Nvidia Geforce 'Maxwell' Thread

[Silent_Scone]

I don't think there is any official confirmation on the VRAM front. Don't forget Kepler has been around a long time so I don't expect the 780Ti to remain top dog for much longer.

That's how things work in the industry mate, new chips come along to replace older ones.

After wandering in the 28nm desert I think we're about to be spoiled with a quick transition to 16nm after some truly next-gen 20nm products, what's that saying about waiting for buses...

 

[Yaayuh!]

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti with Maxwell GPU in February

Well this is interesting. According to SweClockers NVIDIA will launch the first Maxwell GPU with the graphics card from GeForce 700 series – not 800.

[Yaayuh!]

That's odd.

So Maxwell Desktop starts at 750Ti and Maxwell mobile starts in the 800s?

lol

The 800's in mobile are kepler parts - AMD did a rename of 7970m to M290x so nvidia followed suit in the laptop marketing wars

Really?

Nvidia has been rebranding mobile gpus since 2008, the 9500M GS was a rebranded 8600M GT.

Umm... no-one is saying Nvidia hasn't odne it in the past, but this generation it was AMD who decided to do it first, and so Nvidia, with it's performance lead, and no need to push the boudary, followed suit.

 

[Gregster]

Both nVidia and AMD are guilty of rebrands. Does anyone care that much?

 

[MooMoo444]

People who buy those cards might

If they cost more sure and I don't know if they do or not in truth. And I doubt that most of the people here have looked into it either on costing.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not exactly something new is it.

Geforce 4MX 400...Geforce 2 MX on steroids.

Its ok, Nvidia have G-Sync for your 30 FPS

 

[Stas823]

I couldn't wait for Maxwell in the end... Have something new from Nvidia on it's way to me..

G-Sync kit?

It is true though. Anything >30fps is supposed to look very good and play very smooth. The low end cards could be a viable option.

What ya got coming Boom?
