Greenie's Cuda sure is having a hard time trying to justify itself. All it ever managed to sacked-up with are the velvety likes of Loilo and Badaboom - for those little darlings desperate to view the latest fuzzy vid-gossips on their touchy-poddies. The likes of pron are going true Blue and the serious crowd are enduring long stretches getting their latest hard-ups running unhindered on their PC-cum-Plasma, for Fred's sake.

I wonder why people frown at new technologies they don't want to pay for and use?!! But I'd rather spend my wondering at a water-dripping tap!

Strange no story mentioning this week's launch of 40nm GT200-based mobile parts.

Is this just being ignored because they don't fit in with INQs "there'll never manage to make GT200 mobile as its too big and power hungry" line? (a derivative of INQs "there'll never manage to make GTX295 in available volumes as its too big and power hungry" line).

I don't mind polemical reporting on NVDA, given its pretty clear where you're coming from. However to simply ignore news which doesn't fit in with your weltanschuuang IS a tad irritating...

you didn't make a single point in all that BS you just wrote... besides that stupid fab thing which is LAME, as this is one of the best cards ever made in its time frame...

rofl you'r such a noob

You must be some serious class of f***ing idiot. Did some1 pay you to write that?

also, Intel bashing and has a NV card, what does that make you?

There are just too many points to be made, omg man/woman/child open your eyes...

even by your own judgment, what average user has an 8800GT?(bad news about that fab on 88gt buddie-the 8800GTX was last good card from NV before gt2x range, 8800GT was@65nm,
ITS GONNA DIE!!!!!!

Where is your fanboi/girl/child faith gonna get you now.

Thanks all the same shirley, even just for the laughs

the author says the claims of 10X improvement over CPU is meaningless since its measured with gtx285, which the average user doesn't use/need.

but she mumbles about the comparison against a core2due does not take into account the new nehalem beast...

pardon me, but also the nehalem beast is not something the avarage user need, so stop this skeptical flaming BS.

I tried it on 8800gt and noticed better results than q6600@3.2ghz
have you? stupid b*tch.

I just can't wait no longer for this holy grail of integration to happen. The teasing of incomplete, barely functional, poorly integrated and yet, so promising technology, is atrocious.

To think we will have to wait until something like Windows 8, directX-12, a cohesive parallel programing environment and a whole new generation of specifically coded software to unlock it's true potential is even more depressing.

Anyone here would like to guess the date when we will be able to say:

"Every pieces of software from OS, to apps to games can scale up to 10 000 threads. Those threads are efficiently dispatched on the fly through either the serial CPUs or the parallel GPUs depending on the nature of the code and system load. In any scenario, the system adapt in order to always deliver 100% of its available computational power."

It will happen. It's inevitable. the only question is when?
