awww, sour grapes much ?
Not at all. I can afford the new Titan, however there are much better things to invest my money in. Plus my 1070 provides all the performance I need in the games I play, at 1440P

1080s too expensive lol, i remember when the 4GB Fury Xs, that were barely faster than the 980s at the time of release, were going for £650 a pop

Ok fair enough after doing the maths its seems that there is something else on the GP100 chip but why would they disable cores on the P100? Surly the Telsa card would be designed specifically for the job and not have any wasted space on it?
GP100 is going to be for workstation cards. Full FP64 etc.
Are you Lampchop with a new account?
No, they released the 780ti months before the titan black.
But the 780ti and the Titan black weren't the same chip as the titan. They were made from a new improved GK110B chip.

Come on Gibbo give us a clue, what's happening here.
Yields and power (performance per watt). Disabling part of the chip increases yields and likely increases the performance per watt slightly.
The P100 tesla chip is for supercomputers and deep learning. This requires many many chips, and also performance per watt is largely more important than performance per individual chip. Since they'll be using so many of them together.
290X didn't beat a Titan when it came out. It was near enough to be competition, though.

Very true. I remember many discussions over it and "But price" was thrown about a fair bit.

nah, pretty sure 1070 can handle anything at 1440p.

I was thinking same thing other day.
Why is it if you disagree with something like Titan lineup people jump to the defence with you can't afford one bah bah black sheep?
I have the money to buy, but I would sooner spend my money more wisely. People should just wait for the Ti lineup.
The $1200 price is worrying as it leaves the door open for a $1000 1080 Ti. I paid £599.99 for my MSI Gaming 980Ti a year ago which is one of the best 3rd party cards around. Thats the same price of the cheapest 3rd party cooled 1080s at the moment which is just nuts!
I know the pound has taken a hit but this is mostly because nvidia have hiked the price of their cards up a notch across the board.

Agree, was the case with the 980 Ti which had an excellent price in response to the Fury X. Sadly AMD won't even come close to this type of performance.
Based on my rather mediocre maths skills, this will be no more than 30 percent faster than a 1080, factoring in the reduced clocks. It will probably start at £1100.
Very tempting but I'm sticking to my 1080 preorder especially since I paid over £100 less than its current price pre-brexit. I also really want an AIO cooled card.

No need to tell other people how to spend their money or chastise them for doing so. It's theirs after all, not yours.
It was near enough to be competition? What? They were practically equal in performance. And the 290x only improved with every driver release. And don't forget the custom cards were ahead of the Titan.

Ay, been waiting for this bad boy. But this is disappointing to me. Still GDDR5X and that massive price man.
Still I imagine although not that impressive on paper this still performs like a monster. Nvidia have simply priced this off the market for me. This whole gen has been priced jacked, where you have the 1060 coming in at old 970 price, 1070 at 980 price and 1080 at 980 ti price.
Shame because it means even if AMD counters with lower priced products later on they will still be jacked from previous price tier also as Nvidia have raised the milking bar so high.
Left a bit of a bitter taste for me, are Nvidia the new Apple, they certainly have the Nvidia cult following akin to Apple. And the pricing is getting extreme..
I wish AMD could make something competitive like that, but Raja Koduri said that they are still playing catch up and they are about 2 years behind (they have to bridge the 2 years missing gap in development). He also said he keeps pushing his teams for the new tech they are developing and he can't get them fast enough. I really hope AMD catch up soon as our wallets are being smashed by ridiculous pricing in the market. The first signs of good news for our wallets is coming in the mid to low end of the segment with the RX480, it's just a matter of time until they can start challenging the top end.
I'm personally holding out for Volta from nVidia (end of 2017/beginning of 2018), hopefully AMD will be able to catch up in development by then (*fingers crossed*) and the competition will spark a price war (something we all need right now!).
