If you buy a 770 in September you will have 90 days to step to the 880...


I believe that is their policy however you might be on a waiting list for the 880 even if it comes out in Nov or DEC.
I suggest you call EVGA to confirm.
 
I just caught this up on the web. Anybody care to explain the significance of what the article says? Because it sounds kinda negative to me.

what aspect did you find as negative? well at the very least the info are somewhat legit although what you're seeing on the shipping list is not final representation of final product that will go into retail.
 


I am not the adept at GPU architectures but from what I gather, Nvidia is going for good price/performance and power/performance ratios in this series. It seems as if the GTX 870 and GTX 880 won't challenge their previous series counterparts on technical specs but rather on efficiency. So, I feel like I should wait for the 900 series and skip this one and stay with the 4 gig 770 I got.
 


I don't know about the website.. but the information is accurate and it's an old information.. there were many such shipping transfers that happened.. and it's still happening..
 


it depends a lot on what happen right now and some of it was thing that nvidia did not have any control over. for example things about TSMC new process node. initially TSMC 20nm node was expected to enter mass production sometime in second half of last year but that didn't happen. even right now i heard rumors about yield is not that good yet and most of the capacity goes to big customer like Apple and Qualcomm. nvidia most likely predict that TSMC will not be able to come with 20nm within the expected time frame so they did their best to improve their power efficiency through changes in maxwell architecture instead of relying solely on die shrink process. so right now nvidia is pretty much limited to whatever tech that available to them. delaying their product just so they can have the right tech to build their GPU will be suicidal to the company. and the result we will see a new generation of product that does not really beat last gen product.

also there are matters about competition namely AMD. AMD used to be very aggressive when it comes to putting new hardware. the strategy was to get new series each year and if possible will use die shrink for each new generation (that's mean die shrink every year). but after HD7k series AMD starts slowing down in that regard. many expected AMD will come out with HD7k series successor in late 2012 or early 2013. but it did not happen until october 2013. even by then only the 290X and 290 was truly new card. everything else was pretty much direct rebrand of 7k series. the competition has slow down plus it really take AMD a long time before they have parts that can compete directly with nvidia GK110 so there is no reason for nvidia to go all out. most likely they will try to play it safe and try to maximize their profit first. so instead coming out with the big gun from the get go they will take their much slower product and price it with flagship price. then the big gun will come out on much later generation replacing the slower part as flagship.

 


Excellent answer mate! :)
 
I wouldn't be surprised if a 28 nm gtx 880 was released in September or October however if this happens I doubt it will be much faster than the 780 ti...

I still think we will have to wait until November or December...
 
The 880 will only be $50 more than the 870? If that's the case, then I'll be for it. But if that will not have the integrated ARM CPUs, leading to a CPU bottleneck, then I'll be stuck getting an 860 whenever a 4 GB version is released.
 


the rumor says 400-450 for GTX880. no mention about 870. but looking how nvidia priced their card i don't think they will let the second runner will only cost less for $50 than the flagship model. personally i'd expect 150-200 price difference between 880 and 870. 100 if nvidia being "generous".
 


The heck, if that 3DMark score is true, then 880 is actually meh :/

Makes sense, since it's still 28nm process and with downgraded bandwidth compared to 780s... It has slightly more shaders than 780Ti, but much less ROPs and TMUs, almost half the bandwidth, but more calculating power.

It's basically about 780Ti not that exciting IMO.
 


Stop using 3DBm as an ulitmate testing tool, games might run a hell of a lot better in game. :) 880 is supposed to be a beast. low bus means they have amped the cache to even it out. So it could be a face wreker even the 870 sounds pretty baller haha.

I might just upgrade from my 6970 > 880 or wait for their 8XX ti version.
 
The 880 appears to be a direct successor to the 680, which was a dream GPU for me. Now that I have the funds and the proper PSU for it, the only thing I'm worried about is CPU bottlenecking. Anyone heard if it will have the integrated ARM CPUs? Or will the latest GeForce drivers relieve most of the CPU bottlenecking? A 780 Ti will be bottlenecked by my aging CPU in Crysis 3 for sure.
 
In my opinion the 28nm Maxwell cards will not have integrated ARM CPU's...

" Looking forward to see the fully enabled 20nm flagship chips "

Your CPU will probably attain a lower min, max and avg fps in many games compared to a 4 core haswell however I think you will have a good gaming experience regardless.

The New drivers with direct X enhancements do help however I don't think they will make older cpu's have a even playing field with current cup's.

I'm sure you will not have a problem playing Crysis 3 unless you're using a 4k monitor and want to play with very high settings...
 


actually it's never really clear when nvidia mentions about there will be Denver core in Maxwell generation. we can only wait and see. also there are rumors in the past about GTX880 Enterprise Edition. they said it will be the one that going to have ARM core but it will not going to be sold as the same category as regular GTX880. so that's mean it will not for GeForce line up. either Quadro or Tesla or something totally new. and more importantly Denver shows up in their Tegra roadmap. so Denver could be very well only for tegra related stuff. and there is also project Boulder that some people never heard about.
 
That figures. So will an 870 work OK or will an 860 make more sense? The small price gap between the 870 and 880 irks me. $299 looks a bit too high for an 860 and I want a 4 GB card. The 880 looks like the best deal right now.
 


I agree it's not clear, I just stated my opinion...
 


Depends on the games you play and the resolution of your monitor...

I'm not sure how powerful the 860 or 870 will be, we just need to wait and see...

I would go with the 880 because I play demanding games and have a 1440p monitor but everybody has different needs...

The prices are just rumors, I doubt they are accurate...
My guess is there will be more than a 50 dollar premium for the 880.

I'm not taking these rumors seriously.

...
 


that's possible. nvidia can use the period where all new games to come out to launch their new GPU as a way to boost sales or promote their own GPU. we might even see new game bundle. i'd expect the new Assasin Creed Unity for october bundle and the new COD for November.
