AFAIK Nvlink is the interposer for the "3D" memory.
I thought NVLink effectively replaces PCI-E as the BUS for the GPU? In which case all new motherboards with NVLink ports would be necessary.
I was ready to buy a Titan X, but after this Pascal thing I'm not sure anymore.
The Osborne effect is a term referring to the unintended consequences of a company pre-announcement made either unaware of the risks involved or when the timing is misjudged, which ends up having a negative impact on the sales of the current product. This is often the case when a product is announced too long before its actual availability. This has the immediate effect of customers canceling or deferring orders for the current product.
The term was coined after the Osborne Computer Corporation, in which the company took more than a year to make its next product available and eventually ran out of cash and went bankrupt in 1985
Wow, so much for people saying 980 is overkill for 1080p 60fps
I intend buying a GPU for 1080p but 3D vision capable. I thought non-3D vision would be a lock for 980 but thats not even certain. And it will likely get worse as more ambitious games come out that dont target the older consoles.
Put together some Pascal details:
- first NVIDIA GPU with 3D memory and NVLink
- 32GB of memory
- 3x the memory bandwidth of Maxwell
- 2x the performance per watt of Maxwell
- new feature: mixed-precision
- 4x the mixed-precision FP16 performance of Maxwell
Anything to add or change?
And lol @ Dragon Age not even hitting 60fps on a $1000 GPU at 2560x1600. Shame on you EA.

Those benchmarks are for 2560x1600 and 4k, not 1080p
Does it really make sense to emphasize the need for more VRAM in an SLI/XF setup when we have new APIs launching this year that will combine SLI/XF memory pools? 8GB on a 970 or even 980 should be enough for the time that the processing power of the card is still worthwhile.
Of course that is counting on devs to adapt DX12/Vulkan rather quickly across the board.

Yeah but I am only looking at games I care about at x1600 (its worse for 4K)
Dying Light 51
Dragon Age 36
Far Cry 4 - 48
So even if they hit 60 at 1080p that means that I would expect games within the next 2-3 years (my timeframe for replacing PC) that couldnt do 60 fps even at 1080p non-3D Vision let alone 3D vision (often cuts in half)
Most important game to me of those by far is Dragon Age, and thats not a good result,
Pascal got me legit shook right now
Techspot said:Although the GTX Titan was great for gaming, that wasn't the sole purpose of the GPU, which was equipped with 64 double-precision cores for 1.3 teraflops of double-precision performance. Previously only found in Tesla workstations and supercomputers, this feature made the Titan ideal for students, researchers and engineers after consumer-level supercomputing performance.
A year after the original Titan's release, Nvidia followed up with a full 2880-core version known as the Titan Black, which boosted the card's double-precision performance 1.7 teraflops.
We knew there would be more ahead for Maxwell and so here it comes. Six months after the GTX 980, Nvidia is back with the GeForce GTX Titan X, a card that's bigger and more complex than any other. However, unlike previous Titan GPUs, the new Titan X is designed exclusively for high-end gaming and as such offers similar compute performance similar to the GTX 980. Announced at GDC, there's plenty to be psyched about: headline features include 3072 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR5 memory running at 7Gbps, and a whopping 8 billion transistors. At its peak, the GTX Titan X will deliver 6600 GFLOPS single precision and 206 GFLOPS double precision processing power.
Anyone making a thread for Titan X and its reviews?
I completely missed that they were using 4xMSAA, my apologies, have to admit though the performance on that game in general is underwhelming.
Do you think Pascal will achieve 4k/60fps in most games?
Are there any 980 SLi vs. Titan X reviews yet? That's what I'm most interested in.

I am looking at your site, cant find where to buy it at???

I think I will upgrade to the X from my og Titan.
On the other point, I think for me personally coming from a GTX 980, it's just worth waiting for Pascal, the performance improvement on the Titan X at that price is simply not worth the extra money and I doubt the 12gb VRAM will be used for most games before pascal comes, even at 4k.
55fps at 2xmsaa on a GTX 980 at 1080p is not good performance in my book especially considering how the game looks.

I have 2 friends that are about to shit themselves when I tell them I am giving each of them an Original Titan! They both are using 580's right now. hehehe
