The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 Review: Maxwell Makes Its Move
by Ryan Smith & Ganesh T S on February 18, 2014 9:00 AM ESTCrysis 3
Still one of our most punishing benchmarks, Crysis 3 needs no introduction. With Crysis 3, Crytek has gone back to trying to kill computers and still holds “most punishing shooter” title in our benchmark suite. Only in a handful of setups can we even run Crysis 3 at its highest (Very High) settings, and that’s still without AA. Crysis 1 was an excellent template for the kind of performance required to drive games for the next few years, and Crysis 3 looks to be much the same for 2014.

They are waiting for 20nm for the entire 800 series .MugatoPdub - Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - link
Interestingly, it seems Nvidia has simply followed Intel in the "mobile first" market race, it is starting to feel as if the enthusiast will be left in the dust within the next few years =(Krysto - Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - link
Not likely, thanks to the boom in VR that we'll be seeing, which at 4k and 120fps games, will require 16x the performance we get now for games, just to play the same games, in a few years.So if anything, Nvidia should be making GPU's at the high-end that are a level or two ABOVE Titan (think 20-30 TF GPUs in 2015).

They probably will? I'm guessing we won't see stuff below the top end (or SLI) targeted at 4K until late 2015/spring 2016, though.madmilk - Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - link
I doubt enthusiasts will be left behind, simply because HPC users will demand a 225W Tesla card. That in turn can easily sold as a 250W enthusiast card, perhaps under the Titan line.Mondozai - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - link
Also, Nvidias desktop business is contributing to their profits and is seeing revenue growth. Their Tegra business revenue is falling almost 50% year over year.The desktop high-end GPU market will grow in good health for years to come. Their discrete laptop GPUs, however, will face doom in a relativeley short period of time as integrated GPUs performance rises to a level when most people are satisfied. Laptops specifically for gaming continues to be an unsignificant market.

madVR NNEDI3 uses OpenCL, and works fine on Intel and AMD boards. NVIDIA OpenCL support has been broken for the last couple of driver iterations. Please use your influence with the NVIDIA developers to get this fixed in the next driver release.IKeelU - Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - link

Wow! .. Substantially faster than 260x and consuming less than 60w using same process node. Really impressive. I can't wait to see how Maxwell arch performance & power scale at 20nm. I'm really convinced now that AMD GCN is not as efficient as many reviewers think. AMD will very likely have a hard time in this round.g101 - Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - link
*slower...Almost always slower than the 260x.... , all for power savings in the range of 5-10%...How...exciting?You should try reading the actual words that have been written in the article.
