NEW Titan Pascal (full 3840 shaders) just announced!
- Thread starter Toss3
- Start date
They are GeForce GTX cards though, they even have the Branding directly on them. All the Titans have been, even when they had DP compute fully enabled.

Its the same excuse every single time the titan series gets some flack. "Its not a gaming card its a prosumer/workstation card". It is a gaming card. It is marketed as such with the geforce logo and the geforce branch of drivers. In the end it doesnt matter what it is but more that nvidia has just pulled another 700 series d move. Personally saw this coming from a mile away and so did a few others. We all knew on day one of the first Titan XP that it was a cut down chip and whenever nvidia releases a cut down chip there will be a bigger brother to follow it at a later date. I personally could really not care less about the titan class cards. Is it an impressive piece of hardware? yes it is without a doubt but its clear to me what purpose it has and that is to milk those people who cannot stand the thought of not owning the best(best meaning a few % at most)/most expensive completely dry. The only titan card that made even the smallest form of sense to me was the kepler version due to its DP performance but that got cut as well and wonder why? because it came into competition with nvidias own much more expensive prosumer lineup.
Agreed normally I would just buy this card as its fastest out there but cant justify it this time , its not the money I mean it is a lot but I just cant justify 2400£ on the same architecture just seems daft.
I have to admit slightly annoyed with this announcement I mean obviously we saw the ti coming which would be cheaper possibly faster which bought resale value down thats fine and we kinda saw this coming but where does that place the titan x pascal in reference to resale / value now I dont know , I mean our cards are discontinued now. Seems like the shortest shelf life ever for a premium product
omg the inhumanity won't someone think of the poor members of the pc gaming master race (pcgmr) who are practically being forced by NVidia, at gun point, to shell out again in just a few months from the titan x (pascal/cut down die) to the 1080ti to the the titan x (Pascal -full fat) just to maintain some allusive satisfaction of having the fastest consumer gpu in the interim.
Of course members of the pchmr are an inconsistent and sometimes strangely whinny bunch of individuals alternating between moaning about the apparent lack of apparent progress in some arenas (intel cpu's since sandy bridge) then moaning that progress is too quick in others (NVidia GPU's) rendering their recent purchases somewhat less 'shiny'.
it's as if some people observing from the outside might think that people in the pchmr should do some research into their purchases' in advance and accept that they are not a sound investment finacially and should be purchased based on a assessment of how much money the purchaser is willing to part with for performance in the here and now knowing that something newer and faster is inevitably always just around the corner.....

I wouldn't mind seeing some benchmarks.
I dont know any other market where you throw money at a premium product with such a short shelf life , remember the original titan x pascal is now discontinued ...... think about that for a moment .... discontinued. Its one thing faster cards coming out thats ok thats expected as mentioned before but is it really ok to have a premium product which people have invested into to be taken of the shelf literally 8 months later ???
you haven't looked at expensive fashion products then?
say..

'Fashion has a short shelf life and at Zara its only a few weeks'
These short shelf lives have been playing to my hands.
Had a EVGA Titan Black superclocked, died, as they didn't have stocks to repair or replace, was upgraded to a pascal (as it was SLI, actually both cards were replaced). One of my pascal cards has died already, so who knows what im getting next
Extended warranty at its finest.
Or just the one,

I'm quite pleased with myself. It's been over 2 years now since I spent money on GPU's and I still have no plans to get any Pascal part.
Admittedly it was £800 each for 2x Maxwell Titan X's and I then put hybrid cooling on each one, but they are still going strong.

But what is the point in keeping it? The 1080Ti for all intents replaces it, the same quality chips that went into the TXP 2016 now go into the Ti. The better full fat chips which initially were only for the Quadro card likely produce in sufficient quantity that they can go into this new Titan XP. From a cost perspective, the PCB is likely identical on this new Titan to the 1080Ti's beefed up FE PCB, more refined memory controller and chips all similar to the Ti so economies of scale right there. At this point who would buy the 2016 Titan XP over a 1080Ti even if it dropped to say £900/1000 vs £699 for the 1080Ti and this new one was at £1200.

Wow Nvidia spoiling customers with so many choices.
Nvidia killing it recently.
Yup, they're stronger than ever. I was seduced to the Dark Side even though my £1200 monitor has Freesync........they had cookies/powerful gfx cards!!!
Wouldn't cut it for 4K though.
Why not sell the titans and get one gtx 1080 ti instead?

Anyone seen the Xbox Scorpio demo? 4K 60 FPS in Forza with a ton of room to spare all from a modified RX480 and Bulldozer CPU SoC! I'm sorry if this is trolling or fanboyish but that kind of performance makes cards like this look like dinosaurs (given what this is likely to cost).
