NVIDIA CES 2017 Thread

So no GTX 1080 Ti announcement but lots of other thing. Most interesting is Xavier's "30 TOPS DL is 50% higher than when Xavier was first announced" and a new SHIELD Console. Thoughts? http://www.anandtech.com/show/10999/ces-2017-nvidia-keynote-live-blog

Nvidia Volta Discussion

My bad :) I should've chosen my words more correctly. What I meant is (the corrected version) it's time for a new nvidia GPU radically different like Fermi but without the disaster. Maybe a Fermi/Maxwell. You are correct :). Nvidia literally did blow AMD at both performance and energy...

Nvidia Volta Discussion

Somebody sees what I'm seeing :D. I feel nvidia likes to designed an architecture around an API or a major feature and enhanced it until the next big design shift comes (akin to your examples). NV30 till NV47 was fixed shader pipeline DX7-8-9 era. G80 till GT200 was unified shaders and DX10...

Nvidia Volta Discussion

I call dibs nvidia will unveil its own Async Compute implementation called AsyncWorks with Volta and buried AMD/RTG with the new and improved GameFinallyWorks program. /s Joking aside, how are your thought on nvidia's upcoming Volta Architecture? It will have a substantial performance boost...

Nintendo Switch is powered by NVIDIA

http://wccftech.com/nintendo-nx-receive-new-pokemon-mario-games-within-six-months-launch-several-third-parties-already-board/ Looks like some of you was right. Graphics fall between PS3 and PS4. Not that bad.

Nintendo Switch is powered by NVIDIA

Yup. Nintendo already learned their lesson the hard way with the WiiU. Just a year after its release, both juggernaut next-gen consoles came in. The WiiU weak 1st party titles on the first year doesn't help it either too. Yeah you probably correct on Nintendo choosing Nvidia not for 3rd...

Nintendo Switch is powered by NVIDIA

I think Nintendo is trying to differentiate itself from 2 big juggernauts here (Sony,Microsoft) since those two already have a refresh in the works (Neo/Scorpio) and Nintendo isn't going to make a loss from day 1. Think about it. It would be suicide to target PS4, Xbone now when dev will...

NVIDIA Pascal Thread

1. I didn't said anything about used for concurrent workload. 2. Jee, what was I posting again? Right, a question about How Pascal does Async Compute :) . Does that doesn't qualified as a question? o_O If so, how could you accused me of saying the bold. 3. Pascal used a software-based...

NVIDIA Pascal Thread

Does anyone know how Pascal handle Async Compute execution? Some say no, some say with preemption and Ryan Smith said in Time Spy comments section that Pascal really does support it. (Confused)

GP106 speculations

I don't think GP106 could be using 64 CUDA Cores per SM a-la GP100. I could be wrong though. GP104 used the same SM config as GM204 (128 CUDA Cores per SM) meaning 32+32+32+32 CUDA Cores blocks in a SM(A TPC house a single SM plus PolyMorph). If GP106 really does use GP100 64 CUDA Cores block...

AMD & Nv uArch

With scalable solution we have to wait for Volta. NVLink is designed for multiple GPU links so just wait and ready popcorn. As for the landslide.. no argument there :)

AMD & Nv uArch

NV can but they won't. I don't blame them. Having a good uArch plus not having to designed it big and wide was a major engineering achievement for NV and to cost and R&D . With Volta NV probably will do it big and wide akin to Fermi. Who knows. GameWorks is a mixed bag. If it pushed more...

AMD & Nv uArch

Sorry for the late replies and I think some of you got me wronged on some part. Like I said earlier, I have no deep technical knowledge on GPU uArch design. Not even tried to code on them yet. All my knowledges are for Ryan's uArch disclosure/analysis, whitepapers and tech sites. If one...

AMD & Nv uArch

For the most part everybody already knew both AMD & Nvidia uarch design decision. Nvidia went to a narrow and serial design focusing on DX11. NV also ripped out fermi hw scheduler from future uarch to make way for power & execution efficiency purposes (Instructions is fixed so can be...

Opinions about Sony's Camera Tech

Hi again :) . I want to say thank you to all of those that really give good info and not just start a flame war about the state of camera tech (especially Sony's tech) . I want to ask another question (I really want to make this thread a sticky for just discussing camera tech like lens, sensor...

Opinions about Sony's Camera Tech

So is it because of Sony's weak lens lineup? Or there's something more? And is Sony not focusing on the pro camera market with their alpha brand? (the recent being the a7R)

Can Qualcomm Kryo do what Krait did

But as Qualcomm is still in the high-end offering for the time being. Can it make it still before everyone go in-house? *cough*samsung*cough* IMHO, Kryo and their Zeroth platform still look like it can win back some customer. Except Samsung :\ (Project Mongoose?)

Can Qualcomm Kryo do what Krait did

With Kryo set to become Qualcomm new flagship custom core, can it bring back Qualcomm's glory days akin to when Snapdragon 600 and 800 came? We all know how a mess 810 brings (Throttle + pretty lack luster in perf compare to Exynos 7420). So can 820 put the past behind? And with ARM Cortex...

[WCCFtech] AMD and NVIDIA DX12 big picture mode

That we have to wait. If what you're saying is true, that Mantle went into DirectX 12 and Vulkan codebase then every upcoming game using it will be superior or much better perform on AMD's GCN than on Nvidia's Arch since it have (quite possibly) every Mantle performance enhancing trick on it...

I'm done with Samsung.

Although Lollipop sucks at garbage collection and battery life even at stock, it's Samsung that actually make it look like it's much worse than anything. I had a S3 before (with ICS originally) but after the 4.3 Jelly Bean update it feels like Samsung are forcing me to get a new phone since it...

[WCCFtech] AMD and NVIDIA DX12 big picture mode

Actually, I think AMD is just that lucky. I don't know about GPU much let alone about programming one but I can make and educated guess. GCN Gen1 (Tahiti) doesn't even have support for more than 8 ACEs in the first place. After the unveil of PS4 and AMD substantial collaboration with Sony ICE...
