As long as it plays your resolution well it doesn't matter if anything is 10x faster plain and simple.

Stupid logic imo. 4K needs two to be able to "last" anyway.

no not at all, because members like Boomstick have no logic, they only want the fastest cards....... plain and simple.

come on you know that :cool:

Maybe Gibbo can give us an honest figure.

So far I've seen about ooo, twenty to twenty five people showing their cards. And I assume people with them will show them because that's part of the experience isn't it? rubbing other, less fortunate people's noses in it.

Wouldn't say that, people post hardware pics regardless if its a £300 card or one for £1000.

Those are impulse buyers or as "WE" like to say "enthusiasts" or "graphic card aficionados" :cool:

If anything it is more like Audi labeling their R8 as Lamborghini and selling them at Lamborghini price

I bring up the age old but can it run Crysis?

TX can not run Crysis 3 @ 4k so it's still not good enough.

yea but Crysis 3 is a Krap game so who cares

yes, but Greg's like that too, but he's deffo not as crazed as BOOM, well i'm like that too so i cant talk either, but my weak point tends to be buying PC Cases and rebuilding rigs when they dont need it

Gregster · 31 Mar 2015 at 22:34

I am not an impulse buyer and plan for these things. I know what I want and I save up for it and generally keep it for a long time.

So was Crysis. It looks nice, though and it's what PC gamers get, good looking games.

I liked Crysis 3 right up until the Alpha Ceph. That's when I gave up.

Yeah. As bad as some of these car analogies are that one makes the most sense.

Titan X is built cheaper than Titan was, so Ferrari comments are a country mile off.

Titan X is more of a 500bhp RS Turbo.

Please don't use the enthusiast moniker. That's really insulting to other true enthusiasts who can't afford the ticket price.

Every one who posts on this forum is an enthusiast.

If every one who bought a mid ranged card posted about it the forums would crash.

Chill a bit Andy, you are becoming very insulting.

Ayahuasca · 31 Mar 2015 at 22:50

Andy blowing things out of proportion again, there's a surprise.

If people get wound up by someone posting about their expensive GPU purchase then they should probably step away from the forums for a while.

Why? Not you I'm having a go at it's Nvidia whom my gripe is with.

I'd guess you havent ever posted pics of your rig? Or did you post them just to rub peoples noses in them?
Theres a lot of owner threads for gpu's and iirc most if not all require a picture

I'd doubt there is as many Titan X's made as the 900 series but with atm no competition available or even offical specs of a upcoming one i think the titans will sell well for those interested

If people get so upset by me posting how I feel about their £1000 GPU it's them that need to step away.

I wouldn't even mind but it's not even them I'm having a go at. It's Nvidia, yet they're getting upset.

Maybe they shouldn't be so sensitive.

Ayahuasca · 31 Mar 2015 at 22:53

I wasn't upset by any of your posts, just pointing out that's it's a little naive to think under 150 had sold in the UK.

I've posted pics of my rigs purely to show the mods I do. Have I ever posted a pic of my plain old rig that I just bought and bolted together? well no, not really.

I don't have a silly pic as my sig either. In fact, I don't even mention any of my rigs there any more.

I'm more of a modding man. It ain't yours until you've made it yours etc.

Good. Why do you think I'm upset? I don't have a Titan X if that's what you're trying to get at. Instead I have four rigs, soon to become five. See how high my pee went there? :rolleyes:

That was called sarcasm, btw, before you accuse me of bragging.

As for the 150 GPUs? well, I just read back every post I've made and I don't see me saying that anywhere. Please quote this so called post. However, I distinctively feel that you will need to apply what's in my sig though.

Telling people who post their pics up are rubbing the less fortunates noses in it is insulting and I consider myself an enthusiast but according to your logic, as I own a TX, I am not allowed that moniker.

Go and have a cuppa bud and relax

Wait so you are telling me that only true enthusiasts can be so by buying a Titan X?

It's not me being insulting Greg.

And whether you like it or not that's exactly what you are doing.

Don't worry about me, mate. I've got five rigs, a 7990 numerous high end CPUs and three Titan Blacks. But you're certainly rubbing people's noses in it, trust me.

So you certainly don't have to worry about upsetting me.

You quite clearly were agreeing with the guy who said under 150 and stated yourself "It honestly won't be that many"

As for thinking anyone is rubbing peoples noses in it, no, that's just you seeing it that way, which doesn't at all surprise me.
