Man I hope they don't call it a 1080 lol. I think with the new memory they're ripe for a naming scheme change.

Hmm I was planning to get a new desktop at the end of the year. I've been mostly on laptops the last couple of years, or should I better say decade since my last 'desktop' is a Pentium 4 running a ATI 9800XT from 2003, which is today outclassed by my phone.
But reading this stuff, I guess it's worth to wait a couple of month longer..

Despite his desire for this new technology to come quickly, he is debating on waiting for Kabylake.
although you probably shouldn't wait for kabylake
I'm talking bout that 1440@120

They should call it Riva TNT 3

So is this going to cost just my soul or do I need to fork over my child's as well?

Well yes the consumer cards will not have anything close to 32gb hbm2.
Dat Arma 3 and Ark running with 10 more frames per second.

Prepare to wait a couple more years then.

How many TF, then?
Zen fails, they get bought up, cards delayed.

I can get 4K @ 60 fps on my GTX 970 on many games. If the next consoles get something close to its power, it should be no problem getting those kind of stats once developers start optimizing for the systems.

How much are they gonna cost though? And how long until mid range cards have this technology?
haha well that's the worst case scenario, if zen doesn't live up to their expectations they are kill.

This is going to be an amazing upgrade for my 780!
Whoa.
970 struggles at 1440p to get 60 FPS in recent games, let alone 4K.
What games are you referring to?

The current consoles are not gimped. They are what they are due to price point. They can run games at 1080p@60fps, just a matter of what the developer sacrifices in order to make it so. I think Uncharted 4 looks mindblowingly good, certainly not gimped by any stretch of the imagination.
When will people learn that unless the console maker makes it mandatory for games to run at a specific resolution and fps there will be developers who'd opt for more effects, better textures, AA etc at 30 fps with possibly lower resolution as well...
I think he's talking about DSR in slightly older games. I was able to play Remember Me at 40k60 without a sweat.
E: Oh well v

I should have mentioned that I wasn't running them at ultra. Thats the big thing. I distinctly remember getting rather great FPS levels in GTA V in particular. Or maybe I'm just remembering things incorrectly.
DSR does work ludicrously well with this card on older games too, as mentioned above.
MaxPayne 3, Hitman Absolution, Remember Me, Sleeping Dogs, all work at buttery smooth 4k 60fps.

Q2? Glad I decided to finally pick up a GTX 970.

Naughty Dog made fun of 30fps and hoped to make 60fps a standard for games this generation at the time of the release of The Last of Us Remastered. Then they aimed for 60fps for Uncharted 4 but eventually had to downgrade it to 30fps. Of course it's gimped. And it's not Naughty Dog's fault, they're wizards. The hardware just isn't good enough to realize their visions without sacrificing something, this time it was the smoothness that had to go.

Will it run Crysis on 60 fps?

I would normally say just go for it, but yeah if your primary interest is VR, you'll probably want to wait for some HBM2 cards.
Doom 3 is going to get me to upgrade to one of these bad boys.

Doesn't AMD have priority for HBM2? If so, there's no way this is ready for Q2, as HBM2 should only become available at that time.

That's awesome. If it lives up to the rumored hype, I'll buy it. For now though, I'm enjoying having a 980 Ti.

Will hold onto my GTX 970 until 2017 when I hit my next build. But the GTX 1070/1170 with this tech is going to be a good addition to said build!

I couldn't sustain DSR 4K on Mass Effect 2 at 60fps. Almost the entire game it did run at 60, but at certain points during one of the DLCs, it started dropping frames. And that's a 5 year old game.
If you want to push 4K on a 970 be my guest, but the card is not suited to that IMO. Even 1440 is a stretch, unless you're really willing to lower settings.
I don't think so, your talking about current games, not games 5 years from now tailor made for those hypothetical consoles. I expect devs to target 30fps even then, because they are going to want to push the boundary of a closed platform by default.
Even though we should not be taking Crytek's advice, they said that even if they had put Ryse on PS4, they still would have made it 900p and used the GPU cycles elsewhere, to push their graphics instead of making it 1080p with the extra GPU grunt.
Those are old or cross-gen games. The poster was implying that the 970 would be able to run theoretical games in the future at 4K. I very much doubt that particular capability of the card.
Not to mention he probably has MSAA off in Max Payne.

I reall hope this time they will close the gap:
and we get 100% same performance between the mobile and the desktop GPUs.. Seeing how the Pascal architecture is and how it can fit in a such really small die:
I am sure they will close the gap this time.
