NVIDIA to launch Maxwell in Q1 2014

[Fruitbooter]

I think any cards that come in Q1 2014 will be 28nm 800 series re-brands.

20nm Maxwell will prob come in Q3 and it will be a year from now I think to see the top dog 880 20nm

28nm can GTFO if not a dual-GPU top end product. Anything else is not good enough for Star Citizen.

I'm hoping mine can do Star Citizen justice otherwise I'm gonna be depressed lol

660 will be fine for minimum settings at 1080/ 1200p.

 

I however, aim to record game play at ultra 1440p and have absolutely no toleration for stutter in any part of the chain.

No 20nm...

It will be 20nm TSMC already set up months ago everything to get 20nm production ready for Q1/Q2.
And there is no way that only the 880 will be 20nm that would make the production cost way to high.
The GTX880/870/860 will be for sure 20nm probably even down to the GTX850 just like with Kepler.

From what I was reading, the Maxwell architectire will remain at 28nm though only rumoured

There is no way that's happening Maxwell is stated to be 20nm on the Nvidia  Roadmap for Years now.

And TSMC is getting 20nm production ready since october.

Also a rebrand would make no sense and they can't bring new 28nm GPUs because they don't have any.

 

[DanielColato]

Forgot where i read this but TSMC had some sort of accident happen that stopped them from making 20nm til like Q3 2014. If Nvidia rebadges AGAIN then that's quite silly i think they already got all the performance they can get out of 28nm. Anything released in Q1 will most likely be 28nm

[Lord Pantaloons]

awww yiss

[miyabwah]

Hopefully not hot.

[gatecrasherlok]

I'd say q2 would be a more realistic time frame for a proposed maxwell launch. Anything before that would be small breadcrumbs to feed the interest of us techies

[consoleconvergence2pc]

Late Q2 / Early Q3 is more realistic than Q1.

The only thing coming out in Q1 would be there GTX 790 which i highly believe should be coming out in march just like the previous dual cards

[xWhiip]

My body is ready for Titan 2.  

[Kamina]

much old

So looks like Nvidia are going to pull some more cards out of their butt.

Kinda a lil early dont you think?

 

 

My guess is that 780/780 Ti will be the 870.

you guys know that they are calling it maxwell because its a totally different architecture right? there wont be rebadging at least on the high end side.

and we knew it was going to be a new architecture for a while now

[Glenwing]

Is rebranding really necessary?

It was silly enough when AMD did it, now nvidia?

 

Both of them have been doing it since the beginning of time

[Inkz]

So I do not like calling out articles but this article was from August and they also said a GTX790 should have already been here....

[kuddlesworth9419]

This is old news and lol at the people saying they will be rebadged.

They won't be because Maxwell is a different architecture. 

[Eroda]

exactly, the 880/870/860 will be maxwell arch not sure on performance  nvidia can pick where they want to put each of those GPU's performance but they will want  maxwell out with its denver arm core  to get devs thinking and producing ways to leverage that so they can make some headway in the mobile market

[TheProfosist]

On tomshardware they mentioned the 750 ti being maxwell which is intriguing.

Yeah i read that on Techpowerup. 750 ti Maxwell on 28nm.

yep im quite intrigued since its replacing the 650 ti boost and thats what my htpc has. If its a big enough improvement and comes with a newer or updated feature set I might bite.
