Why hasn't NVIDIA released any news about Pascal? I want to buy it already.
because hyping it too early will hurt sales.
team green knows best!

>Blaise Pascal had poor health, especially after his 18th year, and his death came just two months after his 39th birthday.
Wew lad, this will end well.
FUCK
Because no async compute, kek. They dont want the news to hit them hard.
>>53359745
What do you mean by this?
>>53359603
Also this is a really smart strategy when you think about it.
>>53359589
>I want to buy it already.
Stupid goy.
You don't need pascal when we are offering best card on the market, bo buy it right now, then feel free to upgrade to pascal.
If we have doesn't mean we're gonna sell it right now, you have to get a 970ti first.
Better question:
Is it worth buying a new GPU now or is HBM 2.0 going to produce a huge performance gap?
>>53360064
Wait for Pascal. It's going to be a gigantic improvement.
>>53359745
Maybe they're working on it. I don't care though, switching over to amd now that async compute isn't a meme anymore, maybe I'll keep my 970, use multi-gpu where possible and in some gameworks games where the 970 performs better than the 490 (probably my next gpu).

*Polaris

>>53360151
I actually rather put my bets on Polaris after the 3.5GB fiasco and the shady practices of Nvidia.
But anyway, I hoped to get one now because my old one is already too old and should become my server, but I guess I'll wait.
Any news on release dates?
>>53360064
HBM isn't going to do shit.
The jump to 14nm is going to be huge though.
However, the new cards are going to be FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
I'd recommend not waiting, since cards are in a nice good price/performance zone right now.

Nvidia now has support for Vulkan, what does that mean?

>Where the 970 performs better than the 490
>970 performs better
>970 performs
>970
Top kek anon a 970 isnt even beating a 290 anymore how would it stand a chance against a 490? Even fucking macaroni and cheese makes fun of it look

Seen the new gears of war? Dx12 game with nvidia hbao+ (not gameworks, only hbao+), cucks amd cards to hell and back, dx12 gameworks will probably be more amd-cucking than dx11 gameworks.
>>53360461
I'm pretty sure the problems that game is having has more to do with PhysX that can't be disabled.
Also, Hbao+ is basically an Nvidia technology that AMD can't into properly, so it might as well be Gameworks.
>>53359679
DO IT!!!
>>53359589
because it's not done
even the sample they showed recently was a fake
they're stalling for time.
>>53360296
970 is a meme trash card only good for games before 2013 when 2 gigs of VRAM was standard.
LOL, I use more than 4 gigs now on most games.
I'd probably talk shit about ATI too if Nvidia hated me because I didn't buy a 980 ti for full price.
>>53360673
Signs do point to this, they are playing it close to their chest until they find the right talking points to try and cover up the bad news.
>>53360461
but game works is just pointless crap they add to make your game run worse
PCSS, HBAO+, etc. These are all meme technologies that add nothing to your visual experience. Even Tessellation is mostly a joke for 99% of what Nvidia uses it for.
The majority of Nvidia owners don't use or give a fuck about GoyWorx
>>53360732
That's not my point though, my point is that nvidia has all kinds of tricks to make their cards run better than amd's in games they 'support'.
>>53359869
>paying more money instead of just waiting
no wonder nvidia is doing so well
>>53360192
Polaris confirmed in laptops next month, specifically the M460, Lenovo leaked it in a press release.
As for desktop cards, official word is before July. (Back to School season)
>>53360211
Pascal is on TSMC 16nm, Polaris is on GloFlo 14nm
>>53360710
Might just be the earthquake that hit Taiwan, word is it seriously impacted the wafer line.
Or Charlie and >>53360673 could be right, and they only taped out the big chip a month back, which would be terrible fucking news for their launch schedule.

He had Fermi spot on, and most of the rumor mills are getting excited over fucking forum posts (fucking sweclockers)
