How do you figure titan was 7.1 Billion.
Anand states only a 12.5% increase.

Then again, they have 2 Titan blacks in their spec sheet...
Cool, but stupidly expensive, $1000-1350.
390x's are probably going to be $750'ish and just 1 of those is going to be close to a Titan X performance based on early benchmarks. Or even more performance.
So a 395x2 towards end of year will obliterate this card and cost $1500 instead of $2400+ avg. for two of these.
I'm an Nvidia fan though, so this is disturbing news. This thing needs to cost $750 tops to compete with 390x. If it can't cost that low, then it shouldn't have been 12GB. 8GB would have been fine.
People say 4GB of HBM mem on the 390x's isn't enough, but that's a new type of memory with extreme bandwidth, so we need to see in depth reviews of it to see if 4GB of HBM is actually = to 6-8 of GDDR.

If the above was true, there is no single viable reason to get a 980 anymore for any reason, unless 980's fall in price to say around $450 or less.
If NVIDIA did put the Titan X at $600 and then dropped 980 to say $350 or less, 970 to $250 it would probably be time to say goodbye to AMD forever. Their 24% market share would plummet to about 10% and they'd be ruined. I'm honestly surprised that a cash flush NVIDIA hasn't done that already. Is there a reason they might need AMD to stick around?
Running around a track by yourself get rather boring plus people in the stands will just leave. Racing around the track with a competitor whipping their ass is way more fun plus entertaining to the viewers. AMD has some stuff coming out, hopefully it will be exciting.
Sell your child... lol
Or wait a while and get it used.
My source says it's going to be released at $300. At least I'll give my source though; it's my wife and I asked her how much she thought a ludicrously priced video card is.
This thread is utterly comical. So many "insiders." Let's all calm down and wait a week as Nvidia is notorious for announcing and then trickling out details fairly quickly.

What I was told was accurate regarding the 960 release.
There will be a Titan X, a Titan, and 980 Ti coming soon. So whatever you want to believe go for it and continue to be a douche. I am not an insider, just have a friend that works for Nvidia that does a lot of work preparing product launches on the marketing end.
I think Samsung would buy AMD out before AMD went under and that would be trouble for Nvidia because Samsung can make the hardware for cheaper since they manufacturer their own chips and memory. Nvidia needs to outsource. So I think Nvidia wants to keep AMD around.
We will never see a Titan for $600. I wish we could, but I think the last "cheap" Titan was the Titan Black. Unless they surprise us with releasing this Titan X at $1000, I highly doubt it though.
So did your insider friend give you a release date on 980 Ti?
Then there's also OC headroom (which I doubt 390x will have much to spare) and power usage which puts 390x out of reach for ITX users.
I didnt ask, I basically confirmed with him that I am too poor to buy one of the new cards coming out.
More reasonable price?
Not a bad reason, strange you missed it.
Titan at $600??
If you believe that you are on crack or crazy.
I expect the price to lie in the range of $1,200.
The Titan is the type of luxury item for which if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
that article a month or two back has been right on the money about the specs (and name) of the card thus far, so i'm just going to assume the price of $1350 was correct as well. yes, you're paying a premium. is it a waste of money? not to me. if you can't afford it, that sucks.
I can afford it, I'm just not going to pay the kind of price (and never will) for a card that will be surpassed by a cheaper one in 6-8 months. I draw the line at anything that far over common sense.

A paper mention?
Yeah, a 980 has 5.2B so Titan X is a 52% increase. I only compare the same architectures... Comparing to Kepler is kinda silly.
The smart thing is waiting for a 980ti that'll probably be 6GB and a lot cheaper. Titan X would be tempting at the normal $1k. If it's 1.35k that's way too far off the value curve for me. Even 1k would be pushing it...
looks like a console in that pic...
Is there any confirmation that this is a single GPU card? Because, well, 12GB of VRAM for a single GPU seems like an absolute waste right now, imo.
A waste.. for computer games. But then Titans are not really targeted at gamers. Think professional graphics.
