Maybe once it's down to 300 or less.
Do let us know how many of these have been sold in the first three months. I am curious about the brain damage levels on the planet.

Is that right? What did you say about the GTX 980 on your marketing speech again?
Quote: | The first reviews can be found on OCC, PC Perspective, TechReport, HotHardware, Guru3D. |
None of the sites I'd trust with a review.
Ok, maybe one. |

Nah.. with DX12 it should allow games to really shine almost making frames a minor consideration. |

Same.. so far all the benchmarks show the revolution but yeah have to greatly substantiate the hype on this one. |

No Thudo, I don't fall prey to marketing like you clearly do. With age comes wisdom. You might find that out one day. |

Except I feel this time its largely different as they wouldn't hype it like this then fall well below the results shown. I'm betting this will largely be true. |

I'd be impressed with a 25% increase in frames.
Whats happening for years and years now is the h/w is vastly out-stripping the s/w in terms of specs/raw power so its time for a role reversal of sorts. We've had the Ferrari engine under the hood with the lada body for far too long now: its about time we do something about that. |

Overclocking can give you 25% with ease. New driver optimizations give you 8-20%.
I'd be impressed with a >75% increase.
But, only whilst using the same card, same resolution, same level of details in the same game that has been released on DX9 or DX11 well before its DX12 build.
That's the only way to know that you're not being played.
IMHO, they'll release some game's DX9 or DX11 build with no optimizations whatsoever, a highly optimized DX12 build and demo both on a top of the line card. Finally, they brag about the vast improvements DX12 had brought.
No. Release a DX12 build for a game that's already out there with the same hw, setting and so and then show me your "vast" improvements. |

Well I was just talking about just DX12 benefits they are touting without any additional h/w tweaks.
But yeah I'd like to see some sort of backward compatibility so older DX9-11 get some optimizations. |

Well, the raw DX12 benefit should be at least 35%.
DX9 thru DX11 optimizations would be nice for sure.
But, DX builds have never been backwards compatible since DX9.
This is how they intend to sell the ignorant masses the next WinDOS build every time.
Like it or not, it's all about the marketing and through that, the money |
