When is the GTX 800 Series release date?

[mr91]

256 bit memory inferface supports 2 gb, 4gb & 8gb
Frame buffers.

I have played watch dogs for several days on almost max settings and with 1080 it uses 2.8g vram max, it never went over that on my gtx780.
so yeah if you plan on using 1440 or higher or use more than one monitor 3g's is not going to cut it for future gaming.
Me i am very happy at good ole 1080 single monitor.

Yes, the 780 ti right now is not really bottlenecked by it's VRAM in most titles. I used to run BF4 ultra on my 670 2gb and it would max out at about 1900mb I thought I was ok until I read that the game used about 2000-2400mb on ultra. That's why I was getting frame dips. I lowered texture quality to high and it was fine. I'm just saying if you were to buy a card right now with the hopes of playing games on mostly high some ultra for the next two years buying one with 3gb of VRAM is probably not the best option. Sure, enthusiasts upgrade every single year and that's fair enough, but for the purpose of longevity you're going to want a card that can max out texture quality. Texture quality, is often one of the biggest determinants of overall picture quality in a game. I think along with antialiasing, it makes the biggest noticeable difference during gameplay. I would lower settings like shadow quality and ambient occlusion before I touched antialiasing or texture quality in most games.

The reason I recommended the 770 4gb is because the x70 is almost always best bang for buck, a factory overclocked 770 is essentially a slightly less powerful 780. I can guarantee it will still run games on good settings possibly even until the 900 series comes around. At a price point of $400 dollars, you could buy another for SLI pretty easily and crush a 780ti or you could just buy a 870 or 970 for $400 dollars when they come out.

The stuttering while driving doesn't bother you?

Hopefully the patch will come out soon!

Mine is not stuttering while driving or anything? it is the same as if i were playing need for speed most wanted
very smooth but the driving is difficult until you get the feel for it.

What are you system specs?

Nothing over the top,
asus P8Z77-V LK MB
i5 3570K oc'ed to 4.3ghz
Evga gtx 780 FTW
16g RAM
CM V6 cooler
EVGA super nova G2 750w psu
WD 500G HDD

Like i said i have been playing the game (right now i am addicted to it and play 6 hours a day!)
but if i was experiencing the problems i see online i would not bother.
I know what it is like to play a game that stutters or crashes( BF4 and ghost were really bad at launch for me with crashes all the time)
so i hardly played those until the fixed them

 

[mr91]

What do you mean almost max - what are you settings?

This game is certainly playable with my setup @ 1440p with smaa however in my opinion the game needs a patch.

The only thing that is not set to its highest is MMAA. I am using temporal AA but everything else is at the highest setting

I already have a gtx 780Ti dual classified and have never had it set anything to anything but ultra.
I'm interested to know based on all of your opinions IF we"ll see the next gen cards by February 2015? I'm saving for my next build for The Witcher 3 and want thee very best of everything.

 

[mr91]

I think in February 2015 we will see a high end Maxwell chip however the witcher 3 will probably run well on your current rig.

Are you planning to get a Haswell E and 2x Maxwell chips in SLI?

I just bought one of these, and it will play witcher 3.
the 780ti is a beast of a card so only time will tell what evga/nvidia
has to offer next.
I personally got impatient and just bought their very best that is out now.

I also have the 780 ti, it's a great card.

Although we all love our 780tis one of the 7xx series is on the chopping block... well maybe not that extreme but 8xx series should be that little brother that gets stronger/faster than you, question is which card is next, I hope NVidia doesn't find some type of in-between 780ti/780 performance or 780/770 with better power consumption and continue to keep their current price structure. Seems like it takes something drastic like 290@$400 before NVidia changes their prices they never displace themselves.

If something comes out that really destroys the 780ti superclocked then i guess i will sell the ti and get whatever card it is.
there are only two things that will make me sell my 780ti,
1. if the newer 800 has more Vram and it is now essential to play games with more than 3gb of ram
2. the newer 800 is just too good to pass up! LOL

first saw that on wccftech. i just hope nvidia going back to $500 for the top single gpu flagship. for example $500 for GTX880 based on GM204. and when they come out with big maxwell a.k.a the true successor to GK110 they will name it as GTX980 (or even the Ti version) and price that monster at $500 and lower the price of GTX880. also i'm hoping they will increase the VRAM. 4GB as standard for midrange cards and 8GB for high end.

doesn't matter. the very point of this thread was to talk about 800 series rumor in the first place.

I take these rumors with a grain of salt like many others in this thread...

Renz496 has a point, I suggest you review the thread from the beginning.

Haswell-E is a waste unless you want to run DDR4 and have a slightly better energy efficiency. Just get an i7 4770k.

"AMD released R9 290 and Nvidia dropped the 780 price.Which was good.
Now it looks like AMD may be forcing Nvidia to drop prices on newer Nvidia products,I know its a rumor,but it may happen and competition is great for the consumer."

Seems like it could actually happen since Nvidia are price sluts as soon as AMD drop a card price they automatically jump the gun and lower there prices as seen with the regular 780. I hope so I might just end up getting a 780ti was hoping they were going for a Feb 2014 launch but since TSCM 'dun goofed' on the 20nm and need time to correct the problem.

Or get an i7-4790k.

well this is a bit early for a leak but with this some people might hold up buying new gpu
