Pascal Rumours Who's Excited

Will replace my 980ti trip ski ( :lol: autocorrect) setup without hesitation as soon as the next high end card on <28nm comes out. Even my cherry picked setup doesn't stand a chance against the power those GPUS will have.

So your system, in your sig, doesn't stand a chance against the power those GPUs will have?... Holy sh*t, then what will really? :p

I'm a single card kinda guy.

So am I ;)

Once you go 1440P you cannot go back ^_^

And that is so true, kinda boring with this 1080p monitor haha! :lol:
 
He he I know mate! They just need to get affordable, 400+ euro for a monitor is just a tad much.

€400 for decent monitor is nothing now, I'm not saying I could afford to buy one every 2 days but the monitor in ones setup should be quite expensive and of high quality because at the end of the day you are looking at it all the time.

That's why I gladly spent €700+ on mine as I knew I was getting damn good specs and it will last quite a long time.

If you can't afford a good monitor then save up for a while longer, Cheaping out on a monitor is never advisable.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to spend €2000 on a system and €350 on a monitor.
 
Hahaha I think that would make the ford explode XD
Pretty much. Ha!

I never understood those who bought Titan X-like systems for basic 120Hz 1080p TN screens. I know they're out there and are popular, but I also know there will always be games pushing any card to high hells for very little benefits. Like GTA V. With everything at max—MSAAx8, all the advanced settings at max, ultra grass, etc.—an overclocked Titan X struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 1080p. To me, that makes no sense since the game can run at 60 FPS at 4K with an overclocked Titan X with just a few settings turned down. That looks infinitely better, in my opinion. Why you would choose the former over the latter makes no sense to me. I recognise that some absolutely have to have all settings at max, and that's cool. But there's no denying that games like GTA V, AC Unity, etc. those crazy settings were never meant to be essential. I feel they were designed for future generations of graphics cards, and those few people running Titan X's with 1080p screens. That's obviously just my opinion. I can't actually prove it.

I feel it was the same with Crysis 3. To run Crysis 3 at max graphics at the game's launch, you needed a 7990, a 690 or a pair of Titan cards. They were really the only GPU's to handle 60 FPS with everything at max at 1080p. Considering the Titan wasn't available to buy when they were developing the game, I would hazard a guess that the developers intended on releasing the game without any limitations, not for the current generation of graphics card—bar the few with enough money and patience for SLI—but cards like the 980 and the Fury X, which were probably little more than concepts on a drawing board. Maybe they wanted to truly showcase what graphics can be.

Didn't the Total War developers say the same thing for their most recent game? The max settings were never designed for current graphics cards to be able to handle.
 
So was just having a random search and Tweak Town was talking about Nvidia's Upcoming Pascal 16nm HBM2 Gpu's and supposedly the release is Q1 next year with upto 32 gig ram so who's interested and excited for this? I know Iam if it's true
What do you all reckon?

according to these rumors could be a mistake to buy a titanx right now, the new cards are gonna destroy these.

but personally i don t trust em.

We hardly have any specs yet so I'm careful as well. I'll wait until they're well out before I'm buying, and would like the top tier model (not a titan) this round rather than an x70. How long between the 980 and Ti?

Getting and extra month's pay in December, the right time to buy that new monitor and use my 970 until Pascal is here.

The 980ti came out around 10 months after the 980. I have a feeling the '1080ti' will be out sooner than that after the launch of the '1080', but I could be easily wrong.
 
I'm not really that excited at all, i'm sure it will be just as good as it needs to be and then priced accordingly. For 1440p gaming I have all the necessary performance. I could get excited over the potential for sensibly priced 4k setups however I doubt anyone will ever make a monitor that excites me enough to want to do it. (High refresh rate, G-Sync, 32").

Maxwell is more or less stripped, so I dont see massive performance gains Pascal at least not for gaming. Still 28 down to 16, would like to see how much they can cram in.
 
And how long between the 780 and its Ti? I don't want to wait ten months lol

Stripped Newbie_NS810? What do you mean?

So for a single card configuration you'd recommend 1440p rather than 4K? I'll keep it for a few years.

My guess is small Pascal will be around 30% faster than GM200 and big Pascal will be around 70% faster. I think that is being conservative too.

About six months between 780 and 780ti.

I find it hard to believe that small Pascal will be 30% faster than a 980ti. Although I felt the 980 was a little underpowered, the difference between the 780 and the 780ti was not as big as the difference between the 980 and the 980ti. With that in mind, if small Pascal is 30% faster, conservatively, that would be a huge increase. Depending on the benchmark, 680 SLI was more powerful than a 980, at least at launch. If small Pascal is 30% more powerful than big Maxwell, that would make the '1080' a lot more powerful than 780 SLI. That does not seem feasible in my opinion, especially if big Pascal is going to be 70% faster than a 980ti. A 980ti is not 70% faster than a 780ti, right? I know it's a die shrink with HBM2, and it would be awesome to see, but is it really going to happen? Would nVidia blow their load so quickly when they could easily tease that kind of performance out of another generation?
