Nvidia volume Fermi shipping late Q1

January for samples

In January, Nvidia should have the final samples and a limited number of Fermi Geforce GT300 chips, but the launch might take place later.

If pushed, Nvidia might launch Fermi Geforce in late January as the final chips should be there by then, but real volume shipments should start towards end of Q1 2010.

The most realistic availability date is March 2010, and again only if everything goes right. Judging by our previous information, Nvidia delayed its plans by more than one, if not two quarters.

Awesome, the sooner Fermi launches the sooner everyones prices are low and we can all get fast GPUs.
Awesome, 3months. LOL
Well hopefully they have better DX11 games out by then too from what I've seen with Dirt 2 it's not worth the upgrade to DX11 yet. Bad company 2 comes out in march also and I hope they put DX11 to some real use otherwise I might not upgrade my cards!
Well if chip supply is still short, thanks to tsmc, fermi or not, prices will remain where they are now.
Been waiting for this. Lets see it!

Finally.
too bad they dont even have reviews in before christmas, they just lost my vote.
Great news! Wonder if they will add new features like ATI did with eyefinity


If the dual chip card blows the 5970 out of the water might even upgrade, will have to be VERY impressive!

Nvidia has already lost this battle. It won't matter if Fermi is 300000x faster than HD 5000... ATI has already cashed in loads of money, and still has 4 months to do so.

I hate to say it, as a hardcore nVidia fan, that March 2010 is way too late.

They can't hold everyone until then, more DX11 games are coming out until March 2010... and ATI is gonna be patting nVidia in the back.
This is basically exactly what Semi-Accurate said, late January to April. Nothing new to see here folks.

My thoughts exactly.

Looks like it's not Nvidia's fault this time. At least...

This is what I fear is going to be the case sadly.

I'm probably waiting till HD6000 for an upgrade. (as I am disappointed in HD5000, but that's not for this thread.)

I might grab an HD5670 or GT340 (or whichever is the HD5670 equivalent as I haven't gotten the hold of there new naming yet.)

Nvidia lost this battle?
What battle ATI can't even keep up supply and demand unless you want a mid or low end card


I for one haven't seen any reason to upgrade to DX11 yet. And by the time DX11 is up to par these current cards will probably be out dated, Starting to look like another DX10 repeat.

DX11 cards that run DX9 better, LMAO!!

Are you serious? Your argument could back 4 years when Nvidia was releasing the 6 series, "It doesn't matter how much faster the 6 series is than the 9800PRO, Nvidia is too late to the game"


ATI can hardly keep up supply of the 5 series with the yeild issues going on at TSMC.

If there was a reason to upgrade to DX11, then I'd say you were right. Since there isn't, you're wrong. If Nvidia is taking longer to develop a superior product so that it can be released when we actually need it, I can't fault them for that.

If you can even get one... =/
