NVIDIA's Jensen Huang just announced new Fermi hardware sporting 3 billion transistors, 512 shader cores. For those of you wanting to know more about what this silicon represents, please hit the link for this Fermi Whitepaper in PDF form. Also there is a great HardForum post here that covers much of this.

You MUST be kidding..... Oh dear god that is bad...

Oh dear I mean, I'm probably not going to buy any 5*** or GTX300 cards for a long while, but... oh dear.

You didn't think JHH would let ATI actually release real cards without trying to throw around some smoke and mirrors, did you?

I'm glad I saw that link. I was going to wait for nvidia's response to ATI's monster of a card. But after seeing that Nvidia actually faked a prototype, I'm almost certain I'm going to be getting the 5870. Thats just makes me a little upset. What else have they lied about?

:/ Nvidia has betrayed my trust.
