Nvidia: what I want to share with you will redefine the future of gaming.

[pete910]

To do what exactly?

Sure, AMD has Mantle, but DirectX12 is basically taking what Mantle has done and making it platform independent.

snip...

Really! Never knew DX12 was going to be available on Mac and *nix too

I'm sure AMD would never stoop to such a level in the minds of some people on this forum though.

To compare it to the 970, like you wanted to arbitrarily, would be if AMD didn't announce the problem, got found out months later and then tried to pass the buck repeatedly till finally forced to admit what they did. Again they shipped and enforced a situation where EVERY motherboard and bios enabled the fix by default which hurt the perception of the chip even though 99.99999% of programs home users would use would never run into this bug. That is the complete opposite of hiding it.

I guarantee this announcement will not redefine the future of gaming.

Jensen will reveal only the second GPU in history to be made almost entirely of wood

 

[Bonjour]

Admittedly, that would redefine the future of gaming.

Pretty much my first thought.

I reckon less impact than the Wii

Classic distraction technique.

Don't look at my left hand, which is covered in poo and flipping our customers the bird. Look at my right hand, it's got sparkles.

I'm hoping for a range of edible "Breakfast GPUs". Game till you're hungry and then treat yourself to one of our range of bacon flavoured PCBs, plucked fresh from your case.

Or perhaps a selection of nVidia-themed coffins, with built-in Shield tablets, for those who wish to game in the afterlife.

No need to be a **** about it. Let's face it: 95% of people on Steam are using Windows. Windows is what really matters in PC gaming. Let's be honest now: most devs will only develop for Mac and Linux if the engine they are using happens to support it. Otherwise, they don't and generally won't care. So really, you're just being awkward for the sake of being awkward.

A lavish free for all press event to say thank you to the likes of Toms Hardware who have chosen to turn a blind eye to the 970 fiasco?

 

[SkeeterUK]

Wonder if its tied with Microsoft's holo tech thing.

They've invented the flux capacitor.

SLI technology that treats multiple GPUs as a single gpu eliminating the need for driver profiles etc?...we can dream

Is it possibly something to do with NVLink? Collaboration with IBM for Pascal architecture or an operating system to take advantage of NVLink?

Jen-Hsun Huang has grown a beard.

A new way to do multi-GPU would really get me interested.

Maybe it took 5 years for Nvidia hackers to steal the secrets from Intel's vault? You know it's languishing there in the LucidLogix directory...
