Meanwhile Volta has been pushed back and stripped of its marquee feature. It’s on-package DRAM has been promoted to the GPU before Volta, and while Volta still exists, publicly it is a blank slate. We do not know anything else about Volta beyond the fact that it will come after the 2016 GPU.

Which brings us to Pascal, the 2016 GPU. Pascal is NVIDIA’s latest GPU architecture and is being introduced in between Maxwell and Volta. In the process it has absorbed old Maxwell’s unified virtual memory support and old Volta’s on-package DRAM, integrating those feature additions into a single new product.

With today’s announcement comes a small degree of additional detail on NVIDIA’s on-package memory plans. The bulk of what we wrote for Volta last year remains true: NVIDIA uses on-package stacked DRAM, allowed by the use of TSVs. What’s new is that NVIDIA has confirmed they will be using JEDEC’s High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) standard, and the test vehicle Pascal card we have seen uses entirely on-package memory, so there isn’t a split memory design. Though we’d also point out that unlike the old Volta announcement, NVIDIA isn’t listing any solid bandwidth goals like the 1TB/sec number we had last time. From what NVIDIA has said, this likely comes down to a cost issue: how much memory bandwidth are customers willing to pay for, given the cutting edge nature of this technology?

Finally, NVIDIA has already worked out some feature goals for what they want to do with NVLink 2.0, which would come on the GPU after Pascal (which by NV’s other statements should be Volta). NVLink 2.0 would introduce cache coherency to the interface and processors on it, which would allow for further performance improvements and the ability to more readily execute programs in a heterogeneous manner, as cache coherency is a precursor to tightly shared memory.

Wrapping things up, with an attached date for Pascal and numerous features now billed for that product, NVIDIA looks to have to set the wheels in motion for developing the GPU they’d like to have in 2016. The roadmap alteration we’ve seen today is unexpected to say the least, but Pascal is on much more solid footing than old Volta was in 2013. In the meantime we’re still waiting to see what Maxwell will bring NVIDIA’s professional products, and it looks like we’ll be waiting a bit longer to get the answer to that question.

My rig is turning 6 this March *touch wood* and it still handles GTA V maxed out at 1080p really well (i7 870, 8Gb RAM, GTX 970). Only upgraded GPU -> 460 > 680 > 970 and OC'd the CPU 

For me, maxed out means 'Full settings' at 1080p, with the lowest AA possible (e.g FXAA - poor man's AA). I am not a 60fps gamer, as long as the game is smooth then its fine.

I should sell my 980ti before they announce the new gpu?
Or just stick with it for a few years. What do you think?

Some people are totally wrong here. There is not even a card yet to max out new games at 1080p and maintain 60 fps. For example Rise of the tomb raider, The division, Hitman etc.

Keep first lah until pascal TI available

GTX 980 Ti for 1080p will last for 3 to 5 years if you compromise some settings.

Keep keep. Price drop.. GG
I'll see how it goes I guess.
Thing is it probably won't.. since Pascal is like double or triple in performance? I also don't know lol

Haha 2 more months left 2 pascal if true

So hold ya horses and shield

2014 2015 nvidia stinks at 1440p but pascal will overpower all the newest games at 60fps max ultra mode trust me it will
