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

The Titan is amazing. I was playing Crysis 2 last night with the DX11 & HD pack on Ultra at 2560x1600. Solid 60+ FPS. No throttling and seemed to maintain 80'c, only 65% on the power and I think it was running 1079 on the clock looking at the monitor. It was pretty quiet considering.
 
Looks like Overclockers have over 10 Titans of each brand in stock. Wonder how long they stay there.

For £499 they could send me one, Not a penny more though.

I cant see these being anything under £800 for a long time tbh. There is nothing to compete so the price can be as high as it wants until something comes along with better performance and a better price.

I look forward to my prediction being correct (AMD and Nvidia 8 series being slower that Titan).

It is possible to have cards in the upcoming series that are faster than the Titan, but to do this the GPU would need a transistor count approaching that of the Titan with the associated bad yields and costs.

Is it worth it to AMD or NVidia to do this, probably not.

Considering that the Titan is not as fast clock for clock as the 690 and the 690 is 1 year old in May 2013 i doubt your prediction very much!

The only thing thats great about Titan over the 690 is the 6GB of Ram but that is it.

I can see Nvidia releasing a Refresh of the Titan with the 1 SMX cluster currently locked to unlocked.

Not only that GPU's will only get faster and faster and Titan will be beaten in an early timeframe,(within 1 year or just over) its already neck and neck with the 690 give or take depending on what you prefer.

Your post strikes me you are not comparing apples to apples :confused:

Also since Titan is single GPU and you were saying it's as fast as a 690, can you tell me the last time a single card from the new series has beat the top end dual GPU card from the last series.

just rumor's and hearsay,but I have every bit of faith in amd atm

Titan is a fantastic card though,im not knocking it at all im just curious as to what amd have to answer it

Titan is a winner cause it is single GPU card.
Framerates in SLI doesn’t necessarily translate into an acceptable gameplay experience.

SLI is excellent ive been using it since the Voodoo 2 days (3dfx) and ive never had any problems.

Although i do see where your coming from as peoples experiences are different, However all Keplar cards have whats called Frame metering technology wheras the 690 has hardware based frame metering technology which eliminates 99% of stutter.

Ive yet to experience any kind of stutter on any game even when i ran 2 of those 690's in SLI.

You should research frame metering technology.

It all depends on how good gcn is as amd seem to pull lots of gains from this architecture at will lately. Most reviews show titan as 25-30% better than a 7970ghz edition. If amd have improved the architecture and then beef up the card i don't think they will need to go any where near titan sized chips to get near or past titan performance. Everything i have read seems to say nvidia were having a harder time producing gtx680 chips when comparing to amd on the bigger 7970 chip. Its all hearsay but amd did launch first with a bigger chip.

Its a big ask from amd as i don't think they will go anywhere near a titan size chip but looking at past history its possible aka 9700pro which was way superior to anything nvidia released at the time.

Amd have been full of surprises lately but a titan beating chip at normal pricing would be staggering. Here's hoping as i will be looking for a new gpu sometime this year.
