Outlast? Both the 900 series (including titan) and the 300 series (including fiji) will be completely obsolete this time next year, when 16nm GPU's hit the shelves. No-one will care how much memory a TitanX has when it's matched by a mid range card for £150.

Unfortunately your arguement has already been defeated by history.:p:D

Have you not noticed how popular the original Titans still are, yet all other cards from 2 years ago are well obsolete (unless you count a 3XX low end rebrand).

I think the TXs will still be going strong in 2 years and people will still be laughing at the obsolete AMD Fury X that was launched with a whopping 4gb of VRAM and a shedload of hype.:D

Try an NVidia card you may like it.:)
 
I guess the only reason original Titan might still have its use is compute. Since Nvidia gimped compute in TX I can't really see it having any other use than a paper weight a year from now. But of course same goes for FuryX.

Future proofing is nonsense. That's why 4GB is more than enough.

You have mentioned this up a few times when the subject of the 8800 re-brands has come up, the review sites at the time considered shrinking the die and changing the name to be re-branding the card, as did/do most people.

Ok if you want to have that opinion then fair enough.


Humbug can I just ask you, If AMD have tweaked the Hawaii core, by changing the actual chip in any way, would you still consider this a rebrand ?

Hawaii is GCN 1.1, Tonga GCN 1.2, with the difference in Tessellation Throughtput, Delta Colour Compression and Texture Compression i consider GCN 1.2 a different architecture to GCN 1.1.

If Grenada is GCN 1.2 or higher with those sort of differences then to me its a different GPU even if it has the same number of Shaders, ROP's ecte...

If its GCN 1.1 renamed Grenada then its a rebrand.

The reason the old Titans are still in use is because of the 6gb of memory they come with, this still makes them attractive in multi GPU setups @2160p.

Most of us who bought the original Titans have never used them for their compute ability.

As to the Titan Xs they will still be going when Pascal arrives as the first of these cards will be small Pascal which won't be much faster than the TXs and are unlikely to have 12gb of memory.

As to 4gb of memory, try and run Watch Dogs, GTA V or Shadow of Mordor maxed @2160p and see what happens.:)

Even ignoring the VRAM advantage in some situations a good overclocking Titan can still hang in there with a stock 980 not bad given how long they've been out.

I think TXs will become obsolete faster than the original however.

Yeah but it's cool when Nvidia do it, re-branding is fine yo. Apparently the semantics over the naming is making people lose their minds. It's just to complicated for some people.

Fury X (Flagship)
Fury Pro (Second card down)
390X (Mid - High end)


Posting that above to help people, as a lot here seem to be worried about that people buying a $389 / £250 card from best buy or PC world accidentally thinking it's the AMD: 980 Ti / Titan X equivalent.

He's right though. This 390x is more power hungry. It's going to be a hotter card spared the improved cooling. At least the 8800GT was faster and priced underneath the GTX at the same time of its reign. Making it seem like a damn good card. It was also a single slot cooler.

Compared to this kettle of fish..more than a year later, a ton of cards under the competitions belt and it's exactly the same card! LOL.

All rebrands are uninteresting, some are just a lot more senseless than others
 
he hasn't but if i'm right he can give the game away.


Also I am not allowed in the warehouse :D

All seriousness aside

I actually know nothing and wouldn't be able to post in here if i did.

I will howeverstop posting now as it's for the best as the speculation mounts.

have the chance of buying a brand new 980 for £335... but only today, wonder if it is worth it or I should just wait for AMD cards...
