Geforce Titan rumours.

[V3teran]

Thank you Kaapstad

I am lucky Their cheap right now, but come wednesday they go back up full price.

Congrats on the card.
You will be ok now until the end of the year when new consoles emerge and Maxwell architecture will be around the corner.

A proper upgrade to the 690.

 

[andybird123]

Because I was thinking about going 2 screens, but after this I'll wait a while. MY 690 will be good enough for me for a year or 2.

erm... so not quite sure what your point was... I posted up saying that people interested in Titan want them for more than one monitor and you contradicted me to say that you were interested in titan but not for more than one monitor, so I quizzed you on what you wanted Titan for and you reply "for more than one monitor"


I'm confused, what just happened here?

That's what I was thinking

Theirs nothing confusing about it.

It doesn't matter. I bought a 690 and that'll do me for a good while

you know full well that any of the people expressing a genuine interest in Titan is not running a single screen, or even 1080p

for those of us running proper PC resolutions and not 5 year old console resolutions, a new card that can be SLI'd to an extent not possible with any other graphics card has "value", whether or not you choose to see that

mindlessly insulting people who can afford a better PC setup than you is rather childish

So this card appeals to a minority. A very, very small minority. Fair play ! however, I am simply looking at it from the real world with one screen and it is incredibly disappointing. Am I right? 10 FPS over a 680 for nearly three times the price is ridiculous.

Three screen gaming is another one of these tiny niches. Am I ****ging it off because I can't afford it? nope. Why?

Already been there mate.Seen it,done it.

What worked? about three games looked right in surround. They were all driving games. The others? the graphics displayed on the side screens were so stretched they looked like you were right up close to them. Turn to the middle screen and you find they were miles away. Incredibly distracting in a game like Fallout 3 where you think you have a Deathclaw in your face only to find it's half a mile away.

So yeah, I spent £40 on each screen and ran it for about a month. Right behind it of course I had this.

Because relying and depending on something so niche and specialist always resulted in tears.

I've also run Quad SLI, triple SLI, Crossfire, tri fire AND quadfire. They were all about the same.

So as for money and being down on people who can afford a better set up than me? I don't think so, mate. I just prefer to spend my money where it is better spent on things that work and that can be used 24/7 without relying on support that just isn't there.

When I set up all of the above I went into it with no illusions whatsoever. I knew what I was getting into but did it merely to experiment and have first hand experience of the subject/s at hand. I now have more than enough experience with which to draw my conclusions.

And they are as follows.

I won't throw ridiculous amounts of money at stupid technology that isn't supported because the only people who buy into them have more money than sense.

As for my financial credentials? I have a credit card with a £30k limit. I could quite easily order myself a "pee the highest" computer but there's no point. Whilst my pee may raise I will experience nothing I could not experience with the PC I have now.

The only one of these niche technologies I actually developed a love for is 3Dvision. However, once again it is buggy and in some cases just plain broken. Still, once you have the correct monitor you can always disable it and everything continues as normal.

 

[V3teran]

Even when running titan with 3 screens you still not gonna get a constant 60fps with AA and everything maxxed out unless you run 2 of them in SLI as the core clocks simply arnt fast enough.

And even then there is the fact that a lot of people are upgrading to 120hz/120fps screens which requires even more power.

Where do you draw the line?
What visuals are you happy to game at?

Can I just not join the congratulation RetrogamerX brigade and say that seeing as you know the price of the 690 isn't going to change until Wednesday when the this week only offers change that buying today instead of waiting till 2pm tomorrow when the NDA on titan is up was in fact rather a daft move. You could have waited till then and been better informed as to whether the titan is good or the 690 price is likely to fluctuate in your favour or not, still knowing that you could get the 690 for £739.99 until Wednesday

 

[Jakus]

Oh please !.. No more congrats on the 690 how about some commiserations on the Titan ..

so what? you didn't like 3 screen and chose not to continue with it... that's fine... state your opinion and move on... no real need to throw childish insults at other people just because they want to have a look at buying in to that niche

I don't like 3D but I don't go in to every 3D thread and tell people they have more money than sense... if someone asks the question about 3D vs. 1440p then I tell them that I personally prefer 1440p, but I don't start childish name calling over it

you are right in that anyone with only a 1080p monitor would probably be best served by going with a current card in SLI rather than a Titan, but for those of us interested in 3 screen gaming and maximum settings, Titan might offer something that no other collection of cards can

until we see benchmarks we don't know

I think I made up my mind before this really. I've wanted a 690 for a while now. I didn't want to wait. I'm glad and happy at my choice. what's wrong with that?

If the price magically changes that much in one day if he asks 5UB im sure they'd just refund him the difference otherwise he could just DSR.

He dont care as he said earlier as it has already dropped in price.
I bought my 690 on day 1 for over £900 p+p but i dont care as its still a powerful badass mofo GPU

Here here,

3 screen gaming in 3D is for me. I am on one screen at the moment and it isn't as good "In my opinion". Because ALXAndy doesn't like it, none of us can like it...

 

[Jakus]

I think the figures look about right as well. They may not be as high as some of the claims made but for a single card they are still impressive.

In fairness you are correct, it is close to a 2 refresh bump I suppose, for the last couple of days I was starting to think these would be "big setup" cards but still a little disappointed...lets see what tomorrow brings regarding price

That's not what I said that's how you are taking it.

The fingers in the ears technique is probably best for you if what I say and do upsets you.

I am not buying Titan because I am perfectly satisfied with what I have. MAYBE I will buy a unlocked CPU but in all honesty from all of the games I've actually sat down and played there isn't much point to that either. I was offered a straight swap for a 2500k a few days back and declined because I just cba pulling out the board again.

so seriously, why are you even posting in this thread? just to whip up resentment in other forum users?

this thread is titled Geforce Titan Rumours... it is for people who have rumours or even confirmed info to post up and possibly for people to post questions about Titan... all you are doing is spreading vitriol for no reason

just leave the thread if you have no interest in the subject of the thread

literally no one cares if you like Nvidia, or one if their products, or it's intended application and potential market

 

[V3teran]

ALXAndy is just posting his opinion which he is entitled too wether his opinion is right or wrong its still his opinion regarding his experience with a particular piece of hardware.

Nothing wrong with that i see.

If any one has been upset here or let down it's because of Nvidia, not me.

Do I like Nvidia? too long to explain that properly so I will just say a quick yes, as their drivers work for me yet AMD's didn't. I did give both a try mind and both of the cards I had before my 670 were AMD and priced about perfectly.

As for leaving the thread? why should I? I'm not a big fan of ideology and never was. If what you are saying to me is don't post here unless I put a spit and polish on Titan then you are fighting a losing battle.

The only people who seem to be upset were those waiting for it or, who sold their set ups in anticipation of it. I can't help that can I? how can I help some one making assumptions and wanting to buy into something so terribly over priced?

Up until today I had nothing bad to say and was just as excited and full of anticipation as any one else. I already had a rough idea of what Nvidia were going to charge for the pleasure of Titan so knew what to expect. However, like many others I would assume I am terribly let down by the actual performance.

Sorry I didn't mean to come across as saying it was a stupid move and you made the wrong decision, it was more a case of myself I would have defiantly waited a day to be able to make the decision with all the facts rather than all this speculation and wild guesswork that always proceeds these launches.

Anyway I do hope you enjoy your new card.
