Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

[bru]

Sorry, I've not read the whole thread so it may have been asked already, but seeing as Maxwell is quite efficient I wondered what the chances are of us seeing a dual Maxwell card?

None what so ever as Nvidia have run out of letters in the alphabet

This might explain why the GK210 was released:

That reads like GM200 will only be used as a gaming GPU to me?

GK210 will keep on powering compute side of things until Pascal?

AMD R9 390X, Nvidia GTX 980 Ti and Titan X Benchmarks Leaked – GTX 965/ 960 Ti Shows Up Too

Now let’s get straight into it. According to the leaker Nvidia will launch a GeForce GTX card based on a cut down version of the GM200 GPU. The leaker didn’t specify the number of disabled SMMs or the name of the product. So we’ll assume that this will end up being the rumored GTX 980 Ti. Performance figures for a yet unreleased GTX 965/ 960 Ti have also been leaked.

Several benchmarks as well as a GPU block diagram of GM200 have been leaked.

Not a chance

Look at the clockspeeds they chop and change and are very dodgy.

Any reason why the VRAM on a 6gb and 12gb card clock the same lol

And what are the clocks for a reference 295X2 again lol.

Clock speeds aren't static any, not quite sure how that is news to you. Boost clocks which change for any given game. There is also no reason why 6 and 12gb cards shouldn't have the same vram clocks.

I'm not saying they are real, but better reviews these days will quote a clock speed in a given game because it changes and that is an important thing buyers should know before buying if for no other reason than someone will buy a card look at clock speeds and wonder why it's running 30mhz lower than they expected.

295X2 does not underclock unless installed by an idiot, I should not have to remind you that stock is 1018/1250.

And why are all 9 series cards including future releases memory 7000mhz, I already own six 9 series cards and none of them underclock to that lol.

Then there is the 290X running @991/1250, well this is possible as AMD card reference coolers are pretty useless or am I wrong.

Most of the info on that table is not quite right and looks like the work of a poor fraudster.

List the gtx 780 as 7Ghz as well.

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-980/specifications

Nvidia list it as 7Gb/s, OCUK have them almost all listed at 7010Mhz for whatever reason. I wouldn't nitpick over 10Mhz but that is just me.

as for underclocking, a 295x2's default clock is 947Mhz, it's boost clock is 1018Mhz. Driver issue, particular system, again 10Mhz is mostly nitpicking. If they were saying 400Mhz or 1200Mhz that would be one thing.

But we again seem to be in a situation that you are making some strange assumptions.

290x coolers aren't useless and again stock clocks aren't what you think they are, what they will boost too depends on the system. The cooling, where they are testing, driver set, maybe simply the application reading the clocks which could be rounding up or down.

Believe the numbers or not, but using inaccurate stock clocks to discount the clocks you see isn't a particular good reason to not believe them.

again as you can see here, in various games the 295x2 ran at different clocks.

You were the one who was saying that the table showed actual clocks, unfortunately for you the actual memory clock of a 980 is 1752 not rounded down to 1750 lol.

Then again the core clock on the 295X2 in the table is not the same as the specs which states it is 1018 and this is what they run at. That table is total rubbish.

Here is a link to the 295X2 specs

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-252-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1515

The cooler on the reference 290X is very poor indeed as it is way too noisy and AIB partners custom coolers run at far lower temps. Yes the 290X can run @94c but that does not do the rest of the PC much good.
