When you mention reposting, it means you need to include a link. I shared a discussion about this about a day or two ago—it wasn’t a formal news post, just a conversation I heard about.
Maxwell is emerging as a fresh architectural approach, and it's long overdue to highlight its benefits. While the launch has started, Nvidia should focus on developing a more robust "witcher 3 700 series" driver.
These figures seem to validate the observations. The differences in performance between the Maxwell and Kepler cards are greater compared to other titles.
It could be linked to improvements in driver technology. The 960 sometimes lagged behind the 760 in certain scenarios and only slightly surpassed it in others. NVIDIA might be refining drivers for Maxwell; this isn't clear yet, but it's premature to claim they're lowering performance on the 600/700 series just to boost the 900 series. It's not a sign of disrespect, but we lack solid evidence.
