What do you think was the most influential card in the last few years.
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
lol don't think so. I'm yet to see a person walk around with a watered down lamp shade on their head (obviously at an affordable price of course!)

It was so good that I bought 3
Lol. You're just greedy. Not as greedy as Kaap mind you.
Another example would be the race track, there are loads of things that have been developed for racing that have influenced road car design, this does not mean everyone does their shopping in formula one cars.
Go on LtMatt give credit where it's due.

Lol jesus Kaap your examples suck.
I don't think you'll ever convince me that a gpu 30% faster than the competition but 200% more expensive is influential, sorry mate.
Nothing against the quality of a titan mind you.

9700 Pro (cained the Geforces of the time and had hardware tesselation) and the G92 8800 GTS 512 (codenamed "phoenix" for its oven rebirth properties, oh and its stonking longivity at a great price).

I don't defend the price in the context of buying one for gaming as there were so many cheaper alternatives. When it comes to multi GPU setups it was a different story.
Don't lie Matt, we all know you do - you're just in denial
I was young and needed the money. That's all im saying.
So how about the Nvidia 5800, it was a very loud leaf blower card as I recall, it didn't sell very well and was replaced with the 5900, it influenced the market by making manufacturers put better heat sinks and fans on cards. It wasn't the first card to do this and I'm sure it wont be the last, every so often a card comes along that influences the market for the wrong reasons, it has nothing whatsoever to do with price or how many were sold.
In that case your post I quoted makes even less sense.
As without the Titan the 780's/ti's may not have been made.
I would say the 8800GT but for me, it has to be the Titan. The build quality of the cooler needs to be seen and the fact it inspired the 780 and 780Ti is fantastic. Out months before anything else could get anywhere near it.
