290 reviews will most likely be out by BF4 launch at the end of this month, afaik the GTX 780 Ti is arriving in November.
maybe now AMD can release some secret firmware update that enables the "extreme" mode for the 290x :ninja:
or... they are just going to look slower on the reviews.
it was obvious that Nvidia could easily release something GK110 based faster than Titan, and if the 290x was not clearly faster than Titan, it will certainly not going to outperform this card.
cpu limited is where would be. :biggrin:This is why anyone who wishes to see the downfall of one company or the other just needs to buy a PS4 and be done with it.
NV could have released this card months ago if AMD had put pressure on them.
Can you imagine where we would be if NV, AMD, and TSMC had all been on top of their game in the last 24 months?
This is what I think too. Like when they came out with the 7970GE. I dont think anyone will be releasing new cards anymore without anticipating what the other will do and then having an answer for it. Pretty soon it may be like a complex chess game with them trying to foresee each others moves and counter-moves several times over.Maybe this is what they waited for? Maybe they have a r290xT sitting on the shelf? Would be funny if so? Would be even funnier if they are currently using gimped drivers for the r290x.
Does anyone know if these streams are being recorded for viewing later? I would really like to see this interaction, but I am at work and can't watch the stream live.

Yesterdays event and the first part of today's event are viewable now.
I don't know about burying any one, but we do have a fair bit more info on the 780ti than the 290x before launch. The 780ti is going to be based on a chip already in production, the GK110 and based on many past reveals, it should have more cuda cores, or rather, have fewer or none disabled.Funny like for some people the name of the new gpu from nvidia is enough to bury AMD. Yet for the same people pre-released hawaii benchmarks are attempt to manipulate and to blind people.
Did nvidia stream their event?

We at least have a decent idea of what to expect at least.

To me it seems nvidia is not focused on GPUs at all as of late. They are really pushing other revenue streams more than usual. I think fab problems is focusing them to reshift to other products.
Huh? This doesn't even make sense.
"There’s not much more I can say at this point, except that I have several cards tested at 3840x2160, and R9 290X doesn’t just do well against the GeForce GTX 780…"
Where you get this from?
To me, it makes sense. Maybe even more sense than:
Handhelds, displays, VR? They are looking to the sides
Seems strange. I mean, it can't be faster than Titan. Can it?

So, all we KNOW is the name. That is a lot of info.We already have a 780 that is on the GK110. Would it not make sense that it will also be on the GK110?
Didn't see any benchmarks of uncut gk110They've also been rumoring an uncut Titan Ultra, which is also a GK110 chip from all rumors.
We have a lot of benchmarks on both these cards, so we at least have a jumping point on what to expect from the 780ti. We aren't speculating with nothing comparable.
So... what do we know? Name only?Will the 780ti take the place of the Titan Ultra, with the news of the 290x? Maybe.
Will it just be an OC'ed 780? Maybe.
It doesn't have to be gk110, does it?We don't have exact figures, but we do have some production chips that are close enough to it to at least have a few ideas.
I disagree. I think the Titan is a gamers card because it doesn't duplicate Quadro or Tesla functionality - keep in mind that most professional 3d applications require specific software drivers and firmware to be used, and on that note the GTX Titan does not support 10 bit color in adobe suite so it isn't all that useful for photo or video editing. This is also true of 3DS max and other software suites. They require specific software drivers and firmware for full functionality, generally speaking, which geforce does not provide. Quadro and Firepro do. That's why they cost more - the firmware, drivers, and support. There's a whole other level of support that comes with Quadro cards which a Geforce doesn't get.
The Titan is a gamers card for extreme surround gamers. 6GB of VRAM. That's how nvidia marketed it. You can look at their launch slides and what not and they marketed it as a gamers card, not as a professional card. Again - Titan DOES NOT duplicate quadro functionality nor does it come anywhere close.
That said, it is useful for CUDA development. It is not gimped in that respect, so it will be useful for someone in that context. But in other contexts the Titan definitely does not replicate Quadro or Tesla.
To me, it makes sense. Maybe even more sense than:
Handhelds, displays, VR? They are looking to the sides
I view Titan as a card that allowed a few gamers to buy a card ahead of its time. I do not believe Titan has much of a place right now. I do not believe Nvidia will slow up the 780ti just so the Titan remains the fastest of their cards, when they have to compete with the 290x now.

It doesn't have to be gk110, does it?
lol what? I bet you could take a poll and 90% of people bought it for gaming as main purpose and probably the only purpose.Why not? I don't think Titan was ever really geared towards gaming. Most of the people that bought it were people that wanted the advanced CUDA and OpenCL capabilities for professional and semi professional work, since it's much cheaper than the Quadro and Tesla models.
The 780 series is geared 100% towards gaming on the other hand.
GTX660Ti - gk104TI chips in the recent past have been souped up versions of their base cards name. Why are you expecting it to be different?
FTFYWe don't have exact figures, and I'm not claiming this, but we do have some cards based on the same exact architecture that can be used as a reference point, something we didn't have with the 290x. This is why people are a little more certain that the 780ti should beat out the 290x, since the 780 is within 20% of the 290x now.
