Geforce Titan rumours.

Too expensive for what is just a single GPU. i personally hope this doesnt sell well else whats stopping both nvidia and ATI charging 800+ for their flagship single GPU and 1.5k for dual GPU cards?
 
To the people criticising others and calling them "silly" et al for considering buying a Titan: take a long hard look at yourself. Honestly, it's pathetic that people feel the need to try and belittle people for buying a graphics card with their disposable income. I think it's partly down to jealously/envy in some cases and just pure spite in other cases.

Some of the worst form I've seen on this sub forum, seriously.

I think all prospective Titan owners know that they aren't getting the greatest value for money already without being told repeatedly over multiple pages so please for the sake of what has been a good thread, stop repeating it over... and over... and over.

There are many other things to consider when buying anything other than price/performance. Please bear that in mind. While you may not agree with the 'justifications' that people put forward for wanting a Titan there's no need to get narky over it. It isn't your money.
 
Somebody said something earlier about academic & business users snapping these all up as cheap compute cards, as they (supposedly) are not crippled for DP/FP work. I think that bears repeating, if you want one your F5 key will need reinforcing.

Is it 1 per customer?
 
Got to say this card sounds awesome , however the price is not ! Give it a year or two and this will be the standard card with massive price reductions . However, for the few people that must have the fastest and money is no object, I’m sure they will have a lot of fun . Seems like they have done a lot of R and D from Fermi , the TPD looks really good .

I'd say buy a GTX690. £900 isn't worth it tbh

How can you say that without performance data of the Titan?

The 256 bit bus is not sufficient for triple screen gaming so I have a problem with your broad statement.

If one Titan while water cooled is faster than a 690 at triple screen resolution, then what?

The point is, if everyone buys a titan and it sells well then whats stopping nvidia and ATI charging the same amount for all future single high end GPU's

Brilliant post :)

Can't wait for the pics of setups and benchmarks tomorrow :D

No, that's not the point.

The price is largely determined by the market not greedy companies no matter how much the nice story gets regurgitated.

I think this is an exaggeration. One of the main reasons for the price is probably because of the poor yield. Another reason due to it being the fastest single card gpu out there. Do they make them having to charge a good amount tomake a good profit due to poor yields, or would you prefer the card not to be available? It gives people choices.
I fully expect the 780 to be a better priced card (due to less throwable bits during manufacturing) and probably just as fast as the Titan if not better.

I do agree that some of those slating them are upset as it's outside of budget.

That's the thing. It isn't going to sell well. Hardly anyone is going to buy one.

:rolleyes: how do you come to that conclusion? no benchmarks anywhere yet, no real-world results. Just specs on paper. No real feedback. And I'm sure you're only looking at this from a gaming standpoint. There's a fairly sizeable market out there for CUDA-based GPU-accellerated rendering and the Titan is looking like a VERY attractive option in that neck of the woods. I know Nvidia have marketed this towards gamers but that's simply because they want as many people to buy it as possible and there will always be willy-waving types who will plump the relatively huge cost for the "best" gaming card money can buy. But for the rest of us who will make money using these cards these are looking like very nice options.
