Nvidia GTX 1080 Die Pictured - Will not be using HBM

[WYP]

Nvidia's GTX 1080 GP-104 GPU die has been pictured, revealing that the GPU will not be using HBM or HBM2 memory.

The latest AMD cards use HBM and they still cant beat the 980ti so as long as it performs as promised I'm happy.

But very impatient just released the cards already!!!!

If you have a 908ti I personally would wait for "next gen after pascal" I would not think there is going to be a significant performance increase this time round I would suspect it would be more efficiency and power draw but I am only speculating

I don't have a 980ti got the money ready for my new GPU but I'm waiting on pascal as it's supposedly imminent

Depends on games and engine etc but, AMD are not as far behind nVidia as some people think.

Personally I have not used a AMD card since the 8800 series nVidia cards but, I know people who have them and have, put them in relatives pc's because of the performance they offer the price.

It will be interesting to see how this next lot of cards perform.

HBM has nothing to do with the fact the Fury X is slower.. it's just that. Slower. AMDs issue is they aren't as CPU optimized as Nvidia's drivers. So in DX11, where CPU headroom is already limited to mostly 1 core(2 threads) they suffer performance. Even though they already aren't that far behind with the FX. That is why in DX12 they get a huge increase in performance as games as devs aren't as limited with there threads. Asnyc compute realistically only gives them 5-10% increase according to a game dev(think one from Hitman), the rest is just it being able to stretch it's legs. Just goes to show AMD need more work on there drivers CPU performance wise.

You're gonna be waiting awhile. Nvidia won't be releasing at earliest in late June, or early July. AMD are releasing before July(according to Lisa Su)

I agree 100%. Also interested as well of all the new cards. Always love to read about new tech

Jen-Hsun Huang did say at GDC that it wouldn't come with HBM as it isn't ready yet, and people will have to wait until the next gen 2017.

Obvious is obvious. Who would make a 4GB card like all oooooh it's so fast and bandwidthy that its effectively more.

Yeah i could sworn someone said 4GB HBM is the same as 6GB :huh:
