Nvidia Pascal. Are you Exited?

[Cpt Buzzkill]

Hey guys, found this page. I don't know how many of you like Nvidia and how many like amd BUT

 

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/133518/20160214/nvidia-pascal-gpus-edging-closer-to-release-4-different-graphics-cards-currently-in-testing.htm

 

I think Christmas might come early this year! however... from what I see so far AMD is only releasing before the school starts (for people that go to school) and looks like it will be abit later then Pascal.

 

Also I am intrested because this time AMD is with Samsung, that should have some fun results in my opinion.

 

P.S. if you wanna start a fight which one is better, GTFO this thread, both are good. Thank you.

Not really ... waiting 980ti equivalent in new generation which is another year.

Thread moved to Graphics Cards.

Well, most likely. Well they are releasing their Titan so that should set a benchmark for 980ti equivalent(take 10-20%). I am aiming a bit lower, somewhere between gtx 960-970 depending on the price of course.

Woops, sorry bud, thought it would also make sense in general. My bad.

Why would a Titan be equal to a 980 Ti? Titan X is currently superior to it.

I did say take 10-20% off...

Don't really find myself excited by PC hardware anymore

The only reason I am this time is because of the new chip size, I am hoping it bring something new to the table from both sides.

Hopefully comes out right at the time when got enough money to buy a 980 ti or least within that timeframe more or less, my gtx 480 won't be able to handle the division

You should keep it for a spare oven if your main one ever breaks.

I wanted the 980 Ti when it came out but never got around to buying it, I am sitting on a ATI HD 5770 1GB which struggles to play anything from Dx10 or higher. So I'm determined to get a new rig this year with the latest and coolest bells and whistles, really excited to play games with at least 1080 Ultra or hell, might even go a new monitor as this monitor is dying on me.

I'm interested in what it might do to the price of the 900 series. You likely pay a big premium as early adopter of Pascal. 

 

[Citadelen]

I'm interested to see if AMD being at a process node 2nm smaller than Nvidia will make a noticeable difference to performance.

That is the trend for pretty much any new series - they'll release a Titan first, and then trickle it down. If the 980 Ti and 780s are anything to go by, they'll release a slightly lower end product that is significantly cheaper than the Titan.

It actually heats my radiator since its watercooled, which means i don't need to turn on the heater during the winter, just need to fire up furmark

Right, new video for Linus, reroute the whole room water cooling into radiators to heat the offices in winter.

I'm more excited for the possible price drop on the 900 series. Hahahaha

Same, will pickup a second eVGA GTX980ti Hybrid.

Personally I think it'll be like Skylake, it was a 14nm die shrink but it wasn't that much of a improvement, that being said the move to HBM2 might make a bigger difference.

Only time will tell...

[eLucid]

I can't wait. I have roughly 2k set aside for that fine piece of silicon.

To be honest with you, I am not to sure about the prices, because its very rare we see the manufacturer droping price... Maybe second handed will be cheaper but I don't think we will see a huge price drop on Maxwell. also as article stated, it will have more processing power then graphical (so obviously aming for virtual reality, they ofc said its x10 times stronger and faster, in reality I am HOPING to see maybe dobble the performance and that's a big MAYBE.

 

never the less, it should be good.

GP104 is due Q3 2016 as revealed several times. GP100 is due on Q2 2017. GP106 is due Q4 2016

What exactly is the point of this thread?

Apart from what AMD is doing this year (Zen) hardware seems a bit stale these days, its always the same old, there hasn't been no new inovation around GPUs for a while.

Software and ARM seem to be the most exciting features of this year.

Oh how I miss the times I used to get excited for new hardware and there was actually competition

True, but retailers might drop them anyway. Here in Brazil the 700 Series got slashed by a quarter of the price when the 900 came. 

 

Well, I just got my 970, maybe getting another one will get much easier.

JUST an FYI - we had such an article about AMD 2 months ago.

The fact that they are in testing and that the date is coming closer and closer?

Polaris was in testing in December.
