NVidia is about to go down in flames

About the ugliest article I've seen on the new part coming out.

...In the end, NV is facing a tough summer in the GPU business. They are effectively out of the Montevina market, and they are going to lose the high end in a spectacular way. Nvidia has no effective countermeasure to the R770, the GT200 was quite simply botched, and now they are going to pay for it.

In layman terms.

What's your take on this SUBMAN1 ?

Take a good look at the comments, most classify the article as complete Horsesh**

but in general I could care donkeypoo what Nvidia or Ati does or what happens with them, the new cards arent really the improvement you know...they just make it bigger and suck more watts out of your household, nice on the electricity bills.

40% yield!

That should be >90%. They must have serious contamination or process issues to achieve such a low number. I wonder who is making their chips, or do they make their own?

I'm seconding Hunter's view. It's bull****, and it's an article written by The Inquirer (whom, if I remember correctly, once posted an article that read "Batboy Catches Saddam in Cave!").

Either way, I'm not a buyer of these new cards. In 7-15 years when new technology rises and video games change, we'll have to totally start from scratch, and as of the moment, my card is just fine, and it's going to remain that way for a few more years at least.

Probably the Chinese... possibly the Japanese.

If they were japanese, the engineers would have to commit seppuku for having such bad yield numbers.

Good point.

I'll believe it when I see it. The majority of reporting from the Inquirer is a bunch of *?!#.

Umm the new series of cards is in no way bothed.

The GTX 280 enables all features of the D10U processor; the GTX 260 version will consist of a significantly cut-down version of the same GPU. The D10U-30 will enable all 240 unified stream processors designed into the processor. NVIDIA documentation claims these second-generation unified shaders perform 50 percent better than the shaders found on the D9 cards released earlier this year.

The main difference between the two new GeForce GTX variants revolves around the number of shaders and memory bus width. Most importantly, NVIDIA disables 48 stream processors on the GTX 260. GTX 280 ships with a 512-bit memory bus capable of supporting 1GB GDDR3 memory; the GTX 260 alternative has a 448-bit bus with support for 896MB.

GTX 280 and 260 add virtually all of the same features as GeForce 9800GTX: PCIe 2.0, OpenGL 2.1, SLI and PureVideoHD. The company also claims both cards will support two SLI-risers for 3-way SLI support.

SO it has double the shaders running 50% better, so i dont see where you can get bothced out of this.

They've been on the ropes before. Remember the FX series or the first round of DX10 cards? Now we just wait for AMD to drop the ball again and the equilibrium will be back in order
