nVidia Titan RTX is in-stock

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/titan/titan-rtx/?nvid=nv-int-ndtnrx-66563


Against all common sense 1 of these will sit at its new home in i9-9900k system - If not for a few work things, like the Titan V personally I would of skipped this Titan - Its the price, too high (coming from someone bought all other Titan's less than V).

Let's hope for some AMD magic with Vega 2 - perhaps if the Graphics God's have favor with AMD, there will be something to drive the Titan's back a bit in price.

Uh, not likely. Especially if guys like you buy them at release price.

Titans have always been founder cards at set price from day 1 (to end of life) - really without anything even somewhat close to them (from AMD) since Titan's came about... AMD doesn't need to beat the Titan RTX with Vega 2, just come in the ball park, and of course be able to produce a Vega 3 (or whatever) when nVidia ready's Titan 7nm (whatever) - That (maybe) would cause nVidia to take pause and dial back the high prices of the Titan a bit - But as it stands, there's little reason for nVidia not to rape the Titan consumers for every last ounce they can.

I could accept 1400 but at it's current price it's ridiculous. I'm sure you'll enjoy it though I'm not trying to hate on you or your ability to purchase it.
I just think this really is nvidia saying
"thanks for all your support and go fuck yourself with these price increases".

I own a Titan myself bought off these forums. I totally get the performance demand and AMDs lack of product in the 4k segment. I'm with you on hoping the next AMD high end release will be akin to the 48x0 days where it forced Nvidia to buckle under consumer pressure.

If I were Scrooge McDuck and gamed @ 4K, I'd pick one up without even blinking.

Otherwise, a 2080 Ti makes so much more sense.
 
If they make a version of this with half the VRAM and maybe $1200 I'd bite. But that's 2080 Ti territory now :rolleyes:

Nah, I'd buy a Titan V CEO Edition. It's not even close. 5376 CUDA cores and almost 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth.
 
Just a thought...what if Ray Tracing never really materializes? Seems like a lot of dough for unpromised tech. Remember when DX 10 came out and how long it took for developers to really utilize it? Sure there were token things here and there...but when its in full swing that card with those features was antiquated.

Now if there were enthusiast implications for AI and machine learning your into, get two with the link! That i would be interested in but i have not heard of anything out there that the common person is doing

Imagine talking to your own self from 2016, telling that a $1500 Video card makes sense. You'd laugh yourself into oblivion. Twice the launch price of the 1080ti !! No, it doesn't make any sense, and nVIDIA can kiss goodbye to my money, until they return prices into the realm of reality.

I would compare Ray Tracing to DX9 features, rather than DX10. For me I bought the DX9 capable 9700 Pro back in the day, and if you were playing the original Far Cry or Half Life 2, there was a big visual upgrade from DX8.

Also, DX9 games required DX9 hardware to enable in game visuals.

I've said the same thing ever since launch prices were revealed. Not a chance Nvidia.

SPEAK NOT THE FORBIDDEN WORDS BLASPHEMER

But really, that's where I'm sitting on the 20-series. I see zero compelling reason to bend over for Nvidia on the promise of tech noone is utilizing right now. Worse still, by the time enough developers are implementing Tray Racing, the 20-series will be practically antiquated. Heck, by all accounts the 2080ti struggles with current implementations of RT. I'm not buying a $1,000+ video card to play games at 50fps for the sake of "realistic reflections."

I'm hoping they ditch the RTX cores in the 21 series and use the things they learned in the intervening years to just give us a beast of a card stuffed to the gills with CUDA cores, ROPs, and gobs of high bandwidth memory.
 
I will have one in my hands tomorrow... Not my own but my idiot friend who decided to spend all his Christmas bonus and then some on one. I'm glad he did though cause for the first time I get his hand me down for a great price instead of the other way around. Titan XP here I come!

Titan XP is still a great card.

Hopefully it's that stark. What I've seen so far is people who thought when they bought BFV on release that they were seeing ray-tracing and how great it looked. Well turns out it wasn't until a recent patch that they enabled it. Whoops.

It looks like many consumers have voted with their wallet this round finally. Just take a look at the meh sales numbers. In my opinion the numbers speak for themselves. I think the 20 series will be short lived. Especially if AMD comes out with anything remotely competitive.

And even then it wasn’t earth shattering. Not enough to get me to come off my wallet.

I've not had a lot of time with my Titan RTX yet - however in the same exact system my 2080 Ti was in, both at stock speeds, its certainly a bump in performance. COD BO4 my 2080 Ti hit 117-125fps for most part (in game/map) with frame times of 7,8,9 - The Titan RTX hits my frame limit set (160fps as currently plugged into my 166Hz monitor) with rare dip 155fps, Titan RTX frame times range around 2,3,4 - Personally, I consider that a reasonable performance increase in real life gaming performance.

The Titan RTX will make its (final) home in i9-9900k in next few days - currently its in 2950x (in signature) - I'm sure as he points in the video a pair of liquid cooled overclocked 2080 Ti's did beat stock Titan's in gaming benchmarks - however consider you can use the same plates and liquid cool Titan RTX then bump up clocks with it as well - sort of silly comment that has little to no meaning for me personally (once a Titan hater, always a Titan hater).

I think Kyle here at hardocp nails it, benchmarks don't always fully capture real live game play - All the gaming benchmark software is simply 1 form of measure for what it's worth. With First Person Shooters (multi-player), I look to frame times and min. frame rates, combine good numbers of those with high refresh rate monitor and it takes the edge of older reaction times.
 
Wish they'd actually give Volta some gaming drivers, so we could see how the V performs compared to this. I'd be curious to see how much of an impact something like HBM2 can have on the minimum frames, because if I remember correctly, HBM helped Furies in that regard and gave them lasting power despite being "only" 4GB.
 
Nice card at 24GB but not with the price tag, IMO why on earth didn't NVidia release the RTX 2080 TI with 16GB of Ram instead of 11GB! I bet they didn't want to lose the Titan V stuck at 12GB I just hope Amd pull their finger out with HBM 2 memory @32GB

And on that note, I really hope AMD and Intel give them a proper schooling in 2019-2020.

Their stock has dropped by what, 48%ish?? That's karma right durr.

(Along with obvious financial factors and the vanishing of a "certain" market)
 
I've seen the benchmarks. The Titan RTX is only 5-10% faster than the 2080 Ti but costs 100% more.

Makes zero sense as a gaming card. If you use it for professional apps, then that makes sense for the 24GB frame buffer. Otherwise, it's just for personal e-peen, LOL. 2x 2080 Ti Would kick the Titan's butt easily and costs $100 less.
 
I came dangerously close to just pulling the trigger on the Titan RTX. Glad I held back. The latest in-depth analysis/review from gamersnexus shows that the card simply doesn’t really offer much at all over a 2080Ti when it comes to gaming performance and his tear down video shows that Nvidia didn’t do squat with the card as to improving its PCB design - it is 100% identical to the 2080ti, save for the quantity of ram used, the memory bus and the version of the core chip itself. It’s a hard pass from me. Charging double the price for this card seems ridiculous if just used for gaming. I can see why Nvidia was careful to never mention gaming user as a target for this card or push it for that purpose.

And yet people are still buying them for the epeen extension they require. Realistically its probably a $1500 card at most for the extra ram and tiny speed bump, but that's not stopping people throwing money at nvdia for bragging rights. I'd be embarrassed to say i threw nvidia's asking price at them for this thing considering the tiny performance gains.

Don't forget the gold plated chrome!

In all seriousness, Titan never carried a fair value. I feel the RTX 2080Ti at $1200 is more of a shock than RTX Titan at $2500, given we've had two Titans (The Z and V) price at $3000.

Ooh, the Titan Z is probably the worst value of all the Titans now that I think about it.... I definitely would have gotten a 2080 ti if it was below $800.

Not my Titan RTX but it arrived just in time for Christmas and for me to get a $450 Titan Xp.

Merry Christmas to all.
 
I really like that they are sitting on the carpeted floor, you should walk back and forth a few times to get them that extra fps static charge. /s
Seriously, why would anyone put exposed electronics on carpet?
