Pascal Titan-X Launch

Would be pretty worried with the NVIDIA direct warranty if the reference cooler is stripped off. Such a shame as this card deserves to be under water.

i am hoping no one is foolish enough to try and RMA the card with the water block still on but it wouldnt suprise me :D

Do direct NV cards have stickers on the screws

What I think they might do, when AMD VEGA comes out, if it is faster than the 1080, instead of releasing a 1080Ti, they mght just lower the MSRP on the titan, I say this because the Titan X is already a cut down card from 3840 CUDA cores, whereas the maxwell Titan X was a full card and the 980ti was a cut down Titan X. Or they might release one with less CUDA cores than the Titan X.

The reason I am not rating AMD very well is because the 1080 is already 30% faster than the Fury X in a lot of games etc. The fury X already has HBM memory bandwidth and 4096 cores... Also the RX480 does not seem to have much IPC improvement over the 390x, it just has more MHZ.

The 480 is just a laptop/console part which has been overclocked, overvolted as a stop-gap, the real desktop GPU replacement from AMD for the fury X has yet to show its face, i have no doubt AMD can get a 30% perf increase out of vega, what happens beyond that in terms of % i will shrug my shoulders but I am willing to bet that it will be quicker than a custom 1080 and Nvidia will need to release a 1080ti/Titan X Black to retain their profit so they can drop the price of the 1080 to compete.

The Titan range has never allowed for custom boards from board partners, that has been left to the Ti range. If you want better coolers, the ability to push the overclock, overvolt without using a custom bios and use a water-block a 1080ti will be the only option.
 
I guess they will not release a 1080ti until AMD does something, but also by the time that happens, it (according to rumors) will be close to the Volta launch, which is supposed to be on 16nm now and in 2017. I think getting a 1080 now and waiting for 11xx is a good idea, that is what I did anyway. But yes obviously this Titan X will be good, but 1200 is a massive MSRP, I think it should have an AIO on it like the fury X for 1200, or a better cooler with 2 or 3 fans. Also would be more worth the MSRP if it was full chip with 3840 cores..

It says the TX is at 1.8Ghz ...

Hmm if that is correct then possibly only 20-25% faster than 1080 for double MSRP.

That is worse than I expected... I was thinking 25-30% would be "not great" and 40% would be "good".

Was hoping for 40%, 35% at worst...
 
So about 30% stock vs stock,, could be better, but it all depends how well they clock. If they also go to 2.1GHz like the 1080's then they will still be 30% faster. A lot of money but it will still be the fastest card you can get.

Yeah you'd really have to hate your hard earned money to buy a Titan XP, Worth waiting for the fully enabled core.

They said on the main site it will be available to select system builders too.

Well that doesn't include ocuk as gibbo says they aren't stocking them. All that means is that system builders can buy them to include in their builds. Doubt very much they will be allowed to sell them as discreet cards.

So, anyone seen any reviews yet. I am so undecided on a multi card purchase...

Just the fire strike scores. And since nvidia hasn't given any out for review, I doubt we will see anything better than some dodgy home done benchmarks come 2pm.

Don't expect to see any remotely looking like a review until tomorrow and even then only the basics.

Wouldn't surprise me if that's the only way to get one in the UK.:(
 
What an utterly tragic state of affairs the PC gpu market is in that we can have a card 24-29% faster than the midrange, probably crippled fp64, cores disabled and it costs $1200. Sad times indeed
