Like the 58xx from ATi this will be probably 3x-4x stronger than ALL CONSOLES COMBINED.

I still will not buy one. They are going to be hella expensive. Would rather just wait it out and see what ATIs next line are cards will be so top these. Or ill just buy one of ATIs cards now after they drop in price because of this.

And probably won't have the software to show that it's 3-4X stronger for another 2/3 years?

Price point hasn't been given yet but Nvidia said it cost less than what the GTX 2xx series did when it launched but the rumoured prices are $299 for GTX 470 and $399 for the 480 to stay competitive in pricing with ATi.

Have you read the hardocp in depth read on it? It is bringing a hell of lot of new stuff to gaming, I'll give you a link....http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/01/17/nvidias_fermi_gf100_facts_opinions/ This GPU can do Ray Tracing and much much more which is why it took a long time to develop. Whole new architecture.

For what purpose? You can probably buy a console for the same price as one of these.

I am relatively new to PC gaming, so if I sound ignorant just drop the knowledge. But I will read that.

It's not that the card can't handle these games... in fact, should they ever be ported (never) and ported well, I expect neither would particularly tax anyone's hardware.

You do know that site was confirmed fake by Nvidia right? Just a no name site trying to get attention.

http://hothardware.com/News/Fermi-Preorder-Page-Fuels-Speculation-and-Comical-User-Reviews/

"We're not ones to brag (maybe a little here and there), but we'd rather say "told you so" than have to eat crow. We've heard crow doesn't taste very good anyway, and lucky for us, we're not about to find out - it looks like we were right on the money in calling this one a hoax. Not only has SabrePC since taken the pre-order product page down, but the whole site appears to be in a state of disorder. You now need a username and password to enter the site, which presumably no one has, save for SabrePC's staff."

Prices will adjust on both sides post launch, they are probably milking the day one hype buyers.

If ATI's solution ends up performing better; the price will drop to stay competitive. If it ends up performing higher; ATI will adjust their prices to remain competitive.

Win win whoever you go with, provided you are patient enough to see their reactions.

Isnt it just all about the games? Fancy tech is great but in the end I would choose an additional library to choose from over getting a game I already have look better...

gtx 470 looks tempting for my new build this summer 299 and it performs supposedly like a 5870................, hopefully the 5850 drops to like 250 so i might get that cheaper one instead

even if it isn't official yet, do a little research on Fermi, Yields are low in comparison to the radeon and the chip is incredibly complex and difficult to manufacture so that may actually the asking price at launch.

Agreed. Though I already purchased a 5870 last year I may consider picking up another one at some point to CF. Though if Nvidia can pull through I may hold off and let the card run its course and buy a Nvidia card next year when I build a new PC. Then again ATI may have a better card at the time so who knows. :P Though waiting never hurts, I mean the 8800GT was easily worth the wait :)

That is because Nvidia took time to develop a new architecture rather than ATi who didn't.

The GTX 400 series will be better than ATi's card.

Thats speculation on your part my friend. And ATI is always first to dive into new architectures. Read up son. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3740
