Nvidia Pascal Announcement

[ehart]

The NVAPI bits only bridge a gap in OS support. 95% of the stuff described is standard D3D, but additional data is needed in identifying displays and setting up metadata. Theses APIs serve that purpose, until the OS catches up (or allow things to work on older OSes). Chas Boyd from MS actually gave a talk at GDC on future HDR support on the platform. What was described in the talk was compatible with what is described there. (Next post in the blog series actually has a link to the YouTube video)

I was wondering if things like ROPs and tessellation are holding back AMD. ..
390X is a compute monster, it should not get beat so easily by a budget part.

How about game software not utilising enough shaders power, PS4 even though uses GCN cores, it only have 1.8Tflops/1152 shaders...AMD holding back AMD...A thought?

290x who is in fact the 390x too (390x have slighty higher clock ), have been released in Oct 2013. One difference today is in the core clock speed. gpu's who run at 1.6-1.7ghz vs 0,9-1ghz at this time .. different arch, different time That + the architecture evolutions. How do you think a gpu as the 290x will look if it was runing at, let say 1600mhz sustained ? at something like 1.6x the core speed. ?

Not much different, they would still have problems to fill also those SPs with workloads anything but DX12 and maybe Vulkan.

I imagine glowing gently up until the point that it starts fusing hydrogen.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti and 1060 are going to be mobile successors to the GTX 950M and 960M

Following the leak we had a few weeks back , we can now confirm for sure that the 1050Ti and 1060 are successors to the mobile GTX 950M and 960M GPUs. Our source also explains that the new chips will feature GDDR5 memory and wider bus width for at least the 1060. The 1050Ti will have 4GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory while the 1060 will receive a wider 192-bit 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM.

And if named correctly, the rumor about skipping the “M” at the end of the Pascal graphics cards might turn out to be true and the line between desktop and mobile cards will be blurred. More over, we have a second confirmation that the 1050Ti is codenamed N17P-G1 and the 1060 is N17E-G1.

Yeah, when hell freezes over.

edit: Except you mean an additional $199 for an additional 3 GB of course.

Well it is NV after all so you never know...

hence the two different numbers

I think he meant that it wouldn't have the extra FP64 and other HPC stuff that GP100 has.

In other news..I can now confirm for sure that the 1080 is the successor to the 980!!

On a more serious note..I didn't particularly like NV marketing using the GM107 for the GTX 960M (Not to mention GDDR5 was optional). So hopefully this time the 1060M (or non M..whatever it ends up being called) actually uses GP106.

Looks like the 1060 is going to be $299 for the 6GB FE, and the rare as a unicorn $249 for the MSRP basic custom designs.

If they get moderately close to the $249 it could be a strong challenger to the 480 for the more cost conscious customers - context being 6GB models and especially applicable when 480 custom AIB compared to 1060 custom AIB where it should be a very interesting comparison with cost/performance game benchmarks.

… + taxes + currency exchange rates + x.

yep there has be a fairly significant different to use two different numbers on the die.

… + taxes + currency exchange rates + x.

Indeed, RX 480 8GB MSRP is $239
With direct USD > Eur + Finnish VAT it should be 267,50€. You can get Sapphire or XFX branded for ~280€ from 2 shops, but other brands and most shops have their prices at over 300€

That's a tiny card. I was hoping reviews were going to hit today, next week then?

 

[CarstenS]

July 19th.

 

[Kaotik]

- partner cards from $249 (plus taxes etc.)

Though as seen from 1070 & 1080, no-one will really sell anything at that price, because why would they? It's much nicer to treat the FE price as MSRP for AIBs too.

Note the two missing rams on this 6GB card.

Is that the review date or card available date?

Actually, AIB cards as well as FEs are avaiable below the MSRP (incl. VAT) for germany. So, bad luck for you I guess.

Is that the review date or card available date?

Both, according to Nv.

Demand and supply will dictate pricing

Yup and it seems there is no supply.

They actually do sell below the FE price, but now the issue becomes whether you can get one before they sell out!
