Anandtech has posted an article today on the GF100, which is the graphics card based on Fermi. The GF100 is specifically designed for gaming, and the article focuses on those aspects that make it great in that arena. Unfortunately, there are no real benchmarks where they have the hardware in hand and can test it to its fullest. Instead they just have a couple of teaser benchmarks based on demos that they saw Nvidia run.
At this point the final products and pricing are going to heavily depend on what the final GF100 chips are like. The clockspeeds NVIDIA can get away with will determine power usage and performance, and by extension of that, pricing. Make no mistake though, NVIDIA is clearly aiming to be faster than AMD’s Radeon HD 5870, so form your expectations accordingly.
