One good reason to buy a Maxwell gpu?

I think one good reason to wait for Maxwell is that it will have h.265 support. You could be watching movies that are half the size at the same quality. I think thats awesome.

Any other reason to buy a Maxwell gpu?

The gpu does not have to have native support to run codecs....

The real reason to for maxwell is its performance per watt ratio and unified virtual memory for cuda.

I doubt it will offer the same quality at half the size, but we'll see. Also, I'm sure most CPUs will be able to run h.265 decodes with ease.

I hope it does though. My internets slow. That could help a lot in watching live streams. But it will be many years till everyone is using h.265.

i can fit every movie i've ever encoded on 1 external hard drive... h264 is more then enough compression size.... theres noway im re-encoding all my blu-rays again to save on a few gigs. i doubt it would be half the size of h264 anyways. you can only compress so far. i have old winace compression program from 13 years ago which compresses almost as well as the newest versions of winrar or 7zip. compression only can go so far.

@nicecall:

I've got 9TB and soon i will have 13.(getting another 4tb hdd)

Movie size is of no concern to me.In fact the bigger the better.
