**** Official Titan owners thread. ****

What's it you rusty?

Much ado about nothing tbph, stoking the flames as such.

You don't have one, your more more vocal than those that do, you don't buy here anyway, so what's the fuss?:p
 
To be completely honest, 4 Titan's are a big waste of cash no matter how you look at it. Would you prefer the retailer lied and said they'd recommend spending this much, or kiss your butt to honour frivolous spending?

Could have been worded slightly better though I do agree with that.

Saying all of that, it's still interesting to see the results :)

That's the difference between being an employee and just a forum member I'm afraid. You have to be sensitive when dealing with customers even indirectly.

I wasn't aware that 8 pack couldn't speak for himself anyway?

So although you may have seen it that way, and indeed others too, myself and others have seen it as a bit... unpleasant.

So what, 8 pack is an employee so what?
Arnt people allowed to have an opinion on Ocuk?

Thats his opinion which he should be entitled too and if he thinks its a waste of money then thats his opinion, dont mean he is right or wrong.

2x Titans is the sweet spot, 3 is pushing it and 4 is a waste but thats my opinion, dont mean im right or wrong either.

Saying that its Kapstads money and if he wants to buy 4 cards are 24 cards then thats up to him, Its not affecting any of you people so why you bothered so much?

Some of you lot need to get over yourselves and stop being so jealous, also its your opinions are what make a forum and you should respect other peoples opinions and just get on with it FFS.

Sometimes the way some people are on here is pathetic which is why i hardly post here tbh.

Seems if your opinion is different to the masses of a particular thread topic then you get frowned upon, i seen it in many threads here.
 
Rusty, I think it was meant as more of an opinion rather than being disrespectful.

Yes possibly wasn't worded correctly but that can be very difficult thru words on a forum.

It was not meant with any disrespect as you point out Swagger. Its my educated opinion. I appologies if I offended but me and Kapp get on well and I am sure he wont see it as offensive if he does I am sorry.

Rusty by yourself up 4 Titans mate they are top value :)

If I could afford 4 titans, I would have 4 titans. Some people can afford them and not have to worry. Same as some people can afford nice cars and some can't.
 
I will get 4 Locky but it sticks in my throat man. I bench so I have to. Nvidia's pricing as Gibbo agrees is expensive.

Don't be hypocritical about stoking the flames after your performance in the "rumours" thread. Post after unconstructive post whinging about the price.

Because it offends me that somebody has the arrogance to make a comment (tongue in cheek or not) which is belittling somebody for spending their own disposable income on what they want to spend their own income on and justifying it by saying that he won't beat my benchmark anyway.

I could ask the same - what's it to do with you that I'm bothered? Why are you not picking up on the others who have pointed out it was not exactly the cleverest thing to say as an employee and representative?

I would hazard a guess and say it's purely down to a large a population here who moaned, page after page, in the Titan rumour thread about the price and they probably agree with 8 pack. I have no problem with that, it's an opinion after all. What I have a problem with is such an acute opinion coming from a member of staff. It's insulting to me and, as you say, I don't even have one :D.

And to the ludicrous post above me somewhere saying that it's OK because nobody from OcUK would recommend getting 4 Titans anyway... what a daft thing to say. He's already got the Titans and posted a picture of all 4 of them a couple of pages back.

If they was £599 I would have 2 I reckon, current pricing is out of my range tbh and what I would pay for a GPU.

Don't be stupid. That is clearly not what my issue is.

Thats his opinion which he should be entitled too and if he thinks its a waste of money then thats his opinion, dont mean he is right or wrong.

Still missing the point.

Saying that its Kapstads money and if he wants to buy 4 cards are 24 cards then thats up to him, Its not affecting any of you people so why you bothered so much?

Exactly. So why even bother in the first place?

Some of you lot need to get over yourselves and stop being so jealous, also its your opinions are what make a forum and you should respect other peoples opinions and just get on with it FFS.

Jealous of who exactly?

Seems if your opinion is different to the masses of a particular thread topic then you get frowned upon, i seen it in many threads here.

This I agree with.

I appologies if I offended but me and Kapp get on well and I am sure he wont see it as offensive if he does I am sorry.

I would have got two if I had three screens still but I downsized a few months ago. Now I'm rolling in the cheapskate 2*7950 territory :D.

That is true, but I don't think it's the best analogy to use considering how quickly new generation technology is phased out. If you have the cash fair enough, but even then you can't really argue it would be better spent elsewhere.
 
How much difference does running two of these at 2 @ x16 vs 2 @ x8, is it just maybe 1% or something daft, like it would be using GTX 670's, 7970's or whatever?

No way I would buy two of these, but curious all the same.

PCI-E 3.0 8X/8X would be fine.

Possible there's a potential small bottlebeck with PCI-E 2.0 8X/8X. Will need Gregster or one of the other SLI Titan boys to confirm.
 
He did say "guys" and not "guy's" so it can't be taken personally. Loophole!!!! (joking).

*scurries away from Rusty's reach

Come on V3t. Keep it civil.
 
Its my largely uninformed opinion that 4 is a huge waste of money as well. Not because I wouldn't get 4 myself, but the price of these things is eye watering. They're not actually out of my reach either, but because I don't really bench, just play, I just can't justify it. And isn't scaling poor above 2 anyway?
 
** edit***

What Kaapstad does with his hard earned money is his choice and regarless of any of us agreeing or disagreeing, we should respect his wishes and not pass judgement.

I wonder how much 8 pack has spent on benching equipment/chillers/Ln2/GPU's/CPU's...You see where I am going here?

Thought as much, would be interested to see someone with two boards, say a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH vs Gigabyte Z77X-UP7, with two Titans, as the UP7 can do 2 x16 with the PLX chip.
