But... but will it be 8GB DDR5 RAM?

Great, but how long am I suppose to wait for Maxwell?

Grow up people.
Good news for gaming. From what I saw of the event it looked mighty impressive. I think I'll hold off on upgrading until these babies are out in the wild at a mass market price.
For gaming: PC exclusives, higher image quality features, better framerate, better 3d performance, more mods to make skyrim 2 look even more impressive. The works.

Well Nvidia is pretty well established in the PC/mobile department. Considering mobile devices will sell more in a single year than a console will lifetime there is some hope.

We'll be hearing rumblings about the PS5 by the time these come out.

But they didn't show Volta...unless you were impressed with Nvidia's chart >.>

My 680 has been treating me well. Curious what Maxwell will offer/cost and this.

This card will probably be out in 2016+ for a premium price. I don't quite see the connection to the PS4, which will be out this year for a more affordable price.

The tech. All that bandwith and of course the rest of it is going to be better than the Titan stuff they showed off. Not the speed of the render farm though.

Oooooh! They gave it a name! And such generic promises! They don't have a clue yet what will actually will be in there btw.
Is this a real question? You do realize that there is gaming outside of consoles right?
C'mon now.
Anyways, I'm definitely returning to the green team on my next build so, I hope they deliver on this, I probably wont be rebuilding until this is actually out. Waaaaay down the line.

Ah, gotcha

If you're referring to the GTX Titan as a premium price, it is the exception. Nvidia has had a history of releasing the first card of a series (580, 680, etc.) at ~$500.
When current high-end cards are already much more powerful than the PS4's GPU, the gap will only get increasingly wider with the 700 series (technically not increasing the gap if you're using the GTX Titan as the cap considering the 700 series is rumored to be weaker versions of the Titan, GK110) and Maxwell (~2014).
Volta on the other hand I don't expect to see anytime soon.

Well the small image they showed showed a total of 24 chips, assuming they use 4Gb density of whatever (4 chips per stack, 6 stacks)
512MBx24=12.2GB
Who is this written by?
You seriously can't think of any advantage to high bandwidth memory in a GPU? Or how it will affect 'graphics?'
She spends $2000 on shoes and clothes every other week anyways, shes not worried.

If it's coming out in 2015, they better pretty much know by now.

If it was locked, they could give absolute details. Saying things like "ridiculous amount" means that they don't have a clue yet. So many things can change in 2 years.

time to abandon my Geforce 9800 GT
I'd be very interested in hearing what that might be good for.
Are there existing applications limited by the bandwidth between a GPU and its own attached memory? They're already capable of reading and writing what they've got at least 60 times a second, right? So the cards we already have can do something like 120-300 GB/s, right? Is this a huge deal, and why?

think of it Dennis you can play at 4K 120Hz AND take a picture at 8K resolution in the bullshot thread.
That joke was baaaaaad.

I was planning to get a Maxwell GPU when they came out, but now I'm not so sure. I guess if Volta GPUs show up in late 2014 or early 2015 I could wait till then. I have imagine my 580 can still hang in there for two more years.
I'm new be nice

Mars Volta GPUs fuck yes.
Doesn't seem like a lot was announced here.

AMD has some serious work ahead of them to compete.
It is always nice to see technology move forward. Making all the more powerful hardware cheaper.

If past Nvidia roadmap/release date expectations are any indication, the wait for Volta may extend into late 2015/2016. Some of this depends on the competition AMD can provide however, which as of late has caused Nvidia to simply delay releasing better cards.
Waiting for Maxwell seems like a more reasonable goal.
