Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

[_Alatar_]

Nope.

And it never ceases to amaze me how many people think that a "confirmed" article on some rumor website means that Nvidia/AMD/Intel has said something.

Usually these companies don't say a word before NDA lift.

Why let that stand in the way of a good Nvidia bashing.

Nvidia in THEIR OWN PRESS MATERIALS said "GRAND FINALE" so yes, they fail. Hard. Fake hypers.

Very misleading if you ask me.

Yes but unfortunately if you reread the article, Nvidia themselves did not say anything about new cards or any mention of specific cards at all other than "Geforce GTX graphics cards". everything else is just rumour and guesswork by the site, article author and of course us lot.

 

[Drangueos]

They didn't say anything, but will be soon because of the amount of deals that all retailers are doing on the actual cards, probably to clear the stock

Lot's of places saying September for Maxwell cards, with the GTX 880 coming first.

Thinking I may go Maxwell as it seems a more complete GPU, compute power is back is spades with Maxwell and performance per watt is much higher..

How many of you guys will buy a GTX 880 in Sept if it outperforms GTX 780 Ti by any margin?

 

[TonyTurbo78]

I'm waiting on single card solution, but it would need to be a ton faster than a 780ti for me to drop these 7950s. I really want it to be super good, but it's just not going to be that card.

I will for sure. I need the extra power due to recent monitor upgrade I'm hopeful that these cards perform really well under water.

 

[bru]

It will be the 870 for me probably, maybe two depending on price and the price of X99 motherboards.

870 SLI for me...cash is waiting.

(pretty sure my 650w Superflower Gold PSU will be enough given the reduced power demands of Maxwell.)

Count me in...depending on price. Got rid of the 290 and currently plodding along with a 5850

EDIT: And by depending on price, I mean it needs to be around 780ti pricing. Which need to come down a tad anyway...

I really can't see them dropping in September after nothing at Gamescom. I think they will get announced at their special event but will be aiming for November/December release.

I will pick up an 880 depending on price and performance over 780ti/870

Gigabyte did publicly announce that they would be releasing in September.

I will be looking at them long and hard - for the 6xx series the 680 was a bit of a dissappointment when I can from the 580gtx so I went 670 SLI to compensate

If the 880 is worth the premium I will definitely buy at least one, but most likely do SLI again. If the 880 isn't then it's definitely SLI 870s. If that makes sense? haha..

My primary motivator is 2gb of VRAM atm with this monitor - secondary is wanting to push 144fps

the top end card usually has a price premium that isn't justified by the actual FPS difference - with the 680/670 this was certainly true and is also true of the 780/780ti now

if they are both GM204 based it will probably be true of the 880/870 as well I would imagine

 

[Boomstick777]

^^ Yeah I dropped down to a single R9 270, fancy moving to a single GTX 880. I think despite not being the top part, it will offer 290X/780Ti performance level possibly a bit better but with much lower power consumption, sounds ideal to me. Hopefully get some Maxwell info after AMD's event this weekend. Then have a good idea of how these new cards will perform.

 

[Disco_P]

All these posts about people selling their primary cards before the launch of an unknown product and I am just sitting here with a gtx 660 and 680 that I have had to sell for over a year.

Props to those willing to take that risk and sacrifice. I'll just "wait and see"

 

[Jono8]

If an 880 performs the same as my two 670's but with nearly half the power consumption I will be very tempted to sell up and go for a single 880.
