As much as I dislike the inquirer, they have a valid point here. Things aren't looking good for nvidia. Seems as though they peaked a couple of years ago doesn't it!
All I can say is, I hope Fermi is worth the wait, though I'm really doubtful it will be, and even if it is, it'll be overpriced.

Yay ! Let's show we have no clue by linking to TheInquirer.
The first sentence I thought immediately, but for obvious reasons related to the thread and not the product.
The last sentence is pretty applicable too.
Again, if we bring our heads out of our anti-nvidia-arses, if the card was released as a GT380 - u have a rebranding reason to cry, a reason to say this card is something it aint.
Get used to it, the previous generation has already seen that when a 'new' product is bound for the shelves, or in this case oem, the card will be named with a number applicable to where it lies within the current generation. We've already done this with the 200 series names, and the 100 series if we cared to post about it at the time - most of us understood it and weren't looking for epic sound-bites, bandwagon jumping or just trying to look stoopid for stoopid's sake.
OMG shock - it's labeled a 310 !!!! x1x lies where in the 300-399 numbering system ? oh it's right at the bottom... what we think it's going to be good at ?
Bit of common sense ? Aye ?
What exactly IS happening with OC3D over the last so many months ? It's gone very unprofessional.

Its not unproffessional Rasta, we just are very aware of your green tint glasses.
We mearly linked to an article thats running everywhere else. Please note its only you that got funny. We were ROFL'ing in london when we found that article and you replied exactly as we knew you would.
The point of the link is...... YET ANOTHER rebrand from Nvidia. old tech new name....

While the article sounds like it was written by someone who doesnt like nvidia, it has a point, its the same card judging by the specs, same clock/core/memory etc.
Fair play to them saying it will have the DX11 feature set, but on a card with the power it is, it seems a bit pointless

It supports DX11, it's a different card. The article just doesn't wanna admit Nvidia aren't all bad.

Yeah it is, very much so.
And the part that will be increasingly seen, that is the most worrying, is not the fact that ur trying to make a case for this being myself having green-tinted glasses - which is quite the contrary, as most sensible members will realize - but that u are completely outing urself as wearing red-tinted glasses. In my eyes it's all well and dandy being that way, but extreme to promote it as part of, and including, an official capacity.
It's one thing for members to receive biased advise from other members, but a biasedness (think I just invented that word) from an official isn't heathly. Especially surrounding advice and a 'lean'.
I, and millions of others, would be ROFL'ing at TI's article for it's inherent sadness for what it is. What u don't want is for people to be ROFL'ing at OC3D.
When it comes to my own gear Im openly a red tinted man and hold my hands up. When it comes to stating the facts if ATI had done what Nvid are doing you would be straight on the same road I am.
Forgetting the colours Rast you have to admit if Nvid dont get things sorted quickly they are in the brown stuff big time. If they get it sorted awesome, all the prices will drop and I hope they do, means more cards for me to play with. There just something in the back of my head saying they may have bigger eyes than their belly.

As far as nVidia are concerned, I made a case the year b4 last (I think), that it looks to me as if they have no feeling as to competition.
Not because it's sensible or anything, but just the feeling of their holding back abilities.
I still think right now that even if 'Fermi' could do 200% what the latest AMD offering can do, they would chop it to some meagre %, just to get on top and sit there. Make some cash and release the GT4xx series a year later with merely tweaks. Just cos they can.
It's not good for tech, but it's the world we live in unfortunately. nVidia have processors that Intel can't compete with, and that's worrying still.
Have had that nagging feeling since the ability to release and sell in high quantities the 9xxx series.
These guyz are recording massive profits for the end of 2009 without a major release - now that is worrying for the presumed competition.

Well the things Ive heard is "you try getting all this to work at the same time in this package its a F'ing nightmare"
Deffo not a case of 200% yet. And we all know the yeild problems so its not going to be going anyfurther till they can sort a more reliable process.
Even Intel have Yanked larabee for now........

Yield problems or issues are, as the yanks would say, a bunch of boloney.
It's sites like TI that generate such rumors and badly transl8 quotes from ceos to try and qualify that reasoning. Such as that guy supposedly saying Fermi will be delayed, when infact all he said was that their financial figures for the end of the year would not be influenced by Fermi (i.e. not artificially boosted) as it wouldn't be out. Way to mis-quote and transl8.
The wafer producers, imo, are not having any issues being as they're rotating wafer a heck of alot smaller for Ti and already outputed (just invented another word) for AMD.
What I read into that and their own great looking financial releases, is that it's more a case of them holding out for more cash and contractual issues. Again that my opinion reading between the news lines and not just regurgitating rumors.
200% was ofc an exaggeration to put over a point.

In addition to the rumours, here you go:
nVidia GF100/Fermi SLI-powered Maingear PC pictured
12/8/2009 by: Theo Valich - Get more from this author
Continuing to raise hype about the upcoming launch of their first NV100-class hardware for the consumers, nVidia's Twitter page posted an image of Tom Petersen, Director of Technical Marketing showing his latest baby - a Maingear SHIFT machine powered by an Intel Core i7 processor, 6 or 12GB of Kingston DDR3 memory and two GeForce GTX 300-series cards paired together in SLI mode.
Tom Petersen, Director of Technical Marketing at nVidia shows his new rig: presumably a Dual GTX380-powered Maingear SHIFT X58 machine
Continuing to use more codenames for one architectural part than the number of "CUDA cores", the Twitter status cited the following quote: "Fun Photo of the Week: Tom Petersen, Director of Technical Marketing at NVIDIA, proudly showing off his new Maing".
But unlike the Twitter post that was cut by the 140 character limitation, the GeForce GF100 boards aren't longer or shorter than their predecessor - according to nVidia, the upcoming GeForce GTX 300-series boards are identical length as their previous flagship, GeForce GTX 280 at 10.5 inch [26.7cm].
Closeup of the two GF100-based cards shows there isn't a lot of room for air, but thanks to vertical positioning, should not be a thermal challenge for the system
As a sidenote, there are two rumored boards, GeForce GTX 360 and GTX 380, even though nothing has been finalized yet [clocks are still being finalized at the moment]:
All in all, if you belong to nV camp, January can't come soon enough. If you sit firmly in the AMD's Radeon camp, you'll be happy to know that AMD is also preparing an answer in the form of super-charged Radeon 5870, probably carrying the name HD 5890. This will be hot as always, and with Intel out of the picture for at least 2010 and 2011, these two giants are everything that 3D industry has.
Do note that with the release of GeForce GTX 300 series, nVidia should release a driver that enables 3D Vision on SLI systems as well.

YAY finally, things might start to get more interesting.

Now let's hold our horses and remember that aside from the nice cheesey pics of the Apple-loving guy - any number of us could have written that article ourselves. Especially entering guess work numbers from the wiki that aren't possible due to architectural differences, and the presumptions made.
1 thing I would say, I'd like to get one of those cases to play with for a bit.
Lasher what u having driver probs with ?
