In a world where gaming is not just entertainment rather an obsession, we're always excited about new GPUs. And this week we want your undivided attention on NVidia's latest releases: The GTX 980 and the GTX 970. Do they feature revolutionary GPU technology with a huge performance boost? No. Are they better than ever? Definitely.
Overview: New Maxwell chips which result in lower-power consumption. Better structure suitable for small, compact systems (living room PCs for instant), better display for 4k monitors, better graphics (obviously) and better gaming experience.
Features:
DSR:  Dynamic Super Resolution was quite the amazing feat. It's not entirely new but what changes things hugely is that with the new GPUs, this is available for any game even if there isn't a built-in option for it. DSR enables you to run games at 4k resolution on a 1080p display.
MFAA: Multi Frame-Sampled Anti-Aliasing is the "mantra" behind achieving more with less. "This lets the game to be played at 4x MSAA at with the performance cost of 2x MSAA.  Being particularly great for comparatively low-end PCs, where you'll able to achieve 4x MSAA with the power of 2x MSAA and enjoy better visual effects.
DirectX 12: The GTX 980 and GTX 970 is Nvidia's peek at the future. For details check our Sept. 8, 2014 issue of BYTES/
VXGI: Voxel Global Illumination, simply put, is a new illumination algorithm that results in photo-realistic graphics. Nvidia showed off this feature by recreating the famous moon landing scene which debunked the "myth" of a fake lunar voyage. Look it up, you'll see how mind-blowingly realistic that photo is.
VR Direct: Targeted towards making the VR experience perfect, Nvidia focused on the latency problem we've been facing. HMDs till now never really eliminated this entirely. But with Asynchronous Ward, Nvidia brought this down to a "very little to no" ratio.
Now, at the core of everything mentioned above, is the new Maxwell chip- GM204. This is indeed a leap from the previous Kepler architecture. The new chip boasts of better clocks, increased transistor density, increased max resolution and HDMI 2.0 for 4K at 60 Hz. Priced at Tk. 28,000/- and Tk. 44,000/- (Appx.) respectively, the GTX 970 and the GTX 980 both feature 4 gigabytes of VRAM. If we take “performance for value” into consideration then these are pretty good deals and so we don't see the point of hesitating.
Happy shopping people!
