My GPU sweet spot for buying is around 200-250 quid. Have the money but just don't like spending any more then that. So this is a touch out of budget lel

To be fair, if you was a gamer and was going to keep this card for say 2 years then it would cost you just under £500 a year for gaming, if you think that is a justifiable cost to you then that is all that matters. If i was to purchase the titanx and keep the card for gaming for four years then the price/performance ratio is better justified, doubling up would double the years. There are a few games when maxed out that i reckon the titanx could not maintain a constant 60fps at 1080p 144Hz, but it will be interesting to see the user end results in real world gaming on certain games. Can the titanx max out (and i mean at maximum possible settings) ArmA 3 at 1080p 144Hz?, what about metro last light max supersampling 1080p 144Hz?, what about bf4 max supersampling 1080p 144Hz?, what about 3d too?, how does it fair in new virtual reality gear at 1080p 144Hz?.

doom on a atm!! :)
 
No.

I enjoy seeing a new piece of tech and reading reviews but while this is undeniably the pinnacle of single GPU power it's not as impressive as the original Titan (which was 40-50% faster than the GTX 680). For my needs (1080p/144hz) it's not worth the outlay, especially with the 390X not far away and also a potential cut-down version (took nVidia 3 months to release the £780 last time) in the near future.
 
If I had that level of disposable income, I'd have no issue in buying one...... or two, and then you can forget about your GPUs for the next 2 years easily.

Sadly I don't, so I won't. I understand people who do though, what I would call true early adopters and cutting edge enthusiasts.

is it worth it for 1080p ........... interesting !!!! i'd say definitely yes but not for the price, more like £650

you need maximum grunt for 3D Graphics rendering, esp when you put in environments and props.

I know you meant the 780ti but I can just imagine NVidia going, "hey guys, get £780 from us at the low low price of £899.99" :D
 
you would have to have a few screw loose to buy this GPU to be honest. Massively overpriced, gets quite hot, 12GB VRAM is just OTT, could have saved money by sticking 8GB on had same results, It's quite loud reading a few reviews, and in a few months you'll have a card thats got old hat GDDR5 compared to the future - HBM. I can't see very good sell on appeal, and to be quite honest, the 1600p/4k results were just plain boring...nothing that made me go wow at all.
 
At the current launch price?

Absolutely not.

I will however re-examine the TX prices when the 390X debuts and the shine has worn off.

Me thinks a little competition will be a good thing for prices.
 
Nvidia release a gtx 980 ie the next gen of cards and its 10% faster than the 780Ti, they then release a Titan x which is 45% faster than a 780ti which is what the 980 really should have been but they want £900. Nvidia are going too far in eyes. In a nut shell the Titanx is a good card but way over priced and its really what the GTX 980 should have been but with double the amount of ram.

I doubt Titan X will ever become cheap as it would cheapen the brand. They'll just release the 780 equivalent tbh.

This pretty much sums it up.

The "970/980" are essentially 960/960Ti branded and sold as 970/980, and the "Titan X" are essentially "980Ti 12GB" (especially with the removal of the double-precision comparing to the Titans before it) branded and sold as Titan X.

At most this card really should be only around £650-£750, as it is not genuinely a Titan without the double-precision...
