I'm happy with my 980's. I got months of having the latest and greatest and devouring titles maxed out.

"Confirmed" speculation from a website which doesn't allow you to even get through the title without finding the first grammatical error.

The one thing that I have seen relatively steady about the rumors is 980ti will be 6gb, and the 390x will be 8gb. If this is true then the 390x might have an advantage at higher resolutions than a 980ti.

If this is true then the 390x might have an advantage at higher resolutions than a 980ti. It was claimed that 390X has 295x2's performance, which even against Titan-X's 12GB, had an advantage mainly at 4K whereas nVidia has the advantage at 1440p. So whichever wins will be based on what resolution you plan to use, oh and which games you have. GPU-bound tends to favor AMD.

I have only seen that rumor once, every other time I see it, it is linked back to that one articlw.

I'm really hoping the 980 ti comes out at a reasonable price point. Now that I have a 1440p monitor, I definitely feel the need to upgrade (especially with Batman and the Witcher 3 coming out soon).
Everything I have been reading has been a debate on whether the 980 ti will be a full GM200 with 6gb VRAM or a cut down GM200. I remember hearing a rumor about a gtx 980 metal. If I had to guess, I could see the 980 ti being the full GM200 with 6gb VRAM and the 980 metal being the cut down GM200 chip.

I think the 980ti will be 28nm and the pascal will be 16nm.

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/199101-amd-nvidia-both-skipping-20nm-gpus-as-tsmc-plans-massive-16b-fab-investment-report-says Soooo is Nvidia skipping a Maxwell refresh? I know this link is not rock solid info... but I am highly debating on waiting up until the end of this summer on what gpu should I upgrade to  I have a 780 ti oc to 1300 MHZ core and 7.8GHZ on memory but the problem is that with my new XB280HK 4K GSYNC.... my 780 ti says no.... to a lot of game I throw at it, gpu usage is maxed out and vram is maxing out and now games are using my system ram since I am running out of Vram... If I was still at 1080p then this card would still be perfect for it... what should I do.... sell my 780ti on Ebay for 350, and then get a Titan X for 700$ or wait for a new die size.... cuz 28NM runs HOT ON THE TITAN X p.s. the Titan X might run fine for today's games.... but man when new games come out I have a feeling the Titan x will be brought to its knees for 4k...

The 980ti should be a nice addition, you will get Titan X gaming performance for a few hundred less, mostly due to not wasting money on memory that does nothing for games.

http://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/37858-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-further-detailed The latest leak says it's 6GB. Although that same source claims to have scored 14K in Firestrike Extreme with one, which sounds a little too much like a 'tall tale' to me. Would be nice if it really IS that much of a beast, though. :D If it really does pack that much power, I might have to move up my upgrade schedule a generation. *edit: I just realized they conveniently overlayed the detail of the screenshot so you can't tell which version of Firestrike they were running.... I guess 14K could be plausible if it's Firestrike Performance, not Extreme. (who runs Firestrike "Performance" though? LOL)

Already established that it's a Titan X with fewer CUDA cores and half the VRAM.

They're actually selling abnormally well but there's typically a price/performance rift between the /80's and Titans.

Not of a difference for me anyways. But I don't normally buy first run hardware, I usually don't buy anything younger than 6-12months olds tech. Just the way I am, I'm sure I'm not the only one like this, haha!

If you are running a intense game at 4k, your computer will push more than 4gb of vram at any given point. It doesnt matter how fast it is as you will have a backlog of vram use all the time.

I don't know about that, mainly when looking at Intel IGP performance with eDRAM cache. The cache is 128MB with triple the bandwidth of system RAM, while the version of Iri Pro w/o eDRAM shares 1.7GB of system RAM and only runs at that bandwidth. Yet the IGP + eDRAM manages a 70% higher 3Dmark11 score (HD5200 at 1940 vs HD5100 at 1151). Unless the amount of Vram needed for rendering the 3Dmark11 preset wasn't that big to begin with, having much more bandwidth seemed to make up for having so little Vram to go around. We'll soon see with Fury which is more important, 4GB or 640GB/s.

Hello lehpron, since your here. What are you thoughts on 20nm GPU fab? I've heard AMD and Nvidia scrapped it and rather fully invest into 14/16nm pascal. So having said that, do you think we will see a real Maxwell refresh?

maybe not all games, but somr like SC where if you have 600 players in combat and since it renders all of that in incredible detail was said to reach 8gb+ as it was necessary to split them into instances until technology caught up. The amount of details and pixela needing to be pushed even if everything was static pushed vram usage to the sky.though you are right we will see if speed vs mass is needed.

Hello lehpron, since your here. What are you thoughts on 20nm GPU fab? I've heard AMD and Nvidia scrapped it and rather fully invest into 14/16nm pascal. So having said that, do you think we will see a real Maxwell refresh? Sure, maybe not on the high-end, but I see rebrands using 28nm GPUs with Pascal branding (provided they don't maintain the GTX-num sequence). But the we don't know other than HBM what sets Pascal apart from Maxwell; similar to Intel, Pascal could just be the codename of a shrunk Maxwell. How would we know the difference if they added more CUDA cores and changed the specs on the next flagship? I'm beginning to have suspicions that Intel changed Skylake such that some of them are just rebranded Broadwell parts, and that Broadwell-E is canceled but Skylake-E will have X99 support. But that is off-topic. As for 20nm, I think it is all but gone on the GPU side of things. Even for AMD, I read that GlobalFoundries effectively threw their ARM/x86 hybrid plans under a bus by being exclusive to another. Oddly enough, it allowed AMD to bring 14nm Zen from the original plan of Q3 2016, forward, but we don't know when. 20nm Skybridge was supposed to debut this coming winter. Their 14nm Arctic Islands seems to be on schedule into early 2016, I'm guessing after Pascal debuts.

Back around 2003 I think it was .. Nvidia had the 4600Ti with 64Mb and 128Mb as I had the 64Mb card which had much fast ram on board (rated by A measure of time equal to one billionth of a second 1.0 nanoseconds to 1.3nanoseconds )and in most cases was faster or could match the 128Mb card in fps.. back then we played MOHAA on 32 player servers .. this is kind of what HBM vs GDDR5 is going to look like but maybe HBM will even be faster because of them using the tech for VR work would give clues of just how fast it really is.. ..

Still a 250w GPU?
Its not really a big deal, our power supplies can more than handle it. My 2008 ABS psu runs three R9 cards at 225-250w with zero issues. After market coolers keep any card cool now. The EVGA APX will keep this card nice and cool. I think 200+ watt cards might become normal on the high end side.
