As primeiras placas de vídeo com o processador gráfico GF100 (o primeiro modelo baseado na arquitetura Fermi), da Nvidia, serão a GeForce GTX 480 e a GeForce GTX 470. Todas as informações preliminares indicam que elas serão feras animalescas. E custarão tanto quanto dragões. [Nvidia]
"Grim though that might sound, Nvidia’s recent preview of the GF100 architecture left us with the impression that the company has a bigger-picture plan of action for DirectX 11. Not only is the hardware in production, representatives claim, but third-party software developers are also being armed with the tools to create more compelling content.
Sure some of this is done for selfish reasons—for example, its PhysX plug-ins for 3ds Max, Maya, and Softimage are all provided to further the company’s agenda for this proprietary API. However, the Nexus toolkit, which is integrated into Visual Studio, supports CUDA C calls (of course), and also DirectX 10/11 and OpenGL. To the uninitiated gamer who might not know what it takes to bring a popular title to market, it’s really just important to know that Nvidia’s efforts will, ideally, enable more efficient development and better on-screen effects. And because DirectX 11 is fairly specific in the way it dictates compatibility, Nvidia is confident that debugging on a GF100-based graphics card will allow developers to optimize for ATI’s DX11 hardware, too.
But enough about predictions of the future—we’re writing this story because we know some new facts about what GF100 will enable when it finally does emerge sometime in the next two months."
