MOAR TRANSISTORS!!! | |
Must... Suppress... Nerd-on... Uuuh! | |
That... That is fucking insane! I probably won't get one (my computer is more than powerful enough, thanks!), but I can't wait to see what this heralds for future development! | |
Wait, don't Macs use nVidia chips? Because if they start using that new one, it might start making the graphics suck less. | |
BRAAAAAAAGHHH!! Too much to take in! Sounds awesome! | |
What sort of memory will be on those things? 256Mb in a Geforce 8400 GT just won't cut it these days... | |
*Nerdgasms* | |
Three billion? Not enough. I want a trazillion. | |
That could be more transistors than molecules! | |
400% more awesome! Also, Nvidia doesn't make their graphics cards out of freakin' wood! | |
Someone is bound to come in and say "But can it run Crysis?"... | |
This is what I'm getting for my birthday. Also, 32x AA? Who the hell needs more than x2 or x4? | |
I think I just came buckets. Lemme check *checks the nether regions* hmmm.... *SPLOSH SPLOSH SPLOSH!* Yup. I want this baby for christmas alright. | |
I once made a circuit with 3 transistors and agree that 3 billion is quite a lot of transistors. I can't wait to see how good Braid and Dwarf Fortress look with 32x anti aliasing! | |
unfortunately, nothing can help the MACs suck less. | |
no 64x anti-aliasing? | |
Is it bad that I read that in Marcus' voice? OT: That's impressive. | |
Wow...I wish I knew more about computer chips then it might seem more impressive | |
...3 billions?! But holy shit! 3 billions! O.o | |
It's over NINE MIIIILLLLIONNNNN! Sorry. Bad joke. But in all sincerity, how expensive is a piece of electronics like that going to be? I'm sure its processing power is through the proverbial roof. | |
Braid already looks blurred because there isn't even a setting to change the resolution, I can't imagine how much worse it'll be with 32x anti-aliasing...
I don't get it either... Maybe people like blurriness? I prefer sharpness and higher frame rates; I must be crazy. | |
It could do to have a few more transistors, frankly. | |
I did that too before realizing I was reading a Marcus quote! | |
I'm building a new desktop soon so I'll probably snag this puppy. | |
If it took more than one pass to render all 300 trillion texels, then it wasn't an Nvidia! When do they start packing in the 3D goggles and transmitter? I'll save all my money to buy a 120hz TV just so I can watch Avatar on Blu-Ray and play Team Fortress 2 in "never-leave-the-house"-o-vision! PS: Hey Santa, I want one of these in my xbox! | |
no offense, but your about 3 months late with this news. nvidia announced a lot of this back shortly after the radeon hd 4800s came out. they also announced that the first boards WOULDNT be for the consumer sector, but rather for the workstation sector, an area nvidia doesent have a lot of market share with due to its limited line of products compared to its competitors.
likely not more than around $600. once these things get to production they arent very expensive to make, its recouping the r&d costs that makes them cost so much. but that aside, graphics cards are cheaper than theyve ever been. | |
remember! If it took more than one graphics card you weren't using an Nvidia. | |
that is a crap load mabie too much of a crapload | |
THREE BILLION! That's a lot more than...whatever the standard is. | |
I amazed....... *goes and digs bunker for eventual robot-takeover* | |
If we weren't talking a new generation of DirectX here I'd be happy. As it is, the GTX 295's will finally drop to a reasonable price, but still be behind the tech curve. 32x AA? Why? So I can lose 30% of my framerate and gain 0.003% more fuzziness? Sometimes I think they just arbitrarily invent new "features" with larger numbers than previously just because they can. Remember the 16/32/64 bit console wars? | |
Whew, can't wait to see the performance of these things compared to ATI's 5800 series, or ATI's response. Price drops all around! | |
Hmm, less than I imagined. If I ever need a new one though, I think I'll look for a cheaper one! :P | |

New Nvidia Chip Features 3 Billion Transistors
NVidia has announced some of the features for its newest line of graphics chips based on Fermi chip architecture.
NVidia's next line of GPUs is codenamed GF100 and is the first graphics chip that will utilize the Fermi chip architecture. nVidia has been releasing snippets of information on the new cards on Facebook and Twitter for the last few weeks, the last of which came out yesterday. The GF100 will support a new type of 32x anti-aliasing, which basically means the edges of objects in graphics will now look more awesome. Also, 3 billion transistors! By all accounts, that is a veritable crapload of transistors.
Here are all the nuggets of information on Nvidia's new graphics cards:
Note to nVidia: I want a GF100 for Christmas. Let's make it happen.
