    AMD Next Gen confirmed for Q4 2011: Dual architecture split like HD6K series

    The ratio is about 2% different. The biggest difference is that this is seeming like a HPL process rather than the straight up HKMG process. That makes performance a huge unknown.

    AMD Next Gen confirmed for Q4 2011: Dual architecture split like HD6K series

    They are both half nodes though, so it's only really one full node shrink. e.g. the ratio between 40 nm and 28 nm is almost exact same as ratio between 45nm and 32nm. More importantly, 40 to 28 is almost same ratio as 55 to 40, which was the previous shrink we went through.

    AMD Next Gen confirmed for Q4 2011: Dual architecture split like HD6K series

    Latest rumors put NV 6xx a couple months behind SI at best. I also don't see why people are only expecting 30% improvement. It's a die shrink along with an architecture change, each of which can yield 25% on its own, meaning a net gain of at least 56% when you compound it.

    Kepler Taped Out - looks like 2012 for next Nvidia Cards

    Both Nvidia's and AMD's drivers are always crap and simultaneously worse than the other one's, particularly for features the other one doesn't even have. ;)

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 580M GPU

    Well, there's the Clevo P170, P150, x7200 or the AW M17x or M18x as 580m options out there. MSI if you're willing to step down to 570M.

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 580M GPU

    And people seem to think people like you don't exist :D Aside from the crazy hobbyists who do it for the hell of it, there are people who actually fit the market demographic, else the product wouldn't exist.

    Kepler Taped Out - looks like 2012 for next Nvidia Cards

    Yes, but article specifically says suggesting TSMC is long pole in tent, not AMD or Nvidia's tapeout. I realize Demers said different, but I don't really know anything beyond that. Is his track record good for his company's launch dates?

    Kepler Taped Out - looks like 2012 for next Nvidia Cards

    Article says TSMC 28nm process not mature being one of the reasons for the delay. That would affect AMD too. They're not using GloFo for Southern Islands.

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 580M GPU

    No, it's actually a revised version of the 485M. Tweaked design, same number of cores and slightly higher clocks. There are some who travel and want to game, but can stand to be tethered at their destination. For others, it's just a hobby.

    Memory in the next generation of video cards

    I'd say complex is misleading. GPUs are without question larger and have more transistors, but they are also highly regular in structure, with identical execution units repeated hundreds of times. A full blown CPU is still a more complex beast. Still, to answer the original question, when you...

    11-11-11 Skyrim New GPU's?

    28nm cards should be on the market by then, so if you are set on upgrading for a specific game regardless of whether it's needed, there would be reason to wait.

    Memory in the next generation of video cards

    I thought this thread was going to be about post GDDR5 memories. This thread on B3D is interesting: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=59907

    ASUS ML239H IPS Panel LED BackLight

    You forgot the most important difference. The 24" is a full 8-bit IPS. (can't remember if S-IPS or H-IPS). 23" is 6-bit e-IPS.

    LG IPS236V

    u2311h and ips236v use the same panel (it's an lg panel). The difference is backlight (CCFL vs. LED), ergonomics and settings menus.
