Mantle does sound awesome, but then Nvidia and AMD are going to try and 'sell' their proprietary software to the consumer.
Sounds great in theory but in reality may not be as great as it sounds.
I personally think in terms of getting more out of hardware, SteamOS will shine, remove the Windows hit altogether and run streamlined OS for gaming. Code direct to the metal. Either way, PC gaming is only going to get bigger from this point onwards.

It's possible with mixed density modules.

Didn't the presentation say that the card will be placed just under 8000 in firestrike?
Though if you can OC it to that level that's great.

It's claimed by Softpedia 6GB variants will come later.

Look what i found.
I think that graph looks very dodgy if all those were done on the same PC.
The overall score for the "blank" of 8623 is far too low for a graphics score of 10232. For it to be correct the overall scores for the Titan and the "blank" would need to be within about 150 points of each other.

Nvidia can use Mantle it seems.
Anything over £500 id say is too much, and over the 800-900 mark ridiculous. I think the current AMD pricing and the nvidia prices (600 series) is spot on, the 700 series feels way to overprced to me. We will have to wait and see what the UK launch prices are going to be for AMD before i can comment on them.
The most i have spent on a card in the last few years is £260, but id pay around £400 for a card if i felt the need. atm im gaming on a 1080p 60hz screen so theres no need to spend that amount, but when i get a 120hz screen id be looking at buying a high end card.
Fair enough and sound reasoning. It's only because I have gone to 1440p gaming that I required a beefier card. Otherwise I'd be doing the same as you.

Would need complete PCB revision but is possible by board partners. Not probable though!!
Yes I am doing air also Rossi (Oh dear!!!!) But for fun factor I will be doing CPU at 6ghz!!! Just to remove the bottleneck
Kapp those Firestrike slides are not correct.

I thought there would be a 4gb/8gb version?

Seems that 4k eyenfinity stuff will be fixed too.
Reported by "PCper" even though they are supposed to be nvidia fanboys. Actually, they are independent.

Its going to cost an arm and a leg as well no doubt.

The ref PCB is not designed for this in ref guise. Needs full refresh and will be on board partners to do so.
