Dear. God.

[Corgi]

tax rebate season. shit is timed too perfectly

 

[Kezen]

i don't get it, whats the point of all this power if nobody is taking advantage of it.

Many third party games will put this beast to work at high resolution. Batman AK, The Witcher 3 to name a few.

 

[Zaph]

Seriously consider it if it's under £1k.

Been thinking about grabbing a Dell 5k monitor from work, but don't want to replace my Dell 1440p without a GPU which can handle 5k on medium high settings. CBA with SLI hassle.

 

[AmyS]

It's interesting to note that 1.5 years after the PS4 launched that what will likely be a $1000 videocard is only 50% more powerful (8GB RAM vs 12GB here). This is why I find it difficult to start PC gaming despite the usually lower game prices.

The GTX 680 that launched in March 2012, almost 1 year before PS4 was even announced was already considerably more powerful than the then yet-to-be revealed PS4.

comparisom of two important specs
GTX 680: ~3.0 TFLOPs - 32.2 billion pixels/sec (release March 2012)

PS4: ~1.8 TFLOPS - 25.6 billion pixels/sec (release November 2013)

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

So that's what's hidden inside the Xbox One, and makes it so much more powerful than the PS4.

If it's £1k probably not if I can find it a fair bit under that then it's a definite possibility.

What kind of math are you applying? TitanZ has 8.1 Tflops of computational power, that's closer to 400% or like 4 PS4's taped together, and only GOD knows what Titan X will have, 600% - 800% more power? :O

 

[Yurikerr]

It's still a year away from release, they designed it with future graphics cards in mind.

Yeah, i understand this. I never followed the project close. I just find curious that even with few media that we can see a lot of people are quick to point them as the prime example.

I'm not saying that they aren't, i just would like to see more about the project to share the excitement. (maybe it's my fault that i don't follow it close)

Sorry for being off-topic

Notice the X... and the green. I think you are on to something.

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

Sadly no - even if it's 50% faster then 980 then a lot of modern games would have <60 fps drops at 4k.

But now you can go nuts with SLI without the 12GB framebuffer bottlenecking.

It's actually the physical embodiment of "the power of the cloud", just that you'll have to spend at least 1K for it and it doesn't work with the XB1.

*looks at his HD 7970*

Yup, you're being trashed soon

Lol.

If Microsoft actually starts to commit to cross-platform development properly maybe it's what the power of the cloud was all along.

I'm in the same boat. I think I'll wait for the 390x before I make a decision, though.

Everything's better with a TITAN.

 

[Zombie James]

At the UE4 live stream
12 GB framebuffer

Spoiler

PS4 am cry

8 Billion Transistors

Spoiler

xbone am cry

The only thing crying will be people's bank accounts. I'll be shocked if this is a sub-$1500 card.

 

[Ramza]

The boat I'm in, too. My 7950 is showing its age, so I can't wait to upgrade!

Edit - Sigh beaten...

 

[DieH@rd]

If its more expensive that 350-400€, I don't want it.

 

[Hawk269]

Here's a direct link to the announcement:

http://www.twitch.tv/unrealengine/b/632577690?t=47m17s

Thanks for providing this. Just watched it, came, came again and now I need to take a nap.

Damn can't wait. It sounds like it was suppose to be announced on 3/17, but they jumped ahead. Is it me or did he imply it releasing soon?

[kabel]

My 270X cries in the corner.


But I won't upgrade until there are 16nm GPUs with HBM for under 200€.

So 2016 it will be....

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I find it weird when "framebuffer" is used in this way.

 

[mr stroke]

no way NVIDIA prices this THAT high. Otherwise 2x980's would be cheaper and offer more performance.

My guess $1099
(crossing fingers for $1000 so I can get 2)

 

[Dr. Kaos]

Oh, I remember the good old days, when the best GPU available cost $399 and $500 was considered outrageous.

nVidia deserves a salute for managing to convince people to buy GPUs for thousands of dollars!

Press F to pay respects.

 

[Hawk269]

Will keep you warm in winter.

And with that in mind it is a steal really.

Actually Maxwell runs really cool and has a lot less power draw than previous cards in Nvidia's line up.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Time to get a third job.

 

[Durante]

I find it weird when "framebuffer" is used in this way.

Fun fact: your frame would need to be around 36000*22000 pixels for it to require that size, and that's assuming a rather fat G-buffer.

It's pretty much down to lack of competition. Sadly same with Intel CPU's

 

[copelandmaster]

I have a Titan.

At less than $1500, I'll own a Titan X.

I dunno. As a Titan Black owner, I wouldn't pay any more than $900 for an X.

Do you use compute for anything at all?

 

[Hawk269]

have you tried to game at 4k with a modern title with acceptable frame rates w/ high or max settings

you should try and report back



hawk pls

you are a vet. horse has been pulling this for years and people keep falling for it lmao



$1,000

Your are right Smokey, I let that comment get the best of me. It did reek of stupidity and I fell for it. Hehe.

So you getting 1 or 2 of these? I am eyeing SLI, I think SLI will easily give us 4k/60fps at max setting in all games (assuming here).

 

[kulapik]

The rumored price back in January was $1349.

[mr stroke]

[AmyS]

I'll probably go with an 8GB GTX 1080 (or whatever)

One would think Nvidia will launch GTX 1000 series in time for Windows 10 in the late summer or early fall.

AMD's R9-300 series is meant to be coming late spring / early summer.

Why so low Hawk?

Aim for the stars.

Wow you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

If it doesn't cost more than my whole rig I'll probably get one.

 

[mkenyon]

Wow you have no idea what you're talking about.

You're new here, but Horse does this in every thread about something like this.

They're kidding.

 

[pooptest]

Will this one be cancelled, too, when AMD announces an almost comparable card for 1/2 the price?

 

[shandy706]

Don't respond to this type of post until reading at least one page of quotes beyond it.

[viveks86]

Was pretty funny seeing him walk in with the card wrapped up in his jacket. Did NOT see that coming. Especially after yesterday's snorefest. I guess they are holding everything back for GTC

 

[Metal-Geo]

Fun fact: your frame would need to be around 36000*22000 pixels for it to require that size, and that's assuming a rather fat G-buffer.

Wouldn't that be only 3GB?

 

[marlowesghost]

I mean horse armour sounded so sincere. It's just like something I would have expected to read. And two years isn't that new. I just don't post often.

That's basically Horse's shtick, the first time I encountered it his name tipped me off.
