IMO AMD is starting to fall behind Nvidia pretty bad, especially when it comes to high end rigs where you really have to know about airflow or you will really screw your system up. Pretty puzzling that Nivida can make more powerful cards that run cooler while AMD makes more powerful cards that might need 14amps just to power on...

Funny because AMD used to be the lowered power, price/performance king. Maxwell is gonna shake up AMD's stock unless they got a card up their sleeves.

I think the whole mining scene will have AMD comfortable for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately whenever a company gets comfortable thats usually when problems start to arise...you got people using box fans and all sorts of crazy setups just to get the most hash possible on their card purchases...shyt looks like a server room after a while with all that cooling that has to be put in there.

A 790 will come out sooner or later once Nvidia is finished fishing for the idiots.

what would you expect the 790 to be though? two 'lesser' gk110 chips and less memory (than the Titan Z)?

im expecting Nvidia to come out with a 790 (2x 780) and a 790TI (2x 780TI) before 800 series comes out

The 790TI would basically be a Titan Z, so they're not gonna make that

I expected a 790, but I don't think they are gonna go that route anymore. I think they'll continue to push the Titan Z and 780ti.

titanZ is dual titan blacks though so a 790TI would just be a gimped titanZ ........ :lolbron:



so they're not gonna make that

The titan blacks are barely better than the 780ti though. The titan black is kinda a pos




For real. Nvidia's been real into the money making fukkery recently....:smh:



I blame AMD though, nah fukk that. I blame mining. It's gonna raise the costs of all cards. :to:

I'm just speculating but that's what I'd expect or perhaps they don't care about releasing a dual card strictly for gaming with the 700 series. What Titan cards have going for them is there double precision performance which is gimped on the rest of the GK110s. Benefits the compute crowd who work with cuda based applications, not beneficial in the slightest bit to gamers but that won't stop some from buying them for just that.

i'm trying to purchase the new Borderlands 2 DLC and i keep getting this error:

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

never got this before, could it be because too many people are trying to buy it at the same time?

BTW, I've got that error before. Just try back in a few hours. Steam is probably fukking up

Edit: just saw this was from yesterday. You probably already solved the problem
