WE NOW HAVE WATER COOLED PLUNGERS!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!

 

dis gon be gud

Quick, this gentleman for president!

Is there a captain here that can explain the "plunger" joke?

[Crosseyed Sniper]

If this is true, once it's released my 780 is getting replaced.

That is the EXACT look I had this morning when I opened the fridge and discovered I was out of milk for my bowl of Cap'n Cruch!

I think it was just an honest engrish mistake, but a particularly hilarious one. 

[Jumper118]

shame we already have 8gb cards with a 512bit bus.................... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-353-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

I saw it now hahaha

Watercooled plunger?

 

[Misanthrope]

Watercooled plunger?

 

 

I just love how now we've got both a 120 and a 240 version. Come on photoshoppers, time to do a custom loop water cooled plunger!

THIS IS SO PERFECT. I'm in art class, I eat cereal w/o milk in art class. My teacher calls me cap'n crunch because of it.

here ye go dawg

256-bit with not 4 but 8 gigs? THE HELL IS THIS?!?!

 

 

With a 256bit bus? hell no.

 

 

256bit is only a rumor and there is no way its true

 

 

i call BS on the CUDA count, no way they got 3.2K cores onto the die without a nodeshrink. i call BS on 256bit bus, they are known for the narrow bus - high vram speed, but this is just ridiculous. 

 

 

no way the 256bit bus is true...

on the other hand... WE NOW HAVE WATER COOLED PLUNGERS!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!

 

 

wat. 256bit bus, they're losing the plot. if this is true of course.

 

 

It's this 256 bus that makes me instantly disbelieve any rumour about any 800 series. I know Nvidia can make mistakes. But until they officially announce I will not believe they are stupid enough to put a 256 bit bus on 8GB of RAM without like 20000 MHz on the VRAM

 

 

this looks interesting, I'm assuming th 256bit memory bus is BS though, that wouldn't make sense at all with 8GB of vram.

You people all don't know anything about Maxwell appearently. Maxwell has l3 cache which makes memory bandwidth a hell of a lot less important.

[Fetzie]

With a 256bit bus? hell no.

 

You never know, they might clock it at something crazy like 9 or 10GHz.

[Misanthrope]

here ye go dawg

 

 

Made my day so much this is officially my new avatar now 

[Thebman712]

this could be like the titan white or titan xtream or somthing

[Dylan522p]

They increased L2 cache massively and added l3 cache. bandwidth is a lot less important because of that.

Is that true? You got more info on that? I'm interested.

[cramved]

That's interesting but I was too distracted by the water cooled plunger. I can't say I ever used a plunger so intensively that I needed active cooling, let alone water cooling.

that is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe with out the die shrink they need a water cooler to keep it from toasting its self like the 295x2.

[atomicmonkey101]

4gbs is good enough for now, i just want massive performance increases! 

[Dylan522p]

Is that true? You got more info on that? I'm interested.

From anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell/3

 

 NVIDIA has massively increased the amount of L2 cache they use, from 256KB in GK107 to 2MB on GM107.

 

 

I can't seem to find info on the L3 cache.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

GM204 watercooled plunger...?

Well, it is interesting, let's see how it performs if the rumors are true.

 

 

This reduces the amount of traffic that needs to cross the memory bus, reducing both the power spent on the memory bus and the need for a larger memory bus altogether

[Sky Daddy]

stronger gpu is more important than having 8gbs of memory

 

4k is an insane amount of pixels to push even at low/medium settings, maybe the next gen can do high/medium settings

 

but I'm more interested in 21:9 aspect ratio now

[Keudn]

Been waiting for a chance to use this gif

[Keudn]

Why are we jumping to conclusions and saying this is the 880? Wouldn't this be the midrange card and the GK210 be the high end? That would explain the 256bit memory bus, and nvidia is cramming the vram into their 800m series so why wouldn't they do that with the high AND mid range desktop cards as well??
