ch****e saale.

 

I wonder what next?

 

I hope AMD got something special as HD 5*** series

So if I understood it correctly, Nvidia will be shipping Founder Edition card ($699) for the first few months? after that they will ship normal one's ($599)?

Yeah! The current launch is of only these Founder's Edition cards.

 

OEM's and AIB partner cards are expected to show up at Computex but availability in India is sketchy till August-September.

Nice

[SRINI87]

NO HBM2?

^^ A couple of posts above you have posted a link saying "A GTX 1060 will rock a 256 bit bus" and the image above says its 192 bit..So who is right..

[SRINI87]

Just a rumor...

One of them is right

i am leaning more towards 192 Bit - 6GB

[ALPHA17]

NO HBM2?

 

No.

Not enough bandwidth on that for 6GB of V-RAM. Heck it is not enough for 4GB.

[SRINI87]

 

No.

960 was also low on bandwidth

 

anyways

 

[ALPHA17]

960 was also low on bandwidth

 

Yes, that is why the 4GB version of the card registers barely any performance gains over the 2GB version.

[mohit9206]

So if a card has high vram but low bandwidth it cannot utilize all the vram enough though technically its powerful enough to do so?

This article stuies the importance of memory bandwidth in more detail.

 

 

If we treated these bandwidth figures as a reference (which you most certainly should not), we could then assume that the GTX 960’s 128bit wide memory interface simply does not provide enough bandwidth to play AAA titles at Very High (or High where not available) and Ultra Presets on 1080p. If we went by average figures, it would get by OK, but struggle at peak loads. In terms of Independent titles, along with Source engine games, it’d do just fine. It may be the case that at 1080p turning off a little eye candy would put the game within the 112GB/s limit and remove that bottleneck in AAA titles.

The main issue is that more and more AAA titles may follow the example of games like Shadow of Mordor and require more and more VRAM and eat up more bandwidth. If things plateau at that sort of figure, perhaps the 112GB/s would cope. In the event AAA titles became more advanced in their fidelity, the 960 might find itself quickly outpaced by rivals offering a more sensible bandwidth ceiling.

Finally, I’ll leave you again with the same bold statement, that the (GB/s) figures in these benchmarks are merely estimates of a largely inaccurate form of extrapolating memory bandwidth usage figures. By no means should you base a purchase on these, as the percentage representation of memory bandwidth is open to extremely broad interpretation.

GTX 1070

 

[ALPHA17]

^ Are these benchmarks comparable to the earlier graphs you posted. =/

[SRINI87]

Which earlier graphs?

[ALPHA17]

^ The Polaris performance graph.

[SRINI87]

Yeah.. thats 3d mark11 performance

this is firestrike

 

 

 

here is for comparison

32k too much

 

 

I want below 25k card
