Pascal Titan-X Launch

[Kaapstad]

Looking forward for a spoiler post in a few weeks with four Titan Xs embedded

Unless they sort out 4 way SLI for Pascal NVidia could find themselves in a position where the old TXs beat out the new ones.

Stunned it's not HBM. So starting out disappointed means no sale from me. The Ti will launch and decimate the value of both the 1080 and the TX and I won't be fooled again.

Also I'm really excited to see how these shape up at 1.53GHz to my TX's at 1.5GHz

4 old TXs v 2 new 1080s, and the 1080s are using the faster CPU.

Even if the new Pascal Titan was 40% faster than a 1080 and overclocked as well as a 1080 (very unlikely) then it still won't stand a chance against the older cards in mGPU SLI.

NVidia need to sort out SLI

Remember the 1060 does not even do 2 way SLI and that card really could use it.

Agree why call it Titan X again?

Over £1000 here. Meh I'll pass

I wonder if anyone could do a photoshop pic of Richard Nixon as the NVidia CEO.

Imagine the jokes when people see the price if NVidia called it the "Titan P".

 

[humbug]

I'm surprised the clocks (at stock anyway) and cores are this low in comparison to the 1080.

If it doesn't clock much higher than stock, it might only be 25% faster than a 2.1 GHz 1080...that doesn't seem right.

Also what happened to the P102, that was a big 1080, without FP64 cores. This seems to be the P100 but with GDDR5X. Unless it just has the same cores as P100 but is actually much smaller die size? Like ~450mm2

Overall to me this screams of the Kepler Titan, and I assume the 1080 Ti is going to have more cores and be faster, as well as cheaper.

The thing is yields for 16nm at this early stage are not likely to be viable for massive chips, hell even at 450mm^2 they are likely to yield low volume, a couple of 10's per wafer instead of in the 100's.

As for HBM2, well Nvidia may not feel its worth it for Desktop cards and instead just have that on Workstation cards.

lol very true

 

[bakes0310]

Expected that price, but disappointed on the specs. Like everyone else have said it better boost up very well. Even if it gets a big 40% performance over a 1080 I'm still gonna wait for the 1080ti.

 

[dasBOT]

killer, sadly just a price

Did they put mgpu in timespy since its dx12? Might not need the bridges and might be what nvidia are banking on more devs doing

 

[Silent_Scone]

Hmm. So soon...

You need the bridges for Time Spy.

Bless you Kaap I know you love multiple GPU setups, but the way I see it is we could finally have a single GPU capable of Ultra HD in the 1080Ti. The 1080Ti coming out a few months later will be a killer GPU for many.

A single 1080 Ti or even 2 won't be enough even for games around now unless you want to turn down the settings in some of them.

The Volta Titan may be just enough but by the time that comes to the market games would have moved on with much higher requirements.

The latest game requirements are always a couple of steps ahead of what the fastest single GPU can manage unless you use mGPU setups to run games maxed out.

You'd buy a 6GB 1080Ti?

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

250w with 1 8pin and 1 6pin could make it an ace overclocker though

Yes, I'm talking the 1080Ti being 2160P capable without 8xMSAA!

 

[Spook187]

Well judging by the pathetic launch of the 1080 for stock, this should go down like a lead balloon.

 

[HACO]

Clock speed is lower to maintain 250w limit. I'm sure it overclocks to the same 2.1GHZ or so. Maybe it's not limited so we may see 2.4-2.5 on liquid.

Price is too much. It's called NVIDIA Titan X, not even a GeForce card anymore. NVIDIA is advertising INT8 compute performance. It's the best gaming card, but it's not a card for gamers.
