VR SLI gets me wet. I was worried I'd be stuck at single card performance with the 980 (and it's successors). Now I feel a lot better about SLIing this card.

It's especially great because it means someone like me can get one card now, and another when the prices are a bit lower around the time Rift CV1 finally releases. I don't really need more than a GTX970 for my current 1080p setup, but they might get me to buy another just to get the best VR experience.

I think we'll see the GPU market become very interesting once VR really takes off; PC's finally need to greatly outperform current gen consoles again.

When exactly can we expect the unveil and price announcement? Apparently this game24 thing is a 24 hour-long livestream.

 

[Kezen]

Holy shit Nvidia Hairworks tech in Farcry 4.. did not expect!
Looks like the game will look an order of magnitude better on PC.

I just ejaculated.

 

[EternalTruth]

Is Tessellation in Assassin's Creed Unity exclusive to PC version?

Sure sounds like it.

Whenever Nvidias CEO is the most pissed off. He needs to be able to yell at the slides guy or the camera guy in order announce a new GPU.

wanting to know this also. also want to know the brand of that ichill 980.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

(look at the scale)

Was going to make a comment about it. They always have the best graphs

Those shingles look like rocks that have been under a waterfall. If the default was higher resolution texture (maybe a better angle), it would look better.

 

[Kezen]

That's why I love when Nvidia and a AAA publishers collaborate.
This is really neat.

 

[Locuza]

Is Tessellation in Assassin's Creed Unity exclusive to PC version?

I would assume that this is very likely.

It is. Otherwise it would not be "PC render features".
It's not the first time consoles can't keep up with PC with regards to tessellation.

So we have as PC exclusive improvements over the PS4 :
-HBAO+
-TXAA
-PCSS
-Tessellation

Well, the DF Face Off will be glorious.

 

[TC McQueen]

European brand apparently.

 

[ashecitism]

Well, the DF Face Off will be glorious.

Don't they usually compare the PC versions to console versions on "console-like" settings?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

but damn that card is so sexy.

I have to say that shot of the shadows contouring to the cobblestone road really impressed me.

 

[Kezen]

They use the same resolution but PC versions are usually maxed out.
And that's fair since the goal of those Face Offs is to gauge the visual disparities between the different skus, therefore they use a high-end PC to make use of all those features.

I have to say that shot of the shadows contouring to the cobblestone road really impressed me.

I'm impressed as well. It looks really great.
Gonna be expensive obviously but high-end hardware exists for a reason.

I wonder where do the PS4 version stack up. My guess is that it will look rather plain in comparison.
Do you guys remember the times where newly released consoles could hold a candle to high-end PCs in multiplatform games ? Ah, those were the days.

Cheesus.. The Nvidia event is at 3 AM here.. Good thing the slides leaked.

 

[Stallion Free]

Is Tessellation in Assassin's Creed Unity exclusive to PC version?

We haven't seen tessellation severely toned down or out-right removed from console ports so probably.

 

[Kezen]

True. Tomb Raider DE does not feature tessellation of any kind and this is very jarring. Same goes for other multiplats.

By the way my dear Phil, would you kindly make a new thread to let tech savy people know about those enhancements ? Of course this won't be a good news for console warriors, we will have to ignore the noise.

 

[Totobeni]

leaked press slides

http://videocardz.com/52552/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-and-gtx-970-press-slides-pictures-charts

async. Timewarp support for VR? The same VR Gear (edit: Gear VR was the real name, sry ^^) has, or?

Nvidia support VR hmmmm

I guess it wont be long till we see Nvidia VR vision.

Holy shit Nvidia Hairworks tech in Farcry 4.. did not expect!

all Ubi recent games were heavy on Nvidia Gameworks stuff.

 

[EternalTruth]

Someone should make an OT, all this news is in the GTX980/970 rumor thread lol.
I would make one myself but Iam at work right now...

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

So, when can I expect a free copy of Far Cry 4 when I purchase a 970/980?

 

[Kezen]

all Ubi recent games were heavy on Nvidia Gameworks stuff.

And thank God for that. Without Gameworks Ubi would have never gone the extra mile given that those improvements are beyond what consoles can handle as evidenced by the fact that they're not present in any console sku.

 

[Realyn]

Having bought a 280x for cheap recently I'm quite ok with that. Next gen just started and it'll will take the devs another couple of years to get the most of their consoles. That's when I'll consider buying a 500+ card. Until then I'm rocking my 280x and a possible upgrade in between.

 

[Pepiope]

Getting excited for this. Anyone can add me on Steam if they want to since I'm new. My name is the same as the one here. What are some other good steam games to look out for?

 

[crazepharmacist]

The stream is going on right now? Anyone mind posting a link to it for me?

 

[ashecitism]

No the stream won't start for a while. 6 pm pdt

What are the chances Nvidia will bring all these features to linux?

The Swapper is a really great indie platformer/puzzle game with an interesting story.

It's usually a couple of bucks during a sale, but I don't think it's more than $10 full price.

 

[Felix Lighter]

VR SLI sounds amazing. I can wait on buying a second card but it's nice to know when the time comes it should be an option.

for 1440p at 90hz next summer, SLI is probably going to be necessary. I hope this means better motion to photon times in SLI all around.

this really isn't the thread for this.

Can anyone tell me when the nvidia thing starts? As in how many hours from now, which is a neutral way to say it that everyone can understand, rather than gibberish timezone names.

 

[blackMamba1187]

5 hours.

 

[Kezen]

this really isn't the thread for this.

I was just answering a question. DF's Face Off aren't all that interesting from a purely scientific POV nowadays.
They're very entertaining in the sense that they highlight the incredible cognitive dissonance among a portion of the console audience : the differences between the PS4/XBO versions are considered dramatic while the objectively far bigger ones between those consoles skus and the maxed out PC version are downplayed. I'm willing to bet there will be far fewer differences between the XBO and PS4 builds of Unity than between the PS4 and maxed out PC version with all the aforementioned improvements (tessellation, HBAO+, PCSS).

It's 3AM CET I think.

Thank for this.

Would VR SLI be exclusive to the new cards or still support the 700 series?

Easiest way for Nvidia to get me to go SLI.

Will there be an OT for the event?

Just rendering an image to an output, series agnostic.

right but this thread isn't about digital shillery but about the new gpus and the new features of maxwell

Also, mkenyon, what was that shooter that you told me about in PC thread? You were in a closed beta for it not so long a go.

OMFG YES!!!!! Thank Nvidia for making the PC version superior to its console counterparts like it should be.

 

[mrklaw]

Hope VR SLI works well. Although having a motherboard and case that can only take one GPU is a limitation. Maybe they can do a dual GPU card

 

[Kezen]

ty for the time btw ashecitism

You're welcome.

OMFG YES!!!!! Thank Nvidia for making the PC version superior to its console counterparts like it should be.

Thanks Ubisoft for having striken a deal with Nvidia once again. AC4 was also undisputably superior on PC (Physx, PCSS, HBAO+, Better god rays) and Unity/FC4 will follow suit.

Feels good to be a PC gamer.
