nVidia sugested it will be faster than Titan... not me. You know Titan uses a capped GK110... GK110 Full Specs + 16 SMX Titan + 15 SMX I said early this year... nVidia is being conservative with Titan... so they didn't showed all the power of GK110 because they didn't need... Titan had no copetition from AMD. nVidia didn't need to create anything new to show a more powerful card... it is just they are holding this ace. A full GK110 running at 900 (Titan runs at 837mhz) will increase at least in 10% the performance of the card... this is the minimum. BTW the GK110 is close to two years old... it was released in early 2012... nVidia Tesla used it a year before GeForce. What we are seeing now is the rebranded tech war: AMD same vs nVidia same. DAT 20nm that killed the progress. |
Ok so a 10% performance boost. The 290X seems to beat the 780 by 20%, which means it will match or beat the Titan already. So what is Nvidia going to do? Release a card that matches the 290X for $1000?
What happens when AMD releases a super version of the 290X (Like the GHz edition of the 7970)? If Nvidia releases a full GF110 that still can't beat AMD's best... aren't they screwed until Maxwell?
Then what happens if mantle adds even just 10-20% more performance to AMD cards?
