Kepler Unbeatable: NVIDIA

btarunr · Mar 1, 2012, 03:23 PM

The tiresome wait for NVIDIA's next-generation GPU is drawing to a close. Or so suggests a Facebook wall post by NVIDIA Italy, which reads (in Italian, of course):

Quote:

Aspettando Kepler... pazienza, pazienza, pazienza che il momento giusto arriverà, e allora... non ce ne sarà più per nessuno! :-)

That can be translated as "Waiting for Kepler ... patience, patience, patience, the right time will come, and then ... it will be unbeatable (sic)." From various sources we're hearing that there will be hectic activity surrounding the launch of NVIDIA's next-gen GPU in the weeks to come.

Unbeatable power hungry?

claylomax · Mar 1, 2012, 03:30 PM

I'm confused; I thought we were getting a stopgap card in the next few weeks and then the high end single gpu at the end of the year, what it is then?

JrRacinFan · Mar 1, 2012, 03:30 PM

Unbeatably overpriced? Sorry had to join in.

@Clay

My thoughts also.

even I am one of those person, but thanks to CUDA I am stuck with nVidia GPU's for a long-long time on my development PC atleast.

krisna159 · Mar 1, 2012, 03:43 PM

cmon guys... dont judge something from rumours... just sit back and relax.. and wait the kepler release.. after that you can see and judge... am i right??

WhiteLotus · Mar 1, 2012, 03:45 PM

unbeatable until the next generation comes along.

OneCool · Mar 1, 2012, 04:02 PM

He we go....

Kaynar · Mar 1, 2012, 04:02 PM

OF COURSE it MUST be unbeatable (with a 10-20% difference) if it comes three months after the 7970 otherwise it will be a failure.

TheGuruStud · Mar 1, 2012, 04:04 PM

Sure, Nvidia, and Intel still has that 10 GHz pentium 4 coming.

micropage7 · Mar 1, 2012, 04:05 PM

its just marketing words that makes you asking about it again and again
so far nvidia has better performance over their competitors, but its still interesting to know what nvidia gonna offer to the market

BlackOmega · Mar 1, 2012, 04:08 PM

Unbeatable heat output.

Jizzler · Mar 1, 2012, 04:12 PM

It better be good nVidia!

I don't need dozens of "Kepler sucks!" search results when someone Googles my name.

like hd6970?w saw how hd6900 series beat fermi :lol:

in this time kepler has extremely powerfull sm architecture and much number cuda core's .... so we saw GK107 with 75w beating hd7770 and much power full than hd6850

kepler is clear winner

All this over a Facebook "wall post" by NVIDIA Italy.... really! An italian that knows, reposted by a guy from India really!

Aquinus · Mar 1, 2012, 04:29 PM

Well, the longer it takes for nVidia to release Kepler, the more people will buy a 7000-series AMD video card and the more time AMD has to work on their next GPU line up. nVidia might be taking a long time, but unless they can make their CUDA cores less bulky (they're big in comparison to AMD's shaders,) they're going to keep running into the same problems Fermi ran into.

Remember all the hype for Bulldozer? Hello, Kepler.

That roadmap is so old it shows everything one year ahead.

jpierce55 · Mar 1, 2012, 04:44 PM

Nvidia is trailing far behind from the looks of it, it by all means should beat AMD bad at release just due to the fact the release will be about 6 months from Amd's 8xxx release.
