Anyone noticed about how Nvidia did a horrible paper launch this year? The fact they even used fake boards for their soft launch is pretty amazing to me. I remember when ATI got ripped on for paper launch's because of Nvidias PR. Just to clear something up. I'm not a fanboy either. I've owned both brands and got a Nvidia on my current computer. Just fine it amusing about how PR wars go on. No flaming!

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It's only a horrible launch if this is all they have to present for a possible November release. It's perfectly acceptable if they don't think they'll have anything ready for a while.

The little shindig they had was more about gpgpu and the changes they were planning to bring to the table, than anything else. It was not a product launch. At most, it could be considered a tech preview/overview more than anything. Can't have a paper launch if they are not launching anything, now can they. They were up front about the demos being run on gt200 hardware, and the fact that they were using mock ups of gt300 as stage props. I just don't see the issues people are having with this particular event.

True, but doesn't it seem like maybe when the event was planned they'd hoped to be presenting a lot more?

Sure, when they planned the event months back, I am sure they prolly thought they would have hardware. Shit happens though.

Also true. Makes the whole thing look a little desperate to me, tho. Like even if it wasn't a product launch, they are working hard to make a mole hill look like a mountain.
