Nvidia released the GF100 graphics architecture details through a white paper today.
Can be found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/gf100.html

I keep reading how great and powerful it will be. That's all very well...
But so far it's all about GF100, that will be expensive as hell. (and I'm not even mentioning GF104).
But what about the rest of the 300 Series:
will there be some sort of Entry-level/Mid-Range GPUs?
I didn't here a word about those so far. Is it even worth waiting for them???

Some details on GTX 480/470 (Nvidia keeps changing their names; 480/470 is the latest one).
Conclusion: Hot, buggy and far too slow.

If that is true, it's a HUGE disappointment
I wish ATI cards would support CUDA...

interesting article, thanks for posting!

imho, situation might not be as bad.. depending on what you want to do with the card.

personally i am not after 3d games...
in your link they do mention that the "tesselation" performance is huge, so i guess that the raw "cuda" power of the card is still very high. also i am a bit sceptical about the testing conditions.. often a new set of drivers can bring a big speed improvement and the cards are not even out yet.

anyway the heat/power issue could be a real problem.. especially if running more than one card....
