Of course Ati is going down percentage wise, they would need to sell some 25 times more DX11 cards than Nvidia to maintain their current 96% DX11 (steam) marketshare
Hey, i was just responding to the 5970 uses 2x 5870 chips, no it doesn't, yes it does, no it doesn't, etc conversation with a "no it doesn't" of my own :P
This thread (or what it was in the beginning anyway) reminds me of the Pentium 4 in a way. It too needed a lot of Mhz over what it was...
But are we absolutely sure that the 5970 uses the exact same chips as the 5870 or is there binning involved? Just because the only difference between two chips is the clock speed doesn't mean that they're identical and that the lower clocked part can attain the same frequency as the higher...
Just a heads-up for all those CS5 related comments: only Premiere Pro CS5 will use CUDA. After Effects and Photoshop will still be using only OpenGL so there's no advantage to using a GeForce card there.
Only Premiere Pro uses CUDA, Photoshop is still using just OpenGL. Also, Adobe said that they wanted to implement OpenCL but it wasn't ready for prime time when they started working on CS5 so i wouldn't be surprised if they switched to OpenCL for CS6
That's only for the video applications, Photoshop CS5 will most likely remain OpenGL only. They have to rewrite everything for Photoshop CS5 to be able to add 64bit support for macs so i doubt they'll have time to implement either OpenCL or CUDA this time around. Also, the only reason why they...
under normal circumstances, sure, i'd too say that dual fermi would beat 5970. The problem is that 300W barrier, will fermi have enough performance\watt to beat 5970 considering all that GPGPU stuff on it?
wrong, Photoshop uses OpenGL so any recent desktop card will work (the requirements are OpenGL 2.0, Shader Model 3.0 and preferably a minimum of 256mb of vram)
Never seen their schedule (and i doubt that anybody outside of nvidia saw it) but i don't think that's as simple as: send chip to TSMC, get back working chip from TSMC on A0 and release product.
I thought that we were talking about Fermi and not GT200. Just because in the GT200 generation they...
1) We don't know why they're 6 months behind AMD (not necessarily behind schedule)
2) This is a different generation so it doesn't apply
3) Yields improve over time, if i'm not mistaken, GT200 had similar yield issues when it came out
4) Pure speculation
5) This hasn't stopped Nvidia in the...
