Nvidia to demonstrate Kepler at PDXLAN this Friday

Don't like nVidia threads by nVidia customers about potential nVidia products that excite them? Don't read and/or post in the nVidia sub-forum. Pain relieved.

Indeed. I don't frequent the AMD subforum or the Apple ones very much, since I don't use their products a ton generally. Why would I? It would only annoy people and not really benefit anyone.
 
I love how this thread went from hopefully seeing kepler this weekend. To kepler not showing up, then people bitching about Nvidia, To comparing Nvidia's cards to AMD 7k series.

LOL..../facepalm
 
i really dont have anything against nvidia. i just hate 50 threads on the same topic with mostly the same info. this happens with every hardware release. how many 7970 threads were there before it released? in about 2 weeks there will be 10 new IB threads everyday.

Such is the nature of internet forums. People are always excited about something new and upcoming that they would jump on any rumor the moment they surface and create threads about it.

Would have been good if we could organize all rumors into a single thread, but seeing as how the discussion in those existing threads quickly spiral out of hands, this probably won't work either. :p
 
I just spent a crap load of time thinking about buying a HD7950 and just when I was about to pull the trigger I couldn't get over the high costs and decided to wait for Kepler.

At this point in time I'm waiting for Kepler only because I hope it will lead to better pricing on 28nm video cards.
 
So, no word on BL2 as well? People that were in attendance seem to be ignoring the questions.

High cost? LOL

Which forum are you at?

Also, GTX 580 3GB is the same price if you want to talk about price....:p

Sure but GTX580 is EOL and was the fastest card for more than a year. That was a real enthusiast card. You won't see huge price cuts because they are getting rid of the stock and that's about it. The current next gen AMD offereings and probably Gk104 are not enthusiast products for me. And i am very convinced that neither of them will be the fastest card during the next gen on 28nm and probably will not have that crown for a year timeframe. The DIE size points to a performance segment product within the new generation. So i would not pay the price that is demanded right now.

Since when is GTX580 eol?
 
My GTX570 is still doing pretty well, so Kepler isn't an absolute "need it now" product for me. In my case, I just want a timeframe so I have a price/performance reference.
I've had too much bad luck with ATI to jump ship unless I *know* Kepler is a dud.
 
Am I the only one who's worried about Borderlands 2 on Tegra (mobile devices)? :p

I hope that's not the direction the gaming industry is heading towards
 
So, basically... we can't talk about Borderlands 2. A rep from gearbox urges it, and me being a respectful gamer, won't get into details. I loved the first one too much to be a dick. Ill be brief. So, lets just say I am VERY excited for this game. And no word on PhysX. But I wouldn't doubt it...

VERY excited..... *drools in my head*

so the only point was to show off Borderlands 2 to a few people and then tell them they cant say anything? :confused:
 
Hey thanks for the update warrior. Can't say I'm disappointed since nvidia never said what they would be talking about. I'm also liking some of the stuff I'm hearing about borderlands.

Either way, did the tourney get started ever?

Telling it to an audience of gamers with internet connections who are chatting it to many forums in one place. After showing something and asking them to pinky swear not to tell.


Now you're trolling.
 
If you feel I'm trolling for being a respectful person, to a representative of the game developers, then you sir are not a respectful person, and therefor you're a prick... :rolleyes:

They showed us the game because we are PC gamers, WE are they're audience. Over 500 of us. They wanted to tease us in the worse way. And, quiet frankly I'm very okay with that. I got to see glimpses of the very game I'm anticipating this year, and no one else but the attendees can see it, and told to be quiet about it. Fine with me. I can respect that.

If you can't respect that, I don't give a shit. I respect people/game developers that do something like this. And, I thank Gearbox for doing it.

You didn't attend, so it's all your loss bro.

again please tell me why they would show this game footage to some random people at this event but want them to keep quiet about it? that makes no sense at all.

Well, if it makes you feel better to pay $72-$77 and wind up essentially shafted, more power to you. Gearbox was more then likely requested to play it down by Nvidia, who wasn't prepared to exhibit what everybody most likely thought would be there. If I were you, I'd be pissed.
 
I did not read the entire thread... skipped to the last page. AFAICT there is no new GPU news. Instead some folks got to see a Borderlands 2 video and apparently they have been given "secret squirrel" status and cannot talk about it.

I gotta say. This thread so far is about 8 pages of fail. :p

Dude, I paid months before Nvidia said shit. I pay for the event, not the sponsors. :rolleyes:

I don't feel shafted one bit. I already won an M60 mouse biotch! :p

Anyways, to answer a previous question, the BF3 tourney is starting now, my team isn't up for a bit, so we are practicing. now. I'll be out for a bit.
 
reverse physcology.. it makes it "feel" more exciting to tell someone when you aren't suppose to
 
if you think it was some crazy showing of BL2... it wasn't. It was a teaser video that will probably be released soon. And, it was good. Really good. Can't wait :D
 
Just leave warrior alone , jeez. If he's respectful thats cool in my book, I'm highly anticipating borderlands 2 as well. I hope to baby jesus it has better co-op connectivity, maybe steamplay or something.

Now if he had a kepler NDA we'd have to ransack his home for info :p

Lets just say, it's everything Borderlands is, but more WUP WUP!! ;)

Rage had a teaser trailer that was really good, crysis 2 had a teaser trailer that was really good, have just these 2 flops not taught you anything?
 
Assuming 7970 is %20 faster than GTX 580, %20 of $460 is $552. You're pretty much getting the same performance per dollar now, except for the fact that the GTX 580 isn't accounting for the 200mhz overclock you're going to get out of the 7970. It's still not a good buy unless you're blinded by GK104 goggles.



Speculation, rumors, and conjecture are fine. blatantly calling people trolls when they're not trolling isn't.

It's also not really speculation when NV says they're announcing something and everyone gets together and thinks that it's Gk104. What this thread had was a lack of speculation and it started from the thread title when the original poster decided that they knew what NV was going to announce at their surprise announcement and everyone, instead of speculating upon what would be shown, all clamored for GK104 without an ounce of critical thinking.

The only people who did chime in and say that it's probably going to be a game or something were the people who aren't hardcore fanboys.

I'm not a fanboy. This computer is an AMD. My other rig is an Intel. I have an 8800GTS and 4870 sitting in a box together, being friends. Everyone in this thread who threw logic out of the window in the name of a wet hardware dream of a card that's faster than a $550 card yet costs $299 while having almost the same die size that would be magically surprise announced and demoed at some lan event most people haven't even heard of as opposed to CES or something is trolling. If you want to be mad at anyone from trolling, be mad at the OP for stringing you all along and trolling everyone into thinking an "announcement" means "gk104 is here tonight!"

Amen, braugh. Well said.
 
Rage had a teaser trailer that was really good, crysis 2 had a teaser trailer that was really good, have just these 2 flops not taught you anything?

But, like i said, its just like Borderlands (which I feel will go down as a definite favorite among most people that have played it and liked it)... But, way better... :D

I'm glad they didn't change much. IMHO, Crysis 2 was a BIG change in game-play and platform release, compared to its first release, which in turn made it a flop. WE ALL can easily assume that Borderlands 2 will be a multi-platform game, so there will be no surprises there on release... Like the ones mentioned.
 
Crysis 2 played like a bellow average halo with a terrible story. It wasn't the horrific shit show that some people make it out to be, but it was pretty uninspiring.

Also anyone who uses the word sheeple in a non ironic manner in day to day conversation should be shot.
 
I don't even play Borderlands and the video we saw here made it look very awesome.

I'm sorry I wrongly predicted they would show keplar here. That was the rumor I heard....

I'm only guessing at this point they might say something at PAX East April 6-8th. That's the next big event to make an announcement. There is also computex but I don't think they would announce keplar there....

PAX East is a possibility because it coincides with the rumors floating around that say April release for Keplar....

The 7990 is set to release in April too which is the card I'm really waiting for.

IMO you should stop making rumors about new video cards being announced at gaming events. I don't care about PDXLAN or PAX EAst.
