Gaming performance will probably be impacted a bit by the increased ratio of compute capabilities - also likely to be a mixed story where older and contemporary games probably won't see as big a difference as DX12 titles where the gains are likely to be considerably larger over Maxwell.

There is another rumour just starting that Pascal will not support hardware Async Shaders.
And yes anything less than Hexus quoted numbers would be major disappointment
HyperQ is async and is supported in Maxwell, wonder what fanboy or planted news story is making up the rumour that its not supported I wonder.
Probably the same people who write these comments without at least a link to the said rumor

This looks good. Going to be so hard to resist the overpriced full chip.. Especially if it takes Nvidia a while to release the chip that performs better and nearly half the price, i.e TX > 980 Ti 
Curse you Nvidia... I think I'll just put some pennies aside and go all in with the biggest chip at launch.. Likely make the jump to 4K at the same time.. Hopefully these new GPU's will be up to the task for at least high (Not Ultra) settings.

My Philips was incredible but it gave me *loads* of tearing. Not seen any yet with this...
It could go back to being fully compute enabled.

And risk the Tesla line? Really? I can't see it tbh

Don't bother without Gsync. Seriously, it's awesome
I have to wait until December, and late at that, to get the monitor you have, and the wait is killing me! All in prep for Pascal

Can we expect Pascal to cost similar to the 980Ti on release (£550/$650)?
If it's really so much faster than 980Ti/Titan X I'll probably save up and buy one or two.

it depends how titan x equivalent is with DP performance. if it is not gimped too much, titan x pascal will cost an arm and a leg. and they will try to milk market as much as possible with delaying 980ti pascal release.
Unless AMD shows up to the fight in shape and on time, then there will be cookies

I can't see myself ever buying the flagship GPU after what they did with the 980Ti to be honest, but eh, if I have the money at the time, why not?
I'm taken aback a little by just how big the gap between Maxwell and Pascal is rumoured to be, but this is the first time I would be 'into' technology with a die shrink.
