Will you be buying an RTX TITAN ?

Anyone going to ditch 2080ti for a Titan ?

Doug2507 · 2 Dec 2018 at 13:07

Wouldn't even ditch my 1080ti for it. Poke it nv.

Minstadave · 2 Dec 2018 at 13:08

Nope.

I may get a couple just to get you going.

Depends on how fast it is and how much it costs.

If you are a serious gamer it is not worth the extra whatever money.

If you have nothing else to use your money on you may gain 5% more performance than a 2080 Ti.

Hence my comments of depends on how fast and how much. In all likelihood the answer is as you point out not worth it.

trisp · 2 Dec 2018 at 13:39

I would not buy it unless it costs atleast 5k and gets me 60fps :rolleyes:

Yaayuh! · 2 Dec 2018 at 13:46

There goes the arguement for the hilarious costs being that 2080Ti fills the Titan spot so all cards have shifted up.

Was always going to happen. Why would anyone believe an 11GB card was the full fat addition?

I suppose I am exactly the demographic this card is aimed at, but unless the Titan is an all new design and Nvidia decided to get real on price to performance then 100% no.

There will be no justification for NVidia giving the Titan RTX a huge price increase over the 2080 Ti as it will use all the same parts except for an extra memory chip which would probably add about £30 to the build cost.

Having said that of course NVidia are going to be greedy on the asking price.

Kelt · 2 Dec 2018 at 14:04

I'll get one if it's no more than £500.

bakes0310 · 2 Dec 2018 at 14:07

Guess it's gonna be minimum 2k so no, even if it provided triple performance of a 2080ti. Not spending that on console ports and indie games.

Turing does not meet the minimum spec for consoles, it can not even do 30fps with RTX on.

If it's based on Turing, lacks freesync support and cant hit a similar price to performance ratio to a £400 Vega 64 then no.

Nvidia have changed tactics this release. The ti was always released later, milking the early adopters. I can’t believe that people didn’t grow wise to this, and more and more didn’t just wait for the ti. I’d imagine the Titan wasn’t particularly profitable anymore, hence the V being aimed at a different market.

I think we’ll see a hefty performance bump this time around, and a price tag to match it. Absolutely won’t be worth it, but here’s hoping it drops the ti to a more sensible RRP. (Hey, I can dream can’t I?).

When has a top tier card ever offered similar price/performance to the mid-range?

AMB73 · 2 Dec 2018 at 14:52

The wife would like to answer this on my behalf.........NO!!!!

So, no, apparently not

Don't think it will lower 2080 Ti prices as all NVidia need the Titan for is to offload surplus full fat TU102 chips not used in the pro cards.

I've had the last two Titans and bought the 2080 non-Ti to keep options open but not expecting to pick up a Titan. I'd rather spend more money next gen I think. Will definately check out the specs tho.
As I only game at 1440P, 2080 Ti Cuda cores total + double the RT processing power would be an interesting Titan option.
Top end stuff is never worth it purely from a performance per £ POV.
If Turing is here for a few years, seeing the high memory usage in BFV, albeit just one game, I do reckon the 2080 Ti card is probably a better 1440P card with the Titan for 4K
