Ignore, I got the wrong Newcastle.

I just did a google search (didn't know there was 2 Newcastles) and 5 hour drive for me. Even better

If they are released when I am off work, I could well do that. Few beers in the evening, hotel for the night and all ready to head for OcUK in the morning.

It is about an 8 hour drive for me but if the specs are close to truth, I will be making the drive

There and back? Surely...?
I can get to Stoke in under 2 hours, you must be able to get there in under 4

I'll stick to buying online

Too lazy to drive there to collect one :eek:

Probably. If I left mine at 4am, I could eaily be there before opening. Gibbo could put the kettle on, quick cuppa and back by lunch time.

Probably a better idea.

Sounds like a plan I might venture out for some fresh air to OcUk on release day

Thats what I call dedication.

I'll give you a good tip

take at least 2 credit cards.....and don't ask me why I said that

Are you suggesting these cores are specific to the Titan then ?...the story previously was they were failed K20 chips, which of all the rumours sounds the most logical to me

Even assuming they are salvaged parts rather than a special run for GeForce the number of cores that have fully working 2688SPs but not good enough for tesla would be extremely limited.

The original rumour awhile back (Nov 2012 ish) was they were doing one very low availability card to take back the performance crown and another with around 11-13 SMX and 5GB VRAM with higher availability but I've heard nothing about a 2nd card since.

DamoTourettes · 12 Feb 2013 at 15:04

Perhaps yields have come up with improvements in efficiency of the manufacturing process, which makes 2688SPs feasible?

I have spent thousands on PC parts from OcUK and I wouldn't mind seeing the new shop (not that I did see the old one). Specs of Titan will make my mind up when they are officially released.

I can't believe you haven't demanded one before parting with your cash

7970 launch day £450? now? £300?

670, launch day, generally £340, now, £280?

And how long have they been out?

You will always get them cheaper if your prepared to wait but then where do you draw the line.

It dont matter how many of the K20's they have if it's a limited edition run, i wouldn't be surprised if it was only 1000 units worldwide like the Ares2.

Don't think they'd even bother making that few. Packaging, driver development, warranty etc. More like 10,000+

weehamish · 12 Feb 2013 at 20:21

We will soon see

From what 8 pack has said, we will probly only get a couple 100 in the UK.

MichaelM · 12 Feb 2013 at 20:41

I'd be very surprised if a 20 page thread was about a very limited run GPU. Normally people just acknowledge it's existence then get on with their lifes.

I don't think 8 pack has said anything to draw you into an educated guess at "couple 100".

You've just made that up with no basis.

Asus do it all the time with the mars and ares cards, it's not about making money with these, it's about having the biggest **** on the block

I'm not saying that it will be only 1000 units but that it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was.

Suarez7 · 12 Feb 2013 at 21:44

Someone should make a DIY Titan.

Can you show me where 8 Pack said or even hinted at "A couple hundered in the UK"? I went back through but didn't see anything and maybe I missed it?

weehamish · 12 Feb 2013 at 22:36

I know you like repeating rusty greg but be on time nearly 2 hours late :\
