I think I will still be using my TXs in 2 years time no problem.

Classic mistake people make with GPUs is they buy the fastest option rather than the best one.

Running out of memory will hurt your gaming experience long before running out of GPU grunt if you are using SLI or CF. In 12 months time games may need 20% more GPU grunt and memory, this is not a problem for the TXs but the 980ti and Fiji cards could struggle.

With DX12 and memory stacking, having an SLI rig with 2 980 Tis means you are set for 15 months, which is enough in my opinion.

Shame memory stacking with DX12 will be as bad as it was with Mantle lol.

If anyone brings in memory stacking with their cards I will avoid them like the plague.:eek:

Remember if you want to use memory stacking it will have to use the PCI-E slots which are way too slow for it.:eek:

Thinking about the upgrade as well, but I can't point to a single game that will push graphics beyond GTA V (I mean, there might be a new gpu series out for when the horse power will be needed).

Im pretty positive we will heard of Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 next month.

What are you talking about??

Nvidia lost nothing with the 970 it was just a lame apology.

Only the vendors lost out.

They got a hell of a lot of hate from angry 970 owners like myself. I'm hoping that scared them into not doing anything like it again.

So memory stacking is not going to be available in PCI-E 16x?

Can you provide a link covering the subject? I'd like to know more about this!

Can not provide a link but benching @2160p using PCi-E 3.0 with 4 cards stretches the bus to the limit. There is no way that a PCI-E 3.0 setup could handle the amount of data needed if stacked memory was used.

Stacked memory is a great advertising gimmick but in practice it will be of no use until something like PCI-E 5.0 is the standard.:)
 
Please lets call it heaping or unifying to avoid confusion...

BTW by the time PCIe 5.0 arrives VRAM b/w could be in the tens of TB/s. :D

You got the not doing anything part right...since they did absolutely nothing for the customers that wanted to return them.

I'm really hoping it won't end up being a 5.5GB thing. Nvidia cards are always best in the high end and I'm hoping that the 970 fiasco showed them that people won't stand for that kind of thing. If they ever pull something like that again I will just have to unfortunately never by nvidia cards again.

According to the report I read on wccf, the memory is split 5.5 + 0.5. I dunno if that's confirmed though.

Lmao x infinity.

They don't care about upsetting people. They upset Intel so badly that Intel flat out refused to license them any more sockets. You really think they give a crap about you?

I would spend some time doing some research if I were you. Nvidia are a cut throat outfit who don't care who they upset.

Still 1.5GB more than Fiji.

This is a point that people don't seem to have picked up on.

NVidia
980 Sept 18th
970 Sept 18th
960 Jan 22nd
Titan X Mar 17th
980ti Mar ??

AMD
285 Sept 2nd

That is indeed FIVE brand new (not rebranded) cards since AMD last brought us anything.

Really the 780ti and Titan Black should be on that list as they are also unanswered releases that came after the 290/290x.
