Gibbo said they have a placeholder price but it can and quite likely will change up until the day.

I thought you didn't know the final price before? Has this changed? Do you definitely know how much it will be now?

It turns out there is a Titan 2 in the works and it is guaranteed to annihilate anything AMD can come up with.

I don't know where I am going to put four of them though.

People take round and pointy things and will want to stick them in places they don't belong and people wont be prepared to pay top dollar for something round and pointy because of this.

You will want to stick it in the RAM slots, CPU slots or anywhere and everywhere but the standard PCIe slot, just because its different and adventurous. Eventually when you are partnered with the same PC a for long time and you are bored with the normal average PCIe slot action, you may be allowed to try the other slots on special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.

NDA date as there's far too many pages to trawl if this has been announced?

There's an NDA on the NDA.

Martini1991 · 16 Oct 2013 at 23:38

Current rumours have it pinned at the 25th.

Hasn't that been the case for like every release

?

It's the same, every time.

That cant be right surely?

'Hawaii' was more apt than we first thought.

There's one thing we forgot though...it's humidly warm/hot over at China comparing to the dry hot/cold in the UK, and then there's also the issue of severe air-pollution...

It's a Furmark temp from a dodgy Chinese benchmark, the reading may be inaccurate to begin with due to technical reasons... doesn't seem to be stopping the photoshoppers though.

That's a valid point.

I really can't believe the AMD engineers sat back after finishing the design and thought to themselves "that's spot on that is".
