is it any good?

Consider me wrong. I never thought they would rebadge old tech with a new line as the target for GT300 was DX11 i consider myself pwned. i would like to sincerely apologize to the TPU community. and i now have 0 faith for nvidia 2x 5970's here i come.

lol

 

[wahdangun]

WTF, nvdia doing all this hype (and delay) just for that crap, it's really annoying to see something like that.


ohh dammm, all this long for just that, oh well i will grab HD 5970, goodbye nvdia

 

[HalfAHertz]

Dang, here we go again....

What happened to "It's easy to add Dx11 support to Gx200,...bla bla....not worth it" and the easy scalability of Fermi?

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Well on the bright side... at least Nvidia released the 300 series Q4 2009

They sure did! At least now they will have a complete and simple line of products. No more GTSX 9800+@!#$%^*&

 

[wahdangun]

and don't forget "affordable"


but seriously i hope this is some kind sick joke or nvdia really will lose many consumer, i want GT 300 ASAP and not re-badged 8500/9400/210 card

That thing. It looks like a GeForce Fx5200, but with a fan and HDMI.

*shrug* Don't remind me of those. I had a "top of the line" FX5500 fail on me. Then I saw the light and got an ati 9550 -it was half the price and provided the same performance once OCed to 9600 speeds

It's in the specs = DX10.1 - so when they talk about bringing all the features of Windows 7 - they are lying.

I honestly don't know why they are bothering with this.

They want to have a unified product line, Something they've lacked with the last series...you had the low 9300/9400 mid 9600/9800 and the high 260/280 quite confusing for uneducated consumers. In a sick and twisted way it is beneficial for the consumer, just like intel's i3/5/7 lineup

lmao the fx5200 was the worst card i have ever owned, my all in wonder radeon 7500 was better lol

9300 > 295?

Except the 310 use DDR2 and the 210 uses DDR3...and ATi has NEVER rebranded a lower end card with less capabilities to a low end card of a new generation that is supposed to have more capabilities...

Sick and twisted is right! It's a unified naming structure - but it's debatable whether it's good for the customer. Personally I don't see a problem with Nvidia having a 9000 series and a 200 series because the two were (originally) based on different GPUs. They could have dropped the 9000 series and they'd be left with 200 series and 300 series - quite simple for the consumer (this GT310 is OEM anyway). Now Nvidia will have a complete 300 series but some parts will be DX10.1, some DX11. Some based on a new GPU, some will be years old.

Meh, whatever. I just wish they'd hurry up with the high-end gear so that we have a bit of choice.

 

[W1zzard]

geforce 210 uses ddr2, too afaik. it's listed under "GeForce Products - only available in prebuilt (OEM) systems".. still /facepalm

Seriously Nvidia, I've been a green fan for years, but this is just wrong

 

[Meow9000]

laugh or cry, im not sure what to do !

Guess ATI it is for my next card.

 

[human_error]

for those who don't wanna look for the specs:

wow...that just plain sucks

Hurry up and release your top-end so ati drop their prices already.

You can own your very own next gen GeForce 310 for the low, low price of $63USD! Thats the same price range as a Radeon HD 4670 or GeForce GT 220!
