Hmm just wondering if I should bite the bullet and get a 980, maybe a 980ti now. Or wait until the new stuff is released and get it cheaper.
 
^Yeah^ what they said. A dual GPU card will give a good boost to single card performance in the current gen and will take a while to beat in the next gen, assuming another dual gpu is not launched soon in the life of the next gen.
 
Dual GPU is hit and miss though. But if you must go dual gpu, I would go the sli route.

As always it is a good idea to get the best single card gpu, in this case that would be the 980ti. If you can wait though, new cards will make 980ti look mid range in 6-9 months time.
 
So if I understand correctly the "1080Ti" with HBM2 should be out 2H 2016 and likely will be the fastest DX12 card short of a Titan (I'm including AMD cards in that too?

Expected price range £5-600?

Time to start saving...

It's all speculation but my feeling is 1h 2017 at the earliest, and we're going to get totally creamed this gen for pricing. £500 1080, £750 ti, £1250 titan?
 
We were milked to near death on 28nm, also expecting the next die shrink to bring even worse pricing / milking.

If the lower end stuff comes first (Pretend high end) I will do my best to hold on for the Ti..

Speculation is fun :) By the sound of though I'd better save as much as possible then. Good chance my motherboard and cpu will have been replaced if I have to wait for 2017!
 
Hate to say it but I reckon the lower cards will be in april/may and the good stuff will roll in sept-nov. All I want is 1 pascal to run 1440p everything maxed at 140fps+ that is what I dream of a nighttime :D
 
Original Titan released Q1 2013 > 780Ti released Q4 2013
Titan X released Q1 2015 > 980Ti released Q2 2015 (in limited supply to be fair)

Based purely on previous release schedules, the overpriced products have come first. This is more exaggerated if you realise how much earlier the milking cards (680 and 980) were released before the proper high end cards. On that note, I would not expect a Ti equivalent until at least 9 months after the 980 equivalent.

In reality the GTX 960 replacement would be more than enough for me at 1080P, but I fancy the jump to 4K next year, hope Pascal is up to the challenge, a single card that can do ultra in some less demanding games and high in the others would be spot on.

April seems a longs ways off, can't believe how long we've been on 28nm. Hopefully the next transition after this one is a lot faster..

Just stay clear of 1st April news / announcements ;)
 
It is looking more like 2017 for a Top end pascal with HBM2. Most of 2016 will see Pascal first Gen GPU`s with DDR5 X and with a limited HBM2 release .
 
GeForce 200 Series - 16th June 2008
GeForce 300 Series - 27th November 2009
GeForce 400 series - 12th April 2010
GeForce 500 series - 8th November 2010
GeForce 600 series - 22nd March 2012
GeForce 700 series - 23rd May 2013
GeForce 900 series - 18th September 2014
GeForce 1000 series - 2016?

You might be right - seems TSMC are adjusting focus to 10nm with the "goal" of getting qualification samples to partners Q2/3 next year with no plans to produce 16nm (I assume FF+) above medium power through 2016.

(I'd still hazard on nVidia front loading bigger GPUs - though that might be compute over gaming performance in the first release - due to commercial obligations however).

Given that GP100 is supposed to be more than 2x the xtors gen-to-gen wouldn't that mean a drastic drop-off in grunt between full fat and GP104? Or maybe they will change the way the range is segmented and there will only be a GP106-type SKU available in GeForce until 2017 (regardless what it ends up being called).

I have heard similar things wrt 10nm, namely 16FF being another short-lived 20nm type node and standardizing on 10 ASAP as the back-end will be re-used for 7. Then again I heard the same thing about 16.
