When is the GTX 800 Series release date?

[Tesla_Whizz]

Hey guys

I would appreciate if you guys can check my pc build. Give me some tips on whether my specs are good or if I can get any better ones. All I ask is a few minutes of your time. Any advice or critique is welcome
Here's the link.

Thanks

Thank you!

It must be a challenging to pack over 7 billion transistors into 16 or 10 nm piece of silicon lol

You're welcome, I think I know what you mean but just to be clear, the nm number refers to the gaps between the transistors and their 'firing ends' not the silicon's overall size.

lol Makes sense, I need to be careful not to confuse people with sloppy posts...

I was referring to improved density due to the process that allows companies to shrink the die.

Your explanation is more precise.

No worries mate, I thought that was what you might have been referring to but as I have actually spoken to folk who thought the GPU itself was 28nm I thought I'd better check. 😉

 

[mr91]

Upping the res scale in bf4 though makes the image quality so realistic. Although at 200% res scale its rendering the image more times than it does at 100%. Just makes it look so read. If I turn it back down too the normal 100% I stay over 144fps dunno how much past that cause I have my fps locked at 144fps.

Sounds good! What were your frame rates in bf4 with a single 780 ti classified @ 1080p with a 100 resolution scale?

 

[mr91]

so here it comes:

lol. Sounds like a fucking beast.

Too bad it's $3000! I was dreaming of building a system with a Micro ATX X99 Rog motherboard with an 8 core CPU overclocked & then putting in a Titan Z.



" I'm aware that the hardware mentioned didn't come out yet"

 

[Aphala]

You lads realize Titan Black and Titan Z preform better as APUs? 😛 It's an entire waste of money for 12GB of Vram when people (Bar 4K users) won't even touch 1/4 of it. Get two 780's or a Super clocked 780ti instead, save yer selves some DOSH! haha

 

[mr91]

I know the Titan series graphic cards are designed for the Pro-consumer and good for Scientific computing because of the Dual precision compute power that is enabled...

I would prefer to have the Titan Z over 2x 780 ti's

#1 because I want to build a small micro atx system

#2 I have a 1440p monitor and when SSAA or Resolution scaling in bf4 which I believe is the same, I exceed the 3gb memory buffer provided.

" Even Titanfall uses the entire 3 GB of Vram with 8x MSAA @ 1440p"

3# Nvidia Claims the scaling will be better and at $3000 I believe them lol

"apparently there is less latency when 2 gpu's are on one card vs SLI and I'm sure NVidia will use other engineering techniques to maximize performance"

4# Nvidia will probably cherry pick the gpu's with high ASIC's and deliver a premium product that will overclock well.

5# I don't have a separate circuit for my computer because my computer is located on the 3rd floor of my house so decreased power consumption vs. the sli option would be ideal for me.

I'm sure the Titan Z is a great card for a gamer however @ $3000 it's certainly not for everybody including me lol

I have a Asus 780 ti and it's a great card for 1440p and uses a fully enabled Kepler chip that provides a superb gaming experience on its own however 2 of them or a Titan Z would definitely be the icing and cherry on top of the cake lol

 

[JUICEhunter]

I heard the 20 nm gtx 880 might be delayed until late 2014, this makes sense because of the die shrink and complex architecture.
I also heard a rumour that AMD will start selling their next gen 20 nm cards in early 2015.

I believe the gtx 780 ti is a response to the 290x because Nvidia will always do what it can to keep the performance Lead.

I just upgraded from a gtx 780 to a 780 ti and in 1440p the TI blows the 780 out of the water...

Agreed, went from 780 to ti and love the difference. I had a 780 for about 2 weeks until I saw a sale on the ti and exchanged/upgraded. I have no idea if NVidia is going to replace their 760, 770 or 780 next but I don't think ti is next on the chopping block. I think they are going to announce in 3-6 months a 880 which will have 780ti like performance maybe a hair slower for a 780 like price and maybe a 870 that will give a 780 like performance for maybe $100 more than a 770 so they can keep their current 780/ti cards the same price.

One Sentence, R9 295X2 lol 1/2 price and pretty much the best card out there. But @ 1440p 780ti will do fine you would be wasting money if you were going to buy a titan.

BF4 @ 4K - 125fps...125!! @ 4K! that's pretty much ensured later gens can be just as powerful @ 1/2 of the price (I assume so).

Edit: I mean 2 R9 295X2's

780ti sli is sweeeeet for gaming

I don't think this would be a good option for a micro atx because of the size and the fan that needs to be mounted for the closed loop water cooling.

In my opinion the AMD card looks good however I would still prefer Titan black SLI or a Titan Z in my system.

I understand but you literally are wasting money on a workstation tier card when you could get an r9 290x or 780ti?

I guess if you can afford it, makes sense. 😀

that 295x2 doe.....I would much rather purchase that than a titan Z or titan black even.

I'm happy with my Asus 780 ti and probably will not be upgrading until Big Maxwell comes out however I appreciate the Titan Z.

I certainly don't need the Dual precision compute however the extra VRAM is needed for 1440p using extreme Anti Aliasing technologies such as SSAA.

I'm not planning on spending $3000 on a graphics card any time soon lol

I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia releases Non Titan Dual GPU card in the future under $2000 which would make more sense for Gamers...

 

[mr91]

I'm Glad that AMD is giving Nvidia competition with cards like 295x2 and in my opinion PC gaming has never been better!

AMD is doing a great job of keeping companies like Nvidia, Intel and Microsoft more innovative in the last decade.

Yeah, it's like the assume every PC gamer has £/$3000 almost every year to spend on a GPU!

I guess those born into wealth or have pretty good luck/jobs can.

ATI 6970 MASTER RACE! xD 4K, ALL DAY!

just get two 780Ti 6GB . EVGA will make one soon

 

[azzazel_99]

There is no 780ti 6gb only the 780 6gb.

 

[renz496]

So, back to the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 6GB video card models. These new cards will be available soon at a starting MSRP of $549.99. That is pretty amazing considering the GeForce GTX Titan was $999.99 and the base EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB card was available for $519.99. You are basically getting a GeForce GTX Titan without the enhanced double-precision performance for a fraction of the cost. It gets better though! EVGA has told Legit Reviews that a GTX 780 Ti 6GB card is in the works.

http://www.legitreviews.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-780-cards-going-6gb_138165

 

[mr91]

Looks like the Titan Z will be delayed!


http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gtx-titan-z-postponed-date/

 

[azzazel_99]

They just made the titan blaxk which would make a 6gb 780ti just about pointless. Hey if they do it cool I just dont see it happening.

 

[mr91]

It will probably be 200 or more dollars cheaper which makes sense to Me!

There will certainly be no point for a gamer to buy a Titan black if a 6gb ti model is released however who ever needs the Dual precision compute will buy the Titan.

 

[azzazel_99]

I just dont see where 6gb is gonna be needed. I mean even at 4k the 3gb 780ti was able to hold 30fps or more is several games. I guess if you are interested in getting in on the ground floor of 4k gaming go for it but I'd rather wait till 4k is mainstream and we have single gpu cards capable of hitting at least 60fps at 4k. Not to mention the price right now. We are stilk several years away from that. Maybe when nvidias 9xx series or whatever comes out we will be good to go.

 

[renz496]

personally i'm not interested with 4k. high res is nice but what about texture? still remember that Mass Effect 3 texture look ugly even on my 1600x900 monitor 😛

 

[azzazel_99]

At 1920x1080 it didnt look too bad.

You have a 1080p monitor and that's why your 780 ti sli set up is perfect because even if you increase your resolution scaling to 200% in battlefield 4 you will not use all of your VRAM however if I was to set my scaling to 200% I would run out of vram and everything would be slow motion on my single 780 ti.

If I had 2 Titan blacks, I would be able to enable 200 resolution scaling because I wouldn't run out of VRAM.

Lack of Vram limits performance for some games, Titanfall uses all my VRAM when I play it @ 1440p with 8x msaa.
I wouldn't be able to max it out at 4k unless I had 2x Titan black because of the Lack of Vram.

Even if I had 6 gb of Vram 200 resolution scaling at 1440p would probably give me 30 fps or less however with sli the game would play a lot better because of the extra horse power of the 2 cards.

Do you see the logic now? " 6 gb of Vram is worth it for sli configurations driving a 1440p monitor or higher"


I suggest you try using a PLS based 1440p monitor the games look great!
