Fermi, could it be true(this time)

Please confine these topics to things that would be of general interest to those who are interested in FAH which don't fall into any other category.

When somebody says their new flagship product is xx% faster than the competition, it's a salesman talking -- and then when he refuses to confirm it, you know it's probably a lot of hot air. ;)

When somebody says their new flagship product is xx% faster than their own previous product, it's more likely to be true.

In either case, I can wait for the independent benchmark folks to review the product.

Again, marketing bullshit and no real numbers that could prove that's really a Fermi board ... :(

Note to nVidia : I'm ready to receive one of these board to write a review ... :mrgreen:

Yeah, i bet they've just taken G92+ - shrunk it again and cranked up the clock speeds. Would that make it a G92++ :lol: :lol:

They probably didnt even shrink it just renamed it and bumped the clocks up, they're good at that...
