780ti vs 880?

Syndicution · Jul 31, 2014

I am planning on buying new GPU after christmas time. So is the GTX 800 series coming this year or something? Is it goig to be MUCH better than the GTX 700 series? And will it cost around the price of the 700 series cards because I dont really want to wait extra long just to know the price and stuffs

The 800 Series graphics card might be released this year around October or later if delayed. And your ask if would perform better, yes it would, rumoured to be at least 20% faster than the current 780Ti.

Hope this has help you.

NOTHING is certain until release of the actual cards.

Maxwell is supposed be around the same price and should perform quite a bit better (think around 30 percent) to Kepler. The time of the release is a big unknown but most place it between August and December this year.

Thanks

I should be able to wait for that

The 880, if with the specs mentioned above should consume less power and also run cooler. AMD's Tonga GPUs are even more of a mystery, but it seems they will be targeting the same high efficiency.

Do you think the 880ti will be launched the same day/week as the 880?

Possibly

880 Ti won't launch this year. Also projected performance increase of 880 vs 780Ti is only about 10%, which makes sense since the process is the same 28nm and architecture is not that different really with Maxwell being a middle-way bump towards a real architecture redesign.

However it is all but confirmed to have 4GB VRAM, which is a very good advantage over 780Ti with it's stingy 3GB VRAM.

I have heard they are coming this August but not sure

Gaidax :

If its not coming this year, will it come the first quarter of 2015 or something?

Alpha3031 · Jul 31, 2014

Gaidax :

Maxwell is definitely a new architecture and [GM204] will probably release either on the 28nm, 20nm or 16 nm dies.

Gaidax · Jul 31, 2014

It is a new architecture, however it is not really revolutionary... It's basically Nvidia's Haswell. Also 880 is confirmed to be 28nm GPU.

Pascal architecture after that will be a true step forward... Maxwell is more of an improvement here and there kind of thing.

Alpha3031 · Jul 31, 2014

I can't find anything confirming the 28 nm for 880, can you post a link or something?

Gaidax · Jul 31, 2014

People already laid hands on engineering sample for 880, the GPU is built on 28nm process for example and we have a general idea about memory configuration too.

What? This picture? http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gtx-880-rumor-pcb,27190.html

Its just a photo, it does not confirm much.

Gaidax · Jul 31, 2014

Novuake :

I am pretty sure we can trust Guru3D's Hilbert if he says it will be 28nm process, besides, he is not the only one confirming it.

The issue is simple - 20nm process is not mastered yet, that's why inital 880s we will see will be based on 28nm. As simple as that.

Alpha3031 · Jul 31, 2014

Tom's already did a article on it though, and there are plenty of people speculating that it's going to be on the 16 nm as well.

Novuake · Jul 31, 2014

I also believe it will be on the 28nm process, but a photo and a whole bunch of speculation proves nothing unfortunately.
