Pascal Titan-X Launch

[titaniumx3]

I read somewhere that GDDR5X can have memory modules that are not a power of two. Could make it possible to have a card with say 9gb over a 384bit bus.

 

[Griffildur]

There will be a Ti - What do you think they will do with the failed chips?

nice touch

 

[Griffildur]

So who wants to use the TX 4 way SLI PC and who wants the HD5970 one.

uhm ... I will take the Titans, thank you very much!

 

[Razor Time]

There is nothing pointless about the 12gb memory on the TXs, it is their best feature.

and would you expect to see the same amount of VRAM on the next generation of Titans 18 months later?

 

[triss]

LMFAO I can say the same thing about you not listening.

GDDR5X is on the 1080/1070 and that VRAM has been doubled. Explain why the have doubled the VRAM on these cards and not the Titan? Its irrelevant as these cards have doubled in VRAM if they had stayed the same I might see your point but this is not the case.

If you don't buy into the theory then fine that's your prerogative.

They doubled partly to match the 8gb on the AMD cards , atm there isnt any real need for more than 12gb, Cant really double vram every new gen or give it a few gens and we will see 40gb+ gpus :O

1070 has conventional GDDR5 IC

 

[Neutrino101]

There will be no 1080ti, at least not until after AMD's Vega, if at all.

This may well be the case. Nvidia is after all, like any company, out to make money. A TI would be wasted if AMD can't challenge the 1080. Perhaps 2 Titans and no TI for Pascal?

 

[Tommy_Here]

You asked when a top line card ever released with the same amount of memory as the previous top line card. I answered it. You are now trying to use some super lame excuse to dismiss the fact that you thought you had a point and totally didn't.



Are you not listening to anything I'm saying? Why do you just keep repeating this over and over?

It is NEW and BETTER memory. You do not need to add more of it to get a big jump in memory capability. 12GB of GDDR5 is not = 12GB of GDDR5X no matter how much you try and ignore this super relevant fact.

488GB/s man.

Also you are incorrect about the Titan having a crippled core count. Same amount as GP100.

The titan is indeed a crippled card meaning that it should have 3840 cuda cores I sense a repeat of Kepler why they have no competition just like the original titan

I would expect to see 16gb and not to double the VRAM on the Titan.

1070 has conventional GDDR5 IC

True.

 

[Seanspeed]

GDDR5X is on the 1080/1070 and that VRAM has been doubled. Explain why the have doubled the VRAM on these cards and not the Titan?

Because the 970 and 980 were not already saddled with an overkill amount of vRAM. Also the 1070 does not have GDDR5X.

 

[geordiejc]

if its only going to be 25-30% faster than the 1080 - i don't see where a 1080 TI fits because you can make 5-10% up with a decent overclock on the 1080.

 

[Seanspeed]

Well I'm reading conflicting reports on what GP100 actually has. Some original early reports saying 3840 but later ones saying only 3584.

if its only going to be 25-30% faster than the 1080 - i don't see where a 1080 TI fits ?

Same place the 980Ti did.

 

[tommybhoy]

Discounting the crap cards, eventual Pascal line up will be:

Mid End

1060 £250+

High End

1070 £400+

1080 £600+

Ultra End

1080Ti £900+???

TXP £1200+???

Here was me thinking I was mugged off for my 1070, good news however after my OcUK brainwashing sessions have convinced me it was actually steal.

 

[Razor Time]

Because the 970 and 980 were not already saddled with an overkill amount of vRAM. Also the 1070 does not have GDDR5X.

But according to you if you put GDDR5X on a gpu you dont need to up the VRAM.

The Titan is all about an overkill of ram and for $200 more than the last Titan you would expect it to be raised some what. If you dont then thats fine but I for one do.

As I said we will see once the whole stack of the 10 series is released as to how this will play out.

 

[geordiejc]

When I game I use the 12gb TXs as they are the best for it.

I also have

1080s
1070
1060
980 Ti's
980s
Fury Xs
290Xs
And quite a few more I can not be bothered to list.

The point is I am not short of memory options or cards for gaming. Some of the cards above individually are actually faster than the TXs but none of them are as good for gaming at high resolution.

There is nothing pointless about the 12gb memory on the TXs, it is their best feature.

Why do you have so manyh GPU's ? you got 10 kids? lol

 

[humbug]

There will be a Ti - What do you think they will do with the failed chips?

I said "at least not until AMD's Vega", if there using failed chips they will also be slower.

Also, these very well could already be failed Workstation chips.

 

[Seanspeed]

But according to you if you put GDDR5X on a gpu you dont need to up the VRAM

Not if you already had 12GB of it before, no.

The Titan is all about an overkill of ram and for $200 more than the last Titan you would expect it to be raised some what. If you dont then thats fine but I for one do.

12GB of 10Ghz GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus *is* overkill.

It's not 16GB of HBM2 overkill, but still overkill nonetheless.

 

[triss]

I would expect to see 16gb and not to double it the VRAM on the Titan.




True.

GDDR5X is on the 1080/1070 and that VRAM has been doubled. Explain why the have doubled the VRAM on these cards and not the Titan?

So which is it you want to know why its not doubled in one post then in another say you dont expect it.

Titans havent always had Vram jumps,, original titan was 6gb titan black was.. 6gb.
There is no point putting more ram on if its not needed

 

[jommy999]

as much as i love Nvidia cards . now we need AMD to save us all .

 

[loonyk]

Pricewise - £1250-£1300
