what would you like to see in a new GPU serie?

[Nagby]

hello, so the goal of this topic is to know what actual GPU series miss for you, in looking, cooling, technologies, marketing and any random feature

 

 

it will also give me some ideas for "my own GPU serie"

which i already did a generation 1 year ago

here are all the stock cards, the serie is called Parallax (as Geforce for nvidia and Radeon for AMD)

 

 

i already had some ideas about several things but i don't want to influence you with those ^^

[bchampion96]

I'd just want to see more RAW POWEEEEEERRR!

[sonarctica]

UNLIMITED POWAAAAAHHHHH

[Nagby]

what for?

games, render, fun, ...

 

and with sacrificing what?

price (Geforce TITAN), size, consumption, noise, reliability, ...

[91wow]

I would like to see a mixture of stream processors and cuda cores on the SAME CARD so that those people doing video editing/rendering can use an OpenCL and Cuda enabled program and make them both run faster.

 

(Yes I know that they are almost the same in every way but they do not do the same purpose in applications)

[virusal19]

OVERRRRRR NINEEEEEE THOUSANDDDDDDDD!!!!! 

 

Errrr... cores?

[Nagby]

so, more rendering GPUs than actual pretty much only gaming GPUs?

[91wow]

If they know what they are doing they wouldn't market them as separate cards, they would give them a rendering card (for a price such as fire pro and quadro are now) but can do gaming like a GTX Titan can do.

i would like low power consumption  ,decent temps , great oc potential and most importantly powaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Nagby]

i would agree with you if there was really a lot of people doing OpenCL renders, but this still pretty small imo

by i do think that it would help the desktop PC market if they did more ads about what you can do with OpenCL render

but i don't think everyone can afford an over 1k$ card ^^

 

this could match the 1.PL Parallax card that i did, which is a pretty powerfull 1 slot card, optimized for renders, and that can run in unlimited multi GPU (only for OpenCL of course)

by the way, this pic was done on a 100% CPU ray tracing rendering program XD

well for that i also did a 4 GPU card that should have taken ~1200W XD

(8x 150W 8pin plugs)

A lot of people render in Sony Vegas now more than ADOBE, hell i use Sony Vegas to render and adobe to edit and I have a 8 core cuda GT210 xD

That thing must be a 15 inch "Lady pleaser" as Elric would say from TOT

[Nagby]

and another thing about OpenCL

when i use it (in cyberlink powerdirector for me) i get a lot more glitches in the final render or PC crash, or at least not responding PC while rendering, which is annoying when you only have 1 PC ^^

 

 

and about that 4GPU card, it isn't that long (28cm)

but it is 5 slots :B

[Dbrasp91]

But what i really would like to see:

Stock watercooled GPU`s as a standard cooling solutions. like the Ares 2.

I think by making that a standard it will open a door for other improvements!

[stevv]

I'd like a bare dual graphics chips capable board, and I'll choose my own GPU(s) (swappable) and amount of memory (like good o'l ram).

 

Sounds familiar? (motherboards and cpu ... *cough* *cough*.

 

Additionally, standardize typical hot components layout or at least bunch them in standard size groups.  This will open up the door for more cooling solutions (especially liquid cooling) since they don't have to design different blocks for every model.

Only problem with that is that it is not as cool in most cases as stander air cooling would be and the cards would be about $120-$200 more than they are now. Asus has the right idea on that card they showed of at computex where it is a waterblock card that has the option to be air or water.

Dual stacked PCB's? Didn't EVGA have one of those a while back? lol

i'm not a fan of WC because of the maintenance time it ask

but maybe a kind of sustainable or auto cleaning loop ^^

 

and, stew, i exactly did that 2 month ago XD

"I'll take a dual titan with 12GB of USABLE VRam"

[Nagby]

there is 3 PCBs in fact, 2 have 2 GPUs each, and 1 have all the power components and memory

all that cooled by a kind of dual tower heatsink with 3x92mm fans

[Dbrasp91]

yeah indeed! like the Poseidon, lol truely forgot about that one. yeah thats a nice solution in my opinion

That would run to hot to sell, you'll need to have a full Phase change cooler just cool that monster xD

[Nagby]

wouldn't really run at 1200W, it's just that i can get up to that because of the PCIE plugs

here is how it is cooled

I like because unlike the ARES 2 you don't have to be tied down to water cooling you can use it if you'd like to. water cooling isn't for everyone in the PC world I know a lot of people that I will say "I'll build you a full loop for free if you say I made it and if I did well or not later" and they just say "No thanks I prefer air cooling it just seems safer, less could go wrong with air than water" and they are right, water cooling can have more problems if not done right. Even just getting a bundle of bad tubing could be a horrible thing "I know from prior experience I lost a GTX 680 4GB to it" it just isn't for all people and on GPU you are pound to switch it out every 1-2 years if you're gaming at high resolutions so dealing with even an AIO can be a very big hassle.
