Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

I'll grab one at launch no doubt. Getting closer to a single GPU that can cope with 1440P
@1440p it will probably be about the same performance as GTX 970 SLI.

I still think 21st Feb for Titan X.

Well I'll be ordering a 970 as a stop gap when I get home, hopefully this does come out in a month or two. Will happily shell out, if it preforms.
If you are going to jump, jump now as next year they will not be such good value or have the same longevity.

I called it being 28nm, before anyone else pipes up.
It was always going to be 28nm. Anyone who thought otherwise was grossly misinformed
384bit bus so last year, what a disappointment.
Quit being stoopid'.
Just a guess:
20%+ over GTX 980. Nice gains at higher res.
GTX 980 Ti (6GB) Q3/Q4 2015
GTX Titan X (12GB) Feb 2015
That really is a guess. 20% jump given the specs are 50% higher.

You are happy to stay on 28nm and a 384bit bus ?
I don't think there is anything stupid about what I said.
The only stupid thing I will do with these cards is end up buying some.

again the the bus thing, maxwell has load of on chip cache so it not needing to use the memory sub system nearly as much + compression tech means it dont need such a bug bus. The saved die space can be used for other things.
The 8800 GTX "only" had a 384bit bus, while the 2900pro had a 512bit bus and look what was the better card there.
The technology takes a back seat to the performance.

Big memory bus = Bigger die size

with both AMD and Nvidia having to stick with 28nm due to TSMC, they do have one hand tied behind there back in trying to design a chip that's faster within massive increase in die size (and so card cost).

20nm isn't happening for GPUs, ever. I'm not sure why people keep going on about it. The yields are too low, this has already been said publicly already. Also with the memory bus, people need to stop getting hung up on that as well.

Like I said in the other thread. I wouldn't be surprised if the Titan/Titan Black/Titan-Z go up a fair whack in price as these cards have seriously hurt Tesla business.
The one big weakness the existing Titans have v the 290X at very high resolution is the 384bit bus.
As the resolution/settings increase the 290Xs gain more.
Remember anything NVidia can do with a 384bit bus AMD can do with a 512bit bus but better.
The other point to remember is we are talking about a very high performance no compromise card here not the 9 series cards which are targeted elsewhere.

the 980's with "only" a 256bit bus was still very strong (and better in a lot of case @4k next to 290x's. Even in AMD led titles like Alien: Isolation or GIRD/Drit etc
