NVIDIA Engaged in PsyOps Against HD 7970: Chinese Forum

[erocker]

"So why is it that majority of users here have AMD cards now even crossfire and x2 models?"

Skipped the drivers issue I see. <sigh> same 'ol same 'ol

Anyway. Thanks for making my point. The Graphics Cards Battle isn't about who's best. It's about fan based loyalty. The same holds true with console-playing-weenies.

So, as a purportedly semi-intelligent monky would ask me... wtf?

What's next is the real ?

And?

I see no point to your post or how it relates to the topic of the thread. Keep on topic please.

Thanks!

 

[I blee it]

My apologies...I went on a blithering rant...now back on topic...Nvidia went on a rogue PsyOp according to a Chinese Forum? ummm wtf?

What if this is really happening so they can wash their hands and Bene is just a Nvidia undercover employee?

Or what if I work for AMD, god I need to get paid more money. Only a few hundred worth of hardware anymore, and feeling raped on the X1800XT.

this doesn't surprise me one bit funny my low post count but my join date is older than the op's

Nice.

Oh, me too!

Also, I don't think anyone actually believes AMD's latest card is supposed to compete with nVidia's top model. They went quite a bit smaller with the die size when they're already quite a bit smaller than nVidia's largest.

They're aiming for the best profits on mainstream, but since they released first they're raking in as much as they can as their mainstream card competes above current top-of-the-line cards.

Comon, guys. 6970 was quite a bit smaller than the 580 (389mm^2 vs 520mm^2). AMD knows that to take the performance crown from nVidia they'd need a bigger card. But they went down to 352mm^2 in the 7970. It's about margins in the mainstream and taking advantage of the quicker launch.

nVidia's GK114 will probably be right where the 7970 is, maybe quicker, maybe slower. The GK110 will definitely roll right over it. But they'll both make quite a bit of money this round as they're going to control different parts of the market.

+1 here which is why I think that the 6 billion transistor rumour of Kepler's high end card is a possibility.

I propose all transistor counts be done by a an indipendent third party

well we already know amd can't count

 

[wahdangun]

so anyone ever heard of nvdia focus group ?

What rock did you crawl out from? Seriously though, I've been TPU's motherboard reviewer(and now ram) for a little over a year now.

i say that nvidia wants to stop the rumours so they don't have to meet high expectations...
BTW the rumours about bulldozer were true if you overclock it like crazy(on phase change, or arctic room temps, or ln2 (LOL) while it is unreasonable to do that, it is still true. )
whereas these nvidia rumours are crazy because they are purely wishful thinking... YES I want a 300 dollar gpu the power of an 580. a 580 is fast enough!.

i'm hoping that the 7990 is 850..

the problem nvidia has a better driver staff, whereas amd has a better hardware design staff...

Of course I know cadaveca; He reviews motherboards and ram for the Techpowerup website. I just didn't know your name was Dave!
