Titan X

Igroock said:
You and the rest are the problem. You just WANT AMD to fail, which will only hurt you. The fact that people like you discount AMD thinking they cant do a damn thing is sad. The moment AMD fails is the moment youll see how much competition there really is. Nvidia products are a byproduct of competition. You look like the guy that just cant wait for $1000 price tags on 970/980 level of performance. Sad really.

Settle down little fella. Realistically it doesn't seem probable the 390x will outrun the Titan X but that doesn't mean anyone wants AMD to fail. If it hits even 90% of Titan X performance at $600 it will have succeeded.

If you really wanted to be realistic then youd know that only a small portion of the community is going to purchase the Titan. You can say that Titan already won having 12GB of VRAM, but at what cost? Majority of people couldnt care less about the Titan, simply because of its price tag.

Guaranteed this thing will sell out faster than you can blink.

Well I don't expect NVIDIA to make nearly as many as they do 970/980's so that won't be surprising but yes that's exactly what will happen.
 
I'd be willing to buy Titan X before i'd consider SLI 980's too, assuming I was in the market for real top end cards.

Although to be honest, with the issues I have with SLI (not SLI itself strictly, but DSR/MFAA thing), titan X does somewhat get tempting at times.

If I hadn't already jumped on 970 so early, or upgraded my old still fully functional 2600 rig, Titan X might very well been one of my top picks.

Yup that's precisely why I sent my 980 SLI setup back. Lack of MFAA/DSR with my G-Sync display and only slight performance advantage over Titan X isn't worth it. A single Titan X with lower latency and more features w/nearly the same performance is the way to go. I spent $1250 on the 980s so if the Titan X is $999 it'll end up being cheaper. I really hope NVIDIA shipped these to stores already and we can buy them on the 17th when they announce it, that'd be epic.
 
I hope this thing overclocks well! I remember the original Titan overclocking pretty well there was just that weird voltage drop that would lower your clocks after a few minutes of gaming.

I doubt it will overclock well. If it is anything like the 980, which should basically be, then adding voltage will not help you because the cards are limited in TDP, and with the titan x having more cores it will likely run into its power limit a lot faster. So with out custom bios they are unlikely to suck in the overclock department. Who knows though maybe nvidia will be more generous with the power target increase from the factory and allow for a decent overclocking experience. In general though the less number of cores the better the overclocks tend to be.
 
I think every 980 you have to BIOs mod to get the true potential out of so I doubt this will be different. It only takes five minutes so to me that's no big deal. I am more curious if the voltage regulator will be locked down which will be disappointing. If it is I am going to wait to see the 980ti (or whatever they are called) classifieds which I am going to try and hold out for anyways. I am a single card guy so I don't need 12GB and am waiting until Christmas for a new monitor.

Of course it will sell out, because they arent going to make that many of them, its somewhat obvious.

Everyone should calm down, because no one truly knows the final price, especially if its in short supply.

I think they actually sold a huge amount of regular Titans. Trying to find data... All I found so far was that the original Titan outsold the 690 in less than three months.

Werent older versions of the Titans not specifically targeted towards gaming? But more of a hybrid design targeted towards professionals?
I am not really surprised newer versions outsell the old since 4k is being pushed further and further towards mainstream acceptance.
 
The original Titan was aimed at gamers. Some professionals that didn't need absolute precision probably snagged it as well. To clarify my above post all I could find is they sold more Titans in three months than a year of 690s.

DejaWiz compiled all of the various Titan announcements nicely on this page. http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1041468119&postcount=236

AMD needs to at least paper launch the 390x before the Titan X hits shelves. If the Titan X launches at $999 I'll probably snag one. If it's $1350 I'll wait to see what the $700-800 range looks like first. IF I was smart I'd wait to see all the options. :D I think this will be the high end card for quite a while (2 years at least?). That's what makes it so tempting.

Once 16nm hits it's best practices to do it on a small die like they did with Maxwell and the 750ti. Then scale it up. That's why I think the time frame will be so drawn out. They're ahead of AMD and it's the proper path to minimize risks.

Older Titans were part of the strategy of using high-end chip both in professional cards and in obsessive gaming cards. That was increasing volumes and lowered costs. If it turns out that the Titan X does not have meaningful support for DP it will be interesting to see what NV offers next to the professional sector. It is rather hard to believe that NV will make a different high-end chip addressing professional demands. Another practical aspect of how much the Titan X is future-oriented is support for the DisplayPort 1.3.

Granted, it is a slight redesign and respin but still...
 
OCUK have 'let slip' that they have ~1000 Titan X cards in their warehouse.
