Nvidia preparing new Geforce with GK110

lol! :D "Do one, AMD!"

It's fair game though Noxia, considering all the numbers are there they're taking their sweet time letting us know. Be interesting to see what Nvidia reveal today (if anything GPU related).

I may still get just the one 290X even if reviews don't shine, so I can put it to the test against the Titan myself TBH. I'm the same as you in the sense price doesn't really matter too much. If the performance is there so am I :D. Financially it makes as much sense as an impact parachute. I just love tinkering lol.

NVIDIA is pushing 4K, hard, and for good reason - it's amazing

NVIDIA Editors' Day 2013 - NVIDIA is pushing 4K here at its Editors' Day in Montreal, Canada, and for good reason - it kicks ass. NVIDIA had three demo stations setup with Project CARS, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and my favorite demo: Star Citizen.



All games were being run at the glorious 4K resolution, with Assassin's Creed IV being played on a gigantic 85-inch 4K TV from LG. The 85-inch display was impressive on its own right, but Star Citizen was absolutely gorgeous at 4K. I stood there for a good half an hour talking with some NVIDIA reps about it, and the amount of passion they had for PC, gaming, 4K and tech is general is great. Star Citizen looks absolutely sublime in 4K and it is really going to be the benchmark of PC gaming when it comes out.

Yes, now I don't mind if it's all suspense then boom! amazing GPU, that is good for everyone. What I really don't want is suspense,-------------, meh. This would be another let down for me from the red camp and probably be the straw that breaks the camels back.
I'm too old (I think) for fanboyism, makes me laugh when someone accuses me of such although tbh it's not happened outright, just people coming back with anti NVIDIA stuff when I don't gush over AMD. I am a gamer, I want the best gaming experience and I don't care if NVIDIA, AMD or Tesco enable me to do that.
It is throwing money down the drain but that is the same as when I was messing about with my car, you can't not do anything because it doesn't make sense financially all the time! Otherwise we'd all just save.
Personally I cannot wait for 4K, I'm just not interested in it now, there is one? monitor at some absurd price and I'm really happy with 1440p having only recently moved from 1080p, I suspect millions are happy with 1080p.
 
Well this is it. I think both companies are nuts trying to push 4K at the moment. I bet you could count the gamers on one hand in the UK that would be happy playing games at 30 frames a second. Especially PC gamers! :D

I think fanboyism is just the most ridiculous thing. I have 3 290X on pre-order here. I don't even know if these cards will do the numbers for sure yet. I'm putting trust in AMD to deliver with them and Mantle having made such a fuss this time round.

I have 3 Titans in my PC at the moment so I don't even remotely need to change over. So by definition that probably makes me the least likely fanboy in existence :D. But possibly the biggest idiot.
 
My thoughts exactly. If not a graphics card my hope is for a VR HMD device.

I hope that isn't it. Unless they have perfected it, the glasses free 3DS is very annoying if you moved your head and the same was mentioned on the glasses free 3D. You have to maintain a perfectly still head or it just doesn't work.

Please don't be this.

im on the fence on this one. i heard (from a non-verified inside source) that LG is shipping 24" 4K OEM panels in Q1 2014. so we will probably start to see consumer products to hit the shelf around end of Q1. most of the 4k screens now are 27" or above, which is out of most people's reach (not just money wise, space wise too). but once the more common sizes start to ship in 4K flavor, then i think there will be a stronger drive for high performing cards. so i think by announcing the new cards now will be give both teams a good starting position. especially if they use the top/unreachable cards as benchmark now then release just-about-ok-running-4k toned down cards in 6 months time. and that will also sit nicely just above the multi-cards solution from last generation like 7950 x3 (for example).
 
It's not so much the prices of the panels mate. I think more people would be inclined even at the pioneer prices if it weren't for the simple fact that even if money was no object - you're still looking at 1,300 worth of GPUs to get anywhere remotely close to a respectable framerate. The hardware just isn't there yet.

It's something I want/need to witness for myself but when you're hearing comments of "over 30fps for the most part" on top-end hardware it makes me want to cry. I can't see the next lineup of cards next year being that much closer either.

Isn't there something that makes the picture look all distorted when you go too small. I am sure I read this (hopefully didn't dream it) and will do some digging to see if I can find it. I understand the real estate but for me, 27" or above is a must now.

yea, true. i do agree to certain extend. looking at interview for the BF4 demo machine. they had to toned down the resolution to 3K even with 2 7990 in their demo machine. but i still think what they show us now is at least 2 years behind their leading in-house technologies so im sure they have something already in-house that can run 4K smoothly on a single card. it's just that, there is no requirement on the market to push them to release it on the mass market just yet...... i think.

i think there is a limitation, but i dont think we are there yet. my logic is that, now we are seeing full HD screen on tablets and some up coming phone, so i think the pixel density can still be pushed somewhat in the near future (i.e. i think it will be above 4K before the limitation hits :D)

Yeah there is such a thing as too much pixel density but not sure what point that is, think it's a lot higher than 4K
