How fast will it be? If the 980 were only slightly faster than the 780 and had the same launch price 16 months later, that would be very disappointing.

What?
Performance? If it were more than 25% faster than the 780 Ti, I would be surprised...
You sure about that? Where does it say that 16 and 28 nm actually are gate lengths? Remember Intels nomenclature of their processes? They are "random" for a new set of process parameters which have...
This is small Maxwell, GM204.
@PedantOne:
Will the ARM core(s) in Big Maxwell have any use for gaming? PhysX, SLI, compute...? Or will it just be for HPC and not relevant for gamers at all?
According to TPU the 680 is only 80% faster, not double. Maxwell is indeed more bandwidth effixient.
No delay, but it can be assumed that Apple bought up much if not all of the initial 20 nm capacity. And then there is the question of process maturity/yields. When in the past 5+ years was such a...
If they kept the 16:1 ALU/TMU ratio from GM107 that would be 6144 ALUs compared to 2880 on GK110. Sounds way too much for a midrange part. This leaves the big dog. And I cannot imagine GM100/200...
I admit I only browsed over it quickly on my way to work. 2560 SP would equal about 3400 SP on Kepler, meaning about 20-30%% faster than the GTX 780 Ti at the same clocks. I don't know if 256-bit...
Your math is nice and all, but it won't happen that way. 20 nm isn't ready (capacity, Apple) and it is expensive. And Nvidia will not double performance if they don't need to. People bought the 680...
Too conservative? The 750 Ti is about 25% faster than the 650 Ti. Yes, it consumes less power, but it also has a bigger die size. I can't see Nvidia going all in with GM204, that's what GM200 is for....
My guess:
GTX 780 Ti + 30%, release date October/November 2014. Close? :)
Performance = power efficiency. At a given TDP you can get more performance. Of course that only holds true if Nvidia and AMD don't increase power consumption further and further but keep certain...
Perf/mm2 also increases with new architectures, not just due to node shrinks. And remember, GK110 already has 3840 ALUs - it's just that 960 of them are DP ALUs. If Nvidia could somehow use them for...
So how is the efficiency of this "new" not-real Maxwell compared to Kepler? Do you have some idea as to why the original GPU was cancelled?
DP, not SP. Next card with significantly more DP performance is 1.5 years away if I had to guess. Titan came 2013 in February, so Maxwell Titan should arrive in 2015.
Honestly, I find this mining fever disgusting. Capitalism and greed at its finest. If any company overpriced their products out of greed (I suppose), people whine and complain. But to make money...
Hexus and hardocp measure the whole system. A faster card might also tax the CPU a bit more, resulting in higher consumption. And you cannot assume that each card uses as much as it possibly can. The...
I kinda doubt these values...for all cards. Take Titan for example - the board power at 106% power target is 265W. How can they reach 311W? They can overclock all they want - without a mod bios they...
True. Although you have to differentiate between those sites that benchmark hot and cold or set a fixed boost for Kepler (PCGH and HT4U do this).
It has become quite complicated. Fact of the...
I know that he is paranoid and sees anti-AMD conspiracies everywhere. Oh well ;)
Such a nonsense and you know it. Hardware.fr and most German sites have the best testing methods on the web. That's a fact.
I doubt this 790 would improve performance over the 780 Ti by more than 50%. Not if they want to keep the TDP in check. The 590 was only 60% faster than the 580 - and the 780 Ti uses more power than...
Well at 1080p with VSync, the GPUs are probably far from fully utilized, thus it's no wonder that you don't experience microstuttering.
If you dip in the 40's or low 50's with 99% GPU load on both...
What fps are you usually getting? Are both GPUs fully utilized?
One can get used to microstuttering a bit. It helps to revert back to non-SLI for a quick comparison.
