I also want to wait for Volta but Volta Ti is still so far away. Maybe this time I'll splurge on a Titan if it comes out early.

Yeah, and i think i heard Volta would feature HBM(HBM3 maybe?) and fully FP16 support.

Pascal has full FP16 support. So does Maxwell. So FP16 in Volta is a given.

HBM2 is what Volta will use as per the roadmaps and leaked information that we have currently... Plus HBM 3 will not be ready for mass production untill 2020. - By 2020, Volta will be several years old.

GDDR5X and there is a possibility of GDDR6 for the mid-range and mainstream with Volta. Low-end will continue to use DDR3, we may even see a shift to DDR4.

Omg 11GB RAM is ridiculous, that's crazy. That's significantly more than what many people would have in their entire PC ahaha. Pretty good price point for what I'm reading about it so far, that's for sure.

Patience might be rewarded if Volta Titan hits this year.

I think I'll only go 1080ti if someone takes my 1080 for a price off my hands. I don't think the Ti is good enough yet to get consistent high frames on 4k.

Nice! I hope Nvidia would do a GDDR6 for the mid-range GPU cards next year and even DDR4 for the low-end(i'd love to see the benchmark of this xD), thanks Prem.

Most high-end PC's have around 16GB-32GB of Ram these days, Mid-range is usually 8GB-16GB and low end is 4GB and under.

The consoles only have 8GB of Ram, only 5-6GB that is actually usable, so probably only around 2-3GB for the GPU itself... Which does put this VRAM capacity into some perspective. ;)

I too would love to see how low-end DDR4 cards perform, it should mean a doubling in bandwidth, aka. About 50GB/s rather than 25GB/s. It could mean big things for 720P budget gaming.

Yeah, I think it is pretty histarical seeing people think that the current consoles are fine, and we don't need much more RAM. The only reason we don't see more is because SSD is not the standard, and the consoles are so limited. I can't see PS5 having less than 32GB if it comes out in 2019, and much more if it arrives later. I think realisticly we will see a 16GB 4K PS4 model in 2019, and a PS5 with at least 64GB of RAM in 2024. Once consoles make their next leap, and SSD is the standard, I have no doubt, 64GB and 128GB PCs will be a normal thing in the mid range space. By 2020 high end GPUs will have 20GB at the least. 

We are always going to need more and faster memory, and storage. We will always need faster/more powerful CPU's and GPU's. The only end is when we can not possibly make things any faster, but that is not going to happen for a long long time.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Price drop for 1080, but no price drop for 1070 T_T

The 1070 is droping to $349

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-1070-1060-official-price-cut-specs-upgrade/

 

I think we all agree that no one expected Nvidia to make these price drops. I even doubt AMD were expecting this. In any case, better for the consumer.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Yeah, but who would buy a 1070 if you can get get a 1080ti for just $350 more!

Shouldn't two 1070's overclocked out-bench the 1080 ti though? ;)
