Will there be custom versions of Titan X's at launch? Kind of hoping for something like a Gigabyte G1 version of these.

i don't think there has been custom titans in the past (titan, titan z or titan black). all ref
 
Apparently the Titan X is all about "Deep Learning". Those are the new Nvidia buzzwords. Expect to see it plastered everywhere.
 
AnandTech "leak"

Kinda disappointed no new code name and basically repeat last years slides. Still don't know what Volta's going to be lol and really odd they changed the codenames in the first place.

Meh.
 
I'm following the live blog on Anandtech. The price confirmed has been confirmed as $999, and it looks like a single card might be enough for 4K.
 
finally a semi-worthwhile upgrade from a gtx 780.

Too bad its $999.

Guess ill wait for the GTX 1080 (or whatever its called)
 
That AT leak, why load temp and load noise in FurMark ... how about a real game at 4K or something.
 
I'm skipping this one, waiting for 980 successor. Kinda meh when you look at the full specs.
 
And AT apparently still benches with reference 290X cards. Yes, that will accurately reflect the characteristics of 290X cards you can purchase today. :rolleyes:

Just wait 2 months. Remember Titan was king of the hill for like 2 months then a $350 cheaper GTX 780 came out that overclocked almost equal to its performance with ease. Nvidia is going to pull the same number. I have no sympathy for those who plan on getting burned twice. If you enjoy it on Day 1, fine, just don't bitch when the price drops.

At least this time there's a good chance you wont be burned like even 780 owners were with the price drop a couple months later again because they already dropped the 980.
 
oh god, i do hope that those OC load noise levels are only that high in furmark.

Spoiled by nVidia.. after my (extremely silent 970gtx) i can't go back to noise.. so please put out an aftermarket cooled version.

else, i am gonna have to wait and see what team read delivers (atleast, it should be less noisy)

If you believe the newest batch of AMD rumors, Nvidia might be repeating the 780 Ti this summer (980 Ti). So... I agree with what you're saying but do not expect another "GTX 780" as its already on the market as the GTX 980.
 
It's like no matter what you buy with Nvidia, you'll get burned. Titans owners = burned due to 780. 780 owners = burned due to price slashes. Ti and Black owners = burned due to short window of driver optimization. 970 owners = burned due to 3.5gb. 980 owners = not yet burned.

That's why I buy AMD products, they take 2 years between flagships so the only way to burn myself is to touch my video card.

You don't think 980 owners feel a little burned when they paid over $250 more for the 980 that has less than 15% peformance over the 970? You get that 980 down to about $450 and it might be OK. But at 550-650? No way.

I would -- even with the ramgate 970 issues.

and what about all of those who bought 290X in the mining craze at above 800$ and 900$?... what about those who bought at the initial 550$ and now it cost 350$ or less? what about those who bought HD7970 and then the 680 crushed and they was forced to cut the price and launch the 7970GHZ at even lower price?.. day 1 buy have always a premium.. I don't feel bad for those who bought GTX TITAN as those cards are still powerful and do not have the limitation of the vRAM that actual cards have..

So to summarize:

Got to pay to play,
Got to pay for lies,
And got to pay for fast product changes.

Nvidia is getting paid in all instances.

Right. Forgot to mention that by the time the "real" consumer card comes, AMD should be releasing their R9-3XX Series and you'll be able to actually gauge the market. It wont hurt anyone to wait a couple months IMHO. At first I thought AMD not releasing in Q1 would be a mistake, but if they have an ace up there sleeve they could screw Nvidia from here until Q1/1Q2 2016 when 16nm comes. We all know how Nvidia hates lowering their price.

This could be a huge win for AMD to keep them relevant. Lets hope it actually shakes things up this time.

Not really though. You made the conscious decision to buy a card that was overpriced when the cheaper card could match its performance overclocked. Many review sites even mentioned it was a bad buy, which is why I think being the #1 GPU at the time does not deserve a Gold star. Reviewers need to start taking more things into consideration than just handing out Golds and Silvers every single card released by both sides. I don't think it falls anywhere close to some of the cases in the 600/700 Series.

Rumours have it that the 980 Ti will only have 6GB VRAM. That's something to bear in mind.
 
I really like this conversation between Jen-Hsun and Musk. Especially the part where he said he's not worried about automated cars and it's easy after Jen-Hsun spent an hour talking about how hard it is.

Lol, yeah, the only way Nvidia is going to make money releasing so many different new chips on this ancient 28nm process is if they carefully release the highest-profit SKUs first, and then wait forever to flesh-out the lineup. You see this with:

750 Ti = early Maxwell, got a lot of sales for such a small die size, despite no full DX12 or HDMI 2.0 support. Only one cut-down version sold at launch (GTX 750). Only new chip in channel for 6 months allows the GTX 860M to roll over pretty much everything in the laptop market.

GTX 980/970 = same sort of launch to the 750 Ti/750. No other new chips of consequence in channel for months, allowing them to hog the spotlight, and again sell tons of laptop and desktop parts.

GTX 960 = standalone launch, because they want to maximize the sales of GM206 without castrating sales of the re-branded 750 Ti.

Now it seems that the 4GB 960 and the 960 Ti will be released about the same time, and if you noticed, they have been slowly creeping-down the price of the GTX 960: first most cards were $209 or higher, now many are $199, and some of those have $10 rebates. The 960 eventually being a $189 card would make sense to open a good gap for the 4GB and 960 Ti cards.

No surprise that Nvidia is starting out charging $1000 for this card! These die sizes are astronomical compared to Kepler. They can either maximize the profit from a given BOM, and keep releasing new chips every 1-2 years, or they can do like AMD and just stop releasing entirely new chip lineups (instead just release one-offs where they are weak)..
 
I'm at work right now so haven't been able to watch the conference. Have they said if the Titan X is fully a unlocked GM200?

hmm lets see.

Buying a 290x during the mining craze: Not on AMD, it was retailers/etailers that were gouging. MSRP was still $549

Buying a 290x @ $550 and now it's $350? So what, same thing happens with EVERY videocard, it would be stupid if a 290x still cost $550 at this point. Do you expect 780s to still sell for $650? no, the price dropped right away when the 290x/290 launched.

the 680 was between 0-5% faster than a 7970, that is not crushing, and it was on par if not slower as the resolution went up, eyefinity / surround, the 7970 was faster as well.

Anyway, off topic!

I'm going to assume the 980TI to be a 6-8GB card with a 336bit memory interface with all 3072 cores enabled.

LordEC was pretty much spot on with his prediction...

This is a tough choice. Titan X or 980 Classy.... I still don't know if the Titan X is voltage locked.

"The Titan X would cool down to just 30 degrees with an ambient room temp of 21 degrees, though the card did hit 84 degrees when under load in Crysis 3, or slightly hotter than the Gigabyte WindForce 3X R9 290X."

The base clock speed is way low and gets hot quick. I wonder with proper cooling if you could get into the 1400-1500 range like the 980.

AMD's strategy of just not releasing anything seems to be paying off for them.

It's been over two years for me. ;)

But I'm not getting Titan X. It has 1/5th the peak DP performance of the OG Titan. It's 50% faster in games, but right now I don't need the performance boost. And if I did, I'd get the 390X for less (and rumors are that is going to come in at $700+) and dedicate my Titans to compute work only. Maxwell just really isn't all that impressive to me over Kepler, especially since NV seems to have to abandon Kepler support to make Maxwell look better.

According to the TechSpot review it's around 38% faster than the 980 but base clock is only 1000 Mhz. What I'm really curious about is max OC under water though. It's 300W and hitting 84C right off the bat. Who's doing that review? :)

Max OC vs Max OC with a good cooler it might do better % wise.
