Of course nvidia's new GPU is complex, but, I'll believe that the manufacturing process still isn't really good enough without resorting to all sorts of weird tricks before I believe that nvidia engineers don't even know where to look for bugs.

I'm sure we will too, but it will likely be the new year before I actually purchase, so it really doesn't worry me all that much.

I read every press journal. I bought a book by Gordon Bell who is very smart and methodical and in his book he shared ideas on writing good business plans for future entrepreneurs. That’s when I started writing NVIDIA’s Business Plan and after three months of rephrasing and making it sound good, I realized that if I kept working on this, the market opportunity will pass us. I knew what we believed so I just wrote the first principals and list of actions that are basically strategies on what we believe in and the resources we have. To this day, NVIDIA’s business planing is exactly like that- Short and crisp. We model our company somewhat after Nvidia's own business model - of course, considering that we are media and press and we expect to have the same kind of impact and success .. we are also going to be even more disruptive Quote: We said to ourselves that just about everybody hates the idea. We should do it. We knew we could fail but we knew this was the way forward. Screw what everyone else thinks; if you believe in your vision - then just do it and make it *amazing*

http://www.facebook.com/NVIDIA?ref=nf Quote: NVIDIA Happy Holidays GeForce fans! Fun fact: GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming! I'm guessing that will be 32x CSAA, since we already have 32xS and 32x SLI-AA. Of course it could also be 32x MSAA, in which case ATi is going to be needing a change of underwear.

Another reason to suspect it may be 32x CSAA is that CSAA modes are usually double the sample count of their MSAA counterparts (1 color sample & 1 other sample).
Of course this leads to suspicion that there must also be a 16x MSAA mode in Fermi for this to be possible.

with 3 billion transistors - and delayed for months - it had *better* be spectacular
