Hi, want to ask do anyone have more info regarding the NVlink?
Since that it is said to remove the bottleneck caused by PCIe, does it mean it need a brand new motherboard design for it to work? |

QUOTE(Demonic Wrath @ Dec 10 2015, 04:04 PM) The whitepaper details on the GPU to GPU connection (p2p) only. The connection to CPU is still through PCI-E. Hmm... if it is only to allow GPU communicate each other, then I think NVLink maybe won't make any noticeable different to us... NVLink for CPU-GPU is being implemented by IBM for supercomputers only. IMHO, if NVIDIA want to implement NVLink succesfully, then it can be through:- i) akin to SLI bridge ii) Dual GPU cards It seems unlikely that NVIDIA will introduce 2 variants of GPU i.e. 1 for PCI-e interface, 1 for "NVLink" interface..   I thought it will be innovative move like Intel i7... |

Hi, need some suggestion from you all...
I'm having PSU with 550W, ATI R7 260X and planning to upgrade but with limited budget now... Should I sell my GPU and get GTX 970 (which is what I afford to buy now, and will upgrade again if I have more money)? Or save more money now to wait for Pascal, then upgrade PSU and GPU altogether? I want to use the desktop for gaming in Ultra settings... |

QUOTE(defaultname365 @ Feb 10 2016, 05:09 PM) 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. Haha, I thought everyone will assume I mean 1080p and triple A title...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  Anyway, I have decide to upgrade to GTX 970 first... thanks for suggestion |
