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

[thewhitestig]

We'll see soon enough. 

[Paralectic]

I'm making similar predictions. When I saw how little power the 750 and 750 Ti used I started wondering if they'd be going on a power saving path rather than as powerful as possible.

Why powersaving when we need powerful, the electricity bills are low for us all and we all have money. We need good GPUs for 4K resolution gaming.

Can anybody remember more than about 30% perfomance between two generation of GPUs the last years??? 

[iwasaperson]

Finally something to replace my broken 6970.

I remember being less then that

The improvement between the 9800 GTX and the GTX 280 was 53% on lower resolutions.

 

 

 

 

 

And 59% on higher ones.

 

[yummyxyz]

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+)

he said last two generations, that means the 600 and 500 series, but we all wish that there would be a jump as big that, nvidia will not do it as it would cost them a lot more money these days to create a jump which is that crazy.

[Lays]

Will not even be close to that if you look at the past few years, its like they will try to save power as a fall back.

Saving power is extremely important IMO, the lower the TDP the lower the cards temps, the further we can push them

No he didn't say that. Read before you post.

When is the livestream going to start.

Well don't look at me, I'm not their engineer

Either way, experimenting with power saving techniques is a good transition phase. Right now we're having to choose between extreme performance and saving power. Now we're going to be matching (or exceeding hopefully) that performance with less power, imagine what comes after

 

Think e-cars.

Saving power is extremely important IMO, the lower the TDP the lower the cards temps, the further we can push them

This guy gets it

And more importantly than being pushed by end users, as the card makers learn ways to make cards more efficient we might be looking to a future where cards are not only more powerful, but less consuming.

GTX 790 anyone?

Yes i'm either getting a 790 or 2 880s

[MrRavens]

Almost time. Better not get let down with another "Logan" demonstration lol. Cool tech, but honestly doesn't need anymore hype.

[Rheinwasser]

My 560ti will never die. NEVER.

mine neither. its even superclocked.

They renamed Volta to Pascal and postponed the unified memory architecture, it now gonna be part of Pascal, not Maxwell.

[d3sl91]

Titan Z.

 

Inspired by Alien Technology.

 

Yep.

[juretrn]

Titan Z - two titans for the price of 3!

No, Pascal comes after Volta.

[brownninja97]

No, Pascal comes after Volta.

off topic i find it funny that people are commenting on this thread even after the stream.

[thewhitestig]

No, Pascal comes after Volta.

Wrong. 

This is their old roadmap.
