Last Minute Telegrams: HD 6900 Series, OG GTX Titan
Added 2020-04-20 16:21:42 +0000 UTCSoon we will record a couple of Die Shrinks discussing the HD 6900 series (we will touch on Fermi & the 6870 as well), and also the Original GTX Titan.
Any thoughts you had at the time of these product launches when you were around back then? Any questions about these products due to not paying attention to these products almost a decade ago?
Put your Telegrams below - be specific, insightful, and use good grammar. We look forward to talking about these products :).

A great and legendary graphics series at it's time.

Never understood the meme about can it run crisis because that card crushed crisis and had no idea about benchmarks etc back then was more interested in just playing games.

2020-04-20 17:39:17 +0000 UTCGiven that the 6900 series was already messy, as it was semi-pulled back from 32nm, do you believe that the move to VLIW4 was done because they planned to move to GCN, or was purely an attempt to maximize the performance per die of their previous VLIW5? I was around and watching computer hardware at the time, but I don't recall hearing anything about it being an inbetween, either during 6900, or GCN launches. [joke] Do either of you foresee woodscrew technology returning to high end GPUs? [/joke]
