Watching twitch chat during the stream was funny. They were hyping up that a new generation GPU was needed to do all the things they were talking about and everyone was hoping for a pascal announcement. The anger when it turned out to be this card was hilarious.
Well, its good to see that they are using HBM as well. Perhaps we will see a shrink in the size of the newer cards. Im glad they just spoke half the article how this is going to be for computing/professional graphics instead of gaming. Didn't really speak anything interesting til the end of the article on specs.
hm so does this mean we aren't getting a new line of nvidia gaming gpus this summer as most people expected? thats a shame, i need to upgrade but i really don't see the point if theres a new series about to come out. thats what i did last time and ended up getting shafted because of it in a matter of months

I don't know if it's just me waiting and paying attention, but it feels like this has been an incredibly elongated refresh cycle for gpus.

I got an i7-4770k and an Nvidia GTX-780, and back in 2013 I did plan to skip intel Broadwell and Nvidia GTX-800 Series and go straight to Skylake and the GTX-900 Series. Turned out that both Broadwell and Nvidia GTX-800 series aimed heavily towards Laptops/Mobile Devices, completely ignoring desktop's. So after another year, Skylake came out with minimal improvements, and the Nvidia GTX-900 Series with decent improvements. Judging that the improvements are barely worth it, I also skipped that one, waiting another ~1.5 years. And here I am now, Waiting for Q1 2017 for Intel Kaby Lake Processors and for the Nvidia GTX-1080 Series (Waiting for the 1080 TI if possible). Money is barely an issue, but I have waited for so long now that I might as well wait another year. It's also not like the current generation offers a giant leap of performance improvements over what I currently have, and I also plan on hopping onto the VR Train in Late 2016 / 2017 when VR has been released to the masses for a while and more informations and opinions are available.

"This card" is what the titan is going to be, so complaining about it is pretty dumb. [quote] HBM [/quote] Is only for the titan, the 1080 will be ddr5x, the 70 will be ddr5 to keep costs equivalent. Pretty much another nonarticle courtesy of pcgn. The consumer version won't be til Computex, and you probably aren't to hear much more than that considering HPC is primary vendor target right now.

Once the "1080" comes out i'll go for it but it doesn't seem like Pascal is going to be it unfortunately.

Doesn't the article say new GPU's are expected to release this summer?

Given the insurance call back on the consumer sample is about 1200 bucks US, I'm fairly certain the Titan will be simply have less memory (16) with likely all modules intact and unbinned, otherwise AMD is going to murder the shit out of them in dx12 benchmarks and applications, otherwise it would be a lot less expensive.
So you think it'll have the features that were stripped out of the Titan X?
It would be far more expensive to retape/sub-solder than to simply ship as is with less memory. I think you'll get FP parity equal to P100, possibly with less modules, depending on yields. Yields are probably the deciding factor.
Honestly the 980ti will be around for a long ass time since it's already 4k focused and is top tier atm.
The 980 is 4K capable, not focused, and by capable I mean unmodded Skyrim or Dragon's Dogma or Dawn of War II. Single card 4K at 60fps with everything maxed on a current title is not a thing, much less 144fps.
I've been debating buying the 980 Ti and [url=http://www.ebuyer.com/727526-acer-predator-xb321hk-32-4k-ips-monitor-um-jx1ee-001?gclid=CIero__V_MsCFRATGwodoJMA8w#fo_c=951&fo_k=8e53b605ff34e8790b91e1b7589147d7&fo_s=gplauk?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482416139&pkw=&pmt=[/url]this 4K, IPS, G-Sync, 32"[/url] monitor but I'm concerned that maybe I should wait a year first and see what comes out?

It happened with the 700 series being a meh improvement, but then the 900 series was a massive leap in efficiency.

You're not going to see much of a change in monitors, but the new set of cards are going to be huge paradigm shift upward. Instead of the 10-15% increase we've been getting, this will be around 50-75% in most cases.
