More problem with Fermi [SA]
 

According to Charlie, Nvidia ask the Manufacturers to increase the TDP of 50w at the last moment to fix a design problem with the chips

I know better to believe rumurs..but...where there is smoke there is fire...punn intended.

I wonder if Charlie's source is the same one Kyle used for his Newegg story lol.

Much speculation here until it comes out. We will have a dozen more of these threads until release.

Not saying this is not true, but we will not know until the 26th. Even if the card draws 275w at launch, I won't believe this story until a company like Evga or a reputable reviewer can confirm that they made that increase.

:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:


think about the few that cant yet spill the beans about it...:)


i keep bricking about power envelope lol....ati 2900xtx anyone? :)

Lol Mark, this must be the 20th time oyu use this pic.

I have my doubts the card just magically got 50W hotter.... we all know how Charlie is with Nvidia.

.....

So many rumours (sigh). Like the one that Charlie was beaten as a child with a RIVA 128ZX (I'm almost sure that can't be true). :biggrin:

I am done thinking about anything to do with fermi till there are real full reviews available.

I dont trust a word that guy says on his site because its always anti-nvidia and pro-ati, thats not objective reporting. No wonder his site is called semi accurate
