Are AMD going to force feed themselves full of Ghost chillies then sew their mouths shut ? That would be a good way to spice up GDC.

Polaris v Pascal - engineers have to eat them for every benchmark they lose now that would be interesting.

I really hope big Polaris and Pascal have some serious performance, I want to move away from multi GPU as it is more trouble than its worth IMO.

* There are some types of compute load where the nature of how nVidia is handling it isn't efficient enough to beat the better granularity of the Fiji architecture but generally where performance is really an issue you don't tend to be dealing with those kind of loads.

it sounds a bit like how the intel 750 SSD is better at enterprise scenarios
where the 'queue length' or multithreaded requests are higher,
whereas the samsung 950 pro is better at typical consumer task like opening a video file

All I know is that nvidia driver updates somehow broke my ability to use powerdirector 11 on a 780Ti at some point,
and I never been able to get that program to work correctly since

nVidia seem to be trying to consign Kepler to history for some reason :S

Another great reason to buy nVidia

/s

Seriously though, their 'support' for older gpu's seems to be sub-par at best...

Nvidia may demo Pascal at GDC...... hope so

We have a few weeks to find out if it's true?

I still say it will be GTC where we hear about Pascal.

nVidia is doing a big splash at GTC this year so would be odd if they didn't atleast have some info then.

About time, if they don't show something big and real then it really will look like they are far behind schedule (and amd)

Hope its not another of those 'big' shield announcements

^^ Probably more automotive stuff :S

MS have TV TV TV & NV have CARS CARS CARS

Maybe they'll hold up a Maxwell chip again??

Yup, a more competent rival may have taken advantage of their shift of focus.....

Chips take time to design and they can't move faster than the foundries.

You just have to pick a strategy and stick with it for a few years.
