That thing is insane. Rumored to cost 1500$ and boast around 11 TFlops (which I somehow can't believe as the Titan Z, which costs about 3000$, only got around 8 TFlops)! The card will be an overkill and too expansive for me, but still nice to see technology developing so fast

kingduqc3675d ago

TitanZ and the 295X are not marketed for the same people.

TitanZ is for people who need double precision computing (aka not consumer or gamers)

the 295X is for people want the best gpu in a single slot. People who have a small form factor PC that cannot usually dual gpu. Quite a niche market.

Both are quite expensive but it make sens that they are. The titanZ comparable workstation GPU are 4300$ and have half the cuda cores so it's actually a good deal and the 295X's price is about the same as 2 290X...

Both a great feet of engineering, kinda sad they are okay with such high price tho.

You are right on the duel GPU's. I had HD 7990 and had to return it as its heat was crazy. Went to duel HD 7950 with a mild OC. They where nice but not all games will use both cards. Crysis 3 max settings was sick though. Sold them now running a GTX 780 GHZ edition. Best best for gamers is a single powerful card IMO.

ARESWARLORD3675d ago

its crazy how fast it is changing. This was a cool video I think it was filmed at the ATI building in Scarborough ON

iistuii3675d ago

Hey I sold my GTX 680 to upgrade to an RX 290. It ran so hot my whole desktop was warm & it made such a noise. I'd have quite happily kept it but my performance wasn't as good on b4 especially with the newer beta drivers so I exchanged it for a GTX 780 & I'm glad I did. I'm staying with nvidia.

SnakeCQC3675d ago

i don't find it hard to believe nvidia love bumping up their prices for no reason than pure greed

ATi_Elite3675d ago

11 tflops NICE!

but Maxwell is rumored to do 14tflops and at $1500 it's too rich for my blood.

Can't wait to see some benchmarks as this thing better be a BEAST!

gedapeleda3675d ago

I dunno how much they put into the cards but they didn't invest in they're videos.
The trailer is shit, I mean at the end the doors didn't even shut themselves, it's like they were filming in "where my dad works"

SnakeCQC3675d ago

Your dad works for amd???!!! any chance i could have a few of these cards?

A little "Over-The-Top" ad in my opinion but it just goes to show that you don't need to spend a FORTUNE on a BRANDED ITEM to get the same preference from a cheaper card.

If not more!

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin5d ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken5d ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

AMD FSR 3.1 Announced at GDC 2024, FSR 3 Available and Upcoming in 40 Games

Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.

Eonjay36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.

More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability

MrDead35d ago

I've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.

darksky35d ago

The mods avaiable are actually using FSR3 frame gen but with DLSS or FSR2 upscaling.

Babadook735d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.

MrDead36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.

just_looken35d ago

Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.

We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol

MrDead35d ago

That's crazy! Sounds like heating my house won't be a problem next winter.

porkChop35d ago

As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.

MrDead35d ago

I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.

I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.

Goosejuice34d ago

While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.

porkChop34d ago

@Goosejuice

I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
