Titan X

LoL just coming to post when I saw this....

oh well.. Nvidia Killing even more AMD even before they launch anything.. so finally the rumored GM200 announced.... 8 billions of transistors, 12GB vRAM.. oh crap..

I hope that ends all the talk that Nvidia delays new cards when AMD has nothing new (GTX 680) Nah, who am I kidding?

Nvidia needs all the Titan hype they can get before Fiji crushes them... It was a calculated move to get the card out there before they get sidelined by a $600 GPU.

This will be the Titan Z vs 295 X2 all over again.

Yeah uh huh. :rolleyes:
 
Wow this is bad for AMD, hope they come out with their new line by the end of GDC.

Exactly, and all they have to do is show the card.
They could take a 290X and just paint the shroud a different color and call it a 390X and it would be enough.

it doesn't have to be polygon as its already in a lot of pages out there.. the web will have a lot of activity in the upcoming days relating about Titan X all the day.. just like before the launch of the GTX 980 and 970..

how is it bad?

the card is going to be $1K+

the market for this card are either HPC simulations or gamers with enough disposable income that they don't have to give a thought to whether AMD's next gen cards or GTX 980 Ti will perform similarly to Titan X

imho, it is bad because Nvidia is not giving AMD any room to breath. They have taken market-share from AMD again and are at over 75% of gpu market-share. This will only add to it.

personally i will do as always.. I'll buy a nvidia High-end Card and later a AMD mid range card to support it.. depending on the price.. this could be my first Titan card..
 
Is this the big Nvidia news? The thing that was '5 years in the making and would redefine future gaming.'
 
But the important question remains: will this card still have a RAMDAC, or will its use be limited to Liquid Crap Devices.

I still do not think 2 of these are enough for 5K gaming.

Three would do OK if 900 series performance is any indication. Still, what's the point? 5K is crap if it's only a single tiny screen at 60 hz.

Not sure how that'll sideline Nvidia. All they have to do is drop the 980 Ti (a cut-down Titan X) and they've got a comparable part to show-off.
 
12 GB sounds perfect for 3x 4K.

BTW that card looks as if it doesn't have SLI connectors - are Nvidia following AMD and using the PCIe bus?

That really depends how the Titan X compares to the 390X, doesn't it?
I know we automatically assume the Titan X will be faster, therefore the cut-down 980 Ti will be comparable or still slightly faster than AMD's new parts... But that may not be the case.

Agree with the tiny screen point. A comfortable pixel pitch of 0.233 mm/dot for desktop use is 54" diagonal, but 40" is probably the limit on practical usage at 2-3 feet.

Once you've seen text on a high dpi monitor, text on a standard dpi monitor looks nowhere near as good. It's a qualitative improvement. Fine vs rough. In gaming a higher DPI means less need for anti-aliasing.
 
Tempted to grab a Titan X. A single one of these may just be better than having 2x 980.

Not having a dig just curious as to why?

I am shortly going to be choosing between 2x 980's or a titan x i think.

Now keep in mind my assumptions are based on rumors and the 8 billion transistor count, assuming a 40-50% gain in performance (which is realistic) at $1000-$1300, it puts it in line with 980 SLi for cost.

Next you look at SLi scaling and assume about 150-170% vs single 980, a single Titan should be anywhere from 10-30% slower than 980 SLi. However, raw performance aside, it will also offer several other advantages:

1. No SLI microstutter
2. Can use MFAA + DSR (DSR isn't available for G-Sync + SLI currently but is for non GSync)
3. More consistent performance since with SLI you are dependent on driver updates for profiles and some games don't play nice with SLI.

So even if you pay the same amount of money as 980 SLI but lose 10-20% in performance, there are other gains that offset that.

If single Titan X will be good for 4K gaming than 2 will be good for 5K ( since 5K has twice the pixels of 4K).
Click to expand...

5k= 5120 x 2880 = 14,745,600 pixels
4k= 3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400 pixels


its not twice the pixels, but it is a large jump. Who cares about 5k though? they still haven't released a decent affordable 4k monitor yet.

I want 60hz-120hz ,IPS, 32"-40" Might even settle for a PVA panel.
 
So Nvidia announces the the successor to the 3000.00 card that lost to the 295x2, and everybody automatically assumes its going to kill Amd's 600.00 card and be cheap to boot. It should be interesting to see how this compares with a 395x2 which will undoubtedly be half the price again.
 
Retina on iMac pros are 5k

But, like all prebuilts, they ruin a perfectly good monitor by paring it with crap GPU, and a mobile GPU at that (m290x with option for m295x), I'd say apple might make a killing if they released the retina display on its own.

Don't forget the larger memory bus which accounts for a lot. Going from 256bit to 384 bit will definitely increase FPS as the memory bandwidth will be a good bit more. Transisitors aside, you cannot ignore that bus size :D lol
