Nvidia is dominating

[Magic Carpet]

Nvidia chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang said that his company’s graphics chips are “further ahead [of the competition] than at any other time in our history.” Nvidia announced its newest graphics chips for PCs last week, with the high-end products aimed at gamers and virtual reality fans at the outset.

“Our PC gaming platform, GeForce, is strong, and it’s getting stronger than ever,” he said. “Our GPU architecture is just superior. We dedicated an enormous amount of effort to advancing our GPU architecture. The engineering of Nvidia is exquisite. Our craftsmanship is unrivaled anywhere.” Nvidia has new chips coming out this summer that it hopes will cement its grip on the high-end PC gaming market.

He said the scale of Nvidia’s efforts in designing GPUs is the biggest in the world, because, “This is the one thing that we do.” Source.

So, is anybody still surprised why Geforce products keep getting more expensive?

it is true to some extent. Their support for big data and deep learning is unrivaled.
Pretty much is the only option if you want to run deep learning on GPUs, and further improved on Pascal with 16-bit compute.

AMD, while competitive to NV in gaming, is just not competitive in this rapidly growing market.

From my understanding, long as NV keeps the R&D from the top, it trickles down to gaming GPUs?

They don't even have to focus on gamers (aside some tweaks here and there)

JHH y u no luv me!?

1080 throttling ability and pricing is also unrivaled. Get ready for 1080Ti 105*C edition. Finally long awaited proper GTX480 heater replacement.

Alread got two on pre-order

I can't wait

You must have quick fingers I heard it sold out in 5 minutes.

When you get them, tell us how many minutes the boost clock lasts.

Perhaps your not well versed in the field of thermodynamics. Not only that but the GTX1080 has a TDP of 180W where as the GTX 480 is 250W.. (with actual power consumption being alot higher).

It would be wise to do your research before making statements like 1080 being a GTX480 heater replacement.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about. In the hardocp review, while the card did throttle, it still maintained boost clocks higher then the advertised boost clock. Then there will be the aftermarket cards with much better cooling and power dilevery.

I don't understand this craftsmanship claim. They are a completely fables manufacturer. We've also discovered that Founders Edition even with a $100 premium is likely inferior to aftermarket products designed by their board partners. Because it's being thermally throttled and it's power limited at the OC levels. AIB partners are largely the same across the industry, EVGA, Saphire and XFX are only exclusives, but they are all pretty similar.

I am also not impressed with the architecture. I dunno about HPC market, but he's clearly talking about the PC graphics. And while Maxwell was pretty impressive in perf. per watt, it is also not as forward looking as AMD. Pascal from what we've seen is a die shrink with some minor tweaks.

GCN is a more forward looking tech, not to mention AMD's HBM. And Nvidia is going to be slightly behind in the process as well 14nm vs 16nm.

So yeah I would really like to know what he's talking about, because I don't see it in the slightest.

I meant 1080Ti will be the new hot pan to fry our eggs on, not 1080. 1080Ti or whatever it's gonna be called will be top of the line GPU, just like 480 was (I'm talking 500-600mm2 die size).

Inside a case it throttles to base clock after 10 minutes. Tests are available at Tomshardware and Computerbase. 1080 Founders Edition when throttles, is barely faster than aftermarket 980Ti OC and much slower than Titan X 1500MHz 1440p as in pcgamershardware.com test. So you pay extra 100$ for FE that can't hold any boost clock, when custom models are comming next month.




You have come back to the thread to threadcrap more when told to stop.

I wish that I could afford to get a 1080 series card but alas I'm on a student budget and don't have the funds for such luxuries.

NVIDIA is a well run company that's managed to successfully carve out and dominate the niche of high performance graphics products for gaming, HPC, and workstation. I only wish I had not sold my shares in this company at less than half of what they are currently trading at

 

[Qwertilot]

I presume that the statement of being further ahead than at any other time in their history is factually true in terms of high end consumer GPUs?

As I understand things, those have traditionally been very competitive indeed vs AMD. Leapfrog every few months. Maybe there was some earlier era with huge differences.

Mostly though it looks like the 980ti already opened up an historically unusually lead vs its competition - not enormous but a real/significant one which it kept for the cards whole lifetime - and with AMD not having a response due to the 1080 for a fair chunk of time, that lead has of course only stretched.

It might well tighten up again of course, but finding any truth in marketing is a bit surprising

 

[poohbear]

And this is just Pascal, a shrink of Maxwell! Wait until the new architecture comes next year with Volta....

If VR takes off & if more car comapnies uses Tegra(not just Tesla), then their current valuation might actually be cheap! Nearly half their revenue are not from gaming anymore.

 

[Gunbuster]

Considering their competition in AMD is still struggling to push the next card out the door and that they have talking points like HDMI 2.X support it's no wonder.

That's what happens when your rival is still diddling around trying to get parity with your last card release. You get to set the prices...

 

[guskline]

It will be real interesting for the next few months to see the Nvidia sales figures for both the GTX 1080 and the GTX 1070.

Is there a lot of pent up $$$$ to upgrade? Especially since the GTX 970 seems to have been a sales success.

 

[crisium]

According to this post, only 30% of Nvidia costumers are on Maxwell. There's a lot of Kepler and even Fermi still out there. 1070 should be a significant upgrade to all of these customers if it slightly beats 980 Ti.

Yeah I might be skipping this series and going ALL IN 2016 on the next architect

 

[SinOfLiberty]

Lots of people are rocking Fermi!

Volta is the next big thing, not any other arch, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal. ha..

Pascal is what 20nm Maxwell should`ve been in the 1st place.

Volta 2018 The next Breakthrough!

 

[SelenaGomez]

It will be at least 2018 for Volta.

Jenny doesn't get enough credit.

[DigDog]

looks like AMD has decided to go the other way, cheap cards with lots of power/$. Can't blame them if they feel they can't compete, probably got used to that after being smacked so hard by Intel for 9 years.

 

[nerp]

RE: 1080 throttling. Recent reviews show that this is not the case, really. They OC just great. And the custom cooled cards are breaking through 2ghz with ease on air. So threadcrappers can crap themselves.

Not buying stock in nVidia was a big mistake. It has risen incredibly.
