Nvidia Game 24 Stream All Night Live Another Day
- Thread starter wildfire

General consensus seems to be that the 970 is killer for 1080P/60FPS, which is what I'm going for. Plus you can always SLI if you're worried about The Witcher 3 or 120hz.
The 970 would be perfect for your situation. It will easily be at least twice as fast as your 660Ti.
Frame pacing looks absolutely fantastic with these cards. It actually is looking better than non-SLI, looking at PCPers review.
Frame pacing has been at the forefront over the last two years, and the newest drivers for Kepler as well as GCN (outside of Dx9) has made microstutter a thing of the past for the most part.

So did we find out if MFAA will be compatible with other series cards such as 600 and 700?
From what I've read of it I'd surprised if it wasn't.

Cool shit:
- Had a fun time talking to everyone I met
- Got FarCry 4 for free
- Played EVE Valk again, this time on new build and with DK2 (Best game on VR bar none)
- Played Gauntlet and a bit of Wasteland 2, passed on Borderlands PreSequel
- Shook the hand of someone who won a 980
- Networking woo
- Food was fantastic and 4 free drinks was nice
- Ran into Feep again. He is literally everywhere and sucks at driving games with a wheel
First of all, frame pacing would be a bad idea for VR. Anything which increases latency is.
However, the whole idea of VR SLI (which, by the way, I've been asking for for over a year) is that there is nothing to pace. It's not AFR, there is no time interleaving. Instead, both eye views are rendered simultaneously, one on each GPU. Of course, there's also inherently no microstuttering this case.
That's pretty much exactly what it is.
With far fewer problems since you can do a much better job at the driver level (and also somewhat less features and customization, as it's targeted at "normal" users).
Now the question is, would there be DSR without GeDoSaTo?

So, looking at the chat, the game they're currently playing is Roll Out?

He did make the note that one button downsampling is good and putting it in front of the end user this way also allows them to just talk to devs and say 'hey fix your UI scaling' which is needed pretty bad.
*Also DSR is working with Maxwell now, but is being worked on for older cards (Probably mid-high Kepler imo)
That's good. There's no reason to restrict it to Maxwell. (I don't really see why it would require extra work for older cards, unless they are doing some really fancy microarchitecture-specific downsampling rather than just running a shader - and I don't really see what the point of that would be)I talked to the DSR guy and name dropped you

It seems unlikely that DSR would have come so soon without GeDoSaTo. I get that the functionality will reach more people now (well, at least nvidia owners), but the loss of advanced options and the open source aspect are not good. Will you continue to work on GeDoSaTo as usual after this?
Again, was talking about the used market.

Is anyone gonna waste their time upgrading from 770, 780, and 780TI for one of these? If I have a 4GB 770 would I see a huge improvement with 970? (outside of lower temps)

Morning NvidiaGAF any new game announcement? Far Cry 4/AC Unity tech presentation?
I only saw an Alone in the Dark demo.
A nice improvement, definitely. Probably not 'huge' by most people's standards.
Oh well i hope that we will see something else in next 13-14 hours.
Currently stable in Firestrike extreme at 1478MHz and 19014MHz on memory. 5974 in GPU score.

It did not want to work at 1500MHz yet, is it possible that a modded bios with higher voltage will be released? Remember doing that for my 680.

Batman AK will have quite a lot of PC only improvements :

It seems if you're playing at 1080p 970 will rape games, so 980 doesn't seems worth it beyond that.
I guess nvidia did a good job (not mine found it on twitter)

Yeah, I'm curious what happened with that.

maybe they're waiting for USA to properly wake up? They have yet to show anything meaningful. They had some asian dev interviews, an Alone in the Dark demo, some pro-gamer background stuff and that's it. Not even showcases.Like the Mordor demo is scheduled for 3pm pdt.

Shit, I should have gone to the one near me. No idea it was gonna be this big and they were gonna give away a bunch of cool stuff.
They have a schedule? Do you have a link for that?

No. Know this from the Mordor AMA.
Yeah, 980 really only for 1440p. Though I might consider SLI of 970's at that point anyway.. hmmm...
Have their been any game reveals yet?! Next year they should do a GAME12 instead...
A game4 would already be too long... I don't really understand this event.
All I have seen the times I checked it is the same nvidia pr guy talking about the same new features of their gpus, some dota matches, guys making custom cases and that dude from clerks.
SOOOOO fun and interesting.
Thanks. Have any tech trailer for AC Unity, Far Cry 4 leaked ?
Cliffy B is on the stream talking about his BossKey game Project Bluestreak!

Sounds like they are going in the community development direction like the new Unreal Tournament.

Good. That bit of news from yesterday seemed way too stingy.

hahaha knew they wouldn't show anything!
the only thing that can save this now is a last min HL3 reveal!
