Fermi Coming to Laptops in June?
- Thread starter WC Annihilus
- Start date
I can see it now:
July 1st, 2010 - Ski resorts have now made an official law concerning Fermi based laptops. According to sources vacationers that often bring their laptops with them are now banned from taking them anywhere outside of their resort rooms. According to records 2 avalanches have occurred already because of the heat produced by the integrated GPUs from NVIDIA.
One victim had this to say, "I didn't really think it would do any harm. My laptop was getting really hot to the touch so I put it on a blanket on the snow. Next thing I new the snow started shifting and I was tumbling down with it."

hehe we're still hanging onto this hot tag ic. Wouldn't blame you, there's little press about how they're hitting 90 @ 850+.

I actualy have a mate who got one and i had to go arround and fix his system. I would have never of though on my life how hot these realy were untill i saw it with my own eyes.
We had to get him a new case and go water cooled with the PC. That to me is stupid.I have never in my life recommended some one go water cooling just because there GPU got hot. well no this hot any way. The temp inside his case was 70c , the temp on the GPU was 99c. that was a complete and totally utter piss take.
the temps were taken with a laser temp moniter as well. so god know what it was realy putting out on the core it self.

The card will crap out @ 105. So u got about 6 degrees b4 making a decision, which if the case is currently rocking @ 70 internally, it will get worse in the summer. 70 internally leads me to think the case is not exhausting.
I take it this is without the bios upd8 or even a voltage tweak ? Retail cards are hitting 90 with the tweaks and oc, so I have no idea wtef is going on with ur m8s. Don't cut the fan down either, u have to put up with the stupid hurricane noise !

Tbh if it was on Auto fans it shouldnt have got to 99c. I met with Nvidia Tuesday evening in London and heat and noise dont seem to be high on their "what enthusiasts want" list.
We did have some good banter mind, Im still in the school of thought that this is just the start.

I think that whilst the fans should control the heat, they are going to be a bit limited by the temperature of the air they take in. Because of the exposed heatsinks, the case is going to heat up, and most people will be rocking air cooling or in case water cooling, so the temperature in the case can only go up.
I guess in 6 months time there will have been a die shrink maybe, or else the 512 core version of these cards is just going to kill itself in five mins of gaming.

Nothing had been touched on the system guys. this was a simple normal guy Buying a card and slotting it in. No tinkering and no messing and just normal drivers installed. So as far as we are all concerned this is a normal standard guy not a gaming freak or over clocker.
i was asked to go around due to cut outs while game playing (normal issue of Not enough duce in the power supply to support the card) but after looking though his whole system i told him he needs to change alot of his stuff to support such a beast. I only took my thermal monitor with me because he told me what GPU he had bought and i what'd to see its thermal temps for my self.
Ive been in this game for along time now as quite a few of us have and i honesty think the design of the cards and the heat out put is just ridicules. I normally am a fan on Nvidia (im sure i can back that up with all the gear ive bought over the years) and 99.9% of my GPU gear has been Nvidia but after what ive seen, after what i have read i have changed my mind about there new products and wont be buying any thing like this or recommending it to any one who asks.

Bottom line afaic, if u advise some1 to get a 480 and whilst playing their game it sounds like a hoover is being used in the room - it doesn't matter how fast the rendering or quality is - ur gonna look silly.
Whereas u can get to buy a 5870, that I've only experienced 1 bad cooler on, and it'll do 10-30 fps less BUT we're talking about being over 100 fps on average Joe's monitor resolution on an average game in any case.
By the time Dx11 becomes more common place, 6870s will be on the market and 485 or 580s will be on the market (with still loud coolers I'm sure). Programmer's barely know what to do with tessalation atm as it is.

Well if your buddies ambient inside the case is 70c, then holy hell batman! Tell him to upgrade that case fast and get some airflow in there. If the card gets 20c above ambient in general then of course it's going to get to 99c no problem. Even my 260s would get that hot if I didn't control the case ambient temperature...
Your friend needs a Corsair Obsidian 800D with all fan slots on the top of the case filled with decent fans and replace the bottom fan with a high CFM fan because the fans that come sith the 800D are poor for moving air. I have an 800D and I will be getting four high CFM fans for it then upgrade to two GPU's. Saying that my GTX280 is 5celcius cooler in the 800D than it was in the Antec P190 I had. Morale of the story is if your going to buy a High powered GPU then you need lots of air blowing through your case.
On the fermi on laptops. I have a five year old laptop with an ATI X600 in it and it gets real hot playing any type of game its capable of playing. I would love to change the GPU in this laptop but I dont think the laptops cooling would be able to cope with it. My laptop is the Sony VAIO VGN-A317M (Single core CPU lol).

name='Santa-san' said:Fermi in laptops just don't seem possibleIf you want to do anything with that laptop, you will have to head over to the local supermarket and ask if you can sit in their walk-in fridge.
And have an icecream while you're at it
Im sure if you bolt air conditioning to the laptop it wont get too hot lol.

If u've used any mbp b4 u'll know even with the cheapest of versions, u can sizzle bacon on them - especially between the keyboard and screen.
Maybe Apple just look for the mobile graphics solution of the generation with the hottest verdict ?!?
Asus Fermi runs well mind. Perhaps Apple and the aluminium is the key.
