Good find Cat and I always expected what didn't make Titan would be making a trimmed down version.

Rroff · 18 Mar 2013 at 21:54

Was rumoured before Titan's release they had 2 SKUs for it - tho not that unsuprising given theres the K20 and K20X.

Does kinda make one wonder whats going to happen with the GTX700 series.

for some reason i thought this news broke ages ago. is this exciting? don't want to be negative but the titan turned out to be simultaneously more expensive and less powerful than people thought... this new card is even weirder, since i assume it will perform roughly the same as the 700's flagship

Geforce GTX Titanium costs in the current situation around 9000 Euros including VAT.

lololwut?

Thats news for the professional version, this is news for the GeForce version.

Seems my source for the original rumour was about on the money.

On average, the Titan is 30% faster than a 7970 and performed a little under what I expected under stock. It is when you overclock the Titan it shines. It compares to and beats 670's at stock and beats CF 7970's when they were in their infancy. Maybe I am unfair in my comparison because the 7970's were faster overclocked and when the 12.11 drivers were released 10 months later, the 7970's stood out as serious cards.

My point being that Titan is on basic drivers and I expect big increases when the devs get to work on optimising Titan to its fullest.

I would expect the cut down Titan to be around 10%-15% slower than its bigger brother and hopefully prices will be a little kinder.

I wish that was the case, as I would have mine for sale right now

Could be interested in this mini TITAN, but I can still see it being around 700 quid.

still i can't help feeling skeptical about this new card. obviously makes sense from a business perspective to sell partially failed cards but i won't get excited until i see it for £500, maybe £600 with immense driver improvements. congrats on your titan, but maybe i'm a bit too plebeian to see the GK110s as anything but extravagant

In before the price moaning.

Understandable about the skepticism and what didn't help Titan was the rumours. So many stating 85% of a 690 (which it is pretty close) and then we heard more than a 690...It then gets released and we have the true figures and the massive price and this could be a let down

I would expect around £600 but purely guessing and with it being Nvidia, aim for £800 and anything under might seem cheap

Cheers by the way and they are great cards. Too pricey for me to recommend though

(as much as I want to).

I just hope it has 4GB minimum RAM on it otherwise what a waste because we now know that AMD 3GB cards run out of VRAM at triple screen resolution and the only way to play this resolution is to waste money on 6GB 7970 trifire or get Titans

Haha you know it

I do believe it will be coming with 5GB, so plenty of VRAM to power the games with.

Rroff · 18 Mar 2013 at 22:49

^^ 320bit/5GB seems likely.

Even if it was free people would complain that theyd have to pay shipping

A can of Red Bull would sort that out!!

PhysicsMan94 · 19 Mar 2013 at 00:41

Interesting, still I think I'm going to get a Titan soon anyway - if I don't win the 7990 ARES II competition that is, and in that case I'd get another ARES II anyway just for the sheer power! Anyway, the chances of that are remote...
