They support async compute - no one really knows what the state of the scheduler is but it looks like it is still at the very least atleast partly software assisted.

It appears that some changes have been made to the hardware that the queues are executed on to minimise impact of the weakness in the frontend but how well that works isn't yet known to anyone I've talked to.

The only information out there is Nvidia's marketing material that they dramatically improved async compute performance. Not particularly revealing.

Yeah I'd say late this year or early next, probably see the Titan variation first.

Thinking I'll wait till Titan version if that's next then, may just TX SLI for BF1 incase it's a system hogg in the mean time. Reckon a single 1080 may struggle with 100hz/fps and BF1, that's all it's about for me now, BF1 will be the 2016 benchmark

It doesn't really work like that when you compare different aspect ratio displays, 27" 16.9 is the equivalent to a 34" 21.9 screen

http://www.displaywars.com/27-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9

And a 23" 16.9 is the equivalent to a 29" 21.9 screen:

http://www.displaywars.com/23-inch-16x9-vs-29-inch-21x9

And a 20" 16.9 is the equivalent to a 25" 21.9 screen:

http://www.displaywars.com/20-inch-16x9-vs-25-inch-21x9

Of course, if you are coming from say a 32" 16.9 screen to a 34" 21.9 then yes you will be losing screen height.

Also, with 21.9 screens, you still get more horizontal screen space even if the horizontal res. is the same as on a 16.9 display.

Yup thankfully all the games I have played/tried (mostly AAA titles) work very well, some need a tweak in the config file or a flawless widescreen profile installed.

And yup, curved TVs are awful, I hope that fad dies but for these wide 21.9 monitors, the subtle curve is a very nice addition when sitting in front of one.

Not looked at it from that point of view. I looked at is as I have a 27” now and wanted around a 30” to 34” widescreen (wasn’t sure what the best size is for my desk). So did http://www.displaywars.com/34-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9
So you are saying I should be looking at say a 32” widescreen or 40” Ultrawide? Or 30 wide/38 ish ultra. It looks like I didn’t factor in the fov difference.

At what point do screens start getting to big for desk gaming? EDIT: Still finding it hard to find a good upgrade from a UltraSharp U2711.

I would get a third Titan X but it is not possible.:D

As to 2 way limit with the 1080 we need to keep an open mind. NVidia did not support 4 way with the GTX 780 but it was still possible.

Well yeah, HB Sli ended up just being the use of two sli connectors instead of one in dual card setup. So in the end they have not doubled the bandwidth per port, just doubled the number of ports being used.

Makes me wonder if triple and quad on a larger card will use 4 or some new type of bridging method.

Well if you look at your 27" dell and imagine it 50% wider, that's what you get with the 34" 21.9
 
No idea, it is entirely down to you what size you want, some prefer smaller screens i.e. 24" and some like 40" monitors :eek:

I came from a 23" 16.9 to my current 29" 21.9 monitor. I rather have 29" 21.9 over 27" 16.9

Personally I couldn't go any bigger than 32" 16.9 and 34" 21.9. 34" 21.9 is a bit too wide I think.

My ideal monitor would be 30-32" 21.9.

EDIT:

You could always get a biggish 16.9 display and run a custom 21.9 res.

1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel and click "Customize..."
2. Check box "Enable resolutions not exposed by the display"
3. Click "Create Custom Resolution"

Use following resolutions

4k Ultrawide: 3840x1620
1440p Ultrawide: 2560x1080
1080p Ultrawide: 1920x810

4. Aspect Ratio should be set to either "Aspect Ratio" or "No Scaling."

AMD users

1. Right click the desktop and open the AMD Catalyst/Vision Control Center.

2. In the upper-right corner, select "preferences". Make sure "Advanced View" is selected.

3. From the tabs on the left-hand side, select "My Digital Flat-Panels."

4. From the list that drops down, select "HDTV Support (Digital Flat-Panel).

5. There should be a list of "HDTV modes supported by this display." Choose the one relative to your monitor's native specifications. Since my monitor's native specs are 1920x1080 @60hz, I choose "Add 1080p60 format to Display Manager (NTSC)."

6. Click the green apply button.

If you now see one or two resolutions listed in the "Predefined and Custom HDTV Formats" section, you may be ready to go. Open the game and see if your native resolution is now listed.

If you're still not seeing anything, or if you'd like to add a new resolution, continue on.

7. You should now be able to click the "Add" button next to the list of "Predefined and Custom HDTV Formats." Go ahead and click it.

8. From here, you can create a custom resolution. When you're done, click accept.

9. Click the green apply button again.

If that doesn't work, try out CRU
