Pascal Video Cards (GTX 1000s), what do you guys think?

What do you guys think so far of these new video cards?

should be very good, cant wait. i wonder what the price is gonna be for a 1080ti

I'll believe it when I see it.

What I think is there's no point to get the latest and greatest card from either company.

Most games don't require the power and you're just throwing money away. Get a model or two before.

Most newer and recently released graphics intensive games would certainly benefit. I don't know of any single card that gets a steady 80+ FPS at 1440P in most newer titles when maxed (JC3, GTA V, Arkham Knight, R6 Siege, etc.). 140+ FPS would be great.

I did say "most games".

Lots of gamers also are still on 1080p and don't need 340fps to play a game smoothly.

You also said "require the power" - no new games require that sort of power. It's not about requiring the power - that'd be missing the point of using a high end card. Just because games don't require it doesn't mean people are throwing money away - as your post certainly implied.

They are depending on what usage they are giving the card.

A person that plays at 1080p with everything on high and happy with a 40/50/60fps is wasting money buying a 980ti when they can get roughly the same performance with a 970/980.

I always buy a model or two beneath the latest card and play all my games on max settings while saving a few hundred dollars.

I'm just afraid of getting an NV card since they been "gimpworks"-ing their cards. The gtx 7xx has fallen behind for example.

Nice to see the next wave coming from Nvidia, but I will stick with my 980 for another year or two, at least.

Although the image has a very high chance to be fake, some things it says are true.

Nvidia previously gave an image showing Big Pascal would have 12TFlops SP.

But we will probably see GP104 powered GTX1080 in summer. Big Pascal (GP100) will be out when HBM2 will be ready...

edit: Nvidia's image:

After just picking up a 2nd 980 Ti, I'm thinking I'm waiting for Volta. That is unless Pascal is a pretty decent jump and I can sell my current cards for a fair amount. But I'll most likely skip Pascal.

Even though i probably don't need this card i'll likely get one at some point.

Depends on the price though, if its really expensive probably won't get one since i really don't need a new card yet since most games i run at 1080p.
