Will you finnaly upgrade your GTX 580??

 

and then i beth you send yoru SLI 580s to me:D your so nice:)

 

You answer: dream on Viruz....

actually @FireFox already claimed them :-P

Better luck next time ;-)

[ivhyn]

People who just bought a 780 and 780 Ti are going to hate it

ohh...

 

Seems like a have a opponent to kill. Gettin' mah rifle and huntign for some foxes:)

 

btw, did he get them for free?

[Jayvin]

Time to put my 570 to bed.

[renz62]

AWW YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[Prodigydeadeye]

There is no real info but nvidia will be talking about something fancy tomorrow.

We could be looking at 1-2% performance increases here people

Well looks like I am staying up all night to watch this. Only a half day of school tomorrow. Thank goodness.

[Da'Argo]

Just bought a 770, oh well. They probably won't be releasing until toward the end of the year anyway, I expect the 790 to launch tomorrow though......... Maybe get another 770 on the cheap when 8 series comes out.

[matin94]

just finished night shift, gonna watch this !

[Fruitbooter]

I have a feeling they will be dropping the GTX790 today

[Sharif]

yes!!!!!

[Sharif]

i am going to watch it like a boy!!!

Let the battle of who makes the first Maxwell thread begin  :angry:

[harrynowl]

Doesn't maxwell have a 35% advantage per core anyway because of how the SMs and Logic blocks work? 

 

I'm just interested to see how Perf/wat plays out and how well these things can overclock (please 1400mhz+)

[DeViLzzz]

I am more concerned about what this means for the 900 series.

[DeViLzzz]

Let there be 800

I am waiting on 900 series.

Actually, a Maxwell core has ~90% of the power of a Kepler core. However, they're much smaller and energy efficient. So, for example, for the space of 3 Kepler units, you can have something like 4 Maxwell units. If Kepler is 100% and Maxwell is 90%, 3*100% = 300%, 4*90%=360%. More performance overall even the individual cores are less powerful

Are you sure? Because the 750ti has 640 cores and the 650ti had 768, and the 750ti is quite a bit faster.

nVidia arranges their cores into functional units called SMX (in Kepler) and SMM (in Maxwell). Kepler has 5 blocks of cores within an SMX, but there are only 4 in an SMM. However, each 'block' in an SMM has an individual task scheduler, rather than one that handles all 5 blocks in an SMX. This means that each SM units has less cores but each block is more powerful. This translates to 90% of the power (more cores is always more performance) but with less size.Therefore, the space saved from having 1 less block in 3 units allows you to fit another whole SMM unit in with only a marginally different die size. This will get even more pronounced when 20nm technology comes in.

They will bottleneck it so that they can make a card for next year and the titan black 2

Lol I only make $1200 a week that's not rich

That's 57k per year. As far as I know, anything above 50k in America is considered upper class. Poor people make 15-20. If you work at minimum wage 5 days per week, 8 hours per day you'll make 14k/year. Middle class makes 30-40. So yeah, I would consider you kinda rich. In my country if you make 2000$ per month you will live a very comfortable life. But of course, prices here especially for food are much lower than in the US. 

Here's a comparison. I would say those numbers are more or less right.

I believe in america as dollars exchange lower than other currencies (e.g. British Sterling) that $30,000 a year or so is considered a lower wage.

Well, I'm really anxious to know how much the performance gains would be on Maxwell.

[papajo]

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.

 

I don't think that this would happen because its like Nvidia saying to all its customers that gave 700$-1000$ to buy the highend titan and 700's cards a huge FU!!! You wasted your hard earned cash noobs ...

 

 

The performance upgrade will be minimal (and I consider even 20% up as minimal gain.... It means that for example if the 780 ti plays a todays demanding game at 4K (or stereo 4K)  resolution with ultra settings @ 30 FPS the new Maxwell cards - IF they have 20% more perfomance and not less- will play the same game with the same settings @ 36 FPS.... = still unplayable even though its supposed to be next gen card playing old gen or current gen title...) so shit... Yea.... That's 20%... It means  we( nvidia) didn't do anything to upgrade our technology we just refined it a little to get more of your moneys...

 

 

The only thing I am interested to learn in the coming days is how much the 700's series price will drop down when maxwells arrive

[GuideMe002]

overrated maxwell
