Nvidia Can bring down the cost of Gsync Module by finalizing it to ASIC rather than FPGA

SSJBen
The lawsuit will fail as ultimately it was priced way lower and the option can be given for tradeup which a lot of those ppl cant afford for a 980. Or a downgrade to a possible 960ti with full 4gb.

If you can win against this.. then how Apple 8gb/16gb/32gb/64gb and other ssd/hdd makers etc on the wrongly used terminological ...

If dual cards can get away with having written 8gb example on 295x2 and titan X 12gb which is true.. cause its on the cards... so really dont see how this will play out cause ultimately the price was way lower than a 980 and it reflects on its performance figure.

The card works as it should for the price that ppl paid for it.

For SOM.. seriously at 1440p 4gb aint enough.

Tested on a 980 system already vs Mine. Even Dying light is much smoother even-though the texture stream is capped at 3614mb only.

Limitation for HDMI standards.

HDMI 2.0 is not widely available.
Even gpu's only afaik is the current maxwell's only..

dude gsync is working right now and optimal fully functioning...

If u were Nvidia ... just have to see how freesync works with a mediocre AMD driver team.

Just waiting for AMD as usual if there is a issue to blame the scaler vendors.

Since we are talking about dedicated cards on my main rig ( not including the ones i bought just to test which is more than this)

and will never go back to ATI

reason is

1. Packaging (yup). Everytime. Paid a lot. Open it and always like hmm.. errr... did i get con kind of feeling.
2. Drivers
3. They always blame other ppl.
4. Hoovers.
5. Expecting them to bankrupt any time now.

but seriously on my whole lifetime of gaming and buying games. Rarely Nvidia Disappoints me compared to Ati on just installing a game and just play. Putting aside sli issues.

Not saying nvidia doesnt have its issue but seriously if money is not an object.. you rarely find a go to gamer having any issue with Nvidia on new game releases.

They are wasting time on Mantle. But i guess they had no choice as their drivers team has a lot of issues with directx11 api so to solve the issue in the future and put it at game developers hands... but ultimately dx12 will be better as microsoft have better ppl working on it.

y my skeptism on freesync. Nvidia has a lot of fantastic programmers. They said it wasnt easy for gsync until hey had to use FPGA.

Just look at the titan/780/780ti/980 cooler.

It looks good. It reaffirms before you test it out atleast " Money Well Spent" kindda feeling.

Its the same as going to Massage Parlor ahem getting a HJ for RM50 from Pro Auntie and going to another with Miss Universe for RM150.
So if this anecdote is simple.. why isnt buying gpu the same..
ATI is the former while Nvidia is the later

Look at phones. Apple led in the beginning with design and ask for a premium and still do lol... Android came in with crappy looking phones. Phones now are packaged like iphones. Android kicked apple butt. No more bulky huge boxes.

Its one of the reasons why EVGA / Asus excels at for a long time and now even their low/mid end etc all gets good packaging. Gaygay ( Actually got a warning in OCN for calling gigabyte Gaygay..) has totally revamped itself realizing this. Ppl will pay for it.

Spending money for design and packaging matters.

In that respect i will still recommend the 970 over 290x any day.

btw the full maxwell has a lot of work to do to satisfy the enthusiast level. Everybody is waiting for 4k to be dominated with dual cards at min 60fps with everything turned up. This is no small feat.

Current offerings overclock does it for 1440p. ure gonna need 2.25x the performance of these cards to achieve that. Thats no joke.

signing off.. Gee posted a lot today while waiting for waifu at airport. But this the whole hearted truth on how i feel about ati.
You know the feeling you tell ureself you will never want to be conned/scam again.... thats the reason why i dont buy ati anymore and i doubt they will change.

Ignorant person detected.Been buying cards for a ling time. If we wanna talk about cards then be it about reference card as the manufacturer intends to sells it. Reference cards. If anything goes then ln2 will come in play. Buy the top end cards from both camp n till then you wont understand.

Btw scroll up to see my main rig card history.

Dont trust benchies. They dont represent gameplay. Not siding to either on this. Dying light for example is very dependent on the preset texture stream buffering which gives 780/780ti sli a smoother gameplay than 970/980.

Forsee coding issue. Say gpu 2 wants to access gpu 1 memory controller for that bit of vram. N the latency from sli connector.
maybe crossfire will work better since the 290 uses the pcielanes

Agreed in that case a waterchilled volt modded evga classified nvidia card with custom vram timings reigns supreme.

Let me guess ure using a 290x lightning.

Eh curious how you managed to max out the powerdraw of the card. Nvidia has better driver api to max the performance of their card ever since the wonder driver.. You need to account for that

Best without throttling is 3dmark11 gpu test one custom all max with AA disabled. Warning to others on this test. Even wc furmark/folding temp only 41c. This hits 50-55c after few loops.

performance no diff for me.. slight bump. but geforce experience is bugged at the driver tab. uninstall , reinstall. as long you dont touch the driver tab it works...

must be some coding issue somewhere as this happened before even i installed the new driver.

10-20% on single card 5-10% on dual.. thats minimum and depends on ure VRAM sometimes whether its hitting close to the max.

Afaik its based on length.

60fps is limited to 1080p.

Fraps is big because its not using h264 avc encode

Btw some games you may not see any drop in fps.

looks like they already fixed the geforce experience issue etc..

updated to latest beta also no issue.

Does it have overhead or totally based of from gpu proprietary tech

Just needed to share this
Laughing like mad n almost fell from my stool just now

doubt there will be 980ti unless 390 is a marginal upgrade.

Next should be the full Maxwell. But they are running to a few issues atm afaik.

Most probably a usd 12 per person rebate or a offer to step up to ref 980(at rsp) n buyback at invoice price or ref 970 price..whichever is lower.

Only for US purcahase.

Then screw everybody who takes up that offer if they rma by enforcing the full conditions of warantty.

Read more y its a feature dude n y its a breakthrough before posting.

No not that.

http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Card...tations-GTX-970

Read dude.

Understand why this is actually a first. Before this it was never possible. By design following previous gpus including those from AMD.... GTX970 should have been a 3gb card.

So its a feature.. cause its a breakthrough. When you disable the L2 you take off the ROP and MC with it. and afaik normally it a Even number.

Dude ure just now digressing to the misled saga.

I was addressing ure remark about feature. Atleast now u know

Simple question does 295x2 have 8gb.. Titan z 12gb n is it written on the box. Lets not even go further back on all dual gpu single card back to 7950gx2 n 3870x2. Is there any mention on their spec only half is useable.

In retrospect the 970 does have a useable 4gb. So why nobody is harping about it before??

The 970 for what the current feature now is inline with the price. A lot of ppl were happy initially thinking nvidia was stupid by selling a card cheaper by 40% with same amount of rop/l2 n full 4gb of a 980.

The ones i pity is those who slied for 4k. This guys were truly misled n not getting the performance they expected.

Rest single card @1080p user wont see any diff.
