[QUOTE=proch;47119978]You could make tea with that[/QUOTE] Well according to nvidia they're safe up to 90C, so Also makes a nice space heater and I'm almost always cold, it's a win-win scenario really
Wonder if it's about the new Quadro M6000, I saw it [url=http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html]appear at the top of passmark[/url] past the 980 a while ago, but saw very little info on it
They've been working on VR stuff for quite a while, like VR SLI framework for rendering each eye on a separate GPU with no desync, etc. But I doubt it's an HMD of their own, perhaps it's a special GPU that's specifically designed to run VR games or something.

[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;47120020]Doubt it, the article talks about gaming, and the Quadro series aren't really made with gamers in mind[/QUOTE] Fair enough, hadn't seen one before, didn't know they were in a similar boat to the Tesla.
i cant complain im running a nvidia card plus intel integrated card. my rig performs nicely
[QUOTE=Nak;47119668]I don't know who to trust anymore. Had an ATI/AMD before .. the software made the PC boot up 30 seconds after I shut it off. Switched to a 970 STRIX a week ago: Coil whining, screen flickering, game crashes. Sometimes it refuses to turn on the fans, even after it reached 53 degrees.[/QUOTE] Coil whine is the GFX's switchmode power supply operating at a frequency/duty cycle that makes less well made coils resonate. I have a old HD4870x2 that only emits coil whine while playing GTA 4 and EFLC.
Proper Drivers for their cards?
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;47118584]Yet another peripheral no one will buy?[/QUOTE] [I]"Now available for all it's the new and latest Nvidia certified Razor laptop!! At an affordable start price of $1500. This truely will change the future as we know it"[/I] - Noone ever,
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;47118584]Yet another peripheral no one will buy?[/QUOTE] Hey, I bought the shield tablet, only once I used game stream, but it requires their shitty controller, but it was the tablet I ever bought.
[QUOTE=Robber;47118892]Unified memory for PC?[/QUOTE] This actually is in nVidia's roadmap for the Pascal line (GeForce 1xxx). [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_1000_series[/URL] If they really are revealing this that would be a case of "redefine the future of gaming".

[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;47120909]Holy shit, unified memory and a 80GBps direct link between the CPU and GPU, that really is something to get hyped about[/QUOTE] I am however worried it might not be as amazing as it could be, since the wiki article does imply the unified memory relies on programs being able to understand this. Not to mention apparently NVLink replaces PCIex16 from what little info the article gives.

For proper exploitation then perhaps it would be viable to do rendering in ways previously too slow, but you would certainly get a big speedup without it.
