Posted February 23, 2015 I read a little bit about Pascal Micro-architecture and how it's going to quadruple the efficiency and performance of the current generation of Maxwell GPUs. How do you think it's going to stack up against it's AMD counter-part?

Posted February 23, 2015 it will definitely be quieter, run cooler, and more energy efficient than anything AMD makes... quadruple performance seems extremely unlikely, its just a dumb rumour NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 23, 2015 I think it's going to run cooler, consume less energy and perform better. But hey, they always strive for that.

Posted February 23, 2015 Not sure, they want to bring this new NV link port in to replace PCI-E, with increased bandwith and access to system ram as well as the system accessing GPU ram I think. We've got a bit to go before pascal comes out, but I think they're going to have to use PCI-E because it doesn't seem like either intel or AMD are going to support it with their CPU lines.

Posted February 23, 2015 Take a 980 and make it use under 100W even at 1600 core.

Posted February 23, 2015 It is for a reason why Pascal magically appeared between Maxwell and Volta. Recall other items with others and Nvidia when products appears out of thin air between what is projected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 23, 2015 Improvement and shrink of Maxwell. Full Direct3D 12_0 feature level support. All the latest fancy stacked memory, UMA (which is more of a convenience thing for developers). Their NVLINK looks rather very interesting. In fact, its too interesting. Especially since you will need a CPU that supports it, or otherwise its just a more advanced SLI bridge that has enough bandwith to finally allow stacked VRAM mode instead of mirror mode. Which begs the question - will AMD want to implement it on their CPUs? Will Intel want to pay royalty fees? Or maybe, nVidia planning to enter the x86 CPU market? Will be interesting to see how that turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 14, 2015 Im hoping for 50% increase performance on the 1080 Ti and Titan Y. In other words 1080 Ti will have roughly the same performance as 2 980 Tis in SLI depending on SLI utilization. As for AMD, they have 1 year to come out with a new architecture or they will fall behind hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 14, 2015 actually, volta is indeed pascal. Actually no. After new information, Pascal is Maxwell revision 2 which due to delays of switching to a smaller manufacturing process, Nvidia decided to continue to work on it meanwhile, instead of turning their thumbs while the actual chip manufacture figures out the issues. So new features are being implemented and things are changed to improve performance and bug fixes are made. Basically, it turned out to be a new model based on a Maxwell architecture, and not just what it was initially planed: Maxwell with a die shrink, maybe a tweak here and there to make it a bit faster, and have bug fixes. We know it will have HBM technology but no mention if it will be version 1 (4GB limit, like AMD Fury X) or version 2.

Posted July 14, 2015 I want AMD to succeed but my 280X isn't shining with quality(just google "280X problems") and the performance per dollar isn't good enough to justify the power, heat and noise. I personally have no problem with high TDP ( raider 750w and case with 4 fans- 2 in, 2 out)if the card is able to survive everyday gaming for atleast 5 years. Which is more difficult if the card's temp is high(and my card would probably fail in the next 2 years, but I can sell the Toxic cooler).

Posted January 17, 2016 I think Pascal will be the performance king by a moderate margin. AMD has been struggling to legitimately compete with NVIDIA in the video card market for too long for my prediction to go any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
