nVidia - What comes next?

[chaparral]

GM204 doesn't need a Vapor chamber. If you had difficulty with your cards in SLI it's probably because of the airflow in your case. Mine never exceeded 75c.

Kaapstad has quad SLI ..

And some cards

​

. Is there a roadmap or an ETA on the next series? Will it be called 10xx?

Given that Nvidia's strategy of selling midrange chips as high end has worked very well for them, I would imagine the "full fat" Maxell will be milked next - as the Titan II or whatever. After that, they'll doubtless castrate it and release it as a consumer model, much as happened with the 680 (midrange chip) -> Titan (full chip) -> 780 (full chip).

I think with 3 cards the cooler is fine but with 4 and running Heaven 4 the temps keep going up until the cards crash. It is actually quite difficult to do a lap of Heaven 4 with 4 cards going.

By comparison 4 Titans can run all day on air with no problems at all.

Until the consoles die on their ass GPU development is going to long, slow and painful

It's worked well because AMD are floundering around unable to offer any competition just like in the CPU arena, when NVidia's 'midrange chips' are outperforming AMD's high end and AMD have nothing available to answer with you're going to get NVidia selling them at high end prices.

Could the release of the consumer Oculus Rift be enough to encourage them to release something a little special? Let's face it, a higher res consumer version of the rift running at high detail and a high frame rate will need a computer with a pretty powerful GPU under the hood.

I think the next Titan or whatever they will call will be the next big jump, but only for richest I'm afraid.

I'm Hoping that they / Amd or nvidia will give us a real 4k single card solution in 2015..... I won't hold my breath, more like 2016 before that happens

The arrival of the Big Max Titan will be good for everyone except NVidia.

The reason I say this is it will be followed by more affordable cards like the 780ti followed the Titan and in normal use was actually a little faster than Titan. All this will put even more pressure on AMD to counter which will move performance up and prices down.

As I said above the only loser will be NVidia itself as once the Max Titan is available followed by a Ti version it will mean higher manufacturing costs for them.

Why will it, nvidia are not scared to price accordingly to keep the margins. They certainly did not appear to take a financial hit during the time of the last Titan/780TI releases. Have you got some inside knowledge to production cost vs rrp?

Oh and happy new year everyone

 

[andybird123]

The ti was still a £600 card though kaap, i dont think they were exactly losing money on them

a lot of the cost added for bigger gpu's is the pcb, power handling etc. Which is AIB cost, not nvidia cost

A titan/780/ti core costs nvidia around $100 to produce, a 980/970 core is still around $75 (will have to wait and see what core size titan2 actually is to get a rough cost)

I'm not sure on 20/16nm costs off the top of my head, but 28nm is "old" and yields should be better so if anything those costs should be dropping

As stanners says, nvidia dont normally worry too much about competing on price on their top end card

 

[ginjaninja]

3 960 variants supposedly/

 

[Darujhistan]

Very interested in the top end 960ti with proper VRAM.

if its good value 4gb vram 1080p capable...of playing gta v......it could be interesting to tide over until 16nm...in 2016..or perhaps even longer...might be better than spending big on old technology now...

I agree with this, even the GTX980's will hold their own for years to come. I don't see myself upgrading for a long time

 

[PhysicsMan94]

I'm just waiting to see how my 2x SLI 780s will handle Witcher 3 at 1440p, hoping that they'll cope but if not then it'll be time to see what Nvidia has on the cards next

 

[MooMoo444]

Didn't mean to post and run. Just had a busy NY hehe

I guess the next gen is nowhere near then. Gives time to save up I guess.

 

[Stoner81]

I recently went from a GTX480 to a Strix 970 for 1080p gaming and I can see a massive difference but one would expect so since it's 5 generations newer lol. I can't/won't justify spending £300 or more on a monitor to game at 2560x1440 and then having to buy another GPU just run games maxed out.

My 970 will last me probably another 5 years or so and then I will look in to upgrading (depending on how GTA V runs on my current rig).
