AMD on 16nm GPUs: up to 200% better power efficiency over previous gen

[Gregster]

So why did you get a titan x?

Why are you confused? It was the fastest card available so I got it.

Just makes you wonder were AMD would be if they had access to decent fabrication plants. Also shows just how good ARM technology is that it takes Intel to produce chips on a 14 nm process just to keep up with there competitors.

What's ARM got to do with anything?

Also, lol at the fanboys, always the same faces.

He was probably confused because you wrote that 'I am sick to death of 28nm' but just recently bought a 28nm Titan X.

Unless you're disappointed with your Titan X? Then your first post makes sense. I know what you meant, but it's just the way you wrote it that could cause confusion..

I am chuffed to bits with the TX but since the 680, it just feels like drip fed gains.

Yeah I think by 28nm's end we'll have been milked dry

Still the Titan X is a good card, the best Nvidia can achieve on 28nm

Looking forward to seeing AMD's best 28nm card soon.

Then finally move onto a die shrink next year, and both camps moving to HBM 2, will be like a reset in the GPU space and the whole thing will start over again

Guess you not been following 980ti or titanx also to some degree..

You can't go wrong with less power efficiency.. Bring on 16nm

Good shout out, the 970 was hot for me and looking at the 980/980TI/X, they're hitting hot temps on air quiet easily, the ref cooler is a bit crap now on this nm

To be fair your sig should read 'Clash of the Titan"

It's still 28nm fab process regardless of being the fastest card on the market

Well there was no alternative, so 28nm or 28nm. Not sure what you are getting at but for me, 14nm please and Pascal.

To be fair these are prob the last cards from AMD and Nvidia on 28nm, what with dx12 coming next month, I expect games by the end of the year and early next year. It could be a shrewd move to wait it out on 1080p and current cards and bank your cash til the newer cards come next year and dx12 has some traction and momentum.

I'm in the market for a new gpu and a 1440p 144hz screen, however my wife said something to me last night that made me think, she said "your always playing that same game don't you get bored?"

Now I mainly play Elder Scrolls online and occasionally D3 and Guil Wars2, none of them have any probs on my PC at max settings, I can see myself still playing these games this time next year, so I'm thinking now should I even bother right now upgrading? Just bank the dosh and wait? By the time the die shrinks happen we should have newer screens to

AMD have a long history of coming out first.

..and NVidia of doing it properly . THat's not a dig a AMD, but often with new technology the later arrivals do it differently, usually better . Often in history you'll find the companies that brought a new product to market were out done eventually.
I don't know much about what DX12 will bring but I wouldn't be surprised if when AMD release their DX12 cards they're better at DX12 specific implementations (as they've had more time to implement it on their cards). Remember tessellation although back then it was nVidia who took a while to release DX11 cards.

100-150w high end cards would be nice.

I am sick to death of 28nm and want something new to play with.

How can you be sick to death of something and then buy it anyway. That is what I am getting at. You contradict yourself as your gpu history shows that you want the best card every year regardless if it brings minor incremental performance increases.

If it bothered you then you'd wait it out for Pascal (which is what I am personally doing) as compared to the last couple of generation NVIDIA cards these will offer a new fabrication process and a whole host of new exciting technologies.
