so the 980 is as fast as a 780ti, a 970 is as fast as a 780, a 960 is as fast as a 770.

 

Oh, a pattern, is this how gpus have worked over the past 3 years !??! o.0

 

Except the fact that it can do it with 1/3 less power which is huge.

Lol, people just going to google money converter and thinking thats the real american price.

 

 

PRICES ARE LOWER IN AMERICA PEOPLE!!

Shave off 20% for VAT, add 6% for shipping costs, add 7ish % on top of that due to sales tax in most states. That should get you close.

GCN 1.2, 3400 cores max is my prediction for the 390x, and that's going to be a nuclear reactor of a single card.

 

Yes but AMD will watercool it and be the first company to offer an AIO watercooled single GPU reference card (which is going to eventually be all cards in the next decade, but AMD will start the trend). They will not release another disaster that was the 290 and 290x reference cooler.

If AMD has to rely on water cooling their prices are going to go up. AIOs for GPUs are rare enough in the first place, and they're not easy to construct. Every card has different length and width too. It's going to be wildly expensive to make AIO coolers for anything apart from the flagships, or the AIOs will suck.

 

Frankly I'm shocked AMD hasn't gotten in bed with Swiftech or EKWB on such a project. Asetek isn't that great in the first place, and AMD touts quality of its products even when they're inferior (usually against Intel, whereas the GPU war is a cyclical affair).

I wonder if they're putting less CUDA cores in their consumer GPUs to make the Quadro/ Titan line more viable 

 

or if this is some kind of sick joke

"benchmarks"

Core count across generations is meaningless.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

980 is only a 165W card? That is freaking mind boggling. In one generation they are cutting energy requirements by about 30% while keeping the same performance? Holy shit the reference cards are going to run so cool and quiet now.

I guess the cores could be stronger, but knowing Nvidia...

 

wasn't stacked DRAM and 20nm suppose to be out this Gen as well?

 

EDIT** Oh, I guess there is 40% improvement per CUDA core

next year we should get the gtx1080p right??

I am 100% sure Nvidia will drop these kind of series. they will start a new one like AMD did

That would be because Asetek now owns the patent for AIO solutions for GPU's.

It's hard to properly benchmark without any drivers...

Yeah, but the delay isn't really nvidia's fault (amd doesn't have them yet either for that matter)

The benchmarks show a ~10 watt difference in power usage.

You mean it will beat the 680 ?

 

 

WOW!! It actually reaches a performance of 3.5 for 4K + AA.

Lol I saw that too. Units are actually quite important, and in this case, absent.
