NVIDIA Fermi GF100 Video Cards To Support 32x Anti-Aliasing Mode

NVIDIA has been releasing all sorts of GeForce GF100 Fermi video cards facts on Facebook and Twitter for the past month. Tonight they just posted up that the GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming! This is an interesting piece of news and at this rate it will be curious to see what secrets of the card they have not mentioned! http://legitreviews.com/images/news/...fermi_chip.jpg

NVIDIA GeForce GF100 Fermi Video Card Facts
GF100 is the codename for the first GeForce GPU based on the Fermi architecture!

The GF100 board is 10.5-inches long -- the same length as GeForce GTX 200 Series graphics cards!

GF100 packs in over 3B (billion!) transistors

The GF100 supports full hardware decode on the GPU for 3D Blu-Ray

GF100 graphics cards will provide hardware support for GPU overvoltaging for extreme overclocking!

GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming!

wish they could get this thing out to retail already

Hopefully I can snap some close ups at CES ;)

Damnit, nothing new here. I dont understand whats so spectacular about this.

I need to go get my Fermi architecture data sheets and stop this madness.

NVIDIA Fermi possibly delayed to march 2010
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, December 29, 2009 - 10:04 PM

The rumors go on and on regarding NVIDIA's Fermi architecture. The latest report from digitimes now states that Fermi 40nm based GPUs won’t make its expected early 2010 launch, and nor will it be ready in time for CES 2010 in January. The claim is that NVIDIA have been telling producers to only expect the DirectX 11-compatible Fermi chips in March 2010, and suggest that defects have prompted the delay.

NVIDIA, for their part, have declined to comment on “unannounced products”, and would not confirm that the chips were first expected in November this year and then initially delayed until CES.

The first chip is expected to be the Fermi-GF100, using GDDR5 memory, and arriving in March, while NVIDIA are believed to be readying a GF104 version for Q2 2010 to target the high-end market with its GeForceGTX295/285/275/260.

Either shit or get off the pot Nvidia. (Sorry for the sudden outburst.)

I agree... stringing people along, physx/ati thing, renaming 8800gts512/9800gtx/gts250... arent the way to keep customers loyal.

And yet we all keep hoping for the next big thing from Nvidia/ATI, rooting each camp on like savage traitors. One month ATI who ares and the next Nvidia junkies. Praying that maybe thru some divinity, some pixie dust will fall onto your wish that Nvidia/ATI unnexpectedly releases a humdinger that blows everyone's socks off.

But in reality, you'd need to wait 2 years from release to get "Big Bang" drivers that actually increase performance by a large measure. Or wait 4 years for a decent performing card with wacky fan controls and crap filled drivers.

They may have had a very large shipment of "Pot" that's reducing their work performance.

"May be delayed" till March. Umm I thought we knew that for at least a month.

Back in November they said Q2 right? (Or did they say Q1 and everyone just assumed they meant the very last day of Q1) LOL

Oh and that is SO totally a fake name. Hilbert Hagedoorne. LMAO

Actually he is the owner. I keep forgetting about that guy. Once a year or so I see his name and go OMGWTF! and have to look it up to make sure it is not fake.
