    What will be AMD'S next Move?

    AMD and Nvidia have been using various forms of compression for years. But both are having to deal with a situation where GDDR5 is essentially stalled and the obvious solution is to be more efficient with BW. That doesn't mean they're actually sharing IP.

    [wccftech] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Official MSRP Will Be $299

    I'd want it to be $300 just to have a rebuttal for all the "Nvidia is an evil profit machine" people. That, and also because it'd be awesome. :D

    [VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

    So they still exist, people who think there'll ever be 20nm GPUs. Apple is using 20nm for the iPhones. That has 2 implications: - 20nm is ready for very large volume. - very large volume eaten by Apple. If Nvidia and AMD are still releasing 28nm today, it will be a year before you see a...

    GM204-GK104: 32% difference in die size. 285-265: 65% difference in die size. After the dust settles and gm200 take the top spot, gm204 will take over the gk104 market segment. 285 and 265 play in different leagues.

    AMD's Tonga - R9 285 (Specs) and R9 285X (Partial Specs)

    Can we just agree that 285 not performing well on Mantle is a big fail for AMD? If it's a problem with the application, then it raises some major concerns about game devs having to target individual chips. If it's a driver issue, then AMD was insane to not make Mantle a priority for the launch...

    [VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

    If a HW bridge of a slave SLI board feeds straight into the display controller of the master SLI board, the only BW required is the BW needed to send over an image. This would be a simple back-pressured operation: slave GPU indicates that there is data available, master GPU indicates that a...

    What is better? A dedicated high-speed interface that's only used to transfer the final image, or a shared bus that's also used to feed the GPU with data? The biggest benefit of not needing bridge, is that you don't need a bridge. :big grin: Fundamentally, this is no reason why a bridgeless...

    Or simply something like this: "There are a few AMD fans in his audience who can't wait to get their hands on a GTX980. Why don't we give them all a round of applause for finally seeing the light!" The possibilities are endless: never go against a professional master of ceremony.

    R9 390X Cooling

    The R295X2 cooler is very good at what it does, and this one will be too, I'm sure. The problem is: it's way more expensive than regular cooling solutions, and I don't see a company do one unless it's strictly needed. If a ~420mm2 gm204 based GTX980 can run within a 170W power envelope, then...

    I kinda doubt it, but if you really think you can still get $300 for your GTX770 4GB, I'd sell them *now*. The GTX970 should be quite a bit faster no matter what.

    AMD breaks 25% barrier in professional graphics market in Q2 2014

    Gross margin percentage is a calculation based on the cost of goods to produce a widget and the revenue you derive from it.

    They'll argue that a 256 bits of DRAM is cheaper than 512 bits, and that morer is betterer and that they're entitled to the naming right of that chip.

    Scientific Visualization and GFX cards

    Do the triangles fit into GPU memory? In OpenGL, you can give hints to an object buffer about how the data is used. With the right hints, the driver may place the triangles in GPU memory and you won't be limited by PCIe bandwidth. Of course, if your application sends triangles to the GPU in the...

    Sure. Which quality, feature set, materials, and design do you have in mind where the 7970 was trumping the GTX680 at launch? unit cost: You want to reward AMD for being worse at efficient design?

    [VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

    I can assure you that those who bought a GTX680 at launch for less money than a 7970 with better performance were right to think that they got a great deal. It's not their fault that it took AMD 6 months to come up with a driver and a new SKU that made it surpass it. To get back on topic: if...

    [VC]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, GTX 980 SLI, GTX 970, 3DMark performance

    I agree: Nvidia should rename the gm204 die to gm200 and the gm200 to gm210. That would immediately shut up those people who whine about internal engineering names as if they matter.

    4k Monitors: Anyone have one and do you notice a difference?

    I've been using a 28" 4K for a bit at work, but I reverted to 2x 2560x1440 27". I need readable real estate, not higher definition that makes characters look better. This is on Win7. YMMV with Win8 or Mac. I spent too much time trying to find my mouse pointer... Now 3440x1440, that's something...

    Kitguru : Nvidia to release three GeForce GTX 800 graphics cards this October

    I don't think that's realistic if gm200 is also 28nm. If a gm204 is roughly the same performance as a 780Ti (give or take 10%), and a gm204 is 420mm2, then a gm200 would have to be on the order of 800mm2 to have double the performance in the case of perfect scaling. Not going to happen...

    The 980 performance prediction poll

    $500/$680 = 27% cheaper. Those 2% aren't going to make a big difference. It's all a big first order calculation anyway, since Nvidia sells dies, not finished GeForce GPUs, so the margin of error in estimates is large on this anyway. Yes, that too. And, as x3sphere points out, you need to give...

    Best Gaming GPU for $350 or Less

    Yes, there's no better time than this to just wait a few weeks. Nvidia will release something soon. And AMD is probably sitting on a full-die Tonga product to see how to position it against Nvidia.

    The 980 performance prediction poll

    I forgot what the latest gm204 die size speculations are, but let's say 420mm2. That's at least a whopping 25% cheaper than gk110 (probably more due to non-linear silicon cost scaling.) And it 33% fewer DRAM chips (though 4GB instead of 3GB, but gk110 was migrating towards 6GB.) And, compared to...

    Kitguru : Nvidia to release three GeForce GTX 800 graphics cards this October

    Few people care about power as a stand-alone metric. But it's important because it requires a less beefy cooling solution, so lower cost. And if gm204 has a drastically lower power requirement, it can be used in PCs with less beefy power supply as well. (Something Nvidia didn't forget to...

    The 980 performance prediction poll

    15% faster. I'm an optimist, so I chose 15%-30%. :) $500 seems reasonable. That would already put pricing pressure against the $430 of R290. More interesting question: how much will they price a 970. If it follows tradition and disables 2 cores out of 15 or 16 (15% slower) and it is priced at...
