The next big gpu trend

[Grooveriding]

The new Batman game is out on Tuesday. AMD will undoubtedly find the 390X equal to a GTX 960 in the game. Gameworks brouhaha ensues.

It will be just be removed from the PC to a new form factor. Dedicated cubes for GPU/VR tech.

The next big trend is rebranding / rebadging. Nvidia did it twice with Fermi and Kepler, AMD has done it at least twice (if not more) with it's current lineup. Nvidia will do it again with Maxwell before finfet cards come out.

Everyone's been rebadging sh*t for WAAAAY longer than that...

After power, heat, drivers, 3.5GB ramgate, game works, etc. What do you think is next...I think the HDMI 2.0 thing is overblown and 6GB minimum for 4k is bs.

If we keep on the same track with flat panels, mice, and touch screens - the dGPU will be dead in 10 years, maybe less.

There are other things that could happen. Maybe the question is more like, how will we interact with computers in 10 years?

It could look something like this. If it does, well, I don't think iGPUs will hack it. Could be that everyone has a Quad SLI in their living room :

And this is pretty close to being real :

hey you, stop that. only amd does this! /s

VR is going to change everything once the technology matures to it being truly polished. The headsets will get there well before the processing power does. It will replace the TV for a lot of people working in tandem with super fast internet and massive processing power. The price of the hardware will get pushed down from the market being so much bigger than it is for dgpus.

Facebook buying Oculus says to me they're seeing a day where you can put on your headset and be in Facebook with your friends from around the world interacting together.

Porn will likely be the #1 market though. Someone will come up with a body suit that takes care of business while you have the headset on. They'll make billions.

6GB minimum for 4K is not bs. Maybe for games right this second, but another year and GB will be reached @ 4K in all new games.

For me it's all about DX12 and better multi GPU support.

If DX12 makes it possible to eliminate the need for CF/SLI profiles, sharing of video memory, and stutter free multi GPU gaming through SFR combined with reduced overhead in the drivers, that will have a huge influence on how we put together the best gaming system.

HBM and liquid cooling all high-end GPUs.

So heat no longer matters, loudness isn't important, power draw is whatever and the only thing we care about is hdmi 2.0 and overclocking, oh how the goalposts have shifted.

You could just have said you wanted a predetermined result favouring a certain company. Rather than an actual discussion about what is the next big trend.

I don't think he cares if you like it or not by him just simply the truth of this forum :awe:

Yeah he's a a blocklist, on another note:

Have (the royal ) we seen any new trends this release cycle?
We have hdmi 2.0, overclocking, and maybe vr.

Explain what the point of this thread is, before I lock it and infract you for trolling.

the point of this thread is to discuss what the next major and or minor trends in the gpu space. I thought is was self explanatory, others have responded with what they think we will be talking about and so have I.

power, heat and noise are no longer trends, now we are worried about 200-400MHz overclocks and hdmi 2.0.

...and how exactly am I trolling? smh...

I thought the point of this thread was quite clear, actually, or should I say 'sadly'?

so why dont you add value to the thread vs thread crapping?

 

[Z15CAM]

2nd GEN AMD Figi with HBM - I'm patient LOL

 

[jpiniero]

Short term, higher prices. Yeah.

Medium term, multiple die gpus that are seen as one. Not sure how it would work exactly, but that's not my problem :awe: But I think it's going to be necessary to keep costs down since the Big Die GPU is going to have to go because it's simply going to be too expensive to do.

Long term, the question is how long it will be until Intel cuts off PCI Express from everything but server/high end workstation models. At that point, most of the sales will be fanless chips that also include the PCH, memory and disk. The corpse of AMD will be long gone from x86 by then, if not out of business. nVidia's best chance might be to make some sort of ARM solution happen but that won't be easy.

DX12 is the next big thing. Will be interesting to see how Nvidia/AMD perform once it's released and 3DMark and the like develop tests for it.

yeah, dx 12 is such a big thing, yet we haven't heard much from either camp. maybe MS has the detail under embargo until windows 10 gets released.

What's the first DX12 game to be released, the new Deus Ex?

No idea.

I think it'll be 'Ashes of the Sigularity', or at least it's on track to be;
