Maybe. Depends on how badly you need to upgrade and when exactly the 20nm GPU's will come out. Could be anywhere from a few months to Q1 2015.
Wait til tomorrow morning at least.
Probably the best idea
That Thief graph made me laugh.

You don't understand, they got a massive increase in efficiency and getting 5 FPS extra w/ a 3930K proves it! The height inflated graph proves it even more! RIP Mantle
The StarSwarm graph(if it holds true) is pretty impressive though, specially since that demo was basically made to advertise Mantle.

For the love of god Nvidia, please release Maxwell before May 15th so I can use my EVGA Step-Up program!
I agree there aren't a whole lot of options out there.
However, Asus announced a GSync monitor at CES in January. 1440p, 120Hz, 1-2ms response time, Gsync, $800.

Oh Nvidia, you and your silly graphs.
Back to Maxwell, can't wait to upgrade my old pc!

If the Starswarm part of the graph is true, it does at the very least show that AMDs (and old NV) DX11 drivers suck, and that you don't necessarily need to change the API in order to achieve very large gains in CPU limited scenarios.
Hah, of course, just ordered a new machine with the 770. If they were to repeat the 600 series release schedule the more affordable cards would be released months after the higher-end ones, we'll see. Should they come out sooner I might just use some temporary card for a while.

Well that's out of Nvidia's control. When TSMC get their 20nm shit sorted is when Nvidia can release it.
And more important, I can live with my oced 2700K until the end of my life.
I just bought a Zotac 780 Amp! edition, don't feel bad. I don't. It'll last me for a long while, and even if Maxwell is all I'm hoping for, it'll at least hold me over until the proper specialty cards are widely available.
Probably wont see a lower end card for a while still, so if that's about what your budget is right now, there's likely not much use in waiting.

We'll probably see more mid range 28nm Maxwell cards announced, but don't expect 20nm until mid-late 2014.
I definitely expect to see the GTX 790 announced.

That's like 30 TFLOPS.

An overclocked K1 with nice ram stuffed into a shield would be neat
for emulators because most mobile games are eww

My thoughts too. I think peoples hope will be crushed, lol.

G-SYNC 2560x1440 27 inch IPS display please.
That would be nice. I'd prefer PVA though

The demo is a dice roll, it gives different results every time, sometimes wildly different. However, that's a pretty impressive achievement if it's consistent in every run. It could be a massive increase to the minimum frame rate for sure.
That other graph though, the CPU sensitivity one. If they enabled PhysX on the Metro run I'm not sure how I should react.

I am also expecting to see a Physx demo for one of the upcoming titles, most likely Watch_Dogs since its the closest to release...
Durante will never be pleased!That would be nice. I'd prefer PVA though
4K G-Sync PVA or OLED with ULMB that can dynamically adjust and work with variable refresh, OR BUST.
Amirite?
One day.That would be nice. I'd prefer PVA though
I'd prefer that so much to 4k. Raw resolution is overhyped IMO while it's still tied to TN. But, alas, it's all we're getting for now...
Now we're talking!

It all depends on TSMC. People say they won't be ready till much later this year.
Only if it runs at 120Hz with strobing though.

And too power hungry!Can't wait to hear more about the K1
The power of a console in your hand and a gigantic leap in mobile processing power!!
Why, that would be almost perfect as far as non-head-mounted displays go!
(I do think that once we get to 4k+ HMDs and VR window managers my need for monitors will greatly diminish
)

But why would you even need a holographic display when you've got the Oculus Rift?
Wat.

Who needs IRL holograms when you can have virtual holograms?

So the current driver is not cpu optimized?
don't think 860 will be there ?
Eh, 3D doesn't really work like that. It's more like a bunch of flat planes at different levels.
Don't you try to hinder our progress towards Holodecks/Holosuites.

I have the DK1 and I can assure you that the stereoscopic effect is not really inferior to real life. It doesn't have lame separated planes like a 3D movie.

The new CPU optimised driver is meant to be Mantel like performance for CPU limited games running on DX11 - at least that's how I understand it (feel free to correct me knowledgeGAF).
So, any potential news on 20mm mobile GPUs? That latest 8**m series refresh was not great in terms of performance gains.
I move around too often to buy a desktop so am stuck with a laptop for now. While my 680m is great, I really feel like an upgrade would be nice but 30% or so jump to the 880m just isn't enough for me.
