Long time lurker here. I just wanted to say I've been reading this thread from the very beginning and what overclockers is offering relative to GTX 970 returns is the very definition of customer care. Just awesome to see.

I recently had a shot of 3D gaming at Overclockers and it's amazing. I'm seriously thinking of getting a 3D capable projector and do it with style. It's well worth it.

I'm looking forward to it. I've got a 8800GT that has served me well for a couple of years now. About the mid point of next year, i'll be wanting to upgrade. I hope affordable fermi(s) are available then. I'm looking forward to some quality stereo 3-D action :)

Same here. I've heard it's going to be december of early next year :(

You don't fancy doing something daft with the credit card then? ;)

I think it works well because there isn't a lot of colour in the Batman game in the first place.

I really enjoyed the demo's etc... Need for Speed Shift was especially good and I was good to meet some of you as well. The technology was pretty amazing to say the least. Now I've got to figure out how to afford it all. I do hope that someone manages to post up the photos from the event.

What else could they say really. If you last to launch then you're going to be spending the time before you launch saying that you don't need DX11 cards and when you do finally launch saying that you absolutely have to have DX11 cards. Pure FUD.

I'll be there tomorrow. I'll be leaving Glasgow this afternoon and staying at a mates in Stoke. We'll both pop along tomorrow but might be a bit under the weather due to tonights excesses :)

I have a dream that one day I will play a fps and no one falls thru a wall or clips through an object ever... Once they sort that out, then they can add the nice stuff.

Return your card and get a 5850. For an extra £35, it's an easy decision. This might also help. Check out the hardware tessellation in the 58xx series cards... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVo_5VCWIzM

All the hardware would be bought by the server companies and it's kinda what's happening already with cloud computing and web based apps. You'd end up having the equivalent of a sky box for gaming in your living room. I can't imagine a scenario where there would be server farms powerful...

Well, I'm sure the publishers would love that business model but I really hope it doesn't go that way. Not unless there is a way for the open community to piggy back onto the servers. Any way you look at it, it'll end up being subscription based just like cable tv but for it to succeed...

So giving that nVidia have designed Fermi as a general purpose microprocessor first and a 3D accelerator second, nVidia obviously feels that the future of PC's as a gaming machine is in question? I wonder what timeframe period they're projecting for the death of PC gaming?

LOL. Wouldn't we all. :D

I'm just amazed that we will be able to buy a card for our PC's that basically turn it into a supercomputer for basically peanuts next year. I'm looking forward to seeing some impressive CUDA powered software next year. Faster then real time good quality high definition video encoding, near...

You're assumption is that a dedicated piece of silicon running microcode to do tessellation is going to be faster then CUDA cores performing the same task is erroneous. In fact, if there is a lot of tessellation in the game, the architecture of Fermi would allow the GPU to assign more CUDA...

I'm coming all the way from Glasgow. Do I get an extra prize :)

I'd like to register for the event. Thanks.
