nvidia GF100 wireframeDisclaimer: I own shares in Advanced Micro Devices. That said, all workhorse laptops in my possession are quite satisfactorily running NVIDIA GPUs and Intel CPUs. There’s no favoritism being shown here towards any company whatsoever.

NVIDIA confirmed last night their intention to launch their Fermi-based GF100 graphics cards during Q1 2010 now that delays in the Fermi architecture have been settled. The board and others in the Fermi lineup will include DirectX 11 support while adding other features such as live raytracing to the mix.

The demo box was running the UNiGiNE benchmark, and while I didn’t have time to run through that benchmark last night, I will have time to run through it after this morning’s NVIDIA press conference in just under three hours.

Catch the video of GF100 after the break!

Pretty sweet…looks like ill be holding off till these babies come out. Did they say anything about a price point? I really shouldn’t stick with nvidia after the problems i have had with this current graphics card…hopefully ati dishes out something that is comparable.

Also, Bryant keep up the good work man.

Awesome news! Thank you! I am really looking forward to this card and it sounds very powerful.

If it outperforms the ATi HD5970 at a (way) lower price ánd the story about native DX11-triple-monitor support is true (without explicitly needing one displayport monitor), I think I want this hardware.

…They probably get bottlenecked by some old Phenom 9750, no?
