With the news that ATI delayed the RV870 part to 4Q'09, there are reasons why Santa Clara camp will be happy. GT300 is coming before the RV870, if TSMC does not mess up completely.

After the conference call last night, nVidia was feeling very confident that the company is on the right track... and there is a pretty good reason why. We spoke with several sources and they're quite optimistic that they will be able to release their DirectX 11 GPU ahead of ATI's RV870 chip.

According to a rumored report on Fudzilla, ATI allegedly decided to postpone their DirectX 11 until after the release of Windows 7, while our sources cited that recent rumors about slipping into 2010 were "blatant lies" and "written by a person that has no sense of reality". We will refrain from comments and we usually dislike it if a fellow journalist is being dissed, unless it is a person who invents things up. Charlie is usually known to be on target, but this goes against the information we know. But what is important is that according to our sources, GeForce GTX 300 series will be shipped in late 3Q 2009, targeting the Back-to-School period. We're not talking about a October-November frame, but rather August or September. Our sources were not wrong in the past, and we have no reason to believe otherwise. BUT - this is a rumor story. Until the silicon comes out, we won't know who's who.

Just like RV870, the reason why both companies have issues is TSMC's issues with the 40nm process, and this is a trump card for GlobalFoundries. Like any rumors, take them with a grain of salt. It is a common thing that competing manufacturers spread bad rumors about the competing company's part, but that is just the way how this game is played.

i guess it wont be long before we will be seeing cards like GTX 360, GTX 380 etc :clap:
 
I'm not trusting either INQ or BSN, before either of GPU makers tape out latest chips... the fun starts only after that. :)
 
Nvidia should be really desperate to release DX11 as ATI got the crown of releasing the first 40nm gfx card and also DX 10.1 now they would want to be first to bring out DX11...

this competition should bring out the best in both companies...
 
God i would surely be waiting for a 20nm card which would give a performance of current GTX295 ,4870X2 at the power consumption of 50W at max.. Go go companies.. Bottom line:- the card then will be used with a cheapo PSUs:P
 
As long as both AMD and nvidia keep trying to out do each other, who cares who's first :D We consumers win! Ati Radeon 4000 series ftw :P
 
Inquirer hits back ,...

A look at the nvidia gt300 architecture - The Inquirer

THERE'S A LOT of fake news going around about the upcoming GPUish chip called the GT300. Let's clear some air on this Larrabee-lite architecture.

First of all, almost everything you have heard about the two upcoming DX11 architectures is wrong. There is a single source making up news, and second rate sites are parroting it left and right. The R870 news is laughably inaccurate, and the GT300 info is quite curious too. Either ATI figured out a way to break the laws of physics with memory speed and Nvidia managed to almost double its transistor density - do the math on purported numbers, they aren't even in the ballpark - or someone is blatantly making up numbers.

That said, lets get on with what we know, and delve into the architectures a bit. The GT300 is going to lose, badly, in the GPU game, and we will go over why and how.

damn that article didnt make good reading for any nvidia fanboy.. lol

i aint no fanboy :) i go where the performace is :) so lets see what this next gen of cards can do..

so far looking like ati is gonna whoop nvdia's but*..

makes thigs very very interesting !!

cheers VRD :)
 
As much as that article is filled with absolute nVidia hate and thus, exaggerated numbers with anti-nVidia BS... I just love the teeth Charlie puts in nVidia articles. It's like hating nVidia brings the best out of him, I don't know what nVidia has done to him, but everytime he writes on nVidia it's like he's out for blood and lots and lots of blood. :)

This was a gem :

Inquirer said:
GT300 is basically Larrabee done wrong for the wrong reasons. Amusingly though, it misses both of the attempted targets. R870 should pummel it in DX10/DX11 performance, but if you buy a $400-600 GPU for ripping DVDs to your Ipod, Nvidia has a card for you. Maybe. Yield problems notwithstanding.

whatever the article says,...ATI is really walking the walk regarding next generation GPUs.

Nvidia still has to catup with ATI in GDDR5 as well as 40nm.
