So they're giving up on TXAA?

Not sure what in the world could have given you that idea.

MFAA is just a performance improvement for MSAA. You could say it is an alternative to TXAA but it does not, in any way, shape, form, or fashion replace TXAA as their purposes are very different (MFAA is the bare minimum form of anti aliasing that isn't post-AA, while TXAA kills all aliasing dead).

Maybe the game will actually run properly on PC since nVidia is working with Ubisoft. I've never liked tessellation on things I walk/run on, though - my feet always go through the textures and it drives me nuts.

they worked with them on Watch Dogs

it turned out to be shit on PC

fuck Ubi PC ports seriously

Nope, WD was great on PC. Vsync was busted, but borderless windowed the game looks and ran great.

Firebrand · Sep 18, 2014

Curious about the price for the 970 cards. The 770 4GB are still 3000+ SEK here (~330).

The roof of the right doesn't look like it's made from shingles anymore. Hooray for some extra depth I guess?

Reminds me of the Tomb Raider "Next-Gen" mode for NVIDIA where they mostly just threw a bunch of shader effects onto it, with some texture / model replacements (including Lara) that didn't look anything like the originals. It looked (and ran) awful.

DarkFlow · Sep 18, 2014

I just want a price for the 980, so I can sigh and carry on.

Smash88 · Sep 18, 2014

Based on leaked benchmarks. The 780Ti performs better than GTX 980. I can't stop laughing. Looks like my Titan is still strong almost 1.5 generations later.

Smokey, back when I was worried about the Titan, mannn, definitely worth. I have GTX980 performance almost 2 years later.

Holy. Shit.

A full TWO performance? These must be the real deal.

You almost had me

Durante said:
That would be pretty shitty of them. Regardless of how they try to sell it, pretty much any GPU they made in the past decade can downsample.

And that is why they need marketing and you don't

What about Direct X 12 support?

Xyber · Sep 18, 2014

According to the Chinese review, the NVENC encoder for Shadowplay is supposed to be improved in the Maxwell cards as well. Not that it was a performance hog now or anything, but even faster is nice.

From the great translation:

In order to improve the performance of video, Maxwell has improved NVENC module, which is H.264 real-time encoding encoding speed 6-8 or Kepler live encoding 4 times times of decoding speed has been enhanced in 8-10 times. In other words in the new generation of Maxwell architecture graphics Shang, games and videos, little sense of decline in system performance.

And they also got their 980 to a 1436MHz boost clock, not sure if they got a reference card or not but it seems like it is. Couldn't find anything about that while glancing through the pages though.

Ravijn said:

Every DX11 Nvidia GPU supports DX12.

NVIDIA will support the DX12 API on all the DX11-class GPUs it has shipped; these belong to the Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell architectural families.

Got it from here.

Well, that's good news then. Thanks for the info.

Serandur · Sep 18, 2014

All I care about is if MFAA is Maxwell exclusive like TXAA was to Kepler, same with full DX12 compatibility.

About downsampling... Durante, could I get your opinion on an issue that's been plaguing me? I switched to a 2560x1440 monitor recently and with my 780, downsampling is no longer working through my drivers. Might that be due to an HDMI limitation or is it probably the panel or something? GeDoSaTo works perfectly.

Did you re-add your custom resolutions through the control panel?

Denton · Sep 18, 2014

Well, it was on mine. Or at least much better than on PS4.

mugwhump · Sep 18, 2014

Eh, 24 hours? When is the good part?

I'm wondering if I should stay late at work to catch the first hour and miss the second, or just go home during the first hour...

TyrantGuardian · Sep 18, 2014

Durante said:
Good driver-level support for high-quality arbitrary resolution downsampling would be one of the least "bullshit" things I could imagine.

Would have saved me a few hundred hours of work

Nah I just meant that particular image and caption. The feature itself is great news.

Yep, 3840x2160 and 3200x1800 give me a black screen and an error message afterwards. 2880x1620 is the highest that works and only if I lower my refresh rate to 59 Hz (shrug).

Don't you see? It's appropriate because Watch_Dogs ran anything but great, which makes it funny when people think otherwise

That's odd. Not sure.

When was the last time you played it? After the latest patches and with driver updates? It's good now.

All those GPUs support DX12, but that doesn't guarantee the older ones will glean the full benefits of the new API.

Maybe if you modded it to enable the full E3 stuff and some of the fixes they included, but it had a lot of problems out of the box.

Jonm1010 · Sep 19, 2014

I just want one of these(970 or 980) to go into my X51..... Mostly because I'm too scared to tinker any further with the thing because I am completely ignorant of putting together a PC.

What I'm very curious about is Maxwell supporting Embedded Displayport 1.4

I wonder if they adopted this to take advantage of adaptive sync just in case it became a thing? It seems kind of late to adopt 2012 standards for the mobile versions.

Oh shit...HDMI 2.0! Finally! I won't be limited to Panasonic 4k TV Sets then!

4K quality on a 1080P display? That means you would get beyond 4K quality on a 1440P display! Super dynamic cooking...er I mean resolution time!

mkenyon said:

Ive considered it. I just don't really know if I trust myself to do it. Frankly I probably will do it eventually but after buying a PS4 I really don't want to spend too much more upgrading my PC.

I have the i7 model with a 660 and it still does pretty comparable to the PS4 and if one of these can give me a decent bump to get to play The Witcher 3 better then consoles I will probably be satisfied for a couple more years until I take the plunge and completely rebuild.

Koobion · Sep 19, 2014

I think the name "Dynamic Super Resolution" could be misleading. It makes it sound like the cards have a feature that just drops the resolution like a rock when they start to chug. You go from "4k" to 800x600 - MY EYES!

Zeyphersan · Sep 19, 2014

So like, general Nvidia question. Is there any reason to use the in-game settings versus the system-wide Nvidia control panel ones?
