    When did golden age of computing end?

    It was around 2005~2006 when single threaded performance improvement took a nosedive, and we've seen only marginal CPU improvements each year since then. I know Nvidia and Jen-Hsun say a lot of things, but I mostly agree with this crude graph (CPU is blue): For me, the "Golden Age" of...

    Radeon RX Vega Discussion Thread

    SemiAccurate is probably on AMD's whitelist ever since their exposure of the woodscrews Fermi saga all those years ago: http://semiaccurate.com/2009/10/01/nvidia-fakes-fermi-boards-gtc/

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    It depends on what features you want and how you want it to look. All AIB 1080Tis overclock about the same. Some have RGB and some don't. Some have extra temp sensors, dual bios, slightly beefier cooling, etc. All of them are good except for the Founder's Edition, which runs too hot, is too...

    Place your bets on Vega

    Unless AMD makes massive, massive improvements in power efficiency for Vega, I just can't see how they will compete with a 1080Ti. The RX580 draws about the same amount of power as a GTX 1080 while under load: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-580-review,5020-6.html The RX580...

    HTC Vive Owners Thread

    I've had my Vive since launch, and have 61 VR games for it on Steam now already.... I seem to be spending most of my time in Rec Room and Battle Dome though. Also, I just purchased an EVGA GTX 1080 today. My current rig uses a GTX 980, and after trying out supersampling at 1.5~1.7.... it looks...

    Should I get the 1080 now, or wait for a possible 1080ti? Also tempted by the new Titan...

    I had a similar dilemma and pulled the trigger on an EVGA GTX 1080 today. I'm upgrading from a GTX 980, and want the ~60% better performance so that I can use superscaling with my HTC Vive. I'm sticking with 1080p120Hz until good IPS 1440p/144Hz monitors and 4K monitors drop in price a bit more...

    Which Pascal card will you buy? [Poll]

    GP102 or bust for me. I hope it is at least >450mm^2, 250W TDP, and >3500 FP32 cuda cores. I don't care at all if it has GDDR5X or HBM2, as long as you can overclock the core to >2000MHz on air, and hopefully a few hundred MHz higher on water.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    Well, the GTX 1080 die is about half the size of the 980Ti, and about 75% the size of the GTX 980, yet still beats the GTX 980 by ~60% because of the smaller process size. It's not so bad when you consider it is a 314mm^2 GPU. I wish they would have kept it close to ~400mm^2 like on the GTX 980...

    Unless you are able to overclock the GTX 1080 to the moon on a custom, non reference PCB with more power delivery, I'll wait for Vega or Big Pascal.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    The reference design PCB isn't really that bad, with the one caveat that the AIB fills in some of the empty component locations on it: If they add a second 6 pin or 8 pin connector to the spot for it on the right there, and add in many more of the missing MOSFETs and another inductor then it...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    So, there is finally a (ghetto/jerry rigged) waterblock OC review for the founders edition: After watching that, I wonder what all the waterblock manufacturers are going to do? Are they really going to release waterblocks for the reference PCB like they always have? It appears the reference...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Page Is Live

    The "Full Specs" page on that Nvidia GTX 1070 site sure is barebones. Hardly the "Full Specs". I am interested to see if it will have the full 2048KB of L2 cache. Hopefully the correct L2 cache size and number of ROP units is published by Nvidia and reviewers this time. Also, it looks like it...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    I hope that is exactly what the GTX 1080Ti is. The GP100 is 610mm^2 (~200% the size of the GP104), but only has 3584 FP32 cuda cores (~140% compared to the GP104 in GTX 1080). Rip those useless FP64 cuda cores outta there and replace them with FP32 ones, I want to use it for gaming. Also, I'm...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    We already know what is in "Big Pascal". It is 610mm^2, 3584 CUDA cores, 15.3 billion transistors. It makes GP104 / GTX 1080 look like a peon. Inside Pascal: NVIDIA’s Newest Computing Platform The question to ask is if there will even be a GTX 1080Ti (there wasn't a GTX 680Ti, which is the last...
