Anyone Know When The Next Gen Nvidia Cards Are Being Released

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Anyone know Japanese:

I wonder if Nvidia is using something similar to HT with Kepler??

It might explain why driver optimisations are supposed to be important.

"PC-related products & IT trade fair CeBIT 2 012 a ", the opening in the city of Hanover, Germany on March 6, 2012. Where, GPU "NVIDIA next generation of Kepler notebook PC for gamers seems to be "(Kepler, development code name) and has been equipped with more than one exhibition.

P2542G Gaming Notebook
　GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY is a notebook PC "P2542G Gaming Notebook" of the 15.6-inch size to be equipped with "Ivy Bridge" (Ivy bridge, codenamed) the generation Core i7 processor, GPU "unpublished, for example GeForce GTX 660M the " has announced it to be mounted. In addition, "in the notebook PC called" GT70 "also MSI Nvidia GPU next Generation And so "such as claiming to be incorporated in (sic original ※).

Here is the relevant part translated(badly) by Google Translate:

"Our users, from conventional products by improving performance "only" 1.5 times as much would not be satisfied. Details of Kepler is not clear, and performance per unit of power consumption is up significantly, it should also significantly improve the absolute performance compared with conventional products of the same price range. "

NVIDIA has been seen, from the end of 2011, has begun the publication of element technology adopted by the GPU in the future, some of which are to be adopted and in fact even Kepler.
When you place an example one, NVIDIA will have to introduce the approach in the technical conference of semiconductor-related was held at the end of 2011, in order to improve the efficiency of use of CUDA Core, to be able to handle more threads on each core was. It was spoken there, increase the number of threads (batch = a bundle of thread) "Warp" which is controlled by 32 thread in the current generation of products, by raising the utilization efficiency of the GPU combined with improvements in scheduling, such is the content, trying to balance the optimization and higher performance with low power consumption.

I think the details are want to tell once again the opportunity, as can be seen if Moraere Think of a Hyper-Threading "" of Intel "approach is NVIDIA, to be able to use threading to other free resources CUDA Core It is, and shall raise the processing performance per CUDA Core, be reduced so that the power consumption per performance "that (official NVIDIA).
In addition, officials close to NVIDIA, "in Kepler, and to improve the processing performance of the DirectCompute PhysX" but also said, If we take the approach NVIDIA officials say certainly, than the arithmetic processing graphics processing "light" is not assigned to the free resources of CUDA Core, a, would not be surprised as to improve the performance be measured.

In any case, future-based products than actually running at the venue of CeBIT 2012 thus, not so far, including the model for the desktop PC, details of Kepler is supposed to be clear. I would not have it be nice to see and finally went into the position for takeoff Kepler."

I'm starting to dread the BF3 benchmarks....

I'm starting to dread the BF3 benchmarks....

Why??

[shaithis]

Major tech changes and the BF3 vendor-specific code.....just look at the 7xxx series and how long it took DICE to patch the game for it.

Good point.

Maybe Nvidia will put some effort into paying DICE to optimise it better for BF3,so they can have one up on AMD??

GK104 will be 680.

Seeing some benchmarks show 7970 in the lead, mostly in tessellated situations there, other "normal" synthetic 3D benchmarks and gaming benchmarks show 680 faster. Driver advancements still happening as well for 680.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

The irony. Now AMD might do better in tessellation than Nvidia within the same generation.

[kalniel]

Yep. Backs up the idea that nVidia have gone a bit more towards AMD's style of compute units.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It looks like Kepler has something lke Turbo Boost:

Supposedly it is 10% faster than an HD7970 in BF3.

Apparently the Samaritan demo runs on one un-disclosed Kepler card aswell which ran on a 200W PSU.

They used a different form of AA which was much less taxing than what was run on the GTX580.

Also it is the card which was using less than 200W of power:

I did think that would be more accurate.

Still, with MSAA i imagine you'd be fine with the solitary Kepler (7970 as well?) card anyway.

O/T: Nvidia's own (might be the crux of it) screenshots show a fast improvement with FXAA3 over MSAA in terms of 'blurring' without much effect on the textures IMO.

I doubt it - MSAA on deferred rendering is a PITA. Especially if Kepler is as low memory bandwidth as it's reported to be.

Seems equivalent to AMD's MLAA 2.0. So question is, could a 7970 do that demo as well? I'm betting that as long as there weren't any nvidia specific nasties then yes, easily.

Here is a clearer picture of the card:

Edit!!

Supposedly,the embossed letters are backlit.
