nVidia ship Tesla C2050 hardware

In a rather muted fashion nVidia have started to ship the Tesla C2050 – the first Fermi based Tesla cards. The C2050 has 448 cores and 3GB of GDDR5 memory onboard. While 3GB sounds a little lower than expected this is because they have modded the PCB to allow for Error Checking and correcting.

nVidia have stated that the 3 billion transistor chip reaches industrial grade reliability after fusing off three SM clusters with 32 cores in each of them. The company has remained tip lipped about the number of cores until very recently and it apparently even caused a lot of internal confusion among the ranks.

KitGuru Games: Has GeForce Now Ultimate perfected cloud gaming?

I first started using GeForce Now back when it first became available for Nvidia Shield tablets over a decade ago. Back then, we were limited to 30FPS gameplay, with choppy controls and low resolutions. Since then, the service has come a very long way, offering RTX powered servers to bring features like ray-tracing and DLSS directly to you, no matter what device you are using. I've had early access to the new RTX 5080-powered servers for about a week now, so let's jump back in and see if cloud gaming has reached a point where it could comfortably replace a traditional gaming PC.
