People who would like to see Samsung create a high powered Gaming GPU for PCs will likely be disappointed, as Samsung will most likely only build GPUs for the mobile market to compete with the like of Nvidia's K1.
So they are making their own GPU for their mobile products, im just wondering if this has anything to do with the current patent war betwen NVidia VS Qualcomm+Samsung.
oh they are? is that why their top end GPU is slaughtered by the competitions top end GPU? Is that why to get top performance we now have to pay upwards of 1000 dollars?
Please, the competition is in name only. Either collusion is going on or AMD is a completely inept company. Samsung buys AMD and they lose their x86 license because its not transferable.
I'd rather see a third major player in the desktop graphics industry than the unhealthy duopoly we're in now. What makes Samsung interesting is that they own their own Fabs rather than being at the mercy in the likes of TSMC & GlobalFoundries. And Nvidia's recent sparking litigation just shows how scared they are to up against a new contender, especially one with in house manufacturing capabilities.

Could you point me to benches or anything showing a 290x being slaughtered by a 780 ti?
Because from everything i've been reading around, the 290x is generally the better buy
I'm legitimately curious, cause i've been thinking of upgrading to a 780ti or 290x and better cpu when the maxwell cards come out, and i've seen nothing to suggest that one or the other card is being slaughtered by the other
Unless your talking about the 295x2 vs one of the Titans
Sorry for off topic
OnT: Samsung getting into the desktop GPU market would be kinda cool
Mobile gaming and media consumption is not only the future, it is the now. Those that would scoff at Samsung and it just being 'lolmobile' do so at their own risk.

So many people i know that ask me to help them pick out a gaming computer want laptops, desktops really are becoming less common for 'average' gamers in my experience, next it'll be phones
Of course theyll also follow that up with "But i don't want to spend more than 1000 USD, i want it to play everything on high though"

Riptide in-bound.
On the desktop gpu debate:
-What does the graphics card do? Render.
-Which card has 4gb vram?
-Which of them support a higher resolution in multi-gpu, then?
That extra single GB of vram could mean the difference between equal performance at 1920x1080p(16:9) and 2560x1080p(21:9).
Better example: "...or rather 4K and 5K".
Uhhhhhhhhhhh. The 295x2 is exactly the price of 2 290x's right now and it is the same speed if not faster than a titan z... I don't really understand what you are saying.
I've never understood such ferocious loyalty or hatred over one's choice of graphical processing unit. It's a particular piece of computer hardware specializing in parallel calculations and image output. Not worth this sort of division.
Seriously? You're attitude coming into this entire thread was pretty rude and confrontational. The 295x2 is the top end for AMD and the Titan Z is the NVIDIA equivalent. Which is the better buy? No competition.
Going back to the discussion at hand, if this is why NVIDIA has picked up on litigation against Samsung I'm really interested to find out the finer details of Samsung's plans and what/how NVIDIA knows about them and what they see as being patent infringement.
Who cares about what side you're on. I buy the best bang for the buck!
