16nm GM200 Titan II being tested..

IMO you simply cannot use the term "value" to describe any of the cutting edge technology.

To one person wanting the fastest / smoothest / ultimate 4K performance 4Titans is good value from their point of view. However for most people such a statement is utter rubbish. They would never pay thousands on GPUs alone. Its all subjective.

People have different requirements and different budgets. Value is just not applicable to such discussions. Are ANY of the top tier cards EVER really good value? Why not play medium settings at 1080p on a budget GPU? Many are happy to do just that.

Just my thoughts.
 
Huang added that “right now we’re enjoying ramping Maxwell. And so Maxwell is unquestionably at this point a home run and we’re just savoring the moment and ramping the living daylights out of it”.

I think a little sex wee just came out.

Cant wait for 16/20nm Maxwell.

4K in the latest titles is only really for the people who are willing to spend thousands every year on new GPU's although you can run older titles in 4K at a constant 60fps even with 1 x GPU :)

The new 8gb 290x cards seem to get a good boost at 4k, i bet them in crossfire would rival the titans for low cost.
 
Interested to see how this develops. Good old Nvidia milking every single penny they can :)

If the performance boost is huge maybe the current gen won't seem like such good value for money in comparison.
 
Interesting. Will be a monster if this is in anyway true.

An unknown person has benchmarked an unknown graphics card using SiSoftware’s Sandra benchmark, according to online database of the program. Based on the specification of the hardware, the person benchmarked a graphics card powered by Nvidia Corp.’s code-named GM200 graphics processing unit. If the specs are correct, then expect graphics cards featuring the new flagship GPU to offer 50 per cent higher compute performance when compared to GeForce GTX Titan Black.Based on an entry in the SiSoftware’s database, Nvidia’s GM200 graphics processing unit features 3072 stream processors, 24 streaming multiprocessors (SMM), 3MB L2 cache and 384-bit memory bus. If the architecture of SMMs and graphics processing clusters (GPCs) of the GM200 is similar to that of SMMs and GPCs of the GM204, then the chip sports 192 texture units and 96 raster operations pipelines. The graphics card based on the GM200 GPU features 1.1GHz/1.39GHz GPU frequencies as well as 6GHz memory clock-rate; the board is equipped with 12GB of GDDR5 memory.

Not too sure what to make of the SiSoft Sandra scores as if this is all true then the Nvidia card came in at rank 236 where as the new AMD card came in at rank 156.

It is worth noting that the AMD card did 2 runs scoring 63.6GB/s and 42.5GB/s where as the Nvidia card did 3 runs scoring 55.2GB/s, 14.1GB/s and 47.9GB/s. No idea why that one run on the Nvidia card scores so low, it maybe effecting the overall result.

It isn't a compulsory purchase like food though. Taking the **** would be for things like water rates/electric bill/community charges/gas bills and they do take the **** :(

Point is, you don't HAVE to buy it.

I don't think milking is the right word, the product itself looks good but the price is out of whack. Everyone seems to think £800 but I think they're dreaming. NV must have been shocked with the original Titan popularity so this time they will want to test just how much money they can charge for a GeForce-branded card. See: Titan Z. They know 3 grand is too much but where exactly is the cut-off point? Hence I have been saying all along £1200.

That's business I guess.
 
Price will probably be in the £999 range I'm thinking, I know someone who will be buying 3 to 4 of these come launch day, Would be amazing to have so much disposable income :)

I reckon $1099, so whatever that exchanges into. Titan was $999 iirc, so not much more of a premium :)
