Battlefield 4 in a nutshell:

Pfff...Don't you know anything!?

[Evil Inside]

So who's getting a mini-titan? Personally still waiting on AMD to release or even hint at the 8000 series before I decide.

I was trying to hold out for the 8k series, but my 560Ti burned out and I had to get a 7870 to replace it.

Unfortunate. I'm hoping my cards will hold out. If not I might get a 700 series card.

If the 512 bit membus rumours about the HD8000-series hold true (which I doubt), yikes!. That's the one I'll be getting.
But meh, I have a GTX 680, and I'm fine for now. Since the plan still is to buy three new monitors though, I'd really appreciate the extra memory bandwidth.

old news
got a possible buyer who wants to pick it up saturday but not 100% yet. (i should know later tonight)

[Evil Inside]

I wonder if my cards will be able to do eyefinity once I get this new monitor, just for the lols.

You should've just bought another titan.

im going SLI now for 300 euro added cost once the titan is sold. (if buyer shows up)
way cheaper compared to spending another grand.

I kinda wish there was an ITX board with an x16 slot and an x1 slot so I could have kept my Xonar.

That unfortunately won't work in a Prodigy chassis

[BicycleMafioso]

Well, that's your fault for not being specific then!
And for getting that case.

But it's adorable!!

Wow, flipping the GPU like that makes it so much cooler Oo

Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have adopted electronics and an integrated systems-on-a -chip (soc) architecture that unleashes magnitudes more compute and graphics power than the current generation of consoles. These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market and their unique design of the hardware, the underlying operating system and the live service layer create one of the most compelling platforms to reimagine game mechanics.

Need to buy me one of these!

In seriousness, one generation ahead as in, architecture yet to be released for consumers of hardware? Sure. But that's not the way it's phrased.
I'd be in no way surprised if it performed at least 20% better than a straight conversion to PC would suggest (and even better past a few years of optimisation) due to ease of optimisation, GDDR5 share resources and direct software/hardware communication, but the way the statemen is phrased, eh.

[Asera]

I like how they both use AMD chips, that gives me hope that games will run on AMD silicon on par with Intel chips on desktops once again, if not simply due to lazy straight ports from the consoles to Windows.

On the topic of the GTX 780...

If in two weeks from now I still have a 780 bug (I do like the sound of it...) I'll be ordering one. Hopefully EVGA will release a Classified Signature whatever-silly-named-one that has 6GB of VRAM like Cyanotical had been suggesting...

Then I'd really have a good reason to save for a 1440p monitor. :P

[BicycleMafioso]

6GiB might actually be a bit of a stretch, but it will make more use out of it than the 680/670 did a 4GiB config. Just not sure it's more than 20-40% of the additional memory though. I'd personally stick with the 3GiB anyway.
