|  | | Nvidia Fakes Fermi Boards In GPU Technology Conference |
What do you do when you have a major conference planned to introduce a card, but you don't have a card? You fake it, and Nvidia did just that.
In a really pathetic display, Nvidia actually faked the introduction of its latest video card, because it simply doesn't have boards to show. Why? Because it didn't get enough parts to properly bring them up, much less make demo boards. Why do we say they are faked? If you look at the pictures, it is painfully obvious that Fermi cards don't exist. Well, painful if you happen to be Dear Leader who waved fakes around and hopes to get away with it, but hilarious if you are anyone not working at Nvidia.
Lets go through this in pictures, shall we? Please note, none of the pictures are ours, and since you can find them on many other sites, they are likely Nvidia PR material. Since the company seems to have forgotten to mail us a copy, we will point to the ones at PC Watch.

Addendum:
Nvidia is so lame, I'll never ever buy any of their products. If ATI stops making cards and if Larabee fails miserably, I'll stick to the card I have at the moment and if that one breaks I'll throw away my PC in the dumpster, set everything on fire and start dancing around invoking rain. |

| Quote | | | | | Lol, and yet Im not the least bit shocked, surprised I didnt see any whiteout on the cards actually | | | | the photo fits  | | | | nVidia is a bunch of fucked up cheaters who think that they can cheat all their customers to the end of life of customers' pockets. I will repeat one more time what i was saying many times: "I will never more buy any nShitia's product becouse nShitia sux and cheats!"
Let's screw them like they screw us! | | | | Quote:

Charlies a dumb cock who hasn't been allowed near a Nvidia launch since NV40.
and the truth it out Quote:
Fermi that was running PhysX at Jensen's GTC keynote was real but the one that we all took pictures of was a mock-up.
The real engineering sample card is full of dangling wires. Basically, it looks like an octopus of modules and wires and the top brass at Nvidia didn't want to give that thing to Jensen. This was confirmed today by a top Nvidia VP president class chap, but the same person did confirm that the card is real and that it does exist.
Charlie was surely right about this one here. The card that Jensen showed and we all pictured is not a working sample. Some key people at Nvidia have promised to show us the picture of the real one. Stay tuned.

Squall? lool what u doing here you ati\amd lover!!?? lool havent seeing you in a while dude!
still have that avatar with the swinging sword dude?
______________
yes that thing you saw was just a prototype "shell" non functional!
i am a geek i dont mind the wires at all!
but for that kind of public and vip peeps.. it was a better PR move to show the dummy "shell" then a full wired chip...
is was not a matter of showing a fake card.. thats prolly how it will look like.. it was only a matter of showing a clean sample of the fermi! | | | | Well, why not state "this is not a real card, only a goddamn model"? | | | | Quote:

but hey he never said that the model was functional did he?
he just showed the model! he did not say it was functioning!
and is a pretty model i must say!! black... and shiny... hehehe | | | | But, doesn't he say "This puppy here, is Fermi"? This is not "only" misleading, it's outright lying. | | | | that is Fermi... he just showed a model!
he never stated " here is a working model of Fermi" he just stated "this is fermi"
so...
well i dont care about that... fermi exists.. and it packs a lot of power...
lets wait for benchies... thats is what we ALL want!  |

........ | whoa Squall... where did you got those prices?? please tell me as soon as you can! GX2 649$ = 446€ not bad...
but here in europe shops gona put more € on top of that..
at least 100€ more = 550€ the usual crap.. a full months salary! gtx 399$ =275€ gonna be at least 350€ here in europe.. the hd5870 is around 350€!! GT at 300$ that is 206 €... not bad... if the creeps here in Europe did not put another 50€ on top!!
Maybe just maybe this time ill buy from the internet!! straight from evga it self! | | | | | | Quote:

Don't know though how much these customs fees are. Maybe you should call Evga or your countries customs office and ask. | | | | Bulk shipping gets custom levies, where commercial use is concerned. | |
