How long until other vendors like Overclockers etc start selling them?

I need to go SLI on this thing, but shirley when other vendors start selling them they wont be priced at what i payed £1,099,00?

Hmm, have you looked at the pricing of the other reference cards on the green site? Competitively priced?

I don't get why people think they'll get a better deal buying from a third party vendor. I noticed someone else mentioned buying a bridge but prefer not to buy directly, I don't get it :D. THird party retailers have to make a profit too so........
 
NVIDIA only, the message from them is this isn't really targeted at those that just want to game. It's sort of a weird one though like in the betting shops they put "don't bet what you can't afford" when you know they really want you to sink all your money in to them. They know some gamers won't be able to help themselves get the card and probably love that.

I have a sneaky feeling they will release a card part of their full Geforce GTX gaming family based on this core to aftermarket brands and retailers, which will sell by the truck load.
 
Only nvidia this tlme around. Probably for the best as it would be more expensive to buy from a 3rd party vendor. I'd have expected about £1150 from the likes of Asus and MSI.

For example GTX 1080 FE is £619 direct from nvidia. Asus FE £680.

Yup, it's not targeted at gamers, but has the FP16 and FP64 performance removed, making it bad for deep learning and bad for heavy duty work. To be honest, the information at launch is so bad and weird, I can't actually find out if it has the GP100 shaders that have 2:1 performance vs FP32 or not, it seems like it has GP104 shaders, so lacking real FP16 performance. In which case it has no improved compute, deep learning, anything performance outside of raw horsepower.

This literally solely talks about gaming features, it mentions new features for gaming new VR, it mentions SLi and how it gives improved gaming performance. There isn't a mention of compute, deep learning, HPC, number crunching or professional work of any kind on the entire page.

This card is in fact targeted almost exclusively at people who want to game by the looks of it and it's listed under desktop GPUs, not any of the professional/compute sections of the website. Price and the way they've marketed shipped this once again looks like a highly limited volume early launch.

OcUK have got the option to use the new Pascal Titan in PC builds but IIRC Gibbo said they had no plans to do so at the moment.
 
If you've already got one then you must have seen the line that states you can only buy it direct from Nvidia.

Titan is their flagship card it won't have a price drop for along time.
 
Gaming is front and centre of Nvidia's Titan marketing.

I would have thought a titan xp would be plenty of power for an x34, are you planning on adding a couple more monitors or something?

You should have seen what one of my Pascal titans did to the Thief Benchmark maxed @2160p.

And it is an absolute beast at gaming.

Job done NVidia.

Yes, monster performance from a single GPU and 2k Ultrawide has quite a few less million pixels than 2160p.
