However, they certainly kept saying twice as fast as TitanX in the presentation which was stretching the truth a bit.

Using simultaneous multireprojection in VR. People were just taking the comment out of context.

yea looks like pascal need at least a 500-600mm² chip for 4k@60, if the next Ti is around 400mm² that wouldn't cut it.

Even a 500-600mm^ chip might still not cut it if you dont want to turn down a lot of settings in the latest games.

4k is a very big jump and I really try and stress that as much as I can because I still dont think some people are quite grasping just how big a leap it is. Especially the ones saying they are 'disappointed' at the 1080's performance at 4k.

be interested to see how it does against Fury X in DX12

Yes this will be

with the 1080 its looking more like an nvidia safe bet here re architecture a maxwell on speed no change really
and would not surprise me the async driver appears which was promised for the other gens months ago . which we never got and would be an outcry if it only became a pascal feature...

So yes we have to wait but for sure will be very interesting indeed

Its all very exciting
 
Why are people eager to see it compared to a FuryX? everyone knows the FuryX Is a pile of junk, it does half decent at 4K but then soon hits its 4GB Ram bottleneck.

This card has twice the amount of Vram on it, its a newer arch, of course its going to decimate the already lackluster performance of the FuryX.

If anything it will just have a placebo effect of making you feel you bought the right card as it will trounce all over it.

If you want to see it in its proper light, place it up against the current top end cards, the 980ti and even the TitanX and see how it fares there, across differing games etc and diff resolutions.

The only reason i would even factor it against an AMD card is for A-Sync performance, and even then you would be limited to very specific titles, which mostly favour AMD anyhow.

Im still waiting to see the 1070, this will be the true reflection of the architecture as the hype around that card is fairly high and it has a lot of promise to live upto.
 
Im seriously wondering if I should nab a 980Ti on fleabay...
Not because the new card isn't good. But because there are some ridiculous deals on 980ti's at the moment.

Not sure why people are already stressing but also why would you say a 15-20% increase over a 980Ti is not worth £150-200 once you've sold the old card?? I'm totally down with that cost for that level of improvement, not to mention all the other future proof features it carries.

See what a decent review says, pretty sure water cooled cards are going to deliver some great speeds if we overclock the crap out of them.
 
15 to 20% seems reasonable to me. Not like theyve invented a new quantum state of matter or anything to drive further than that. What other product gets you more than 20% improvement from one generation to the next.
