My thoughts:
-lowest baseclock guess for 980 lines up with the 10 percent performance increase over 780ti that was suggested in other leaks
Big fucking yawn performance wise, it's stupid that they dare call this a '980' , gpu naming schemes remain meaningless.
Expect a "titan 2" big maxwell at some retarded price within 6 months from now.
-970 is surprisingly close to the 980, this is the one glimmer of hope I have right now.
If it is priced at 300 euros or lower we can finally after nearly 3 years see a moderate increase in price/performance.
You know... the kind of increase you normally get with every new generation of gpus, the old high end performance becoming the new midrange performance and price wise.
But, since these gpus are more power efficient than the amd ones, and since amd have no answer for these cards in the forseeable future, we all know how nvidia acts with a lack of competiton.
I cynically expect the 980 to be 550 or 600 euros and the 970 to be 400-450, and I will probably be right. (you can quote me on this when the prices are revealed)
-the laptop gpus are actually exciting, (for people who want to play games on a laptop *shudder*)
A large performance increase compared to the old ones thanks to the much lower power consumption.
Laptop gpus have going up massively in performance/watt since the gtx 460M days 4 years ago. Now you can actually stuff a worthy gpu in those overheating downclocking 'gaming' laptops
Though I shudder to think how much OEMs will charge for a laptop with a 980M
@Jasec, if you think that new nvidia graph is any more accurate than the old one then you're crazy
Pascal is going to be another 10-15 percent performance increase over big maxwell, not a 1.8x one.
At least initially (in 2017) until they sell you the proper die (in 2018, and for a thousand bucks)
