Geforce Titan rumours.

But those kind of posts can cost people money. They may make 1000 for world wide sale, they may make 10,000 for world wide sale, they may make 50'000 for world wide sale... Who knows but if you are quoting people and saying a couple hundred in the UK, some may take that as gospel and spend more than they can afford on getting one or two in case they miss out.

You need to think before you post.

No hard facts at all on Titan and those kind of posts are just silly :(

ARES II is nothing special, it's just a custom 7990 basically.

Titan IS worth talking about, limited or not.

Titan is predicted to be the fastest single core GPU available. I feel it is worthy of a 20 page thread (even though most of it is speculation/rumours/guessing/idiot posts).

We all know what will happen though when Titan launches. All the AMD fanboys will be like OH MY GOD MY 2 7970'S ARE FASTER AND I PAID LESS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. People forget that not everyone buys parts to save money per performance. I enjoy physx in games like borderlands and metro 2033, for me it is game changing, is it worth the extra? No, but I/ME will pay the extra and I don't care if people can't see why.
 
I doubt someones gonna go off my post of a couple hundred and run out to buy as many as they can :\ Talk about silly comments! Hypocrite :\

Couple hundred could be 300 - 3000.

But yeah everyone is excited to see how it pans out.

The ARES II is 2 HD 7970s with a halfway house cooler, better than air/worse than water and not really that good an overclocker compared to 2 single HD 7970s.

The Titan will bring a much more powerful single GPU chip to the market and so is of interest even if you don't want one for yourself. Once that level of performance is on the table it may act as a catalyst (no pun intended) to drive up the performance of the next generation of cards.

I proper laughed at this and I bet you are spot on.

Hopefully we are both wrong :)

I hope this does happen, but i would like to see prices remain the same as they are now, i dont wanna be paying £600 just because it can get 10 more FPS in games if you know what i mean?

The main reason this card will be so expensive is because there is nothing like it all except them mega cards for silly prices. I do wish both sides would chuck these out with every series instead of 7990s and 690s ect.

Having a choice of a chunky daddy card over sli baby cards is better imo, all driver issues would be solved and scaling would be perfect.

The main reason this card will be so expensive is because the yield is SO LOW whilst the performance is extremely high, there will be no single GPU which is faster than it - the "mega cards for silly prices" aren't gaming cards, they have no video output they're purely for calculations and GPU accelerated apps (think movies, design software etc). There really will not be many chips at all to produce Titan with, they haven't decided to release a monster card then said "Hey, lets just make 1,000" (theoretical figure, don't rip my balls off... ), they just won't have the chips to produce this on a mass scale.

Again it's much harder for companies to throw these chips out each year, the yields are SO SO low and the price for them will only climb higher and higher.
 
And, quite frankly, until multi-card has none of the disadvantages compared to single cards I will ALWAYS avoid multi GPu configurations.

I'll happily pay a premium for Multi GPU performance in a single GPU.

Depending on the setup multi GPUs are pretty good this days, apart from the framerate my 690s look exactly the same when I am using 1,2 or all 4 GPUs. A recent example was the new xcom game, I played that nearly all the way through on 1 GPU (I forgot to load the latest drivers). When I did get all 4 GPUs going there was no change apart from the fps trebled.
 
Thats a turn based game though, its normally fast action when theres problems.

I agree it is getting better but i still wouldnt do it.

If you could would you swap them all out for 1 card?
