Nvidia shows off the TITAN X at GDC

[ShaunB-91]

This sounds fair and legit

Just hate how the Titan X Demo'ed it but if you buy a Titan X your games won't magically look like that. Best you will get this year is Witcher 3 maxed out, not a bloody Pixar animation!

Just a con to pull in any noobs.

Flesh tones are better on AMD cards anyway.

I will post them but I think the 390X will give this card some really stiff competition @1080p and 1440p. I think at the lower resolutions HBM memory on the 390X will give a boost in fps but @2160p it won't make much difference. It will be a bit like comparing a 290X to a 980 @1080p but in reverse with the 390X being the faster card but the gap closing @2160p

Going back to this Kaap..

That doesn't really make much sense. At 1080p the extra memory bandwidth won't really boost it because even GDDR5 can do it very easily. Whereas you move up the resolution and textures(etc.) it will gain more benefit because it is effectively using far more of the bandwidth and has a much much higher ceiling than GDDR5 does. So as you go higher in res it will take less of a FPS hit. I'm not sure it'll gain you that much but it won't hit against the card as much keeping the mins and avgs slightly higher. 1080p isn't very instensive so i don't think it'll make much a difference tbh.

Did NVIDIA confirm that this GPU is able to adress all 12GB of memory available to it?

It uses a throwback technology enabling 512MB. The other 11.5 is there for if your friends ask how much you have, you can then whip out your manual.

1080p is not very intensive but the fps can be very high, this is where very fast memory helps. This is the trick the NVidia 9 series use to beat the 290 series at lower resolutions. Unfortunately for NV this does not work so well at high resolutions where a wider bus works better than fast memory.

Guess i overlooked that then. The HBM on AMDs cards aren't rumored to be highly clocked though.. so i guess we'll see.

It does not have to be as it has already got more bandwidth than any GPU would need. I just hope we see cards with more than 4gb in the near future.

Not even bothered about that tech demo, yet another stunning demo when actual playable games don't look anything like it, so makes it irrelevant and a con.

Tbh that tech demo was pretty outstanding on both tech and art side.

CGI for ya!

Now if it was a game.. that's different and i would be wetting my pants for a week or two..

And that would actually be something haha :lol:

In theory that could have been a game. It was all real time with dynamic lighting. I'm hoping epic will release the project so that we can have a proper look at the map.

Oh no it certainly was, no doubt about it but its kind of like "Here, buy this GPU and this is what your "stuff" will look like on your screen!" but thats not true, we won't be seeing that for a long time in playable games yet. It was almost a complete animated movie, I thought it was a follow up to Finding Nemo in "Nemo's dentists son tries to find his kite".

Again, this sound fair and legit , kinda/quite hilarious too :lol:

The background looks alot like an Unreal 3 engined game called 'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter'.

^If that is achievable on UE3, imagine what UE4 will be able to do.

I think it was to show off the engine's capabilities rather that trying to amaze people with the hardware. Remember this was shown at GDC not E3.

And yes the fact it looked like a move in real-time is very impressive.

We all capable of doing things, but whether we actually do them is another story.

What lol?

Regarding looking like an animated film. Consider that Frozen took 4000 computers 30 hours a frame to render - maybe that will put it into perspective. ^_^

So the Titan X is more powerful than a big chunk of those 4000 computers and can render in real-time not 30 hours per frame? Nah. They are just having you off with this tech demo.

Barnsley that game you posted, forgot the name of it does look awesome, as does Far Cry 4, as does The Witcher 3, but its still nothing on this tech demo.

Nooo. I couldn't give a crap about the card it is running on I'm referring to the engine tech! lols
