Nvidia Discloses Details On Next-Gen Fermi GPU

EconolineCrush writes "The Tech Report has published the first details describing the architecture behind Nvidia's upcoming Fermi GPU. More than just a graphics processor, Fermi incorporates many enhancements targeted specifically at general-purpose computing, such as better support for double-precision math, improved internal scheduling and switching, and more robust tools for developers. Plus, you know, more cores. Some questions about the chip remain unanswered, but it's not expected to arrive until later this year or early next."

Young coders are too lazy and brainwashed by MS and Sony to think anymore.
You finally have the bandwidth and cpu and gpu to do something and your stuck dreaming at 640p.
Hack the cards with Linux and dream big. Take computing back from the DRM, locked down junk MS and Sony code down to.
You have the OS, now get some graphics freedom too.

Wow. Good to see the mods finding this thread so novel and very relevant to the original topic. Maybe I should now run along with some meme from here.

If only I could beat the mods with a clue stick.... Even reddit with its uber-simple mod system does better than this. Either slashdot should do better, or maybe just kick out the moderators and introduce reddit style modding.

Great achivement! You managed to achieve somwhat acceptable framerates in a game based on 2004 source engine. Now try that with resident Evil 5 or Batman:AA at 1920x1080. My gtx295 setup has been worth every penny and still there are games that can not be played with full graphic detail and 16AA at good resolutions.
