Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

[mAJORD]

I think its based on rumor it taped out last month

[Zloyd]

Think ATI is gonna have HD8970 out before the end of the year ?

[3lfk1ng]

Nope.

[Aten-Ra]

HPC Kepler products was known to be released in Q2-Q3 2012 already. The only think we dont know yet is when Desktop GK100/110 will be released.

[Russian]

My Birthday is in September, that's obviously why such a thing would be launched then!

[aussie-revhead]

Please let these clock like buggery with a water block and extra juice .....

[zalbard]

For reference:

GeForce GTX 480 was launched on March 27, 2010.
Quadro 6000 (448 CUDA cores, closes thing to GTX 480) was launched on July 27, 2010. 4 months later. Could be the same this time around. Who knows about GK110, though...

that's more or less accurate, as far as I know most phone and tablet makers are going to ditch Tegra 3 (Kal-El) for cortex A-15's

So reviews should be out in a few days, some people already have the cards and even put it on sale, this guys for example

Who the hell is this douchebag in San Diego with GTX 680s and how do I not know him?!?

[Rollo]

^^ that's exactly why I keep harping on about "business decisions" when people (specially fans) talk about lack of need to release products.

It seems my comments go unread since people keep posting how "110" was not needed to be released... lol I have never seen this kind of behaviour ever...

Inter saying to shareholders: "Let's not release any more CPU's for the next 4 years, AMD needs to catch up and our CPUs are fast enough!"

If anyone find the above comment extremely stupid that's exactly what's being said right now on this thread about Nv's bigger chip.

does the mighty 104 seem like a good product? all indications say yes, do people want to go on having a mental diarrhoea and say the first thing that pops in their head? most likely.

Perhaps people aren't replying because there's really nothing to discuss.

On one hand we have the rumored specs of a product that appears to be launching this week. On the other we have conjecture about a chip we don't even know exists, or if it does, may not be ready for release.

It's a lot easier to discuss parts that are either released or at least we've seen all sorts of leaked info about.

NVIDIA hasn't stopped launching chips as your analogy suggests, although from all indications AMD is going to wish they did this week. The first 40nm chips were low end, personally I'm happy the first 28nm chips launched look to be the best GPUs available on the planet. I'm sure other Kepler chips will be launched over the next couple years, until they are, sign me up for two of these.

Link to source of this info?

[trinibwoy]

I don't think his backside has internet access.

[Rollo]

Mum's the word, ole boy. I wish that I could spill the beans...

What beans do you have to spill?

Are you employed by AMD, their PR firm, one of their OEMs, or a software developer?

These are the only people with "beans to spill" about unreleased AMD parts and I somehow doubt AMD employees, software developers, or OEM employees are sporting three water cooled GTX480s. Just can't see a Sapphire or AMD employee with 480s, and software devs would have NVs latest, not 2 years old parts.

Are you associated with Edelman PR?

[SubZero.it]

Bingo.

Mmm..no. That is just marketing.

[kuroikenshi]

Link to source of this info?

well I could go and link a few, but since you're so keen to talk about it I think you should do the research yourself.
at least all of the phones coming out this year that I have read about either use Cortex a-15 or OMAP5 (which is basically a product from TI enclosing 2x cortex a15 cores + 2 cortex m4 cores), which will be used by Sony and Samsung, not sure about htc. but OMAP5 is definitely more powerful than the current kal-el on the market.

I have read that Tegra 3 was doing some devs with the automotive industry, but besides the Transformer Prime I haven't read of many other devices using kal-el

**edit, I have made the conscious decision to no longer post on this thread.


Cheers for the good read.

$578.20

[nascasho]

Friggin dammit, so it will be ~$550.

I hate waiting, but this will be one of the gen's where I wait it out till I see some prices worth paying for. Not like my 480 isn't doing well, but 900Mhz @ 1.1V = serious wattage and my room = tiny. Oh, also got the hardware itch.

Yeah, I'd say $550 for normal editions... .

[Pantsu]

I'm sure that 300$ GK104 will be available...in 2014.

Special thanks to AMD for pricing the Radeon 7970 so high at the outset.... .

[ajaidev]

Volume discount on HD7970 is $535 "For consumers" so a reduction in price for an OCed HD7970 would most likely be an easy thing for the partners.
