!

 

[tweakboy]

LOLOL this is too funny. Woah, didn't know Bus Fighter Online performs better then a 5970. 2x performance over 295 series wow.

I know it's not all about shaders but ATI has 1500 of them on their top card. nVidia has 512 with their furbie fermi whatever they call it. soo ya we need benchmarks on this one.

Fifthed. (see replies below) And you get one day off for each of them (that's 5 days, counting mine) - you've already had 2 threads locked about this nonsense & have been corrected numerous times. -Admin DrPizza

Tweakboy, you have been told over and over that
A) There is no ATI part with 1500 shaders and

B) Nvidia shaders and ATI shaders are different and do not scale on a one to one basis.

Can we please re-ban this troll?

 

[SunnyD]

I think the announcement is gonna go something like this:

Why are we trying to make Fermi when people are still paying obscene amounts of money for old product?
