When is the GTX 800 Series release date?

[azzazel_99]

Naw i prefer 1080p at 144hz over 1440p or 1600p. For games like bf4 the 144hz comes in alot more handy than 1440 or 1600p ever would when playing online. Now if i was playing at a slower pace or something like single player sure the higher res would be nice but for fast paced mp the 144hz is much better IMO.

so official clock is around 700mhz with official boost around 870mhz (which is the biggest guaranteed boost among kepler cards so far) but if the situation allows it the card capable to boosting up to 1000mhz+?

Based on this information this card should outperform the 295x2 across the board...

GTx Titan Z supprots 2 SLi right ?

the card itself already in 2 way SLI configuration. for SLI Titan Z should be able to support another Titan Z making it into 4 way SLI config (which is max for SLI).

http://videocardz.com/50448/nvidia-geforce-gtx-880-feature-8gb-gddr5-memory

so standard config will be 8GB? and then board partner might want to come up with 16GB version for "more is better" version of the card

No No No No No No it only get 5ish frames more at the most. The titan is only 9ish frames more on average in games all the games tested where triple A title games no not 20% faster... maybe 10% faster tho

GM204..3200 CUDA cores.. 8GB GDDR5.. Wonder what its power consumption is??
Only downside is 256 bit memory. Should have been 512 bit up from 384 bit of the 700 series.

with more push on 4k recently it is expected for GPU vendor to add more VRAM on reference design. with Titan Z (6GB per GPU) nvidia already talking about 5k res. by the time this new GPU arrive they will be talking about 8k or a single card running triple 4k monitor in surround/eyefinity setup

while having wider memory interface sounds nice using such configuration will increase the PCB cost. honestly i'm wondering why people really care about having wider memory interface since it only one aspect that determine total bandwidth. in most cases i see nvidia are using much faster memory to compensate the lack of wider memory interface. is there something that i miss that can only be done by having wider memory interface regardless how much total bandwidth is available to a card?

Having a wider interface means you dont have to run the vram at as fast speeds to achieve the same bandwidth, which in turn will reduce power consumption.

384 bit for the 880 apparently which is an instant disappointment.

But I am torn between 780ti 3gb @ 1440/4K or wait for 880 @384bit 8GB (If that appears to be the case)

Possibly?

Funtional, for FUN AND FUNCTIONAL!

 

[Jammy Duel]

It's an engineering sample, so the actual card probably won't have that much, I expect will be 4.

As for the 780Ti 6GB edition, I somehow doubt that's going to happen given that's basically what the titan black is.

Why is 384 bit memory bus a disappointment? Considering this 880 is likely to be the top end chip of "small" maxwell, I would say this is pretty good. Will out perform the 780 Ti I bet 😉

I guess but you don't really expect an 880 to have a lower bus it would be wiser to do that on 870 or 860 😛 Any who I am unsure, should I just buy a 780ti? OR wait? Currently using 6970 2Gb and it barely farts out 60 on High and I am a stickler for Ultra settings hehe.

Just bear in mind that "big" maxwell will be later released, the maxwell equivelent of the gk110 (780/780ti/titan etc).

Remember when the 680 came out with its 256bit bus. Didnt matter, still performed great, even though the preceding 580 had a 384bit bus. And then later down the line the big kepler chips came out...

I never really used Nvdia at that point, I was all rage for AMD. But I guess it's a matter of time, I will get a 780ti and wait until GPU's say 900/1000[or what ever they change it too] series to run 4K @ 60fps ultra haha. Still surprised that the 295X2 can run most games @ 50fps - 60fps.

i'm talking more about performance side of things. often we see people look at the memory interface alone. they always saying cards with wider memory interface will be better without seeing other spec. like saying 290X will be better than 780 Ti since it has 512 bit vs 384 on the 780 Ti. and in some case even if the card have more total bandwidth but because the other card have wider memory interface but with a bit less of total bandwidth people still saying the latter is better due to wider memory interface. i want to know is it really true that having wider memory interface is more important that the total bandwidth available to a card

Total memory bandwidth is the most important (with regards to memory performance on graphics cards). It makes no difference if you get it using a wide bus with slower vram, or narrower bus with fast vram.

It certainly doesnt tell the whole story with the cards performance either. Very high memory bandwidth is pointless if the GPU isnt fast enough to take advantage.

still none new 8-series on market?? 🙁 will it be this year at all??

It has been delayed until 2015 circa June I think due to manufacturing issues with TSMC being unable to make industry standard 20NM wafer. I would just get a high end 780/780ti/Titan/R9290X and sell it when the 880/9XX arrives or wait until they make a 880ti circa November/December or 2016

Funny thing is this is a quote from TSCM's site.

"TSMC's 20nm process technology can provide 30 percent higher speeds" [Added S at the end since they have poor Taiwanese > English translations] Considering Nvidia and AMD claim 10% > 15% faster GPU's. Either they will save the 30% boost for Ti or Second Gen Titans

and do you have some official statement for this??

high end is out of my budget and worthless for 6core AMD@4.5GHz,
my current 560Ti's warranty will be over in some june-july so Ill buy some lovely 760-770. Any recommendations which brand and version?? will overclock it so need cooler with VRM and memory heatsinks

I really like the power savings of the maxwell, but really, we are just gonna get higher performance gpus for more money i think.

 

[JUICEhunter]

Can't wait for the next GPU! If it's true that NVidia releases a 4gig 256 bit bus GPU with more cuda cores than 780ti it will have a similar +/- benchmarks to 780ti like 750ti/650ti boost does (I believe 650ti boost overall does benchmark better) NVidia can continue to can brag about performance per watt.
