Geforce Titan rumours.

I'll buy everyone in this thread a titan from ocuk if I win the euro tonight :p

Makes sense now, if they are just discarded workstation cards it's not going to cost them as much as I thought it would to produce.

Of course. It's simply shoving the core onto what looks like the K20 non X PCB and getting some one in R&D to come up with a cooler shroud. Same bloke who did the 690 by the look of it :)

This is just another Intel Extreme Edition.
 
So no real reviews/performance stats yet? why do we have to wait for bloooody Thursday- sob.
Close to just just getting a 690 at current price for 1440p but would like to see the perf figures of the Titan first.
 
Going by the Guru3D preview looks like my AX850 would be good enough to handle SLI. Unfortunately the price is a little on the steep side, not sure I can really justify that kind of outlay but we'll see what the benches bring on Thursday. Outstanding tripple screen performance in SLI could be a clincher.

Makes me wonder how many with a screw loose, will buy a Titan running at 1080p. :rolleyes:

Some people might for 120Hz gaming.

Nearly all.

That's the nature of it. People want it just because Nvidia made it.

It's a silly product and no doubt it will end up being used for silly set ups.

Most I've spent on a GPU is about £420 6 year ago on the GTX 295 on release day. The money isn't an issue for me even if RRP is going to be £825 as per Hexus info.

Nelly dont lie lad you WELL want one :cool:

Hahahaha! I do, I do, but I'm trying to talk myself totally out of it! :p

Money could go towards a 2013 range Panasonic 55" TV, or a screw loose last ditch holiday before the big 40! holiday to San Antonio, or Magaluf! lol :(
 
From what info we now have its cool, and quiet, and with reasonable power usage. It also overclocks VERY well (1.1GHz) even on stock cooling NICE!:cool:

YES its mega money but what did you expect? Its the best single chip GPU money can buy! Its a halo model for the NV brand. Value is not a consideration at the top end. It never was!

And yes obviously 2 cheaper cards in SLi / xfire can be as quick / faster. BUT a single GPU card with zero scaling issues gives so much more reliable performance.

If i could sell my 670 easily tomorrow and it can be had for under £800 i'm extremely tempted. 120Hz gaming cries out for cards like this!
 
When AMD released the under performing 7970 with nothing to compete with it, they charged over £470 (here prices) with Asus coming in at £560 for a reference card. People still went out and bought them. They knew Nvidia were on the horizon, so didn't esculate the prices even higher is my bet.

Now Nvidia are releasing a card that doesn't have any competition and will sit on the crown for 'Fastest single core GPU' and are charging a premium to own one. Personaly I don't like the price and can see these being cheaper in a few months time when yields are higher but if you want the best, you have to pay for it.

Anyone who considered buying one of these and thought they would be cheap, had their head in the sand. Crazy prices were being spouted (rumoured of course) and crazy bench's were being spouted. Having taken a look back through the thread, a few of the rumours were off (85% performance of a 690) but this is what you get with rumours. Get it clocked up and it could well be 95% the performance of a 690... Only current owners will know what it is capable of.

Anyways, I look forward to owning one (two soon) and anyone else buying one can join me in a raised glass to 'owning the fastest single core GPU' :)

Hi there

No TItan results, but some Crysis 3 benchmarking, in German:-

I was going to have a look at these and compare to the graph on Nvidia's site

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-titan/performance


Only to find the graph has now disappeared LOL



Edit: Looking back to the graph in this thread
Looks like Titan could be comparable to 7970 in Crysis 3.

they may well be... a new article on the Inquirer suggests that when pressed for a comment on availability, Nvidia didn't mention the 10,000 limited edition that others have suggested and in fact pointed to the Titan HPC cluster as evidence that they can produce Tesla / Titan cores on demand, suggesting that NV will keep making as many as they can sell

So, to sum up, 690 or Titan for single monitor 1440p?
Click to expand...

right now, 690, cheaper and faster in the games that are currently available (670 SLI even cheaper and same performance as 690)
 
I'm really liking the sound of this card, the info that's all over a lot of sites today suggest it's quiet cool and can overclock well in the right situation.

It fixes all the issues people had with the 680/670 the memory bus and the amount of vram.

Also that Sli bridge looks amazing too
