dGPU shat itself at almost, but not quite December 31st 2016, 11:59 GMT. If I didn't already have ENOUGH reason to hate 2016 already, it's a mobile workstation GPU, too. Thank god, my warranty is still until May of 2017. I need a loving proper desktop.

Finally, someone paying attention to bandwidth per pin. I assume that helps Ashes?

I'm not entirely getting my hopes up with nVidia. Their CES stuff always seems to be focused on, unsurprisingly, consumer electronics. Mobile devices, Shield, autonomous cars and other "learning" technology. Have they had a gaming GPU announcement at CES ever? The last two major families got their own special events and 980ti was at Computex.

Some speculation that the really buzzwordy Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer is just Tiled Rasteriser and they're aping Maxwell. Which is good but it's funny they're burying it under word salad.

repiv posted:Speak of the devil: http://videocardz.com/65301/amd-announces-freesync-2 They explain it in the comments... "It appears that Freesync 2 shunts all of the tone mapping to the GPU side of things to keep any heavy processing off the display." "In case you didn't pay attention to the slides it is actually related to Display sync. It cuts out the Display Tone Mapping Lag."

Yeah, I get what they're doing. There's just no connection to adaptive sync there - the same frontloaded tone-mapping could be applied to a fixed-refresh display like a HDR VR headset. Jumbling together two unrelated display technologies under one name is needlessly confusing. repiv fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 3, 2017 |

loving hell. So if I have a G-Sync monitor and a 1080, do I enable or disable V-Sync in game? Or in the GeForce Control Panel? And then I enable G-Sync in the Control Panel regardless, correct? I feel like a moron.

Vsync is only if you want frame limiting to 144/165/whatever so you dont get tearing. Turn on gsync in the control panel, and vsync whichever you like better

vsync adds input lag though, right? Why not just frame limit to your monitor's refresh rate so you're always "in" adaptive sync?

There's no reason to put up with vsync if you had a gsync monitor and even if you had to have a specific fps then you should just frame limit, which adds no overhead at all (even saves some) and gsync will prevent it from tearing. I guess in this scenario it wouldn't work out if you actually went below 60 fps due to graphical demand though (edit: not that it would work with vsync either), but having to mash vysnc by necessity and gsync together sounds like a headache to me penus penus penus fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Jan 3, 2017 |

Lenovo hosed up again and let slip that AMD is doing the RX500 series (like they did with the RX400 series) Likely Polaris 11, my guess based on past behavior is the Polaris 10XT2 will be the RX 560/70 for desktop. Small Vega for 580/90, Big Vega for Fury/FuryXXX. I'm hesitant to say it gets moved down the stack much further because that's some extreme drop in value. This also kind of reinforces the idea the 400 series was forced out just to have something for sale if it's replaced in about 6-8 months.

Annoyingly, that's actually at a pretty good price point, too, or at least it would be, if it weren't Lenovo.

1050 and 1050ti revealed for mobile. http://techreport.com/review/31180/nvidia-unveils-its-gtx-1050-and-gtx-1050-ti-for-laptops Of note: Mobile 1050 only 16 ROPs compared to desktop 1050's 32. Clock speed bumps across the board on the mobile variants. Nvidia taking a page from AMD's book and putting in frame pacing, re-using the old Battery Boost name. I don't think I'd mind grabbing a laptop with a 1050 Ti in it, if the price is right. It looks very good for 1080p60 gaming. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jan 4, 2017 |

The 1050 looks like it won't be that great but the 1050ti should make for a nice light, decent gaming machine.

Oh great.. I have been tossing the idea around that a 1060 in a laptop would be enough for me for another 6+ year laptop (can't believe my G73JH has made it since 2010). But a 1070 or 1080 would make that last a hell of a lot longer even if the portability is going to have to suffer, Unless I get a Razer Blade Pro or something...

I'm planning on getting the next XPS 15 and ~25% over a 960m is a big boost coming from a 750m. But yeah for real 13 inch gaming laptops the 1050ti should be quite nice.

So kaby lake is out and none of the desktop chips have edram on them. lol Wasn't that thing in 5775c a pretty hefty boost in FPS in basically any game that's even slightly cpu bound, to the point of skylake looking extremely anemic as an upgrade? Do they just not want nerd money?
