  1. Hello I would like to make a fake business, just for personal use. Not selling anything or putting anything on it. So I can use it as a link for my assignment. Is this against the law to do? It will have no content on it and I will even say that it is not a real business I am guessing it is, however I wanted to check Thanks
  2. Yeah, they are showing off the ASUS PG348Q some where, there was a video of an ASUS desktop system and the ASUS PG348Q was next to it
  3. If you are at CES, could you ask ASUS if the ASUS PG348Q is 100hz out of the box or "up to" 100hz and if the scan line issue has been fixed (that would be great if you could and have time) thanks
  4. Yeah, I know, only industry professionals
  5. Yeah, I am not sure how accurate it is, as they might have missed it out.
  6. All I wanted to ask was about the ASUS PG348Q, if it was "up to" 100hz or if it was 100hz and if there are any scan lines on it.
  7. He would not look at the comments.
  8. No point watching them for any eviews, all they do is give positive comments on the product, even if it has problems. However this was about finding someone at CES
  9. I could afford to go anyway, however I have already missed most of it. Also I am not sure I would want to spend tickets for the flight, hotel and CES tickets. If I was going to Las Vagas anyway, I expect I would pay for the All Access Pass or certain tracks
  10. I would go as well, however I am from the UK I just wanted to ask someone who is there, to check something for me (if they do not mind)
  11. Hello Just wanted to know, is anyone here at CES 2016 Thanks
  12. If only the ASUS PG348Q was OLED, still going to get it though. I would pay over £2K for that
  13. Also quote "Dell expects it to mostly cater to professionals." why use a 120hz panel, if you are aiming for professionals, also every other source says nothing about 120hz http://www.pcworld.com/article/3018710/hardware/dell-unveils-stunning-4k-oled-ultrasharp-display-and-declares-war-on-bezels.html
  14. Why use DP 1.3 and release it in March, when nothing supports DP 1.3, it would be better to release it in Q2 2016, even then high end Pascal comes out Q1 2017
  15. Do not get excited just yet, I think the specs are wrong, as DP 1.2 does not have enough bandwidth, unless Dell used Dual DP 1.2, which has problems.
  16. The ASUS PG348Q has had more production time, so I expect many of the problems will be sorted. If you are still not sure, wait for user reviews.
  17. I am not actually sure 120hz is correct, LG has not made a OLED 120hz panel, I think the specs are wrong.
  18. Yeah, they had there conference about it a few months ago, I expect they are waiting for AMD to release the Fury X2 The GPU AMD shown was a low end GPU for mobile and power efficiency, so I expect high end Arctic islands will not be out this year.
  19. You will get about 70 FPS in Battlefront Ultra with one GTX 980ti, you will get about 35-40 FPS in the Witcher 3 Ultra Hairworks with one GTX 980ti. If you wanted SLI you will get 120 FPS in Battlefront Ultra and 60-70 FPS in the Witcher 3 Ultra Hairworks So you will not really benefit from a 100hz panel, if you play the latest games.
  20. I would definitely go with high end Volta SLI, however it depends if they make a a 5120x2160 95hz monitor, if they do I will get high end Pascal. Although I expect that the monitor would be released in 2018-2019 I will have to look at the performance difference between the GTX 980ti and GTX 1080ti
  21. I expect to upgrade my GTX 980ti SLI to GTX 1080ti SLI anyway, so it will be interesting to find out what happens.
  22. Hello THE ASUS PG348Q is finally up for pre order, early February release date, time for me to buy it. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-pg348q-rog-swift-34-3440x1440-ips-g-sync-100hz-gaming-widescreen-curved-led-monitor-black-re-mo-089-as.html
  23. No, the GTX 1080 is a mid end GPU, with a low die size. The GTX 1080ti is high end with a large die size. Also the GTX 1080ti will be a bigger jump. Why would a GTX 980ti (high end) to GTX 1080 (mid end) be a bigger jump in performance. The GTX 1080 will be the same performance jump as the GTX 780ti to GTX 980
  24. I expect low end and mid end Pascal to be Q2 2016, then high end Pascal in Q2 2017 One is the 16nm fab is new...and untested...and you can't go large and power hungry on first generation chips. Don't believe how unreliable a new fab is? Look at how long it took Nvidia to pick between Samsung and TSMC and finally siding with TSMC due to their longer working history and reliability. Second point is...they will kill their own sales by offering their best card right at the release of the new generation. They will not be able to give any reason at all to their enthusiast market to upgrade their card within 3 years of launch. Whereas when you look at Kepler, people bought the 680, then the Titan came out, then the 780, and most people who bought the 680 eventually upgraded to those cards. And then when Maxwell launched, they started with just the 750 and 750ti. Then released the 980 that some bought, and finally after a while, the Titan X and 980ti which gave people (enthusiast market, again) a reason to upgrade. Nvidia likes incremental upgrades. They don't want you to buy a card now, and launch another card in a year that completely destroys the card you bought. They put out one card, then 12 months later they bring out another card that is generally just 10-20% faster, so it's better than what they offered before, but not enough to **** off anyone who bought their last gen cards. And then another 6-12 months later they put out an even better card, with 50%+ better performance than their older cards, and people start upgrading again. If on day one of the Pascal launch, if they come out with their absolute best card, they are going to have nothing interesting to bring to market for 2 to 3 years until Volta comes out. And that would be silly. Even if it were possible with the new 16nm fab. In terms of business, you need to offer a product that is a bit better than your competition, without being too much better/too costly for you. So they just need to put out a slight performance increase, but sell the card on much lower power consumption, wait for AMD to release something else, and then launch a bigger die version themselves, and back/forth they go. Just a quick reference: FERMI GTX 580 = 520mm2 KEPLER GTX 680 = 294mm2 GTX Titan = 551mm2 MAXWELL GTX 750ti = 148mm2 GTX 980 = 398mm2 GTX Titan X = 601mm2 Do you see the pattern? Small, Medium, Big, restart. Don't think about it based on die size. Because it's really just about transistor count. Pascal at 16nm, even a 294mm2 sized die like the GTX 680, along with HBM2, would result in performance close to the Titan X...and perhaps even higher due to lower heat/power consumption allowing higher clocks. Hope that helps. Also, NVIDIA is launching the GTX 990, so it would not make sense to release high end Pascal in Q2 2016 We also know HBM2 is going to have problems with amount of stacks as there was not enough HBM1 for AMD, so if NVIDIA and AMD are using HBM2, there will not be enough (Titan O, will need 16GB HBM2) this is why NVIDIA will have to wait for Samsung HBM2 (which starts production in Q2 2016) so it will take till 2017 for there to be enough and for NVIDIA to implement it on the GTX 1080ti and Titan O Also give me a link where AMD says they will release high end Arctic islands in Q2 2016
