[ashecitism]

oh neat an OT

will be sleeping when this starts

 

[UnrealEck]

Incomming nitrogen cooled quad SLI Titan Z's.

 

[Nirolak]

I wonder how bad the "incredible game announcements" will be.

I'd be perfectly fine eating crow.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Funny this is happening at the same time the Scottish Referendum votes will be coming in.

 

[Phil4000]

So what kind of news and game announcements are we expecting from the event?
What I am thinking:
- Homeworld Remastered (first official showing)
- Final Fantasy XV coming to PC
- New VR game announcement
- Boss Key game announcement (Cliffy B)

Other News:
- PC gaming resurgence stats
- Sneak peak at new tech in Direct X12
- GTX980/970 announcements
- Gameworks demonstrations (for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Assassin's Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advance Warfare and Project Cars)
- A hardware announcement from Alienware and/or Razer
- An update on Steam Machines (Valve/Nvidia partnership)
- New TegraK1 devices! (and games that utilize it)
- New G-Sync monitors! (IPS, 4K)
- Partnership news with Ubisoft
- Oculus Rift news

 

[syko de4d]

Maybe i will get a 960 as a filler till i need a real new PC for VR next year.

As someone looking to replace a 3.5 year old 560Ti, it's all about the Maxwell cards for me.

 

[gasb0705]

Like the OT title... Made me miss 24 again...

 

[ashecitism]

I'd be perfectly fine eating crow.

What can we even expect realistically? I can't imagine major studios using this event as a platform for unannounced stuff.

 

[Dictator93]

Posting in a precarious OP. THE PRICE BETTER BE RIGHT.

 

[Freki]

As someone looking to replace a 3.5 year old 560Ti, it's all about the Maxwell cards for me.

Same here - I'm ready to order my 980 in ~11h after I wake up. Don't dissapoint me NVIDIA (especially when it comes to price!).

 

[syko de4d]

To see Boss Key´s (Cliffy B.) Arena Shooter is my hope.

 

[Phil4000]

Leaked slides from tonight's event for those who may have missed them.
http://videocardz.com/52552/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-and-gtx-970-press-slides-pictures-charts

Some of most interesting slides:
Gen comparison (Kelpler vs Maxwell)

Significantly improved energy efficiency

Nvidia's VR Initiative

Ubisoft's Games will look an order of magnitude better on PC compared to the current gen console versions.
Farcry 4

Assassin's Creed Unity (PC exclusive Tessellation? among other improvements)

 

[ashecitism]

To see Boss Key´s (Cliffy B.) Arena Shooter is my hope.

But as I said in the other thread, didn't he only recently found the studio and hire all those people? What can they show at this point?

 

[wildfire]

Posting in a precarious OP. THE PRICE BETTER BE RIGHT.

Leaks indicate it will be.

Funny this is happening at the same time the Scottish Referendum votes will be coming in.

Nvidia is part of the conspiracy #GAMERGATE

 

[Azzurri]

Same here - I'm ready to order my 980 in ~11h after I wake up. Don't dissapoint me NVIDIA (especially when it comes to price!).

Rockin my mighty 580 for almost 4 years now, these 900's will be a nice boost while playing at 1440p

 

[Tain]

Give me VR.

Give me a 980 so I can replace my 580 and use my gsync monitor.

PC rules.

 

[Totobeni]

Nvidia VR Direct seems the most interesting thing (after showing Maxwell gpu ofcourse) but I want to see if they'll have Shield portable 2.

also I want to see Nvidia gameworks on more games not just Ubi's.

 

[Phil4000]

Posting in a precarious OP. THE PRICE BETTER BE RIGHT.

Leaks show that the GTX980 will be priced at $550 and has 10-15% more raw power than the $699 priced GTX780Ti

 

[garath]

Let's be wishful:

- $500 980
- $300 970

On sale next week.

 

[syko de4d]

But as I said in the other thread, didn't he only recently found the studio and hire all those people? What can they show at this point?

but there must be a reason why they are at this event, or? We will see. In todays time of Early Access and Kickstarter some devs have no problems to show a very early build

 

[Dictator93]

Guys, how much roid rage will Jen-Hsun show?

Do you think he will tear a camera guy in half?

 

[Durante]

Nvidia's VR Initiative

By far the most interesting part for me.

VR SLI could actually get me to buy into SLI... except I have no space for that. Maybe single card.

Think about it, SLI which actually decreases latency!

Camera guy? It's the support people (who handle the slides) he usually has problem with

 

[mr stroke]

Haven't they confirmed $549 and $349 already?

Yup. Given how much I fear CV1 and it's higher resolution & 90 fps, that would be god sent.

First official review is available. But unless you like reading colorful translations only the charts are worth it.

[Dario ff]

Kinda related, the moderators are giving away some Broforce codes in the chat, I just got one.

Hoping for a sweet price on the 970 myself. 4 GB VRAM baseline seems like a good start.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Available tomorrow pls.

Posting in a precarious OP. THE PRICE BETTER BE RIGHT.

I already doused my torch in petrol just in case the wccf rumors are off

 

[Zeyphersan]

Chances of a 4k 120Hz monitor? Zero or less than zero?

 

[blastprocessor]

Leaked slides form tonight's event for those who may have missed them.
http://videocardz.com/52552/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-and-gtx-970-press-slides-pictures-charts

5 TFLOPS with 165W just stunning.

What is the TFLOPS for the 970?

Edit: It's 4 TFLOPS. Looks like i'm upgrading the 660GTX to the 970GTX.

 

[RedHotChimiChanga]

They should celebrate us by giving us free GTX 980s. =3

 

[wildfire]

Chances of a 4k 120Hz monitor? Zero or less than zero?

That's coming with a GSync module but it won't be IPS or VA if you are hoping for that.

 

[Nethaniah]

Chances of a 4k 120Hz monitor? Zero or less than zero?

Think one monitor maker said 2 years atleast for those to show up because of cable bandwidth.

 

[ashecitism]

Dynamic Super Resolution? It's basically downsampling, right? But only easier to enable through GeForce Experience instead of fiddling around?

 

[garath]

Haven't they confirmed $549 and $349 already?

Everything so far is "leaks" and rumors. We've seen all sorts of price points.

$550/$350 wouldn't be terrible.

 

[SneakyStephan]

$550/$350 wouldn't be terrible.

The rumored 500/550 for the 980 is terrible but it doesn't really matter when the 970 exists, as long as there is enough stock to actually get one at that price at release and in the months after.

If we can finally get a nice midrange card at a reasonable midrange price again I'll take it and pretend the 980 doesn't exist.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Think one monitor maker said 2 years atleast for those to show up because of cable bandwidth.

Displayport 1.3 just came out, pretty sure that has support for 4k at 120Hz

First monitor maker to give me that in something non-IPS gets an instant preorder

 

[Big_Al]

I wonder if they'll have any Killing Floor 2 at the event. Wishful thinking on my part but for fuck sake man, I'm not even getting any scraps for this bloody game

 

[Faith]

How long is the event? Can I go to sleep now and watch everything in the morning?

Yeah, I was thinking originally that the 980 for $500 was going to be my card but looking at the leaked performance comparisons I think I'd be very happy with the 970 for almost $200 less.

 

[Addnan]

Anyone here going to the event in London, Brick Lane? I registered for it while ago thinking if my delivery comes early I will go to this thing. Try the rift and and win a 980

 

[ricki42]

How long is the event? Can I go to sleep now and watch everything in the morning?

I thought this was a 24 hour thing?

 

[ashecitism]

How long is the event? Can I go to sleep now and watch everything in the morning?

24 hours long We don't know when the presentation and reveal will be. Hopefully at the very start.

 

[Anarkin]

I hope they show something new from The Witcher 3.

 

[ashecitism]

Here are the London and Stockholm event details btw. Couldn't find the others.
