Add a laptop, two tables and three smart phones.

I need to pull the HDs on two of them and junk them, typically I only use three of the desktops and four of the monitors. I just haven't gotten rid of stuff as I have upgraded, that's about 10 years worth of hardware.

Believe it or not, I get a lot less via hardwire because I have to use a power line solution if I want to do that. I share the house and I can't run an Ethernet cable to my PC due to risk of someone tripping so I have to use wifi. I get about half of that test on a power line box.

4K monitor comes in today, think I am also going to sell my Fury X and crossfire 480's or grab a 490.

Recent reports say the 490 is about to be unveiled and is a dual GPU polaris full chip and double the cost of a 480 and possibly as high as a 1080 price point. If it is in fact a dual full polaris chip gpu, that is gonna be beastlyyyyy.

Should also help bring the 1080 market down for you Nvidia people, assuming the 490 is priced around $549-699.

Everything below is rumors for now:

Can't wait to see how expensive the two new Nvidia Titans that are rumored to be revealed at Gamescom in Germany are gonna cost. The 1080 and 1070 are built on Pascal 104 die. The two new Titans are going to built on the Pascal 100 die which is the full fat Pascal, and come with 12GB's and 16GB's of HBM-2 memory respectively. It is rumored that the Titan P's are so powerful that they will be CPU bound in all applications and that even the new $1700.00 6950k Intel CPU can't keep up with them.

There is also a Pascal 102 die with more Cuda Cores than the 104 die size, but will also have DDR5X memory, which means this card should be the 1080 TI.

Why would you do that?

VRAM for 4K?

Okay lol

1 TITAN based on GP100 which is FULL and 1 1080Ti based on GP102 which is BIG. They are not releasing together or within 3months of each other. None of what you said is rumor except Gamescon on Aug 17-24.

you trolling?

Just no. An IB from 2012 has a enough lanes to handle GP100 much less Broadwell-Es 10core.

All news reports on the rumors say there will be 2, let me say that again, 2 Titans. One with 12GB's of HBM-2 and the other with 16GB's of HBM-2.

Nope please post rumor.

Edt: we will have 2 GP100s probably, yes. But 1 is a Tesla card.

Read that in at least one of the articles on the Titans, not trolling at all.

If they are truly going to release those cards with that much HBM-2 memory with the yields on HBM-2 being so low, they are going to be nothing but halo cards anyway that only the stupid with more money than sense will buy for gaming.

Yea its no doubt 490 will be a dual gpu card. 480 has all 32 compute units enabled.

Take my advice and never buy a dual GPU card unless its for a small form factor build. You will be mucb better with true SLi/CFx.

Not really.

12 is needed for surround 4K. GK110 launched with 6 in 2013. I wouldnt say that at all.

Ive owned TITANs. It might not make sense to you but makes sense to some of us.

Just please post rumor articles. The rumor of 2 TITANs just doesnt make sense. When making full chips its hard to get yields at 100%(ex 1070 to 1080), so the 2 GP100s rumored will probably be a Tesla GP100 with 16 and the TITAN will be 12 with disabled compute units. Ethier way they wont have the same number of compute units and cuda cores which sucks.

I just don't see them being priced anywhere near the $1000.00 - $1200.00 that the last Titans came in at with the yield problems on HBM-2 and at least for the foreseeable future their will probably be limited numbers of them manufactured.

IF they are priced in the $1000.00 range I will definitely consider buying one. I mean hell a 1080 is $700.00 so what's another $300.00 on top of that. If you can afford $700.00 for a card it wouldn't take much finagling of finances to pull off the extra $300.00

I hope not!!!

I am really wanting to get back into PC gaming, but don't want to settle if I don't have to.

The AMD Vega cards need to hurry the hell on up as well.

I am thinking about wasting money right now as it is anyway. I am working in Afghanistan so it would be hard as hell to build a PC here. Thinking about pulling the trigger on an Origin PC Chronos.

The one I have priced out is $4261.00 ($300.00 is 3 year warranty and 3 year part upgrade service). I would be paying these assholes 979.00 to build the computer over what I could buy the parts for myself off of PC Part Picker. The great thing about the PC though is the case is only 13x11x4. I could carry it around in my back pack.

Really? But the 295x2 was a great card I thought? Always read good on it, a 495x2 sounds like it would be sick and be great for 4K.

I mean Dual Fury X's in theory would be legit, XFX Fury X is on sale for $399 right now and produces 100FPS+ at 4K, but would also have to upgrade PSU as that would require 800w+.

May be able to get by until early 2017 with a single Fury X at 4K, not playing big triple A games much as is, Battlefield 1 won't be great on it but DX12/Vulkan will help a lot there as well. I would think 50FPS on medium to high settings, and I'd be fine with that.

why would it be hard to build vs having a $4k machine delivered?

Anyone wanna take a guess at what kinda hardware is in a slot machine? Was playing some video slots last night when the thought occurred to me. Would Google but I would rather make you do it for me.
