NVIDIA Pascal Thread

[Actaeon]

I had no idea that taking screenshots of games is a thing.

 

[Mopetar]

Looks like we have to sit through the first two "news" before he gets to the "new king"...

Yeah, but at least JHH has better presentation skills so it isn't so painful to watch.

It's kind of weird because some of his mannerisms and the way he's presenting reminds me of an Apple keynote with Jobs. Maybe it's just because I'm really tired right now, but it's kind of funny.

The 3d screenshots will be nice for the press, not sure home users will care much. I think streaming will continue to be the method people choose to share their experience.

"For those who love in-game photography... "

I didn't realize that was a thing. Do people have entire albums of screenshots of their in-game activity and re-live it like they are on holidays?

 

[DarkKnightDude]

Ansel looks cool, but I wonder how devs would feel being able to see things they don't want you to see.

GF does graphics art and she enjoys doing custom avatars, etc for various projects/websites. She is excited about Ansel.

GPU accelerated audio...

"Enormous computations required"..

More crap to tank your FPS on when you need all the FPS you can get.

 

[frowertr]

Yeah, I had a Turtle Beach sound card back in the 90s that utilized A3D. Really wasn't all that...

It's probably not something I'd personally use much, but I still think it's kind of cool. Either way it's free.

Ok suuure Jen, The Division looks so groundbreaking.. Sigh. Kind of kills me when I hear the leader of the dominant GPU company gush over a sub par looking game.

Editmg what is with the nvidia employees in the crowd? I cringe kinda easily but wow, their comments.

 

[Termie]

The GTX 1080 has been announced!

Yeah I have zero use, but she got instantly excited. /shrug

10GHz GDDR5X...

 

[Head1985]

320GB/s

Eh, they needed to show something to pad out the length of the event. It could have been a lot worse.

At least they're getting to the good stuff now.

I can see the XXX companies using this...

I was wondering how nVidia was going to spin the lack of performance gain vs aftermarket 980 Ti...

 

[Cookie Monster]

Love how nVIDIA has focused on efficiency on their voltage regulation modules. Would effectively reduce overall power consumption and heat being dissipated from the VRM section. Looks like they've cleaned up the output voltage ripple by quite abit!

Excellent stuff.

Well the 980 is the fastest GPU ever didn't you know?

(was correct at time of posting during the stream)

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080/1070 Announcement

'Most power efficient architecture we've ever built'
'16nm FinFET, GDDR5X 10 GHz'
'All games were running north of 60 FPS on a Geforce GTX 1080'
'Faster than Geforce GTX 980 SLI'
'(Considerably) faster than a Geforce Titan X'
'Irresponsible amounts of performance'

You can improve perf/w a lot with a good PCB, VRM/Mosfets etc. Custom Fury boards from Asus for example, vastly more efficient compared to others.

It's good that NV is focused on a great reference card. Premium design and price needs premium components.

Of course but thats AIBs doing their due diligence. This is from a reference model which rarely happens these days.

 

[Saylick]

Hm... Looks like 1080 is about 25% faster than a Titan X...

 

[antihelten]

looks like a 1080 is at 4.4 relative to the 3.6 of the Titan X (based on the slide just shown)

So that would be 22% faster. 25% faster than 980 Ti.

Slide in question:

 

[tviceman]

Just as I said predicted today (or maybe yesterday), power use is a little bit higher than GM204. More like GK104 at ~ 180 watts. Still the same power envelope, so no big deal.
