[VideoCardz] NVIDIA to preview 20nm high-end Maxwell tomorrow

So, anything worthwhile to video cards, graphics, and games?

Sofar only that Maxwell is the first native DX12 GPU.

doesn't the market already have 40% of the video that support DX12? when I heard that from MS, I think they meant native support.

 

[PPB]

Because you can fit more GPU's into a single case. This is for people spending money on serious Gflops.

Not when the premium is worth as much as making an entire platform to handle the extra PCI-E needed for 2xTitan instead of each Titan Z.

When they say that Fermi/Kepler and GCN support DX12 I'm sure they are talking more about the reduced driver overhead, and better multithreading aspects. It's going to take a native dx12 GPU to use any GPU specific features that are introduced.

The number of GPUs you can fit in a case with every PCIe slot full just doubled. There's a niche of users who will take every GFLOP you can fit into a workstation.

I wouldn't be thinking in terms of your average gaming motherboard here. The other PC parts you would pair these up with are going to be far more costly than normal desktop parts, which is why it's important and even cost effective to double up your GPUs per PCIE slot.

This, and Nvidia haven't mention that you can put 4 Titan Z together to get 8 way SLI (if that is even possible) so it will be better and cheaper to get a platform with 4 PCI-E slot and put in 4 Titan Blacks.

Even if I need the compute power for a business, I would still like to save money and spend it elsewhere, like a 4K monitor for 3500 from Dell that will eat up the 4 Titan Blacks.

This is GTC, nobody is thinking about SLI... they're thinking 8 CUDA nodes in a workstation.

It is advertised as gaming card aswell

So if you want to build the ultimate ultra-high definition gaming rig that can harness the power of quad GPUs working in tandem, TITAN Z is the perfect graphics card.

Free Shields for everyone! (at the GTC presentation)

 

[NTMBK]

lol, free Shields. Better than burying them in the Nevada desert I guess.

 

[OCGuy]

New slide confirmed Maxwell DX12 2014, no further info...

 

[Face2Face]

No Maxwell info......

Okay, wow, yeah, that just makes no sense. Buy 4 780s, and a holiday with the leftover money...

 

[OCGuy]

Poor Volta

 

[PPB]

Dont take me wrong, if the Titan Z would have been 2250 to 2500 I can agree with the perf/space proposition, it is actually legit in the world of supercomputing. But the pricing and the branding of the product makes it totally senseless in the end.

You could probably get four of EVGA's upcoming 780ti 6GB for one of those if you want something for gaming.

I really do hope we get a GM200 before the Witcher 3, nothing good to upgrade from a 7950 for the foreseeable future that'll do 60FPS & 2560x1440 for non-compromised next gen games.

Ha,this.

right, but good luck fitting more than one 780Ti into an ITX system (or more tan 2 into an mATX)

these certainly aren't practical...not that 4 x 780Tis are practical either...

Free... Pay $900 to attend the conference to receive a "free" gift :whiste:

 

[Mondozei]

A $150 Pascal will beat it.

...in 2 years' time.

Won't have to wait that long. A GTX 880 will beat it. Not for 150 dollars, for sure, but certainly below 1000.

It isn't being sold for gaming. For compute, 2x within PCIE spec?

Except that they mention gaming as one of the primary uses for it in their blog.

From their own blog:

So if you want to build the ultimate ultra-high definition gaming rig that can harness the power of quad GPUs working in tandem, TITAN Z is the perfect graphics card.

and

TITAN Z is engineered for next-generation 5K and multi-monitor gaming.

In short: Titan Z is a super bad deal. I bet a lot of idiots will be smoked on it, just like these same people were on Titan 1, before they got humiliated a few months later as GTX 780 came out.

On 28nm? Not a chance...

Unified virtual memory seems to have slipped from Maxwell to Pascal (which is now the new name for Volta)

No 20nm product preview was disappointing.
