mostly extra optimizations
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx

• Shader tracing and compiler enhancements
• Direct3D device sharing
• Check support of new Direct3D 11.1 features and formats
• Create larger constant buffers than a shader can access
• Use logical operations in a render target
• Force the sample count to create a rasterizer state
• Process video resources with shaders
• Change subresources with new copy options
• Discard resources and resource views
• Support a larger number of UAVs
• Bind a subrange of a constant buffer to a shader
• Retrieve the subrange of a constant buffer that is bound to a shader
• Clear all or part of a resource view
• Map SRVs of dynamic buffers with NO_OVERWRITE
• Use UAVs at every pipeline stage

yeah agree, but there is a rumor it might be only DX11.0.. Idk could be just some sour joke, like most Kepler leaks xD

This maybe a rumor, i'm not sure. It does say that Kepler will support DX11.1

So apparently they're still calling these "CUDA cores", in which case I can't wait to see how they compare to Fermi. Also, looks like these cards could be some good OpenCL performers too.

yeah i saw one leak that said GK104 has ~4.3tflops vs ~1.6tflops (stock 580gtx)


That's a lot of powah, 7970 has ~ 3.8tflops.. although one gpu expert said GK104 has "only" 3.25tflops at 1058mhz / 1536cores.


For example that U3E dx11 Samaritan needs at least 2.5tflops maxed..

I wasn't sure how reliable it is. It is hard to know what is and isn't real when it comes to Kepler as Nvidia hasn't released anything yet.

I hope you are allowed to take pics.

too bad nvidia never had another Nvision event like in '08. I was interning in the area and ended up seeing jakup giving away evga swag haha

RushMore1205 from overclocker somehow got GTX 680 in his system 5 weeks before hard launch.



Of course GTX 680 support surround with 1 card, but his stupid useless iphone autocorrected said GTX 680 will not run surround with 1 card.

He benchmarked Heaven in 5760x1080 with everything maxed got 29fps.

After googled found a single Radeon HD 7970 scored about 21fps with everything maxed in 5760x1080.

Also found dual Radeon HD 7970 in crossfire maxed out scored 40fps.



It seemed GTX 680's 192GB are not bandwidth limited in surround resolutions as some are concerned.

v2.5 isn't comparable to v3.0 which I assume he ran. Also, he said he had a special edition of the card, so who knows if its overclocked or what.
