those are not the same render's as what Nvidia showed.

But they are the same renders that the OP posted.

and you don't think the Fermi could render those type's of images? in real time?

example: look at the particle render test :

NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPU computing solutions enable the necessary transition to energy efficient parallel computing power. With 240 CUDA cores per processor and based on the revolutionary NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture, Tesla scales to solve the world’s most important computing challenges—more quickly and accurately.

the Fermi beat the Tesla in a particle render!

Like other Industry Heads the type of HYBRID processor's are the future

i really hope it does,, it would be pathetic if it didnt. Tesla is great for mobile graphics but PC graphics its nothing.

 

@almcchesney- expet high-end to be $300 - $500. Middle to be $150 - 250. Low-end $50 - $120. At launch they will be extremely high but in like 2 months the prices will drop at least 15% like always.

there was a thread a few weeks ago about ray tracing.... got you to really understand it and why people are excited about it.

yea no doubt, well i would not say it's nothing for PC graphics, it just depends on what type of program you are doing.

since you can buy your very own GPU super computer now for less than $10,000 I consider that a great leap in advancement

what would have cost upwards of up to $100,000+ now is less than $10,000 is quite good.

There is no official announcement on this. Nowhere has Nvidia said that this was rendered on Fermi, nor in real-time (which is the key, even a very old CPU could do that given enough time).

Secondly, there are no GT300/Fermi reviews yet. No performance figures. Much of the die area is taken up with caches and interconnects that won't help gaming performance at all, it is for GPGPU. So the die will be less area efficient.

Thirdly, GT300 is yielding very poorly (about 2%, where 70-80 is reasonable). This is due to Nvidia and TSMC's problems on 40nm, all of their 40nm products are poorly yielding and late. The latest rumours say Fermi is in for a respin and won't be availible at retail in quantities above tens of units until May. Certainly not this year except for a publicity stunt.

EDIT: Update as of today: http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/11/02/nvidia-finally-gets-fermi-a2-taped-out/

With the area handicap, and given how inefficient GT200 is (double the area of RV770 but matched in many respects by it), I would expect a Fermi to perform a little better than the 5870. But cost over $500 due to the poor yields and huge die size, and lose heavily to the dual 5870 which will be in that price range.

It's not worth waiting for, anyway.
