Awesome, maybe we don't need 16GB of VRAM right now, but without this kind of cards technology won't improve. AMD should jump on VRAM bandwagon too.

nVidia's naming scheme is more retarded... AMD's is easier.

 

x60 series: mid-low

x70 series: mid

x80 series: mid-high

x90 series: high

 

With nvidia it changes...

 

750 series: mid low

760-70: mid high

780/titan series: high-enthusiast...

 

While for 900 series is:

 

950: mid

960: mid high

970-80: high

980 ti / titan: enthusiast.

 

Is that really too complicated for you???

 

The 3xx series for AMD are rebrands, so if anything it's more confusing that they changed their name. You also forget to add in the Fury, FuryX, and Nano. So if anything Nvidia is easier to understand.

All jokes aside they're actually going of legitimate information here from Nvidia's conference in Japan rather than "rumors".

Refresh, not rebrand.

I wonder what they're gonna call the new Titan, because they're running out of letters lmao.

I'm curious to see how much Cuda Cores those cards will have my current guess would be around 5000.

I like how people hate on WCCFTech even when they write thorough articles with reputable sources. Like what is their drive to become better journalists if we don't give them credit where its due?

Woohoo, a big number of VRAMs!! Hooray! Surely we'll all be gaming at 8k within a year!!

 

<_<

 

Um, Who really needs 16 GBs of VRAM? I'm doing just fine with 1 GB.

 

Anyone playing games of the last year or so at 1080p and expecting good performance at high visual fidelity should expect to need 2 GB. Almost no one needs over 4 GB at any otherwise playable resolution, though.

 

Not sure if you're serious btw.

People who play on anything other than low 800 x 600

Even at 1024x768 its possible to easily go over 2GB vRAM usage with a GTX 650ti. I was forced to use only my GTX 970 for Skyrim the mods were getting that intensive-even then I started nearing 3GB vRAM usage at the same resolution.

So? nVidia still changes their tiers in every series, AMD does not.

It's always been TSMC who were going to make Pascal. GloFo has never made a contract. Also 16GB should only be for the "Titan" version or Tesla/Quadro.

Refreshes........the same thing happened with 600 and 700 but no everybody have to bitch about AMD.

Nvidia:

9xxx

2xx

4xx with some Ti models on lower end.

5xx with some Ti models on lower end.

6xx with some Ti models on lower end.

7xx with some Ti models on lower end/high end.

9xx with Ti models on high end.

AMD:

7xxx and below with 4 numbers

R9 2xx

R9 3xx

R9 Fury/X/Nano

Don't forget the GTX 500 series was a refresh of the GTX 400 series.

Yep, but it wasn't as toasty as AMD/ATi drivers failing sometimes.......

why doesn't nvidia manufacture their own cards, surely they can afford to make their own manufacturies, and wouldn't it cost them less/make them more money to manufacture their own?

How about you or any of the people agreeing with you link me to a single bezelless display?

 

And i dont mean flat glass with the bezel hidden beneath. Or 1" bezel counting as "no bezel".

 

If you gona make a 6 monitor setup - please show me the monitor that has NO bezel on the sides, top and bottom - so i can make their pixels touch.

That is currently impossible, but you yourself made it sound as if there is 10" of plastic between them, which there is not, actually, there is about 1cm max. There are plenty of them. CBA to link from phone. :)

Bro you forgot the 780ti, 750ti, 760ti(OEM card, so kinda counts).

 

I think AMD's is way more retarded. R7 260 vs. R9 270? Wtf does the R7/R9 mean then? Also why is there a R7 370 when there is a R9 270? Shouldn't it be R9 370?

 

AMD's is all over the place.

So the 18th is when we'll get actual specs of the architecture?

Haha I honestly can think of any other decent new name other than "Titan Ultra"

I think with 1TB/s bandwith and 16 gigabytes of Vram that truly is the perfect card for single card multi monitor 4K. Also VR support will be better with higher Vram support and faster transfer speeds. I just hope AMD has the same or better then Nvidia and is cheaper so it will have to make Nvidia lower there prices.

 

HBM is AMDs technology (Hynix as well). So yeah... Greenland will feature the same HBM2 1,024bit memory. We can assume that Greenland will feature the same 16GB of memory as well.

16GB of VRAM, nVLink - none of these are for the desktop market

keep in mind, IBM and nVidia are to build this: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/407245-press-release-ibm-and-nvidia-launch-supercomputer-centers-of-excellence/

 

I've been saying this for quite a while now, don't expect Pascal for desktop to be released soon; Tesla accelerators will be a priority for nVidia

 

Especially true considering Intel are about to kick Tesla right in the nu... well you get the point.
