They already gave you the HD7990, at least, from what I read in the article, as much as they are going to be giving you this card. None of them (7990 or "Tahiti LE") have a reference design.

Well, no complains from me and I'm one of the ones that typically comments about 27" not being 1440p. Not on every thread but I've complained sometimes. But with this one, it's a different aspect ratio and vertically it's probably like a 24" (EDIT: the vertical is actually smaller than a 16:9...

Well the Fermi GF110 based Tesla was clocked at 650 Mhz and had 250w TDP, while desktop part GTX 580 was clocked 772 Mhz and 244w TDP. Memory consumes a lot apparently (or any other explanation). Going by that and the fact that Tesla K20x is clocked at 735 Mhz, IMO a 900 Mhz GTX780 might be...

Personally I agree with both points of views. Nvidia has yet to adjust the price of any of their cards because right now, they are more expensive. To my knowledge they didn't for a single card, because they are still selling like hotcakes I guess. On the other hand it's only the last month when...

I'm actually a low profile game developer and I know that to be BS. Not 100% bullshit, but it's completely overblown. Console being a closed platform with very lightweight OS, helps increase performance, but not to the point where a console becomes 2x faster on the same hardware and let's not...

Pff like I said you run your company on your available resources. Intel's money is not and IF. It's going to be there every quarter and it's $66 million as specified by Nvidia, not me EVERY quarter. So expenditures are adjusted for that available money no matter where it comes from. If they...

Then it would be the court settlement that "saves" them, not Tegra. And still false: 1- Their bussiness model is based on their income and opportunities. If they didn't have the money from Intel, they would adjust. Fact is they have that money and is well deserve. They got it legitimately...

:laugh: You always make me laugh. I can at least give you that. Everything is up at least 15% sequentially and at least 10% year on year, but it's the Tegra bussiness the only thing that "saved them" from red. :roll: And I used quotation marks because they made record gross margins, so...

And again, the PS4 will not release until 2014 or very late 2013. By that time HD8900 refresh will be released if not HD9900. Following the logic above the PS4 should use at the very least an HD7950 (lower clocks, maybe 256 bit) or simply a HD7870 or whatever OR as said a HD8950, because HD9900...

With all the products it's being bundled with, it makes it look like no one wants it if not for free lol. I've never been interested in the franchise, so I can understand that.

Yeah but in order to be the same it would be something like an underclocked GTX 660 Ti or HD7950, not an APU that is 5x less powerful, we are talking about the other side of the spctrum altogether. And no, an APU is just 1 or 2 generations faster than what the XB360 had for example and it's not...

And who said single projection? I'm sorry but it looks like you're learning 3D programming and you're stuck on Chapter 1 yet. Your argument was there's more than pixel shading, which is true and no one said otherwise. However you went all off with the description of what it's basically <5%...

Yes, I can agree with that, because of the effort and such, BUT the info he posted is heavily outdated and because of that non-relevant almost entirely. He's describing forward rendering and to make matters worse, forward rendering with per-vertex shading. That's not used in 95% of the games for...

Sorry but it is simple in this case. Pixels (whether final, or fragments, or texels or whichever step in the pipeline you want to talk about) need to be calculated and rendered and this is done on processors*. 2x the pixel amount 2x the power required, either 2x the SP number or 2x clock. It...

The answer to that is actually much simpler than that. It doesn't drop because when on lower resolution the GPU is not actually performing as fast as it can. The bottleneck is elsewhere in lower resolution (CPU, triangle setup...). Any GPU built in the last decade is built with higher...
