NVIDIA teases GeForce 1000 series with “Order of 10” campaign - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Da Big Man;50250662]Gonna wait and see what AMD has to offer before even thinking about going NVIDIA again. If the leaked Polaris benchmarks are anything to go by, their 480 (non-x) almost surpasses 390x performance at <130 watts and their drivers don't brick your card or crash like NVIDIA's.[/QUOTE] Yeah because AMD hasn't had driver issues before. Both companies have their issues like when AMD released software that totally destroyed people's cards.

Nah. AMD is still the HAHA KIDDING king, though nVidia has had two high profile fuckups in the last five years.

[QUOTE=nikomo;50248281]Order of 10 more shitware. Order of 10 more lag. Order of 10 more power consumption.[/QUOTE] Shitware? Ever heard of something called Shadowplay? Something that's among the best pieces of software for capturing game footage?

At the moment to me AMD cards seem to provide more value (slightly cheaper for same performance), more longevity (7970 on par with GTX 970 in some dx12 titles) and better drivers (over the last 6 months nVidia had two major driver fuckups while AMD drivers increased in quality exponentially and are starting to have day one versions for new game releases). Only reason to get an nVidia card right now is if you need ShadowPlay.

[QUOTE=simkas;50257027]Shitware? Ever heard of something called Shadowplay? Something that's among the best pieces of software for capturing game footage?[/QUOTE] Geforce experience is shitware though. Shadow play is godlike and I'll admit that.

Can someone explain all of these new model numbers to me? I'm still running with an 8800... something. I can't even remember anymore.

Value at mid and high range? Yes. Value at flagship? Lol, no, the Duo is the literal definition of overpriced, you can literally buy two 90s and get them for 70% of the cost of a duo and have the same performance. Longevity? Not even kinda, especially in hardware quality. You're talking about eking through asynchronous dx12 benchmarks at midrange performance, which honestly doesn't matter until 12 has market saturation. (If you're buying ubisoft dx12 titles, well you apparently already have problems with spending money wisely already) Power and heat? yes. Drivers? No. While nVidia has borked custom clock cards twice now, that is also a case of users not reclocking their cards back to stock when installing new drivers, which is absolutely a case of RTFM, and also AMD did the same thing about a year ago, no one wins that race. (Did I mention RTFM, cause seriously RTFM) Crimson and Gexperience are both intrusive, bloated, and dumb, so no winners there. nVidia has 82% of the desktop market sewn up for a reason, and that reason is build quality and stable performance over length of time.

I also still have a x1950 pro which is as old as my grandma, still works fine. the reason nvidia has the majority of the market is because of better marketing itself.

Nah. While that certainly is part of the reason, the main reason is build quality and generally stable driver throughput. If it was pure marketing AMD would be in the driver's seat because they're always the first in with new platforms and new APIs, invariably.

Fairly certain you're only going to see hbm2 on the titan, and the titan is gonna be last this go round I would guess due to heavy HPC buy in on GP100; in fact I'd hazard that titan will simply be a gp100 with half the memory.

[QUOTE=Cmx;50248218]I got you an 8800gt, its better because it has a higher number right?[/QUOTE] you joke but i remember when i got my 8800 gts. what a fuckin beast of a card

I don't really see it.

[QUOTE=Satane;50257017]so did nvidia from what i've read nvidia was more shit with drivers in the past few years.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, unless this has been fixed, [URL="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-why-directx-12-is-a-gamechanger"]AMD has more issues with performance[/URL]

Damn, I was just about to buy a GTX 980 Ti, should I just wait for this to come out or is there not going to be a significant price drop when it does?

[QUOTE=Starship;50248259]It's called 1080, so it's only 1080p obviously. Jeeeez.[/QUOTE] Until 4k can go up to 120hz or 140hz it's a waste of money stay with 1080p for now.

[QUOTE=Exparagus;50260533]Damn, I was just about to buy a GTX 980 Ti, should I just wait for this to come out or is there not going to be a significant price drop when it does?[/QUOTE] Might wanna wait for three more months.

i got a gtx 560 since like 2012 and just now i'm starting to see its need for replacement

cant wait for the 900 series to drop price a bit so I can get a second 980

[QUOTE=redBadger;50262896]cant wait for the 900 series to drop price a bit so I can get a second 980[/QUOTE] SLI is a pain in the ass and support is limited, it's way better to just sell your existing 980 for a Ti.

I was actually hoping for GeForce to be rebranded once they hit this point. On the bright side, 900 series will drop in price a bit, though now to question do I stay a generation behind or go for the top of the line model. I have a 780 so I guess I can live for a while longer.

[QUOTE=redBadger;50262896]cant wait for the 900 series to drop price a bit so I can get a second 980[/QUOTE] I got a second 980 a while ago because I thought SLI would be worth it. I don't think I'll do SLI ever again. It's been a pain to deal with, especially with VR. The raw performance is awesome when a game takes full advantage of it, like BF4. I'm counting down till I can buy a 1080 (or 1080ti if it becomes a thing). I'll stick to buying one really good card in the future.

[QUOTE=Levelog;50262833]Not for gaming performance. Passmark is shit for determining that.[/QUOTE] No it's not. The software the use for Passmark is shit and ends up with stuff like the the GTX 960 being better the 380X.
