Nvidia: The flagship is coming: maxwell in full throttle.

If 28nm Maxwell is twice the efficiency of Kepler at 60W, does that mean that 20nm Maxwell would offer a ridiculously huge improvement in 250W TDP cards? More than twice the performance? Hmmm... If the 880 is twice as fast as the 780, that would be one hell of a card. We'll see soon enough.

No, the efficiency would go down dramatically. At higher powers you get more heat and more resistance.

I did consider that, I think in that potential situation they will go for the middle ground perhaps, a nice piece of that extra efficiency with a nice piece of performance too rather than all of one or the other, we'll have to wait and see.

 

I don't know if TDP translates exactly into possible performance like that, I suspect not.

Yeah of course, TDP to performance doesn't scale linearly. However I would expect the 880 to be at least 25-30% faster than the 780 Ti. If they make it less than 250W, then that would be superb. The chip would have more room for overclocking.

Interesante. I can't wait for the forums to be flooded with 880 threads!

 

"880 vs dual SLI 780s?" " Dual SLI 870 vs 880?"

Selling my parts of my 900D rig for a jacked up Ncase M1. PM me for offers if interested (will take some reasonable-low offers because I'm desperate).

Parts that I'm selling: 900D (1 slot cover broken for stealth DVD drive mod) | Asus Z87 Deluxe | Cooler Master 212 Evo | Corsair 4x2GB black ram @1600mhz | EVGA 1000G2 PSU (2 cables with missing heat shrink) | DVD drive | HP membrane keyboard | Ducky Shine 3 YOTS in blue switches (warranty sticker broken)

I really hope they release full on GM110 from the get-go, but I doubt they will.

Yes! We probably won't see much of a performance boost until the second round of maxwell GPUs. But I'm still excited to see the efficiency improvements. Hopefully these cards will overclock like the 750 ti

20nm. About freaking time!

 

I say 15-20% improvement, unless they go for power efficiency. 

750ti did both, and it wasn't 20nm.

People will always hype these news, just like older generations, don't skip a generation for a hype... or you could be waiting your entire life.

Make sure that you have connected the front audio jack with your sound card correctly. Then try to have a clear path for the cable, meaning that you should try to avoid having the cable passing close to your PSU, video card or any cables delivering power to either the CPU or the graphics card. If this doesn't help make sure that your case is properly grounded via the power supply. If these don't help the easiest way to solve this is to get a simple 1 meter extension cable for the 3.5 mm jack and run on the back of the computer right into your sound card.

Let's hope so!

Damn looks like my 780ti will have as short of a life as my 290 did if they release the 800 series soon

Well at least I have a practically brand new 780ti and an r9-290 that I used a month and put back in the box and put it in storage because I bought my 780ti that I can sale to buy an 880

I hope the performance gains are going to be something substantial. Half it's power playing everything on max while the rest is dedicated to whispering sweet nothings into my ear. "880....880...yeee baby...I'm all you need..."

i doubt you are gonna miss much, it will just be some bar charts and i get they are still using that silver cooler, its nice but they should change it.

Eh, EH! I love bar charts.

That 1-2% performance scaling might be worth it if the 750 Ti's power consumption was a sign of anything. Not an upgrade, but a pleasant change.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
