A Fermi fact you might want to know about...

I was a bit shocked myself, but maybe others already knew?

Best to not keep such a thing secret in my book, even if being an Nvidia fan like myself.

The guys into GPU accelerated apps, might have a need to know...

That’s not good. But again – I’m not surprised. Nvidia has become more aggressive with marketing in the last couple of years.

nVidia is turning obsolete, too proud and annoying, i used to love their Gpu“s, now i rather stay away from all their high cost products and crippling software.

DarkLobo - tell me one thing - do you REALLY need DP capabilities of GF100? Really really...
No? I thought so... Come on...GeForce are for playing, not scientific calculations.

Not a big deal to gamers but will certainly tee off anyone who is developing GPU accelerated apps in DP.

Why? There is a product for scientific calculation acceleration - it's Tesla. You want to accelerate your calculations? Go tesla. You want to accelerate your pro apps? Go quadro. You want to play games - go GF.
It's so easy...money money money...
