Anybody else unimpressed with new midrange Nvidia GPUs, and much higher MSRP?

Thanks for the clarification, but it still doesn't mention whether it's optional on the controller side as well. I don't think that it is. Every post specifically mentions monitors, and having consumers verify compatibility up and down the chain (source, monitor, cables even?) sounds... meh...

It's optional on the display side because it's a cost adder on the display side. It needs extra chips for it work. It doesn't state whether it's optional on the source side as well. I'm guessing it's mandatory for the source because it isn't a cost adder. Also because it's wide standard body...

Mea culpa. Missed the V. Regardless, if NV adhere to the DP 1.2 standard then they implement Freesync, and all indications are that they will.

One thing that I don't get is how NV/AMD control what kind of memory aftermarket cards will use. It'd be mental to design and use 2 different memory controllers on the same arch, so if the 1080 supports GDDR5x then certainly so should the 1070. What's stopping an OEM slapping GDDR5x on a...

Actually that is "Freesync". AMD submitted Freesync to VESA for standardization. As part of the DisplayPort 1.2a standard it's called Adaptive Sync: http://www.vesa.org/news/vesa-adds-adaptive-sync-to-popular-displayport-video-standard/...

PC Client shipments in free fall Q1.

If AMD does this it will be committing suicide. The reason you are not getting said lanes is that owns will build 4 wide server systems on a much cheaper platform. Edited because phones and fingers...

NVIDIA Pascal Thread

Correct my if I'm wrong, but as long as the chip is capable, isn't memory type and amount decided by the OEM? I'm thinking at launch Polaris/Pascal will sport GDDR5 on reference cards but 6 months down the line we start seeing OEM revisions with GDDR5X. As I understand it both chips...

how much do you think this painting is worth?

Can't dispute that in this case, but as long as the money is in motion it'll find it's way to an investor. Heck, even now it may be used to buy 300 millions dollars worth of 'the next big thing' in artistry. Still can't see how this sale can be considered a bad thing. Static money is the enemy.

Why does this irk you so? The money didn't disappear. If anything, it went from someone who doesn't 'value' it, to someone who presumably does, and perhaps will invest it in a 'better' way. It's capitalism working as intended.
