Expectations for Nvidia GPU

With the release of the new AMD GPU and Nvidia's GTX 980 Ti,

Should we expect the next generation top line nvidia GPU to be fully capable of 4K Gaming in Ultra settings in 60 fps ?

 

I am quite interested in building my next rig for 4K gaming and hope somehow in 2 years, 4k gaming will become a norm for general pc gamers.

i dont think the next gen will push 4k @60fps Maybe Volta ?

Yes. I believe that Nvidia Pascal and AMD's next gen will do that. Unless games in the next two years become unexpectedly more demanding. And there will always be a couple of badly optimized game that don't run well.

However it's gonna be some time. 980ti and Fury X will be the single GPU flagships for a little while. They are a step in the right direction for 4K gaming, but still not ideal.

Is 2 years time-frame long enough to wait for a gpu that is capable of delivering that power ?

 

GTX 980Ti can play games in 4k but not in stable 60 fps fashion , should I wait the next 2 years and see the development of 4k gaming ?

I certainly hope next year we will have GPU's that can push 4k over 60 fps on a single card. I'm itching to upgrade but 980ti isn't good enough and I don't want to buy 2.

I feel like the Pascal powered 1080ti has a good chance of handling 4k well at 60fps. The increase from the 980 to 980ti was already very impressive. If we are to believe even half of what Nvidia has been saying about Pascal, then it will be a much larger jump forward than the transition from other architectures has been.

R9 Fury X2 will release this autumn. yes it is a dual GPU card, but my R9 295x2 is currently THE best single PCB card in existence. The Fury X2 will be the single strongest single PCB card in existence once it is launched this autumn. Sure it will cost around 1200 to 1500 USD, but it will be worth it.

Probably not until Volta until we see consistent 60fps with settings near maxed. Pascal will be a jump but nowhere near enough to run all 4k games at 60fps all the time. Taking into consideration of games getting heftier to run ofc.

4k will not become a norm in 2 years, for the same reason 1440p is not a norm today. It simply cost to much in order to play the games you want to play at the highest possible settings, minus the settings you personally dislike. Even for enthusiasts, even the most expensive cards struggle to hit 60FPS in the newest titles like Witcher 3 and Battlefield Hardline.

 

Two years and 1440p will become more mainstream, though i still think 1080p will dominate for another four years. At which point the most powerful GPUs can handle 4k in a single card setup.
