| JEMC said: Oh! New stuff is always exciting. And that monitor is quite a beast. I also love the 34" 1440p monitors (I've looked at LG and Dell's offerings), but they are too big for me. But unless I'm mistaken A-Sync doesn't work with current Nvidia cards, is that the reason you're waiting to get a new card?. About the price of the next cards, I wouldn't be so negative. The jump to 28nm with the 7970 and 680 was surprisingly affordable compared to the 6970/580. Also, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the 480X / 1070 being able to offer the performance of today's high end cards at $400. |
I didn't have an Nvidia GPU, I just sold/gave away my old graphics card in anticipation of next gen despite having a negative outlook ...
28nm still gave us cost savings because we didn't have deal with multiple patterning or the increasing masking costs but for 20nm and beyond that doesn't look to be the case anymore ...
@Bold I would suggest lowering your expectations so that the disappointment won't hit you as hard since not even Intel has figured out how to lower the cost of their 14nm node!
