Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...
The wraps are nearly off the new NVidia Pascal GPU chipset.
It looks like a bit of a monster:
The GP100 has 3,584 32-bit (single precision) CUDA cores, and 1,792 64-bit (double precision) CUDA cores, per GPU. The 32-bit cores can also run 16-bit (half precision) calculations.
The L2 cache size is 4MB and there's 14MB of shared registers that can shift data internally at 80TB/s. The base clock speed is 1.3GHz, boosting to 1.4GHz and 5.304 TFLOPS with double-precision math (21 TFLOPS using half-precision). The TDP is 300W. The cores are arranged into 56 SMs (streaming multiprocessors)...
A consumer based version is likely to be shown in June at E3.

Now that would be worth holding out for...a nice cheap Titan would really be rather nice. Or any high 9xx series would do - I'm not fussy
Tim
they just announced June for the release of the consumer line for NVidia so July for stores probably and announcing June for amd but not selling till July
Price wise the 1080 will undercut the current 980 TI by $50 ($599 vs $649) for the standard edition
And available from 27th May !!
I think I might just wait and see if any of the Maxwell Series start being flogged off on fleabay soon, once the fanboys know that they can get a 1080 or 1070 sometime soon.
well i just saw a 1080 on amazon for 569.99 prices are starting to drop to what they should be 1070s are still over priced. another month or so and they might be in reach especially if the drop a 1080ti even the amd route the 470 and 480 are at inflated prices still.
Or any high 9xx series would do - I'm not fussy
