Nvidia in Crisis

[skunksmash]

now with all news on the web we cant take this as gospel, but its VERY SHOCKING!! , i knew there were issues surrounding the new core, but i was not aware the GT200 was an issue...????

Nvidia kills GTX285, GTX275, GTX260, abandons the mid and high end market
Full on retreat, can't compete with ATI
​

hopefully this is not the case.....

yeah they're meant to be, i dont know why its split into 2 links

hm.... looks like nvidia might be in trouble... :D

This is an interesting shift for NVIDIA. This, combined with the Fermi announcement (which is basically aimed at the scientific market, and not gamers) seems to indicate that things are changing at NVIDIA. While NVIDIA is claiming that the story on the SemiAccuratethat the company is shelving the GTX 260, GTX 275, and GTX 285 and possibly the GTX 295 is “patently untrue,” there can be little doubt that things are changing at NVIDIA.

End of the line for NVIDIA chipsets, and that's official | Hardware 2.0 | ZDNet.com

The 275 can't have gone EOL 2 weeks after that as EVGA released a bunch of new 275 cards end of October. And that does seem to be the only website mentioning that they are actually sacking them cards off...the only thing I knew they were actually stopping were nForce chipsets, so hopefully it isn't all that bad.

i do hope so......

The doom and gloom merchants have been saying that NVidia is on the skids since Late 2007/early 2008, i suppose if you keep saying it for long enough, then it will, eventually happen.
I'm sure we will be hearing more on this in 2010.
BTW, did you see the name of the web site ?.
I'm wondering if the story is "SemiAccurate"

Normally Charlie is a biased FUD merchant, but it appears there actually may be a grain of truth to it.

However, nvidia aren't out of the game yet. But there will be no Fermi based GPU's released this year. Predictions are anywhere from March up to May.

In other news, the TSMC teething trouble with the new 40nm fabrication process is slowly being sorted and the current shortage of 58xx series ATI cards is expected to lift in December. The downside is that prices aren't going to come down anytime soon

I was kicking myself when I bought my 4890's so close to the 58xx release, but after hearing of all the troubles - I'm glad that I did

now is it really or are you just not wanting to believe it could possible be true? also... its not the only site i was that said something about them being in trouble....
and as far as the new Nvidia cards..... they've waited a little long... by the time they finally get them out ATI may have a even better card then they will be in trouble......

Please don't post the articles by this guy, he's one of those conspiracy nut cases. Not surprised the inquirer got rid of him.

Charlie vs nvidia - friction - The Inquirer

Before windows 7 was in the majority of the public's eye, he used to bash that.

Xp mode in windows 7 is a scam - The Inquirer

You have no rights, so buy windows 7 - The Inquirer

Windows 7 has one new feature - The Inquirer

To list a few. After a short analysis, i wouldnt waste the time reading tbh.

And the fact that no reputable site has mentioned it gets ignored too.

what about this?

Nvidia is not going to be in trouble in terms of performance, in terms of heat and cooling are concerned that is a big yes. What Nvidia has done for its GPU (named "Fermi") in the up and coming GT300 series is to increase the wafer size so that it has more computational functionality. ie still on a 45nm die just ducktaped more silicon onto it. This will give it better performance as the chip will have more computational power, but it will lack the functionality of an AMD.

The first link has nothing to do with Nvidia going bust. It was to do with them rumour about the 2% yields from way back.

The second link is about Nvidia not making nForce chipsets for socket 1336.

There's nothing reputable about the third link, the quote is from the same guy who write's all the anti-Nvidia articles on the Inquirer and the Register.

The fourth link is about Intel's Larrabee.

The fifth link is also about nForce chipsets.

Did you actually read any of them sites?

slightly.... i'm lazy and extremely tired.... although if they arn't making nForce chipsets for the new intels they will have a lack of income on mobos....
