Geforce GTX Titan - First Pics & True Specs

From early specs, looks more liike an $599 card rather than a $899. I see a second price fixing lawsuit in the works for Nvidia. IMO, strictly MO, the 600 series was price gouging for what those cards were "leaked" to be. Then this "Turd" not "titan" is dropped on us with lesser perfornance of 680 SLI'ed? And ding dongs everywhere are ready to drop a house payment on this bastard??? God this is why we need a really strong 3rd party in the graphics department.:mad:

I'm glad that I bought the second 660 instead. I game at 1200p @ 60Hz so the Titan wasn't geared towards me.
But, comparing the performance numbers, my 660s(used) achieved the same performance for $350.

For those that game at higher resolutions and refresh rates, could benefit from this card.
But don't rush sell your 670s/680s/7950s/7970s. Give it deep thought before doing so.

I don't get anywhere near 60 stable FPS in BF3 or Crysis 3 fully maxed on 1 7970 @1440p, I consider it worth the upgrade *IF* it's in the right price category. If they come out with some ridiculous price I'm just going to give a big F you middle finger to Nvidia and stay on team Red for a good while.

I hear ya.

When I said 7970s, I meant 7970 CF setups.
I'm sure you can just add another for $300-350.

You'll beat the pants off the Titan and save a few hundred.

Well he did say strong...

Intel holds 60% of the market share in graphics chip shipments, it's just that their focus is on integrated solutions instead of discrete like nVidia and AMD. There were rumors of Intel buying out nVidia but it didn't happen.

Clearly market share wasn't what he was referring to when he said "strong 3rd party".

I know what he meant but he also simply stated a strong third party in the graphics department and strength is measured by market share, not how fast a video card is :p.

Strength can be measured by whatever metric one wants. He could have been talking about a tug of war competition. But we all know what he really meant.

There is really no hack. I'm not talking about taking a Titan and flashing it. There are certain features exclusive to the Quadro driver cards however that is not all.

For Adobe CS6 for example, you will get more performance out of a 480/580 than their 6XX and Quadro equivalents (Quadro 6000 equivalent to a 470 at a lower clock with 6GB of memory. For fun, look up how much a Quadro 6K cost.)

Any 4XX/5XX series performs so much better than NVidia's current line up. For Cuda the two things holding this card back from a K20 is the tesla driver that frees up the card from operating system, the ECC ram, and the unlocked double precisions. (For Quadro it's the 10-bit out for some expensive specialty monitors.)

For CUDA programming you will be able to advantage at all the latest CUDA library with this GPU in addition to having that 6GB of memory.Make no mistake, 580s are still bought today for that reason. People buy up those FERMI cards especially those wanting to get into compute. The Titan GPU was developed with compute as a priority. There is nothing wrong in buying a Geforce FERMI for Cuda. Yes, the Tesla's are designed to run in servers stably for extended periods of times. That's not the same use case for a workstation or someone learning CUDA at home.

This thing will smoke anything from NVidia's line up but it's tesla offering. That is, unless NVidia found another way to cripple the card even more so. Double precision is important but not absolutely depending on the use case.


I will be trying to buy a Titan and getting straight to work on CUDA. It's expensive however it's cheaper than a K20 and worth it for my resume.

Erm, I think you are responding to the wrong person!! I am the guy that said people would buy the Titan to use for Cuda.

And yes the Fermi cards are much better for compute than the 6xx cards, because the Fermi cards are full compute, the only thing reduced is the DP. In the 6xx cards, the compute is seriously gimped.

I know the GK110 is a compute part and hence the Titan will be great for those home users who don't want to spend $1000's on a workstation card. I have been saying this all along.

Yup. Pretty much the same thing I said in the first place about this thing.

The 4GB GTX 680 cards sell for $570-600 on Newegg, Titan has 6GB VRAM to go along with a 35-50%+ performance gain and it's a CUDA monster. It's definitely worth $699-$799.

Since when has video card pricing and performance scaled linearly?
Click to expand...

That is very true!! I still want 3 of these to replace 3 7970s I'm running, I plan on selling 2 7970s and 2 6970s I'm using in another machine ( put one of my 7970s in there ) and it should soften the blow a bit.

It's only price fixing if more than one company is involved in collusion. Otherwise it is just price setting. And since AMD has no counter, they can, and will, set the price wherever they want.

not if he overclocks the cpu to 4~4.4ghz
Click to expand...
yes that will help quite a bit but I am looking at his current oc. and even at 4.4 his cpu is not going to let him stay above 120 fps if that is his goal for getting nearly 2000 bucks in gpus. in a couple poorly optimized games, he would not even stay above 60fps the whole time. nothing anybody can do about that though but I would certainly oc that cpu past the 3.6 he has before dropping that much money on gpus.

Reviews are coming Feb 19-20. Offical launch Feb 21.
Click to expand...

I thought the official launch was today?...with the NDA being lifted today as well?...oh well...hopefully some official reviews start popping up tomorrow
 
I just want something more than my single GTX670... I should have gotten in on another when the deals were going around, or picked up a GTX680. Now prices are back close to MSRP. I got lucky and paid MSRP for my card close to launch, but I won't pay that again.

TLDR: NVIDIA, make it less than $500
 
How well would SLI 660 (~$439) or SLI 660Ti (~$579) stack up against Titan?
 
I'll wait for an [H] review or something be for I make any final judgements.
 
Chiphell has posted more information and images of what they claim is NVIDIA's upcoming Titan GPU. Who knows how correct the information is but, as always, it is fun just to speculate. I snagged these images for those of you that can't access the site and before they end up getting pulled.

You know... :p

Does this mean Titan SLI is slower than GTX 690?
 
680 was supposed to be a mid range card so nvidia should drop the prices to match a mid range card, and have Titan as high end which is in the $599 range.
 
*sigh* the worst part will be waiting for waterblocks :p

hopefully I get can 3 at launch

I was excited about this card at the rumored 75-90% of the GTX690 speed.

At 40-50% faster than a 680, it better be a lot cheaper than $899.
Click to expand...

The math fail is big on this one.

Imagine a GTX680 is 100 points of performance, and a GTX690 is 190 points. If the Titan is supposed to be 75-90% of the GTX690 performance, this means that Titan will fare between 135 and 171 points.

Also, if Titan is 40-50% faster than a 680, this puts it at 140-150 points.

Its clear as a day that both figures collide in a wide margin just there :rolleyes:

Not another math-fail there... jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

How the heck a Titan tri-SLI is faster than GTX690 quad sli and a Titan SLI can lose against a single GTX690?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
I plan on getting this, I hope it's a good upgrade from my GTX480.

Although my CPU will be a terrible bottleneck, it's a q9550 3.7!!!
