I keep hearing about driver maturity going in AMDs favour.. Clearly that is not the case. GTX 980 TI still proving its king at this point. Nano price drop would be epic, as it would be an awesome card at $400 even. Along those lines of "in AMDs Favour" - any word on when a DX12 performance is...

Cool, looking forward to the reviews. I wonder how limited the release is going to be for the Nano? It'd be interesting to see their entire next gen line being sized at a Nano, that'd be a much better change. Even if their entire line of cards was "sub par" performance, if they had a Nano...

Thank you for directly pointing out us i7 early adopters... I REALLY REALLY hope that when I buy this, it doesn't disappear in 3 months like the LGA 1156 line.... I've been waiting for this jump a LONG time and now I have to build it out and see how much its gonna cost. What sucks is my...

Soo its this a sign that Skylake is definitely announced august 5th? I'm really hoping for a summer release. Upgrading wanted!

I have an i7 920. This will be the time I upgrade. Its only because I feel like I need to, but this thing is a beast on its own. Though it will mean I have two of them mwhahahha!

Yes yes, its really fancy, but can it run Crysis?!?

sooo where is it? I though it was being announced at e3??

I'd also like to add, lets hope AMDs HMB ram is CHEAP, cuz its new and different and that usually means expensive.

From what I have been trying to find on this card so far, and all the rummored performance of the HMB ram, this thing should destroy a TitanX right? Especially in 4K situtations.. according to their slides. Well as always, I hope AMD brings out big guns and also includes better driver...

Nexus 6 only?!? USA only.... I really hate Canada for are stupid monopoly protection crap. I know I will never see Google internet, and I for sure wont see Google cell service.... Cuz it would DESTROY the stupid services we have here...

I just realized its April and we have yet to see any new AMD GPU news.. Titan X though its insanely expensive as a single card, does a really good job of showing off how unoptimized games are for SLI, and (to stay on topic) showing how old the 290X is. Its actually cheaper then buying 2 GTX...

so I wonder if this is the pre production 'Ti' version of a GTX 980 ? The LEAST it should have is 2 GPUs in it... i'm assuming it will cost $2000+

Saaame here.. NDAs usually drop at noon right? Is that PDT or EST? or inbetween?

I think its a good idea to make Steam easier to use from a TV. I've been TV gaming for more then 5 years now and I keep forgetting that 90% people don't even think about their HDTV + their PC.

yeah I got a Galaxy GTX 670 windforce and border lands, the also a MIR for $20 and I got the 670 at 379. Borderlands 2 for free? SURE WHY NOT?

I'm not looking forward to the next upgraded, as I'm sure PCI will be gone and I wont be able to use my Audigy Xplosion anymore :( Love my DTS digital out. A LOT.

low frame-rates is the reason I hate going to see 3D movies, I bet the Hobbit destroys Avatar in 3D clarity. Every movie on the big screen that I've seen with any panning always gets ugly because its only 24fps.. Especially when the panning is at a speed at the frames can't fill in the spaces.

Wow tri-cross fire 7970! I'd like to know what kinda power that has, and how much it eats!

GTX 570 is way more powerful. If money isn't a problem GTX570 SLI is far superior. VRAM is secondary to raw performance. short on time for a good benchmark, but please note in this: http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-geforce-gtx-560-ti-2win-review/16 the GTX 570 is 30% faster then a GTX 560 ti.

I've had some odd issues with BF3 they seems to have once out of 50 play sessions. The last one was a shadow corruption that was really odd. I have only had the PC crash once, and I have most of my settings in BF3 to high. It sucks to hear its a 560 ti issue in general :/ , I was looking to...

I got mine for $250 can, when they first came out, the tipping point for me was the 2 games that were bundled with it at the time - Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2 , still $30 value . It was a worthy upgrade, I just hope that PhysX will stop showing up on games at some point so I don't have to worry...

Nice review, I'm glad your also putting their "80plus" stuff under some scrutiny.

I think this may be some typing error but with the MIR on this Galaxy GTX 460, you can get it for $89!!!! http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6491183&SRCCODE=SHOPBOT&cm_mmc_o=2mHCjCmtB5_BfCjCVqHCjCdwwp

Okay, DX11 looks like it wont eat the GPUs - thats good. However, this looks like smoke and mirrors for most of the effects (except HDAO and tessellation).. Like the pictures of the back of the truck with the tire.. Where's the self shadowing? Oh thats a DX10 feature, where's the hi-rez texture...

I find that the engine shows tessellation in a far to extreme way.. Does anyone here remember the Farcry upgrade patch? It feels like that right now... It looks all fancy, but when shown in game its all smoke..Or the hilariously crazy Flightsim dx9 vs dx10 screen shots. The full screen shot...

Its a great review. BUTT I would have liked to see older video cards being used, like an 8800 GT or GTS.. I think it would have better simulated the real world situation where a recent upgrader has some semi-old parts. I'm now SERIOUSLY looking at a 5870... I want to wait for nvidia but damn...

nPower Hurricane is interesting. I wonder what its pricing will be? Even with one fan it was running great. I've been eying a few HSFs , any opinions on the Scythe Mugen 2 Heatsink? Its really really cheap compared to others, and its received positive reviews. P.S. - I didn't notice the Apples...

This slide presentation seems like PR masturbation to me.. I mean *CLAP* yeah good for you ATI/AMD, now shut up and sell your card.. You can wave your "We're number 1" flag for a little longer.. Everyone knows you've been try to get it for awhile... Don't start bashing nvidia out right, they...

I'd like an official statement on Fermi.. :(..

I would also like to post here to win that very nice upgrade!

Hmmm... I think the gaming side of 'fermi' is probably going to kick a lot of ass. Though price will be the big speculation. (judging by all those transistors and FMA's and junk). I like the direction they are going, Nvidia is not aiming at the GPU market, its aiming at Intels market. If the...

Are the 57XX cards budget versions of the 58XX cards?

Soo what magic fairy dust did they pump into this thing? I'm really surprised by how empty in the inside looks. no massive heatsinks, or components to the grill. Those are insane numbers.

Well it was a good set of questions, with good answers. Since Nvidia has had no leaks or anything but rumors about their latest chips, its very easy to poke them in the eye right now. What should be pointed out though, is the promises of DX10 itself were not about looks, but streamlining...

Well I hope I can get something.. Maybe nvidia will finally say "Hey I have a date for our NDA and stuff"..

I'd REALLY like to wait the extra 2 months.. but the 5870 from all the crazy rumors/leaks looks awesome enough to get without hearing from Nvidia.. With my setup ( 2 8800gts) even just the current gen hardware is a nice jump. From my reasoning the 'next gen' stuff will be such a jump it...

I wonder what the benchmarks are going to be like? Any word on Nvidia conference and when they are going to show off their next gen?

I've read a couple points in the thread, and it still surprises me people think PC gaming is dead... Vista's flopping didn't have any impact on PC gaming itself.. How many DX10 / Vista only games are there? like 4? Yet I still play ALL the games I really want on the PC w/XP.. Hell my 360...

Hehe I forgot about the cheese.. But wow that comment about 30' monitors and overclocking etc? Yikes.. I will have to say that I can't run at 'ungodly resolutions' but only because my 42' plasma *only* does 1080p.. lolz.. Pffft 30inch.. :D

I know that this [HARD] site is meant for enthusiasts and such, but why not test the HSF setups with their provided thermal paste? I know using your own (as stated in the methods) cuts out variables, but it doesn't provide an 'out-of-the-box' review.. On that note, how bad is the provided...
