maxwell Titan 34% faster

Might treat myself to a 980ti if that's what the smaller sibling is, if the new TITAN is 34% faster I can't see the sibling being that far behind.

They won't be able to call it a 980 Ti as it will be on a completely diferent chip i.e 780 and 780 Ti are both GK110, 980 is GM204 and fully enabled and the next chip will be either GM200 or GM210.

This hasn't stopped them before.
 
Hmmm, thing is if it's £900-ish for the new Titan that's the same price as 2x980 SLI setup. GPU scaling in most benchmarks seems pretty efficient these days but I keep hearing people complaining about it in daily use and recommending a single faster card instead. I've never owned a SLI setup myself so I'm not in a position to comment either way though.

Which option do you reckon would be better assuming the numbers £850 and 34% faster than a 980 are to be believed?

A Maxwell Geforce Titan or 980 SLI ?

If you are looking for bang for buck from the green team then GTX 970 x 3 and you will still have some change out of a single Maxwell Titan.

Having said that though the 970/80 and the full fat Maxwell cards will have different target markets with the Titans aimed at high resolution work needing plenty of VRAM.

Nothing wrong with the drivers, it is a hardware limitation.

The full fat Maxwell cards will prove that.

What are you on about? You don't half talk some rubbish sometimes lol


I'm referring to GPU scaling in a cluster of recent games specifically. No doubt you're still jibbering on about memory bandwidth lol.

Do you need to insult people at every opportunity who disagree with you, if so please feel free to carry on lol.

As to the question of drivers, it is very simple logic. They work fantastic at low resolutions but when the resolution is increased the performance of the 9 series drops off quite a bit, this has got nothing to do with drivers as they have already demonstrated that they work fine at low resolution. This is purely a limitation of the design of the cards.

If you have any more insults please please please try and make them funny as I work with a guy who is an expert on the subject.:D
 
Not being funny, I was being entirely sincere.

It's not the drivers it's a hardware limitation.

Of what? You don't even know to what I was referring. I don't want to have to come home from work to have to try and decipher an episode of 'Kaap knows best'!

There is an insult in there and it is not very funny, you will have to try harder.:D
 
Trust me your expertise on this matter is no laughing matter. It's not worth getting into a titter tatter with someone who clearly knows everything there is to know about GM204.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about anyway
 
High or low resolutions, Nvidia drivers have been poor as of late, especially since the 34x.xx family of drivers. Nothing seems to get fixed, each driver release of this family has been a game ready driver, as in a profile for a new game, thats it, no fixes, no performance updates nothing.

If I hadn't shelled out £700 on a GSync monitor I'd have given up by now.
