[Rumor] Nvidia 880 Specifications

[Xquisite]

Can this really be it? Is it really coming with these specs? No, this is just a rumor but we should expect this performance. 

And a glint of hope for all those who waited to buy a GTX 880 instead of a GTX 780. Cheers!

 

 

Maybe it is "bigger" Maxwell still far away, but maybe not. Let's see how you might look GTX 880

 

That SMM block core GM204 will certainly look

 

We gathered here a few tidbits from various sources, when we put together, we fell out of interesting information about a possible successor specification GeForce GTX 780 Ti based on Maxwell. The first information comes from a major manufacturer of graphics, so is close to the long-term roadmapám AMD and Nvidia. He confidently asserted that Nvidia refresh graphics card market an entirely new segment in the "Enthusiast" this summer. But not a card-based Kepler, but based on Maxwell. He said to go on a successor GTX 780 Ti, with higher performance at significantly lower consumption. The core of the card has to be said GM104 (GM204).

 

A key element of the production process by TSMC's 20nm production ready for mass deployment now. Few do but believe. Generally it is said that if a GPU manufactured on 20nm, it will not be before the end of this year. It also supports the recent news that Nvidia apparently postponed "big" Maxwell 20nm next spring. It sits, our source confirmed this information. But it also pointed out that not only the great Maxwell GM110 (GM210) Nvidia will live, that there is still smaller sibling. Successor for popular GK104.

 

Codename chip will supposedly GM204, and the chip will go into the game cards from lower middle class to high-end. As was the case with GK104. The first card should be GTX 880 (no Ti).

The number of transistors should not be much higher than the GK110. Likewise, the number of CUDA cores, those should be 3200, which is only about 11 percent more than the GK110. How SMM block will be built at 20nm Maxwell nobody knows, that is the number of texture units is unclear. Memory interface but is said to be 256-bit memory capacity of 2 to 4 gigabytes depending on the model card. Interesting fragments but concern the power consumption and the size of the card. GTX 880 is said to have only a single 6-pin power connector, TDP has to be somewhere on the level GTX 760 performance over the GTX 780 Ti. PCB cards to be small, cheap, simple (remember the GTX 680).

 

According to a source has come also the first chip that will be equipped with ARM core. GM204 is said to have to make do with one, GM210 has planned three ARM cores. Nothing more has not communicated to us the source, but the important date is said to be in July this year. It will be revealed much more, and maybe even card you are talking about. If actually built on the 20nm chip, it will be a great surprise and the number of cards on the shelves will give a count on the fingers of one hand. We'll see.

Already posted many times. Still uninterested due to memory bus.

old news

same pic also reposted here a month+ back

 

 

also very possibly fake because of the stupid low memory bus among other things

[Shd0w2]

256bit bus? lies.

[wng_kingsley7]

256bit bus? lies.

It'll probably have a 384bit bus but it's all guess & rumors for now.

[Askew]

This is becoming like GTA V now.

[The_Strict_Nein]

I literally look at the memory bus for all these rumours now. If I see 256 I'm not interested

[AlexGoesHigh]

rumor and old, still 256bit memory bus is to low these days even now with 4k and games having absurds amount of memory requirements these days

[sof006]

LOL 256 bit memory bus. If thats the case it'll be no better than the 780. 

 

It needs to be at least 384 bit... or what AMD does and put 512 bit

[Equlix]

That was painful to read

Maxwell has a huge L2 cache so bandwidth is a lot less relevant.

[Viiksi-Vallu]

I got hyped for nothing =(

[NInety]

20nm though!

[Syntaxvgm]

well true or not, 4gb is disappointing. Seeing how recent games waste video memory like no one's business, I would like to see more on a higher end card that some would expect to use for a few years. 

[ViruZ_HUN]

2 months old news, lol

256-bit Bus? That's is not 4K ready. The reason AMD cards are "more" 4K ready is that they actually have more memory and a wider bus to handle the 4K-ness. But the good thing of rumors is that this may not be true after all

Huge l2 cache means memory bandwidth is less important. This can be seen in the 750ti

Did you not hear about stacked memory at the nvidia event a while ago? Seriously, the amount of people that didn't read that in this forum.

 

From what I remember, it said you can drastically reduce the buswidth and still get similar performance.

Thats not coming till Pascal

[Rassilon]

Thats not coming till Pascal

The 1TB/s thing isn't coming till Pascal. I thought some kind of preliminary stacked memory was coming to Maxwell

[ACatWithThumbs]

No Maxwell isn't even getting virtual shared memory:/

It isn't in their roadmap anymore.

I call this fake why should Nvidia reduce the bandwith?

That doesn't make any sense.

R9-290X has less memory bandwith than the GTX780 ti...

A big bus doesn't mean anything if you have like AMD crappy clocks on it.

386bit bus at 7Ghz  has 336GB/s (GTX780Ti) > 512bit bus at 5Ghz has 320GB/s (R9-290X)

id beleive 256bit bus if they were using Gddr6 @ 9000mhz
