Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

If you look at the GTX 770 vs the GTX 780TI the difference is about 40 or 45%, intrestingly the GTX 770 is also higher clocked than the 690.
One of two things, either Anand have not updated the 690 performance in line with driver updates or its throttling.
i suspects its a bit of both. not to mention SLI scaling.

Right, its not, And Its just a bit of debate

Patiently waiting for Titan II..
You would hope that was the case if Nvidia are going to justify a Titan branding and price again. That 390X is looking like no slouch either.
Agreed, I made the thread and along with Maxwell discussion, debating between the cards is what it is for. As long as it doesn't turn into fanboy stuff. It's fine. You carry on Humbug.
390X looks like a monster from the rumoured spec, likewise the Titan II..
Looking forward to when these new cards finally arrive !

Little bit upset it's apparently pushed back till Oct 2015, but what can you do?

I find it quite hard to believe that Nvidia wont release a reasonably high end graphics card by the end of this year or very early next year. The 780 was released in May 2013 and the 780Ti coming out in November 2013, so if the 800 series came out in october 2015 that would leave a two year gap between generations, something I doubt Nvidia will want to do at all

I am fairly sure that we will see some new Nvidia cards within the next few months. Manufacturing partners seem to have cancelled their 6GB 780Ti plans (see EVGA support thread) strongly signifying the release of some new cards fairly soon, I don't really keep up to date with any of the finer details with TSMC but the above is good evidence for "imminent" releases anyway. Of course, anything within the next few months won't be 20nm or lower lithography process, but if the performance gains (if any, the new cards could be mid-range to replace the 760-770?) are significant then it doesn't really matter either way.
You'd have thought nvidia would want to have their next cards releasing around the time of Intel's X99 platform, as people who'll be buying into that platform are likely to also be people who'll buy a top end graphics card too.
As for AMD info being off topic, I actually believe it is relevant. If AMD don't release something soon or push nvidia then nvidia will just hold back and when the do release you've got the whole price gouging that then happens too.
Anyhow, my point is holdups for either brand is bad for us as the consumers. Unfortunately issues with TMSC processes etc aren't something they can do much about.

I wish they wouldn't.

Not me, to be frank, and i don't think AMD will respond in a knee jerk reaction like that, i want AMD to release GPU's when they have refinement and drivers ecte; all just so, when they are good and ready.
Its not AMD's job to hold down Nvidia prices, if a perspective buyer only has eye's for Nvidia then they should pay whatever Nvidia ask and not complain about it.
I just bought my new GPU a few months ago, i'm happy with it for a long while yet.
No I don't mean kneejerk reactions I just mean healthy competition between the two forces progress, keeps prices under control etc. which is good for us the end user.
If maxwell is only delayed due to TMSC then that's ok, not much can be done about that.
Caporegime
Yeah, i'm not sure there is much competition. it seems to me Nvidia can charge what they like and get away with it these days, even reviewers do little more than have a 5 minute timid whiny moan and then go back to pandering to the highest bidder, who ever they might be at the time.

sweclockers seem to think that maxwell will be 28nm and released in Q4, most likely in October or November, and will be 28nm: http://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/19...nya-grafikkort-i-prestandaklassen-till-hosten
Google isn't the best at translating the article, but according to wccfetch, that article is a proper, authentic confirmation that maxwell will definitely be out by November. You can decide whether the difference is due to a poor translation at my end by google, or the usual wccfetch exaggeration: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-release-date-gtx-880-gtx-870-october-november/#ixzz37lBw6iR7
