GeForce 800M 8gb vram roadmap

You’ve probably heard the rumors about Maxwell GPUs being prepared for March. I didn’t post about it for a reason, it was nothing new and nothing confirmed.

 
However today we have something more solid to share. A leaked roadmap from notebook manufacturer CLEVO suggest that first GeForce 800M GPUs will be available in February.
 
GeForce GT 800M series
The lineup starts with:
 
GeForce GT 840M (N15S-GT1),
GeForce GTX 850M (N15P-GT) – I think it should actually be called GT 850M
We expect these cards to feature rebranded Kepler GPUs. All of them will be offered with 2GB GDDR5 memory.
 
GeForce GTX 800M series
Moving forward to more interesting models, we have:
 
GeForce GTX 880M (N15E-GX-A2),
GeForce GTX 870M (N15P-GT),
GeForce GTX 860M (N15P-GX)
The GTX 880M would be offered with 8GB memory, although it is not clear if this refers to SLI configuration or not. Same with GTX 870M which is advertised with 6GB frame buffer. Even the GTX 860M would have 4GB ram.
 
As you see, these charts are quite confusing, I think guys from CLEVO meant SLI configurations while typing about the memory. That said GTX 880M, GTX 870M and GTX 860M would be equipped with 4GB, 3GB and 2GB memory respectively.
 
All these mobile GeForce 800M models will be available in February. Are we looking at Maxwell GPUs? Quite possibly yes (but of course not all of them). One thing is almost certain though, these are not 20nm GPUs.

me: woah...

Real programmers don't document, if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
I've learned that something constructive comes from every defeat.

Why in hell would a laptop GPU would have so much memory? Not even enthusiast class desktop GPU have that size.

I'm guessing the 880M will be as powerful as a 670.

Except the 770 wouldn't overheat and be a heater for winter :P

Part of their master plan to get you to waste money in my opinion.  I don't even use 8gb of Desktop RAM, let alone laptop VRAM.  Maybe it's something about M series gpus that requires more memory? Strange.

 Not THAT powerful.

Are people forgetting the fact there are laptops with 4k displays already nvidia sees how much VRAM 4k uses and putting adaquite amount in.

I wonder how much mem bandwidth nvidia gave the card inorder to use the 8gb of vram

We also shouldn't forget that Maxwell will have shared memory so more VRAM makes sense.

So with these dates for the mobile chips can anyone estimate when will we get the desktop cards?

But we havent seen what they have in the pipes for their desktop maxwell gpus. Im not saying that this is true but I thought I would just say.

Wow....8gb???!!!

 

8gb on any single gaming gpu would be monster.

Well, no. On a good GPU with the memory bus and clock rate it is and from what we've seen from mobile in the past its abit pointless, GT610 4GB is a good example, where more memory isn't helping in the slightest.

A good point, and I know this but for some reason what I knew in my brain and what I typed turned out to be two different things lol.

 

Like the whole 4gb on a 760 fiasco.

If any GPU could actually use 8gb, it'd be getting like 1fps.. lol

Is this an example of the workstation market place moving to portable computing?  If the market share is starting to favor laptop style computers for cad work etc then this implementation with 8G ram starts to make sense.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.
