Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

[Orangey]

Titan's reportedly sold very well, and perhaps much better than even Nvidia were expecting... what might have happened had they announced the 780 at the same time? still think they would have sold as many Titan's early on?

Hmm, it should really have been obvious that a salvage part would be forthcoming though.

Unless we're talking about normals.

Do you guys think I can hold out on my current GTX 680s (2-way SLI) which I managed to blag from a relative for free?! I feel they are starting to struggle with some games now.

At 1080p i wouldn't be upgrading atm those should do fine for most games

 

[Azza666]

I've been trying to game at 2560x1600. Maybe I should tone it down to 1080p with maybe a bit more AA to get rid of the dreaded jaggies.

I'm going to try holding off!

LCD will not look good non native RES.

I game at 2304x1440 on 1x 780Ti so near same as your GPU power.

Darkish games do not need AA at that RES a lot of times or only 2xAA if real AA not this edge AA crap.

Try to hold off or regret later, I should have keep on my 680 4GB till Maxwell but got the itch.

Could look at something like Sweet FX instead of using in game MSAA.

Still 28nm as thought. Hopefully AMD can compete with their revised core (and possibly on GloFo's improved 28nm process)

 

[RetrogamerX]

Thanks boom. I think I'll wait until next year for the full fat GPU's

Yup, I've no reason to even consider a gfx upgrade til 16/20nm is out in force (and possibly then til the 2nd gen on the same process)

 

[Boomstick777]

28nm: Maxwell Nvidia Titan 'Ultra milking edition'.


Hopefully these will actually be on 20nm.. 28nm has been around for to long imho..

 

[Dicehunter]

Urrghhh, More 28nm

Guess I'll be keeping hold of my rusty 780 Ti until next year then.

 

[Deceptor]

Will see what they offer, either way I think it'll be a worthy upgrade from my 670s.

 

[Dicehunter]

I've got a new way of thinking when it comes to GPU upgrades, If the next top of the line single GPU *880 Ti for example* can outperform 2 of the current high end GPU's *780 Ti* in SLI then I will swap to it, Otherwise I'll just wait another generation

 

[PhysicsMan94]

I'll probably just wait for the GTX-980 before I upgrade.

 

[teejay73]

I wonder just how much better they will be over the gtx 780/ti if they are going to be cheaper?

[RetrogamerX]

I think you should be ok until then. I don't see too many games taxing the current gen gpu's any time soon. ok maybe 2gb cards might, but everything else should be ok

If VR takes off my GPU requirements could be holding steady in the medium term. At the moment my surround setup needs 382320000 pixels per second (res of 5900*1080*60fps), not even counting the extra overhead from games that support rendering a separate view to each screen. Compare that with proposed Oculus Rift CV1 specs of 2560*1440*90fps = 331776000 pixels per second.

With a 4930K and 780's in SLI I could be set for years Well at least until 20nm

 

[bru]

If this GM204 is still at 28nm then it is really gonna have to push it to be faster then the currant 780ti, Maxwell architecture so roughly double the performance over the 680, that puts it in 690 territory not exactly a massive step in any direction from a 780ti is it. not quite sure what to make of it all to be honest.

 

[JediFragger]

Well if GM100 has been cancelled, it really isn't boding well for 20nm anytime soon;

NVIDIA Maxwell GM100:
The NVIDIA Maxwell GM100 chip would consist of 8 GPCs consisting of 24 SMX modules (3 SMX Per GPC), 384 TMUs, 6144 Cuda Cores, 8 MB of L3 Cache (8 L2 cache’s per GPC), 64 ROPs, a 512-bit interface followed by a VRAM upto 8 GB GDDR5 operation at around 6 GHz. The GM100 is supposed to replace the high-performance GK110 chip so its going to end up in both GeForce parts and Tesla parts. It will probably show up in the Tesla parts first before shipping to consumers.
Clock frequencies would be maintained at different levels for each product tier as listed below:
GeForce GM100: 930 MHz Core / 1 GHz Boost
Tesla GM100: 850 MHz (2.61 TFlops DP)
