Cmon Nvidia something new.

I thought they already announced the 800 series coming in Q4 on 28nm? 880 will be a 28nm GM204 chip with 256 bit memory bus. Wouldn't expect too much from it tbh, its the 680 all over again.
 
Think I will be skipping the next two generations as I don't think going from 28nm-20nm will make much performance difference, not like how it was from a HD 7970 to HD 6970 anyway. 4GB VRAM on a R9 290 will be fine for me then when 4k IPS is cheap enough I can upgrade everything all at once.

Getting to a point where everything is getting to expensive for such little gains.

Yea...I remember how everyone thought the 40nm t0 28nm jump would have made huge performance improvement, but what we actually got was AMD had huge performance going from HD6950/HD6970 to HD7950/HD7970, but the HD7950/HD7970 wasn't that hugely faster than the GTX580 at the time; then on Nvidia side people were expecting the fat GK110, yet they got the GK104 instead, and the GK110 go push back by another gen.

Midrange card faster than GTX 780Ti by 50%?

What have you been smoking matey?

Little bit to optimistic their bud :p

Maybe I've had too much sun :p but it would be nice as the 580 to 680 was quite a decent speed boost and lets face it the 680 was a midrange card disguised as a flagship. So to clarify by midrange I mean GTX 880, which will be a flagship on paper even though they might release a Titan 2, GTX 980, 980Ti and Titan Black 2 for example.

That being said if NVIDIA release a 256bit 28nm GTX 880 then no way will I expect it to be anything special.

"Top range" wouldn't be coming on 28nm. If they did, don't expect it to be much faster than the GK110. Chances are GTX880 would be equal or slower to the GTX780Ti, then Nvidia release a 20nm Titan, then release a GTX880Ti on 20nm 6-9 months later.

Based on what?

If you take an actual Maxwell card (the 750Ti) as a reference we can see that they will still be able to make a 28nm card that will be faster than the 780Ti and use less power.

Take 750Ti as reference for Maxwell on 28nm could simply mean waving the lower power consumpton flag very hard, while the performance to price is nothing to write home about...

I am disappoint if they release a Midrange Maxwell card first, but will probably still be tempted if it's 50%+ faster than a 780Ti.

Go buy a Titan-Z :p

Anyway, I thought I read they were releasing the 870 and 880 first? That's hardly mid-range :p

£700? That's too high. £550 at most. then lower the 780's and 780Ti's to £400

Surely there's no way it'd be £550. Given that I'm probably away to sell 1 290 due to heat I'd be incredibly tempted to pick that up and sell the other one. Especially if it was a 6gb model. Even at £650 it may well be something I'd get. Still would imagine it's going be more than that.
