Pascal is basically a beefed up shrink of Maxwell. If I spend

The bottom line for any company is money

volta next year is for hpc, volta consumer won't be out till later

Probably

>>56253483

how long do you think nvidia is planning to milk pascal, til 2018? my guess is consumer gamer cards in late 2017.

>>56253740

i meant to say volta gamer cards in late 2017

>>56253740
consumer volta is due 2018 on their projected timeline. Nvidia will be shrinking pascal at GF soon

>past year
>wait for pascal
>wait for pascal
>wait for pasc- NO, wait, Volta is coming out in two years, wait for that!
just shut the fuck up and buy something already instead of shitting up the board with your bitter jewish blogs all day, computer hardware is obsolete and shitty off the shelf by design

>>56253361
Maxwell/Pascal is a pretty mature design and I frankly don't see consumer Volta being much different.

HBM2 might actually be a thing by then, and they'll probably add another acceleration gimmick now that AMD is finally starting to cope with HairWorks over-tessellation.

The biggest argument against 1070/1080 is that they're overpriced at the moment due to no competition in their performance bracket.

No matter where Vega ends up on the perf spectrum, it should at least force Nvidia's prices down somewhat from their current ridiculous levels ($700 for a 300 mm^2, 256b card).

the problem is that you have to buy a new card EVERY TWO FUCKING YEARS to keep playing AAA games at good frame rates

jewvidia has got you by the balls ;)

>>56253795

when are Vega cards hitting the shelves?

>>56253986
god forbid that games would get more demanding. Just lower the settings. My 770 still has zero issues running anything at 1080p

So does AMD.

what's the point of spending $500+ on a GPU if you don't crank up the eye candy to ultra settings???

>>56253361
>will i have to spend another $600 on a Volta when it comes out in a year?
you don't have to do anything, OP. you're probably going to use this shit to play video games. you don't have to upgrade at all.

get a grip.

>>56254803
you can do exactly that when you buy it, why should game devs not push their tech as time goes on. 2 years on gpu and game tech moves and why should you be able to still play all maxed out at high frame rate.

>>56253986
>you have to
No you don't

>>56253986
>to keep playing AAA games at good frame rates

Switch to medium settings, save money and buy every 4 years.
