*******Edit: These have been confirmed fake guys, sorry for the hubbub. Feel free to still use the thread for Nvidia Fermi discussion though******** 
 
Specs from Nvidia's upcoming GT300 DX11 series of cards have (finally)  been leaked: 
 

Interesting, interesting, however I'll probably still end up getting an ATI 5870 and crossfiring that bitch with my 4980.

Holy shit that 380 is beasty.

that's gonna be like a 1000 dollar card

Very nice.  
 
But probably ridiculously expensive.

If anything it would drive the prices lower for existing cards, that's how videocards are marketed.

I want one, no wait...I want two.

Good to see Nvidia back on top (I'm a tad Nvidia fanboy :P )
 
Although it's starting to make my 9800GT look a bit outdated. Oh well,TF2 still runs great :D

YES I can hear the price of the GTX 295 dropping already.

" YES I can hear the price of the GTX 295 dropping already. "

I have two 4870's, but I'm only running one of them, so I may end up selling both and picking up a more powerful single card in the next few months, ala the GTX295. Yay for new cards and the imminent price drops.

Glad they're still showing GTX285 in benchmarks >_>

Crazy.    Too bad there is really no future for PC upgrades, Like Jeff said on the Bombcast, PC technology is at a standstill. 
I've got an 880GTS and it can still run pretty much anything out (save for Crysis) on high with decent frames.  I would like to get anew card sometime, but right now the cost VS the performance increase doesn't balance out.

Um, are you seeing the same benchmarks I am? There's a vast difference between some of these, and even the weakest card is much better than yours. Don't listen to what Jeff or almost any of the GB staff say about PCs. Of course if the games you play run good enough for you there's no reason to upgrade yet (and it shows that the popular dissing of computers thanks to "constant" upgrading is false) but to say they're at a standstill is pretty stupid, especially when we're gearing up for a brand new Direct X version which will bring a system refresh for many users once more games start utilising such technology. If one has the money to spend then they will be put to use. Of course you don't need 90 frames per second for these games but you want whatever you buy to be futureproof so obviously older games will run better than they need. The benchmarks for some reason have games that have decent performance, than something that doesn't run so well on past cards, like GTAIV (which is an unoptimised pos on PC). Of course the graphics card is only part of the equation, just owning one of these won't yield the same results for the user if his processor sucks.I also prolonged my last system (a P4 with a GeForce 4 and later X800 XL) as long as I possibly could, saying I'm content with the semi decent performance I got (which was actually not great at all), but that didn't make me oblivious to what playing games at higher settings with better frame rates would offer me to claim that technology improvement is at a standstill or something outrageous like that.

" Um, what's the Y axis supposed to represent on the graphs? "

Although I'm as excited by new videocard tech as anybody else, I'm left wondering what could anybody possibly be wanting this over a 200 series card for? There has yet to be a PC game that surpasses Crysis' visual fidelity and tech requirements, and the 8800's were just fine with that game. 9800's were even better, and 200 series slays it dead.
 
What game do we need the new cards for?

nVidia doing what it does best! Showing ATI how much it sucks ass.

Why did they test Call of Pripyat with dx11 off?
 
ATI is master race until I see ENVYdia's overpriced card launch next year(It'll be priced the same as 5970, you heard it here first).

It's kind of sad that there are more announcements of new graphics cards than actual PC games I would actually upgrade for.

Wow...well good thing I am still happy with my GTX 260 for now. Maybe I'll wait a few years till I pick up one of those beasts.

This is probably the only place in the whole WWW that took these "benchmarks" at face value. That's quite an achievement.

I'm just gonna wait for whatever the hell we end up with when Nvidia and ATI merge because they seriously can't keep doing what they're doing through a recession.

There is, just not your main studios anymore.  More of the niche titles out there are pushing PC graphics forward now.   Shattered Horizons, STALKER CoP for instance require good rigs to run.  And Crysis 2 will push the standard forward again.  I don't think it's at a standstill.  But most games out there aren't pushing the boundaries like they once were.    Irregardless, it's not all about the graphics for me.  Game play is vastly more important.

Except STALKER CoP looks like total shit, graphically, and Shattered Horizon isn't impressive visually either.  Dirt 2's DX11 visuals are a complete joke...  Maybe Crysis 2 will bring the high end fidelity, but overall PC game graphics are at a standstill.  At this point I'll probably stick with my GTX260 core 216 until well after the next generation of consoles... "

Shattered Horizon I guess I agree.  But STALKER CoP is a pretty impressive looking game to me.  It's no Crysis though.   Regarding DX11 this is just the beginning of the cycle.  We just don't have the information at the moment to know if this will be a quasi flop like DX10.  I also have a 260 core 216 and will wait as well.  But I will keep my eye on DX11 anyway.  Who knows, Tesselation might be the next big thing.

I'll keep my 9800GX2 for now thanks. MAYBE if AvP runs like crap on my rig (which I really don't see happening) then I might think about getting a GTX 295, assuming there's a mad price drop down to the $200-300 level.

If that's true, then that's pretty embarassing for Nvidia. A company already playing catchup with Direct X 11 releases will see themselves way, way behind when AMD take the opportunity to lower card prices and release their graphics card refreshes, which are probably just around the corner. Since performance is already only marginally better, and you'd best believe price will be through the roof, as always, AMD will continue to hold the price/performance market.
 
Ouch.

Thats cool. I have no real knowledge on Video Cards, but this sounds like a winner. I have an Nvidia Geforce someshit or other, i dunno. See, I'm an expert. 145 fps seems good i guess?
 
EDIT: Apparently i can't spell Nvidia right... twice.

Sexy.  I need to get that one.  I only have a GeForce 8600GT.

My GTX 275 should last me at least until the end of this 2010, if not then I will be broke :D

I'm gunna worry about this stuff when Diablo III comes-out, only because I have to build another computer so both my girlfriend and I can play together. 
 
By then, I'll probably be buying a GTX 380 for like $150 :p 

Mmmm "leaked" benchmarks are almost always early market hype.  Will wait for the true results.  Still need this to launch before I make a call on a DX11 card.  Also those frame rate results for the 5870 look a little on the low side.

Man navida needs to release this card already. I have everything ready for a new computer except the graphics card.  Hurry the hell up I want that card.

Nvidia's new shit has to really beat ATi's stuff for me to make the switch. Marginal better scores and frames, I can live with the lost. 

" @DCFGS3: i thought that for SLI/Crossfire, you'd need 2 identical cards? "

ENVYdia shopped the benchmark charts in a hopeless effort to try give their 1,7%-ridden woodscrew GPU a better face.
 
EDIT: it was some faggot troll who shoopped the pictures and ENVYdia didn't have anything to do with it, but still:
