    Glad to see some proof that my wait of at least 3 years (and all that slogging to make sure my NP8170 is still usable) is not in vain!

    And it will feel so good once you get a replacement. Should be a nice upgrade whatever you go with. :)

    Thanks! Now just waiting for the right time (and earning enough) to get it!

    Will be a real nice bonus if somehow the NP8170 can benefit from these too; right now it seems more sound for me to have another laptop as my spare computer rather than a Q6600 rig (which I currently have at hand; may open separate thread to discuss this in future)

    a 1080(M) or 1070(M) in my P771DM-G and i have almost my Desktop Performance now, just give me a 120-144hz Display (TN prefered, don't do design etc but i like the lower latency from TN) too for my book and i can dump my Desktop for good :p

    Technically speaking can the full-size desktop 1080 pull 4K at 120Hz though? I never got an answer to this.

    Yeah, I think some of the benchmarks I've seen were 40 to 70ish frames on a lot of games, depending on the game. Running at 1440p would still look better than 1080, and be higher frame rates.

    This video has a pretty good list of games that they benchmarked in 4k and 1440p, as well as comparisons to other graphics cards.

    well looking forward then i really pray that i can upgrade my NB tho and not have to sell mine and buy a newer model again, sadly my circle of friends already got equipped with my previous models i used and sadly they still work :D, i love the P7xx Series but if e.g. the newer cards aren't working or a newer display due to BIOS compatibility again well then yeah i get a bit more than upset :p

    But hey, the moment they can release these stuff, which is undoubtedly made with much hard work and effort, is one of the best moments they will ever have :)

    (I know that feel; was in a similar situation but of course, not about hardware...)

    I believe talking about the NDA end date is one of those things included in the NDA not to talk about.

    Nvidia will let you know when people can talk about the release date of any future cards as they will be shouting it themselves :)

    The first rule of NDA is: you do not talk about NDA.

    Tell me about it, the pressure ;-) Computex was pretty successful though and there's good things to come, all will be revealed soon (ish)!!! To be honest the worst part if often knowing everything but having to keep by nouth shut, only for information to be purposefully leaked by people who aren't directly under NDA!

    As other's said, the NDA includes marketing dates, promotion dates, sale date, product information and everything else.

    Showing off anything new would require a launch from intel, nothing was shown for an X99 machine, you would expect it to be.

    Oh. I can imagine the pain of having a 120HZ gsync screen but struggling to get enough FPS to utilize it.

    Anything over 60 fps is still going to be an improvement. Might not be able to push all 120 fps on newer games at 1080, and not 4K, but it would definitely help less demanding games run very smooth. But it also depends on how powerful graphics cards would be.

    Erm, Kaby Lake is the CPU, not the GPU (that's where Pascal/Polaris come in) though

    The point is that there will always be something round the corner if you keep waiting for next big thing.
    By the time Kaby Lake comes out, you could think to wait for Vega, by the time Vega comes out, you could wait for GP100/GP102 then for Cannon lake then volta and so on.

    You have to decide what is your cut off time and go ahead with whats available at that time.

    Generally your own purchasing cycle can remain constant, there are just a few points in time where it makes sense to shift it. Mostly this happens around GPU launches rather than CPU launches.

    For getting a large leap it's not a bad length of time, especially if you get an extended warranty.
