Ha, yea. See my edit.

Funny though cuz I still see people out wearing pants(clearly off work) or long sleeve shirts or even JACKETS. Like, I'm out in t-shirt, shorts and flipflops whenever possible when it's even moderately warm outside. People seem to want to torture themselves. lol

those are not people, they are drones ...

And that's the kind of attitude Nvidia want to convert people to have thinking they got a bargain, 980Ti's were going for that price last year.. now they are charging a LOT more and for a non Ti card.

I have said this since the first Titan card was released. This card serves one purpose, to con people into thinking a ti model and to a lesser extent all lesser models are reasonably priced. Anyone daft enough to buy a Titan card is just a bonus.

Sadly even when its been an insultingly obvious marketing ploy people (including many on these forums) just bend over and pay :confused:

Mid range cards which where the fastest on the planet................

Which some still haven't even been delivered...

How long will those folks have had the "fastest card on the planet" when the Titan comes around?

you make it sound like people buy cards every time a new one is released. Not everyone is Kaap, mkay?

Sadly indeed and to think people actually buy these cards cards and enjoy them.... Crazy innit. This guy down the pub I know buys heinz baked beans but those Aldi ones are much cheaper. I keep telling him to buy the cheaper ones but he ignores my sound advice.

You met him as well then.... He is frivolous with his money and no idea what he does for a living or what his outgoings are but I will keep on telling him to stop lining the pockets of Heinz.

I have used that analogy, although to be fair, my story had Value beans vs Heinz beans ... you took it to a whole new level!

No HBM2. No point.

Just a cash cow from Nvidia. Waste of time.

I tried to play ED on my Rift Tuesday evening but the lenses were steaming up lol

steamed lenses, now I am wondering what ED could possibly stand for?

I need to get me one of these rifts....

smilertoo · 22 Jul 2016 at 21:50

Aren't these aimed at the sort of people who used to buy Quadros?

Haha, at my ripe old age, I would prefer a good meat pie

ED is Elite Dangerous and jaw droppingly good in VR.

GPU Engine Specs:
3584NVIDIA CUDA® Cores

1417Base Clock (MHz)
1531Boost Clock (MHz)

Memory Specs:
10 GbpsMemory Speed

12 GB GDDR5XStandard Memory Config

384-bitMemory Interface Width

480Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)

No HBM 2 for a Titan line GPU :confused:

I will reserve judgement until reviews come out, but looking at those specs I am underwhelmed.

I will eat my hat if big Vega does not beat this. At least in DX12/Vulcan games anyway, which is pretty much what matters going forward hopefully.
