Depends on inches. The rig specs must stay between the e and rl (peens) in size.Me too. I'm going octo-SLI with quad 4960X and a terabyte of RAM this time, how about you?

Nvidia has announced that it will be hosting a 24 hour event on the 18th of September called Game24, the goal is simple- to celebrate PC gaming. The company will be live streaming content from events set up in London, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Stockholm as well as other locations.
If you would like to go to one of the physical locations for this event then you will have to sign up for entry and hope you get in, it appears to all be on the house so you won’t have to pay anything to get in if you’re selected.
The company will be promoting the event with a count down of gaming’s biggest moments up until the 18th. Nvidia has yet to post information on what will be happening at its event locations, although the company has promised giveaways, game reveals and developer interviews, which will be viewable on the live stream.Nvidia is also rumored to announce its next series of graphics cards this month based on the Maxwell architecture.
Over at the Asian based mydrivers website a new render popped up slightly teasing the new MSI new MSI TwinFrozr V cooler. The cooler is based on a big dual-stack aluminum fin heat-sink led by five 8 mm thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes. The fans will become bigger at two 100 mm fans.
MSI is rumored to be innovating a new impeller design that steps up air-flow to noise ratio. Well, we'll have to wait and see if the upcoming Maxwell series graphics card released later this month will have this new cooler. Here's the render. Also added some concept photos taken at Computex which look quite a bit different, courtesy of Computerbase.
We are very close to GeForce GTX 900 series announcement. Yet the amount of leaks is not very overwhelming.
Thankfully, Gibbo from OverclockersUK spilled some beans about GTX 980 and GTX 970. According to him NVIDIA is planning 4GB reference models and also 8GB with custom cooling solutions at later date. Of course, we also heard about 8GB models. In fact flagship cards with doubled memory are nothing surprising. According to OCUKs and our information GTX 980 and GTX 970 with 8GB models are expected somewhere between November and December.
Gibbo:
980 / 970 4GB reference cards with 8GB coming at a later date with custom coolers. Cant say any more but dont expect a huge leap in performance over current single GPU stuff.
Gibbo:
They replace 780, not 780Ti.
Performance wise, my lips are sealed on how it compares to 780Ti, but of course 980 is quicker than 780 for sure!
I read what Gibbo said. Perhaps I'm reading through rose-colored glasses, but I'd like to think he was being coy and playing games. He says in his first line that "they replace 780, not 780ti." I think he means in the pricing scheme, not performance. His next line discusses performance. If he really knows the 980 is "quicker than 780 for sure," I highly suspect that he knows (or has a good idea about) where 980 lands relative to the 780ti. There is, what, a 20% difference between 780 and 780ti, give or take a few % points?
It may not be much faster in stock form, but the question is.. How well will it OC? Can't wait to find out!
I got a bad vib (not much faster than 780TI imo) but I reading between the lines imo. Yes I believe the 780Ti is around 20% faster than the 780.
I don't think anyone here is saying GM204 on 28nm is going to be 35% faster than GK110. Maybe a few months ago, but not in the past 6-8 weeks.
If performance is = 780ti.. fail.
TV I did say 25-35%, one example check post #347 dated 8-13-14 member saying at least +25% over the 780Ti in this same thread who carries a little weight with his opinion for me on Nvidia products imo, I have seen a few other posts on AT by a few members saying similar in 1 or 2 other threads within around the last 4 weeks but I can't remember which threads or going spend the time to trying to find them. I also remember reading someone saying not that long ago here that the 980 might be a 400mm^2 and not the 300mm^2 reported by KG in which case thinks we might see this type of performance if it is 400mm^2 depending also on the core/sp's count. At this point I really do not know what to expect from the 980.
For a smaller chip with fewer "cores" it's not so much a failure as a good deal if it's cheaper than 780ti, uses less power & is easier to make while offering similar performance.
Sure, if you're not interested in getting people who have 780 and 780ti cards to upgrade...
The $500+ card market were at last numbers about 1-3% of the discreet market. Basically the perpetual upgraders. If the card is not even faster than a 780ti, it's a fail. Lots of way to spin it, but I'd guess there would be buyers who wouldn't find it a fail that over a year later a card no faster gets released and will buy one, because they didn't already get a 780, Titan or 780ti... :whiste:
It actually only needs to be about 5-10% faster for you to eventually upgrade. You've gone from what... 680s to Titans to 780s to 780 TI's now? I can see why you are complaining. In fact, I'll go as far to say if it matches the 780 TI at stock, but overclocks way better you'll jump all over it yet complain nonstop.
I'm on a 670, and I'd consider it a failure if the 980 wasn't faster than the 780TI as well.It actually only needs to be about 5-10% faster for you to eventually upgrade.

Yes Blackend23 is expecting ~25%. And you did say 25-35%, but I said specifically no one is has been saying 35% for some time now. It seems 25% is the upper bound and most don't think that. But his reasoning is sound, if not overly optimistic. GM107 absolutely destroys everything in perf/watt so if Nvidia engineered GM204 to scale up with a higher TDP than GK104, then it should scale up in performance as well. But if it consumes roughly the same amount of power as GK104 and has the same efficiency as GM107, then it'll end up about 5-10% faster than GTX 780 TI. I think *most* are guessing 10-15% faster. I personally have went from thinking it'll be 30% faster a few months ago, to now being among the 10-15% plurality. If it's on 28nm, it's going to end up being around 400mm^2 regardless of it's final performance. My best current guess is $549 GTX980 and +5-10% over GTX780 TI, $449 for GTX970 +10% over GTX780, and $379 for GTX960 TI performance about 5% slower than GTX780. I think GK104 will be rebadged as GTX960 and GTX950 TI, while a higher clocked with faster memory GM107 will be the GTX950.
