Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 519 Old Huang Who Doesn't Squeeze Toothpaste

Soon everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

After all, Battlefield 4 multiplayer mode ran smoothly at over 70 frames per second on the big screen.

Keep in mind that even the previous generation flagship could only maintain a stable frame rate of around 60 frames per second.

"Holy crap, this is a game-changing card, I have to use it."

"Why don't you take a look at the 980ti Pro?"

"It's already expensive, and now Nvidia has added a Pro version. Do you really think we can afford it?"

"That seems to be true. I reckon the prices for these two graphics cards will be huge when they're announced later."

"That's right!"

Just as these gamers began to celebrate, another group of users looked at the big screen with some concern...

With such strong gaming performance, it should be a great help to them, right?

But the old man seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, so he suddenly stopped in his tracks:

"This generation of GTX 980 is a comprehensive upgrade, so it's not just for gaming. For content creators, CUDA general computing performance is improved by 75%, and video rendering speed is almost twice as fast."

In other words, what used to take 5 hours to complete, this generation of GTX 980 can save in 3 hours, or even less.

Some short video bloggers were instantly tempted when they saw this data!

After all, time is money for them.

Seeing this, everyone suddenly felt their wallets were in danger...

Their promotional material originally said that Lao Huang was reaping the benefits of game players, but unexpectedly, Lao Huang reaped the benefits of everyone!

But Lao Huang's smile on stage clearly hadn't disappeared:

"For users with computing power needs..."

On stage, Lao Huang didn't utter the word "mining," but the hash power data for Bitcoin and Litecoin was clearly displayed on the screen:

The GTX 980's hash rate reaches 850 KH/s, more than double that of the previous generation GTX 780's 380...

Not only did the mining users in the audience become restless, but the reporters present also stirred up a commotion.

After all, the cryptocurrency market has surged recently, and the computing power of a graphics card directly determines the payback period.

With the computing power of the GTX 980, not only gamers and video creators, but also miners will absolutely be scrambling to get their hands on it.

Hopefully, the industry's production capacity will be sufficient this time; otherwise... it will definitely be a godsend for secondhand dealers.

Just when everyone thought that Nvidia would immediately announce the price of the GTX 980, Nvidia suddenly smiled, shook its head, and said the words everyone was waiting for:

"One more thing"

Under the watchful eyes of all the tech enthusiasts, Lao Huang once again pulled a palm-sized chip out of his pocket, accompanied by a close-up shot from the director.

You can clearly see the GeForce logo on the chip!

At this moment, in front of all the gamers, this is the real woman.

As for the GTX 980 from earlier? If you don't recognize it, go away. Where did this wild girl come from?

But at the same time, they were also very afraid of Lao Huang's incremental upgrades, which were just...

"We know that many enthusiasts are not satisfied with the performance of a standard flagship model."

They want stronger combat power, higher frequency, and a more ultimate experience, and are willing to spend more money.

So we prepared him…”

Four huge letters slowly appeared on the screen: GTX980TiPro.

Several more players were tempted by the name again, but they also heard Lao Huang mention more money earlier.

I reckon this card will have an outrageous premium!

But just as they were hesitating about whether to buy this overpriced product, a series of numbers appeared on the stage:

"Fully powered Maxwell Pro cores, 2816 stream processors."

The core base frequency is 1326MHz, and the boost frequency can reach 1410MHz.

Although it features 4GB of TFS storage, its performance remains excellent.

The wealthy guys who initially thought it was just a minor upgrade to toothpaste were relieved after hearing these specifications; Old Huang had actually come through this time...

After all, apart from the lack of improvement in video memory, everything else seemed quite good. But just as they were in awe, Huang once again touted the processor's powerful performance:

"Compared to the previous generation GTX 780, its overall gaming performance has improved by 126%."

"Can all AAA titles maintain a stable 60+ FPS at 4K resolution and highest graphics settings?"

4K full frame rate.

These four words instantly made everyone hesitate, and they looked at the big screen in disbelief.

Before this, 4K gaming was something that could only be barely touched by dual flagship graphics cards, but now a single card can do it?

Could it be that only if these game developers put pressure on him will Huang (the founder of Nvidia) be able to come up with something better?

While watching the live stream, Xiao Wang suddenly had a bold idea: why not bet some of the game money himself…

It would be best to prove yourself.

Ultimately, he and Shen Fei are roughly the same age, but Shen Fei has become the world's richest man, while he...

We can't just coast along like this, waiting to die!

He also wanted to start his own business and prove himself.

Shen Fei had no idea that the news Lao Huang casually mentioned at the press conference would actually cause... He wondered if Lao Wang would hate him later.

At the press conference, Huang Renxun had already explained the more detailed parameters.

We abandoned the 2D test footage of 4K resolution games.

With the highest graphics settings and Head & Shoulders effects enabled, Tomb Raider 9 can maintain a stable average frame rate of 68 frames per second.

With all effects turned on, the Last Light of the Subway can run at an average of 59 frames per second, which is considered a full frame rate.

"In addition, general computing performance is improved by 150%."

In terms of computing power, it has broken through 1.6MH/s.

Although Lao Fang spoke casually, it instantly made everyone in the mining community's various chat groups uneasy.

After all, one card has the computing power of four cards in the past, but the power consumption is only 250W.

For miners, this isn't a graphics card; it's a money-printing machine.

For the next two mobile processors, Huang only gave a brief introduction before moving on to the final pricing stage.

However, considering the price of these two cards, Lao Huang decided to lay the groundwork first, just in case things went wrong later...

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable walking alone at night.

"We talked about the price increase of the new card before and during the press conference."

As you all saw in the entry-level version, prices have indeed increased significantly, and our high-end flagship phones are no exception to this market trend.

The audience in the audience had already started cursing, and the chat in the online live stream was even more lively.

"I knew the price had gone up, so I definitely can't afford it. I guess I'll just stick to a mid-range card."

"However, considering this performance, a price increase of a few hundred yuan is not a problem."

"If the price really went up by a few hundred yuan, your Uncle Huang wouldn't be playing the emotional card with you like this."

I'd estimate it'll start at least at 1000!

"Damn it... It's one thing to prey on low-end users, but are you going to try and squeeze them out of high-end users too? Aren't the premiums high enough already?"
