Upgrading My GPU

Go to solution Solved by D3MON,

I wrote this on 5th oct last year ina  few threads (when the 780ti rumors were circulating)

8800gt-dec-end of year-2007-65nm-whole new architecture

9800gt-feb-beginning year-2008-65/55nm (die shrink and rebrand together)
9800gx2-mar-beginning year-2008-65nm (dual gpu)
 
gtx280-jun-beginning year-2008-65nm-new architecture, roughly doubled from last gen
gtx285-jan-beginning year-2009-55nm rebrand
gtx295-jan-beginning year-2009-55nm (dual gpu)
 
gtx480-mar-beginning year-2010-40nm-new architecture AND a die shrink
gtx580-nov-end of year-2010-40nm rebrand
gtx590-mar-beginning year-2011-40nm dual gpu
 
gtx680-mar-beginning year-2012-28nm-new architecture and die shrink
gtx690-apr-beginning year-2012-28nm-dual gpu, titan created from crippled tesla, 780 from crippled titan.
gtx770-may-beginning year-2013-28nm rebrand
 
gtx880-mar-beginning year-2014-20nm-new architecture and die shrink
gtx890-nov-end of year-2014-20nm- dual gpu
gtx980-mar-beginning of year-2015-20nm-rebrand

Im guessing the 8xx series will be another new architecture and a die shrink.
1-the new architecture wont be HUGE, were talkign a gtx860, 860ti, 870, 880 etc with maybe a 10% larger die with a few more TMU's and stream processors, why? because titan and 780ti will still be around for a fair few months after 8xx release to sell old stock, then they'll roll out something else later.
2-there will be power reductions due to the die shrink, clock speeds will remain fairly the same both stock and overclocked but yeah, power reductions.
evidence:gtx480=250W, gtx 580 (rebrand and small increase in cores)=244W, gtx680(die shrink and major architecture change)=195W. gtx770 increased due to it being a little more powerful so that was around 230w
so im guessing theyll push for a 200W gtx880. which is a gk104 with another SMX unit enabled or soemthing, theres a bit gap between the 1536 SPuof a gtx770 and the 2304 in a gtx780 isnt there...

if you want to know the reoad ahead, ask those coming back-translation:wanna know when 8xx is coming? look at the last 5 years of releases,
your i5 will be fine for a while, games are evenly using threads now but ill doubt itll max out any cores any time soon.

Guys I will be upgrading within the next 3-6 months and I have a Question or two. My Current one is EVGA GTX 660ti FTW Signature 2 Edition  (Thats a very long name :)) Also I'm Planing on Playing at 1440p with High/Ultra settings

 

1. Will my i5 3570k (OC 4.0Gz) Be sufficient to run with 780ti or 880 (If that launches before summer)

2. When is the 880 predicted/anticipated to launch? (I'm hearing on other forums around April/May)

 

If you guys have any other suggestions I welcome them.

 

(My Full Specs)

i5 3570k

AsRock Extreme4 Z77

EVGA GTX 660ti FTW Signature 2 Edition

8GB Ram Corsair Vengeance 1600 CL9

Samsung 840 EVO SSD 250GB

Crucial M4 SSD 120GB

1.Yes

2.about that time yes but according to rumours it might not be maxwell properly until about Q3-Q4 of the year expect rehashes again most likely

i hate it when people ask this, we dont have any details on the 800 series their only now just releasing the 790. but the 3570k should be enough its a solid cpu that will hold up for a while  

Specs

CPU: i5 4670k i won the silicon lottery Cooler: Corsair H100i w/ 2x Corsair SP120 quiet editions Mobo: ASUS Z97 SABERTOOTH MARK 1 Ram: Corsair Platnums 16gb (4x4gb) Storage: Samsun 840 evo 256gb and random hard drives GPU: EVGA acx 2.0 gtx 980 PSU: Corsair RM 850w Case: Fractal Arc Midi R2 windowed

So we will see something like the GTX780 into GTX780ti again?

I might hold off depending on the reviews/performance until the full thing comes out.

Nobody knows we all have to wait currently the only leaks are supposedly for Titan Black and GTX 790
