[desprado]

The Ultimate Is Coming, according to Nvidia and may be it will be a next gen gpu or something else.

4 days to go.

 

[Alatar]

Shield tablet with K1.

 

[Canbacon]

Yea, I agree with Alatar, a Shield tablet is more likely than a new graphics card announcement.

 

[FatherMurphy]

Agreed, a Shield Tablet. For what it is worth, from Fudzilla:

A shield tablet with a 780 Ti and a 12kg leadacid battery.

 

[waffleironhead]

But only coming to the eu?

 

[FatherMurphy]

Can't imagine so. NVIDIA usually launches in North America first, right?

 

[Denithor]

a shield tablet with a 780 ti and a 12kg leadacid battery.

lmfao!

 

[digitaldurandal]

I have been waiting for shield v2 I hope that this is actually what this announcement is. I know they haven't had great success in the tablet and phone market, I was worried they would cancel this project.

 

[dangerman1337]

2 very likely possibilities:

1. Gimmicky marketing crap that no one gives a rat's ass about in a few months.
2. A gaming tablet that will bomb.

If not either then I'll be surprised.

 

[blackened23]

If Maxwell 2nd gen is being launched in Nov as rumored, I doubt this is related. It's probably the Shield tablet with the Tegra K1, if I had to guess.

 

[NTMBK]

Tegra K1 Shield.

 

[wand3r3r]

A gtx-790 which fixes the Titanic-z's flaws (price & performance)?

 

[Ventanni]

It's tenderloin steak and all the dressings you want sandwiched between two Geforce 780 Ti's.

Subway watch out!

 

[Cloudfire777]

Nothing is revealed through the source code.

I was hoping it was like AMD`s teaser of mobile Kaveri 😀

 

[ultimatebob]

I'd bet 1,000 Jesuscoin that it will be a rebadged Titan Z with a $1,500 price tag 🙂

To publish something that is a bit "better" than previous products and then go out of business completely in order to ensure that their ultimate is never surpassed by them.

Or a frisbee.

 

[Cloudfire777]

Look at the background behind the counter. Notice the holes.

Look at this picture of the upcoming Nvidia Shield tablet. Pay attention to the speaker holes...

 

[PPB]

Are they really speaker holes? 😉

 

[Cloudfire777]

Speaker/cooling/design vents 😛

 

[Erenhardt]

Probably fan exhaust 🙂 which points to 1st option from #10

 

[justin4pack]

unlocked phablet?

 

[RussianSensation]

Hardcore 3D gaming on a tablet with a controller? Automatic fail if true. What are we back to 1960s playing with a controller on an 8 inch "TV"? Shield already failed. I would be more excited about K1 in some flagship smartphone for its CPU performance or the next Amazon Kindle.

Trying to compete against Amazon Kindle in the budget/mid-range space and against iPad Air 2 and next gen Mac Mini will be extremely hard since most people could care less about Tablet gaming (is this thing made by HTC too?)

Would have been a huge win if NV got a spot in the next Amazon Kindle HDX. If this is made by HTC, it also a strange decision since they are struggling in the smartphone space and in the tablet space they are even more irrelevant.

Shield tablet with Tegra K1 and Wireless Controller:

Looks great.

 

[Insomniator]

Looks like a nice tablet, and not expensive by Nvidia standards. I really don't understand the whole tablet gaming thing though-- maybe I'm just too old for it.
