Courtesy of Guru3d and probably elsewhere. This is just where I read it first.

Pascal (GP100) might be 12 TF chip.

Damn. Pascal and Polaris promise to be mind blowing.
Big Numbers! Get hype!
Neat, but that "full fat" version of the chip won't be in use at first. Gotta wait for a Titan or 1080 ti or something to come along.
That said, if 1070 or whatever has a similar performance gain over its 970 counterpart, I might just be down for that.
I'd figure that a Titan version will appear wayyyy before a 1080 TI. So yeah, would be double the price... For a little while.

6 PS4s or a shipping container full of Gamecubes ductaped together.
Nvidia is gonna offer people a mortage so anyone can pay for it.

If I can get something that trounces my 980ti for under $500- then we can talk
I would sell my 980ti SC if that happens

Excel spreadsheets at the speed of infinity.
Chance of disappointment: high. I seriously believe the days of huge gains per generation are a thing of the past, particularly from nvidia. And I'm speaking as someone who's owned nvidia GPU's for a number of years.

Yea, this is my concern.
Technically, it SHOULDN'T be, but they absolutely will jack it up because enthusiasts/1st adopters will eat it up without question.
The GOOD news is that the 980s will drop in price and become more mainstream.

Both plus 1 Xbox One and half of a Wii U gamepad.
Will they drop in price though? The freaking 970 is 18 months old and barely has dropped in price. I'm not sure the 980's will see a big drop until something else releases in it's price range, which I don't think this chip will be in for a while.
Chances are big Pascal will debut in the HPC sector before coming to the consumer market, and even then it is likely to release as a Titan card instead of a 1080Ti first. Unless AMD knock it out of the park with Polaris ofc which forces NVs hand.
OTOH with a new node and a new memory setup part of me thinks big Pascal might slip to next year with GP104 being their flagship this year.

This same thing happened just before the 970 came out. I made an angry thread about it back then. Big price stagnation for performance.
Expect prices to stay the same for similar performance levels (at least for NV cards) until the new stuff launches.

Real world performance, yeah, it really is. Quite literally a next gen console in power relations.

I'll be hanging onto my 980Ti until a card comes out that's 2x as fast that I can get for the same price I bought my Ti for ($650).

Only because the 28nm process has been flogged to death by the pair of them for the last 4yrs.
All we are really doing is jumping/catching up by two generations in one go to where we would have already been had the 20nm process not been skipped.
..lets just hope it won't be another 4/5 yrs for the next leap.

DBZ comparisons have fallen out of fashion? ... disappointing!
They don't really need to until replacements are out. The 970 appears to have done gangbusters so NVidia feel there's no reason to drop it and this has been the case since AMD provide no real competition anymore from a sales point of view.
It won't. There may be an NVLINK version of the chip, but it's still debatable as to if that will even make it to the consumer models for this generation. Even if it did, PCI-E versions will be available.

We are running out of space between the atoms bro
How far can we go before we change how we do transistors entirely?
It will be, unfortunately. Process node scaling is monstrously difficult now.
Moore's Law is dead. For real this time.
No, go ahead. Could be 6-12 months before there is an equivalent of a 970 in pascal. Just grab whatever GPU will last you 12 months and save the rest for an update later on. 960/970 are decent value

It's going to flop as much as 2 980ti taped together.

Soooo, the 1080 will perform like a 980ti, and the 1070 like a 980.

I thought I heard 4nm was probably the cut-off.
No. They will be another jump akin to what Kepler was. The 1070 will be better than the 980 Ti, and the 1080 will probably beat that by 10%. Then a 1080 Ti will launch and Jesus will once again walk the Earth. Nvidia will make a data center that protein crunches every bit of cancer out of existence. Half Life 3 confirmed.
(maybe some sarcasm in there, no way HL3 gets confirmed)

Yep same here. I'm still gaming at 1080p (I downsample almost everything) so there is no urgent need either.

Let's say that for comparison, actual Maxwell (GTX 980) and GCN 1.2 (Fury) are respectively Goku and Vegeta SSJGSSJ, then Pascal and Polaris are Beerus. PS4 and One are Gohan. Dragon Ball Super Gohan.

First to the market always sets prices, but it's unlikely Nvidia goes too wild by the time Polaris drops. Realistically a 1070 will probably be $400 at launch, a 1080 about $600. That's assuming Nvidia releases first. If AMD does it's probably more like the $400/$500 they have been doing.

So for the price of a 970 (350) These pascal cards should offer a much better performance for money ratio right?
