Is the RAM bandwidth something you'll notice if you play games at 1440p or above?

Or how does it make a difference.

I'll probably be more likely to get a 1070.

GTX 1080 will probably end up costing $1080.

AMD doesn't even support Vulkan 1.0.8

https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

>Updated Vulkan API to 1.0.8

>posting curreynigger site
>any year

Both Polaris 10 (midrange) and the pascal 1080 will have a 256-bit memory bus. They will both be using the new GDDR5 modules that run at 8gbits so bandwidth on the new cards will effectively be 256 GB/s which is 15% more than the gtx 980

the pascal cards are a maxwell refresh on 16FF literally the only things being changed are the video engines on the front end for better shadowplay everything else is the same and it will not have Asynchronous-Compute Engines. The 1080 is a 980 with MAOR COARS and possible 4K, 60fps shadowplay capability and thats it. there is no GDDR5X on either AMD or nvidia cards this year so get that out of your heads you retarded faggots

Now onto the Polaris 10: it will have a 256-bit layout with 8gb of same clock VRAM like the gtx1080 but some radical shit has occured in AMD's design. they have redesigned most of the GPU and added a geometry processor and a primitive discard accelerator these two things will allow the polairs card to leverage its bandwidth better than the 1080 AND will give it a huge boost to tessellation performance while the 1080 will have the same tessellation capability of maxwell.

the layout of polaris shaders is similar in that they are structured same way into CU blocks that line up on the memory controllers, however AMD has redesigned the shaders themselves and boosted their efficiency. So even though the polaris 10 is gonna be around 2300-2500 shaders it will drastically outperform the 390 and 390X.

The Overclocking capability on Polaris will actually be much higher than pascal so a heavy OC'ed polaris 10 will actually curb stomp a 1080 and 980ti in applications where it isnt choked on bandwdith for example 1440p 144hz when you get to 1660p and 4K the 980ti will pull ahead

the polaris cards will be significantly more power efficient which will make them the go to GPU's for laptops but the efficiency wont be drastically better than pascal on desktop cards

no it does not. it still drops completely before the next switch they just tweaked the drivers to reduce the hang time. With AMD you can run both switches simultaneously

you retarded faggot. in order to run simultaneously Nvidia would have had to completely redesign their front end along similar lines to the ACE's on AMD's cards. the command processor and front end on pascal is identical to maxwell

>Compute Preemption

>GP100 extends GPU addressing capabilities to enable 49-bit virtual addressing. This is large enough to cover the 48-bit virtual address spaces of modern CPUs, as well as the GPU’s own memory. Therefore, GP100 Unified Memory allows programs to access the full address spaces of all CPUs and GPUs in the system as a single virtual address space, unlimited by the physical memory size of any one processor.

>Pascal supports compute preemption

what a joke, I laughed at Jen-Hsun when he said that was a big fucking deal in his presentation.

preemption is still a full context switch, just one that can be externally directed (by a timer or whatever) instead of being spliced into the shader instructions by the driver.

async compute shader scheduling, the real goal, allows the GPU to interleave shaders on a clock-by-clock basic for each compute unit with needlessly flushing state.

Nvidia's GPUs really are stripped down garbage that are made to shine via intense host-side software tweaking.
>>
why do they keep calling the 1080 as the flagship?

why do they act like the ti version doesn't exist?

the 1080 isn't the flagship. the 1080 ti will be. the 1080 might be the fastest for gp104 but it is not the series flagship.

man wccftech is garbage.

When will your memers learn that async is only useful when your pipelines are idling.

>>
>>53994820

nvidia hasn't fallen behind at all, AMD just caught up and reached parity.

what happens with the 14nm is still up and the air, but if the rumors about polaris being a 232mm2 die that means AMD won't even be releasing a competitor to the 1070/1080 cards and will instead be releasing a 480/480x tier card.

RotTR's highest texture setting uses >4GB VRAM at 1080p (and warns you of that when select it). Obviously Nvidia's driver handles that a lot better than AMD's one does, as the cuck card and the 980 have much better minimums.

I'm still using an AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB from my build I made in 2012. I want to upgrade when the new VR shit hits second gen or maybe when the new gpus come out.

I don't think I could go AMD again, their new crimson drivers are shit tier, I rolled back to catalyst because they were bugging my games out and crashing my system.

I haven't used Nvidia in ages are their drivers as bloated and shitty or are they decent now-a-days?
>>
>>53999339
Nvidia drivers starts givin problems 2years in the hardware release..
but there are many nvidia users that just disable the new drivers updates.

>>53999530
>"AMD’s brand new Crimson Driver update was a much welcomed update for many – but it also spells the end of support for some Radeon owners – namely those with a graphic card older than GCN. These include Radeons built on the VLIW4 and VLIW5 architecture and have been shifted to “Legacy” status following the Crimson update. However, AMD has promised a one-last driver support, given as-is, with its Crimson update. Not a bad way to send off legacy hardware at all, considering that legacy users will still be able to glimpse what Crimson has to offer."

gtx 970 is one of nvidia's biggest successes, it's a fantastic card and it still plays most games at good settings on 4k with with 50+ fps. Since the majority of /g/ are amd shills, they just can't shut up about le 3.5 gb meme, even though most games barely use anything more than 3 vram.

i guarantee you those drivers are just small stability updates for the older cards. i still get those with my old x1950 pro but any game problems i have aren't fixed with the drivers. the same will go for the 5000 and 6000 series. if anyone using those cards is having problems in any game, none of the catalyst drivers will fix those problems for those people.

not him but very very few games use more than 3/4 gb vram at 1080p or even 1440p. vram is almost never the limiting factor in a gpu. you'll run out of juice before you hit vram problems. nvidia and intel (igpu) also have very good texture compression. amd less so hence why they always require more vram. its funny, because the guy who made the texture compression used in intel igpu and nvidia gpu was an amd employee, and they still don't use it.

If you get a card now at least get a 970 so you can do VR. Everything lower is deprecated at this point.

My first Fermi was a GT530, it was an amazing gaming experience for me. Maxed out CoD4 on 1280x800.

>>
>>53999809

Every game from last year I play uses over 4gb on occasion at 1440p. I always check my maxes after i get off a game.
>>
>>54000823
if you have a 4gb card it won't. if you have a card with more ram the game will just cache more.

when its said that the game wont use more than 4gb it means the game doesn't need more than 4gb to run effectively. hell, most games still run well on 2gb 750 ti and 960.

The 1080 stands for 1080p because you won't be able to play the latest games in 4K or even 2K with just one of them. Don't fall for the Pascal meme, kiddos.

Also don't fall for the AMD meme either. They're not some kind of underdog, they're the prime supplier for console peasants and doing just fine right now.

Nah don't do it. Cards like that will be entry level next year because of the movement to mass adoption VR.
>>
>>54001634

There was no evidence of the fan bug actually killing cards beyond a random twitter post. For a long time gpu's have had thermal protection baked into the silicon to prevent non working fans killing cards (fun fact: the overwhelming majority of gpus don't even car if a fan is plugged in or not, whereas if a cpu doesn't detect fan it will refuse to boot).

I actually tested this on ym 290x due to my ow nstupidity - I had removed and cleaned my tri-x cooler but didn't screw it down enough so theh eatsink wasn't making contact with the gpu core. It would thermally shutdown basically after booting into windows.

I remember after one of nvidia's driver updates geforce cards would go for max fps on the main menu and something about 2d clocks/fan not activating would cause the cards to fry and not shut off, I think it was starcraft 2, a popular game at the time, not far from launch so it was a big deal

The only reason that's the case is because it was cheaper with the similar/slight+ performance to the most performing and expensive card of the time(first $1000 titan remember?) and people saw it as a deal but in reality it wasn't as planned since Nvidia sets the prices and AMD wouldn't come to play for another year. Nvidia picks the right time/price that benefits them the most to sell GPUs unlike AMD, then fuck every early adopter like they did with the titan z and 980 ti,it's all marketing tactics anon and people keep eating that shit up.

They're not announcing anything because it would make people stop buying cards/become waitfags, and for good reason. Prices will drop on old cards and we'll get higher performance cards for cheap (i.e. ~350 midrange Polaris 11).
