I thought some of the review sites have listed negatives such as heat which can lead to throttling and noise?

Thats the two I've heard of too, memory heat and it being louder than the 970/980's etc. Personally, I dont listen much to review sites.

I'm waiting for real reviews from unbias people who have not been paid off by Nvidia or have an agenda.

No one is buying the TX for lowly 1440p, it's 4K all the way. OC TX is a beast but still does not justify the daft price tag. If this had come in at £600 Nvidia would probably rake in more profit than charging the $999 through pure sales volume.

I didn't notice any dodgy frame drops in DF vids.

Im only using it for 1440p, I wouldn't call the ROG swift lowly though lol

Even at the high price they will still sell due to demand and there is obviously a market for the Titan brand as the previous model showed. It's definitely not for everyone, but some people just have to have the best whatever the price. With the GM200 chips that don't make the Titan X grade they could possibly use that for a cut down GM200 card sometime in the next 4 months. So they get the high priced sales now and still get a healthy profit on the cut down cards later.

GTX 980Ti 6GB will drop in around £600 under the £800 halo TX

90% of the perf for 75% of the price

Im not sure the 980Ti will exist... if you look at the pricing, there is no room for the Ti to be placed in between the 980 and the Titan without killing off all the custom card market like the Classified and Kingpin.... and for it to be a 980 means it would have to be on GM204... being on GM204 means that it wont have the performance or bandwidth of the Ttian X, and it cant possibly cost the same.... or even more.... so I dont think the 980Ti will really exist honestly.
 
There's nothing in this GPU that makes me want to buy it... running 5760x1080 maxed out is fine with me... tbh, I picked my 295x2 up for £499 and my 290x for £202 notes... so for £701 notes... that's a lot of power and considerably more than the Titan x delivers... people will say with high res you need that memory, sure they're right, but mine's just flying along...

Suppose maybe if I was looking higher res then maybe so with all the 4k monitors out now, however don't have intension of upgrading the monitors now... so for me and I supsect a lot of people, the old tech as in from an AMD perspecitive 290's, they should soon be picking up some bargains? I'm in that position of lower tech monitor means no need for new 2015 cards?

Of course there'll be a ti - it'll appear around the time AMD release their new cards and it'll be clocked at whatever necessary in order to get it 5-10% faster than the 390X, assuming this is possible. If they need to release a faster version of the Titan core with 6gb and a less fancy HSF arrangement, that's what they'll do. You can be pretty sure the amount of VRAM will be what distinguishes the products.

The stand by my original statement! Wager?
It will be interesting couple of months! :p

What if a newly released game that you really wanted to play came out with no multi gpu support or very poor scaling. Would your setup still be better? Sure, that's a lot of power for 700 notes if it can be put to good use. I don't always get the multi gpu for less money argument when multi gpu support isn't that great still and is either whacked into a game as an afterthought with poor scaling or it takes numerous drivers, profiles and game patches to get it to where they intended it to be.

With that said though, if your setup does exactly what you want it to do in the games you play then that's all that matters :)

The TitanX comes with all 24 SMM's active according to reviews. A likely die harvested 980ti would be slower even with compensatory higher clock and I don't see them one upping the TitanX by releasing a slightly higher clocked full core (competing with OC versions of the TitanX). Bit of an overt slap in the face to TitanX buyers even with half the vram as a differentiator, especially if priced to take 390X sales.

fantasticCG said:
Yup maybe but it wont be called a 980ti seeing as the 980 is on the GM204.
Maybe Titan Ti???

660 was GK106 and 660ti used GK104 dies.
I doubt they would have a problem with it tbh

If anything it would prob sell better becasue it is the GM200 in the TX

Crysis 3 1440p60/V-Sync Gameplay GTX Titan X
Lowest Frame-Rate 44.0fps
Dropped Frames (from 18650 total) 477 (2.56%)

And the Ass. Creed Unity 1440p vid shows Titan X really, really struggling to maintain anything even close to 60fps. It's almost like watching the fps counters from a PS4/XBONE game. :D

Sorry, but for me at least, I'd be expecting a £1k card to be hitting a solid 60 fps min before even contemplating purchase.

No wonder most folks around here are buying them in SLI pairs. :D

When has that ever stopped nvidia wanting to compete? If AMD's 390X is everything the rumours say and affects nvidia's top end sales, they absolutely will release a 6GB version... Less ram means more tdp for core clocks.

Anyone buying a Titan series card knows there will be something similar coming at a cheaper price

We can speculate all we want but if NVIDIA released a 780Ti just to nark the 290X by 10%, then what would stop them doing a similar thing with GM200 if the 390X offers much better price/performance? The Maxwell family looks almost like a carbon copy of Kepler so I wouldn't bet against history repeating itself.

Remember the 780Ti reference was just a couple hundred cuda cores and 50Mhz+ clock vs the Titan, half the vram and none of that dp nonsense gamers don't need.

You did notice the 290x dropped 5560 (29.80%)? I'd of thought 2.5% was a acceptable level

Of course they would want to compete, not suggesting they wouldn't for a moment.
But to release a full 24 SMM GPU with 6GB that barely out competes existing TitanX seems a less likely route to take. A die harvested GM200 with perfromance close to TX seems more likely.

The vram cooling is not directly linked to the core's HSF, so reduced vram at 6 GB wont help with heat dissipation from a core running hotter due to a slightly bigger slice of the power budget.
