NVIDIA to Unveil GeForce GTX TITAN P at Gamescom

with the titan on HBM2, in the 4k+ space it may actually have good noticeable performance gains over the ti, then again i guess it all comes down to clocks/overclocking capability.

I dislike how they locked down previous titans, they'd be a dream with custom boards.

What was their reasoning behind that in the past? Was it just due to chip supply? or to prevent 3rd party workstation cards?

I could barely afford a 1080 (Which I'm still waiting for) so Ti and Titan P will be super duper stupid money. I would think over a £1000 easy. I'll wait for 11 series.

11 series is going to be much cheaper?

 

[Gregster]

Anyone with the right mind would say no to Titan pricing. Just wait for the Ti lower price better performance.

Even still over priced but much better than paying stupid price.

I say anyone who can afford one and wants one, go for it. The Ti won't be better performance but will be lower price.

Nvidia literally taking the P with this Titan

They're actually giving the P.

lol doubt it, but why buy a Titan P on 10 series, then like someone else said here earlier I'll just buy a 1170 with the Titan P performance

I'll wait for the 1270...

1080 owners will get quite the twitch if the 1080Ti comes in at £700. Apart from the halo Titan products, there has never been a single GPU NVIDIA high end card released for more than 700 US Dollars MSRP. The 780Ti was the highest MSRP of note at $699. The 980Ti was $649 and most recently the founders 1080 $699.

For 1080 owners to suddenly believe the 1080Ti will have a $1000+ MSRP is crazy even on NVIDIAS pricing.

A few things wrong with your logic there.

The Titan black was $1100 and the Titan z was $3000 on launch.

Then if you go back there was the 8800gtx at $599 which in today's money would be $782

You also have to remember only 1% of gfx cards sold are over $350 so we are the rich high end market. And there is no completion to force nvidia to drop the list price my $100.

Lastly this should finally be the 60fps 4K single card.

Prices appear higher nowadays cause of the exchange rate difference. It was fun when it was two dollars to the pound. The way things are going card prices will just be dollar price plus vat here.

Let's be generous and say the launch the 1080ti at $799. That will be £960 here.

Exactly Greg. Most of the people who are up in arms about the price had no intention to buy a green team card anyway while the people who buy Nvidia will keep on buying them.

Is pricing getting silly? Yes but if its to expensive...dont buy it. Buy the cheaper alternative in AMD or a card that isnt the very top of the line instead

 

[JanM]

Hope the pound recovers some before the Titan and Ti hit the shelves.

Every generation of NVidia GPU I see a few passing insults to people buying from OcUK and it winds me up. I am surprised it is allowed as much as it is, as basically OcUK sell you things and it is like there is somebody in the shop calling you a mug/stupid etc and that really isn't on. It used to be reserved for the Titan buyers but seen it thrown at 1080 buyers and wondering where it ends?

 

[tommybhoy]

I'm a mug/stupid enough to buy a 1070 but that's as far as I'll push my own stupidity of lining a greedy companys ever bulging pockets.

I moaned at Titan launch pricing and said it would have a knock on effect and got slated for it and now I've had to pay over £400 for a gpu that's likely going to be sitting 4th in the product stack and you lot have a problem with moaners?

You reap what you sow and at the end of the day like I did you end up coughing up for ever inflated prices.

You missed the 8800 Ultra, which came in at a whopping $829 back in 2007

I remember you was actually very civilized and I don't recall you having a dig at anyone who bought one and iirc, told them to enjoy it. You/we choose to spend our disposable income however we want and especially for our hobby (which is what I consider it).

I like nvidia's new gpu yes they expensive but 1080 runs very cool and silent for exceptional performance. I've had amd in the past but nothing they have in their range gives me the combination of power and efficiency that nvidia's range does. As there is no other option it's a bit meaningless to say I'm stupid to buy a 1080 as it's the only product in the market place which can do what I want it to do.

Yes I guess I could wait for the amd card to come out, but how long would I have to wait for an amd card to come out with the power and efficiency of a 1080? If they did launch one is it likely to be much cheaper?

I can assure you amd is not a charity. I bought a hd7970 on release for running 1440p and that was £530 and quite a few years ago now. That card was pretty hot and loud too with its reference cooler which was the only card available at launch.

 

[Dicehunter]

Looking forward to see what the 1080 Ti comes in at but if Nvidia go a bit mental with prices then I'll give my money to the red team as there comes a point when it's just pure urine extraction.

Correct, but you'll still buy it no matter the price.

Nope, The 1080 I only really paid £200 for as I sold my 980 Ti for £400 on the bay but I can see the 1080 Ti being silly money so if it is I'll wait to see what AMD has on offer with Vega.

Yep, if you want the best single GPU Nvidia is only option atm. If AMD had the better card it would be priced accordingly, but we can all also agree that it is Nvidia who have set the recent precedent for high pricing, first with Titan line and now with the large hike on the X80 tier. So I can see it from both points of view.

Hopefully as 16nm matures Nvidia will be kind enough to fleece us a little less. I'm passing on my 1080 now, with a view to going 4K and 1080 Ti later on, I will probably pay silly money to do so as well Hopefully the Ti comes in a bit less than what most of us are thinking after the 1080 pricing..

"Worth it if you say yes then you have more money than sense."

Your exact quote.

And by saying you're not stupid enough, you are directly implying that anybody who does buy one *is* stupid. Pretty simple, really.

You're making the mistake of making your own value judgement of a product and assuming that is somehow the universal, 'correct' value judgement to make and therefore anybody who doesn't make the same choice as you is stupid, even though it's just a case of them having a different value judgement to yourself.

The only time you can ever really say somebody is making a 'stupid' purchase is if there is truly, and I mean *truly* an objectively superior alternative in absolutely every single way.

Well that's isn't how I meant it to come across so if anyone was hurt in from my post, I sorry.

Really wouldn't worry about it mate, there's some weird uber sensitivity going on in here

Jezus I wander if what you wrote offended people, how those people survive in the real world?

I had more money than sense when I bought my 1080, since then I realized I do not need this yet as only on 1080P (1440P screen used for movies mainly) but later on when I get a pair of 4K screens I will get best single GPU at the time and again use the more money than sense approach
