Nvidia Keynote at CES

[Nowak]

NOOOOO ONNNNEEEEEE

Trolls like Videocardz,

Plays forums like Videocardz,

No one sets false expectations like Videocardz,

For there's no tech site on the internet half as shady

Perfect, a pure paragon

You can expect them to say Nvidia will sell you the world

And all they'll do is laugh all the way to town!

 

NOOOOO ONEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Bullshits like Videocardz,

Hypes up nothing like Videocardz,

Or saddens entire forums like Videocardz!
As a site, yes, I'm clickbaity!
My, what a site, that Videocardz!

 

cba to finish the rest of the song.

That would be SO disappointing. AMD probably prepped for a 1080Ti announcement, which means that their keynote tomorrow will be pretty insane.

Nope again, my source said AMD knew there would be no 1080ti. 

[VagabondWraith]

Aside from G-Sync, I'm holding out hope for AMD tomorrow. I hope they show a card as powerful / more powerful than the GTX 1080. I need something a bit more than a 1080 to push 1440p 165Hz. C'mon AMD, don't let me down.

 

I'm going to bed now, but 1) anyone know what time AMD's conference is and 2) are AMD's reference cards easy to put an AIO on?

It's software, Freesync is software and so has latency. Also doesn't kick in unto 30 or 48 fps, depending on the monitor. 

 

GSYNC is hardware. SO no latency or limitations. 

Honestly IDK so much about this.

can someone back me up on this?

It was mostly high expectations and no mention of gaming at all. most of Nvidia revenue is still gaming

Pretty sure Jen-Hsun said everything they do is thanks to their success in the GPU from PC gaming.

 

Their Shield is also a gaming device if you want it to be one. I'm personally going to be getting one when I move.

You really think me an others spend money on video game software and GPU's and computer tech to see it spent on cars and home spying devices? Should spend time and money from GPU sales on new memory like HBM and faster GPU,s better software drivers which people spent money on not car parts and crap.

They are fucking doing that. How do you think they came up with Pascal? Kepler? Everything before that? Just because they didn't release an overpriced GPU today, you're mad? Grow up.

If FreeSync was software only, you could use it on any card. And you can't, because it needs (guess what) a hardware controller on the graphics card.

Pretty sure there's a controller in a FreeSync monitor just like there is in a G-Sync monitor, it's just not the same exact thing. FreeSync can be implemented in a monitor that has Adaptive Sync support, which has to follow a particular design.

Who/What is your source?

you may have a legit source, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, but this is usually something people say on the internet to win arguments, and their source is sometimes as stupid as "My dad, who has a friend who once ate at a taco shop owned by a man who is friends with the AMD CEO"

But not the monitor... We're talking about monitors. Freesync monitors do not have a Freesync chip. GSYNC monitors have a GSYNC chip.

So why do only some monitors support Freesync???

FreeSync requires a scalar on the monitor that is compatible with VESA Adaptive Sync, and a graphics card with a VRR capable display thingamabob (can't remember the exact name and it's half past 5 in the morning) but they're only in the r9 290 and higher graphics cards)

Obviously can't tell you, but check this topic I broke the news of no 1080ti and a new Shield before the event. My topic got nuked...

Licencing. Google it. I'd do it for you but you get warnings for that here.

You can be limited by the G-Sync hardware itself and processing is still required so latency is not negated by using a G-Sync chip.

You topic got nuked because there is already a thread on the nVidia keynote, and your post didn't follow the news thread guidelines

[Nowak]

If you believed that Nvidia would announce the 1080 Ti today, then I must ask you:

When was the last time Nvidia announced a new GPU at CES?

They do have Adaptive Sync hardware. It's not just software. FreeSync may just be software but it's still using VESA's Adaptive Sync standard that is only available in certain monitors.

[Marinatall_Ironside]

Can we all agree that deep learning and AI is the next big market, and it's good that Nvidia was (at least I believe) the first company to develop hardware and the software necessary to facilitate the fast processing of tremendous amounts of data. Sooner or later AI will be Nvidia's main focus.

 

I just finished watching the whole stream that went down and I have to honestly say that AI is really the next big thing.

True, latency is just lower than Freesync. To a close to imperceptible degree. 

 

[DarkBlade2117]

Tbh maybe Nvidia just won't release a 1080Ti. They've got some good reason to which is putting that focus towards Volta.  I still stand with my statement of AMD would be utterly fucking stupid to release Vega 6-7 months, probably closer to 8-9 months once it is actually released and have it be on-par with Pascal. They'd be pure fucking idiots and it would ruin them. Vega has to be at MINIMUM in my eyes 15% faster then Vega at good price points such as the $400 Vega card has to be at least 15% faster then the 1070 to be considered a successful launch.

I honestly don't know, but I'm assuming that the VESA Adaptive Sync is good enough

Vega GPU /  G-Sync monitor = no bueno.

You can sell the Gsync monitor used, then buy the Freesync variant and still come out on top in terms of money
