Poor Volta

Too Poor for Volta

I'm actually tempted :eek:

Although knowing how nvidia works, the 2080Ti or whatever it ends up being called will no doubt be nearly as fast as this for a third of the price, and probably won't be too far behind

Dammit... I like having "the best" with each new release... but £2,700 for a GPU... argh

If it was 2x the gaming performance of Pascal then maybe... I just don't think I can use the DP performance... unless that's useful for mining...

Me too... I'd have bought two at that price if they hadn't killed SLi

Unless the gaming performance matches th price increase over the Xp I’ll just have to hold out longer with my 980Ti.

I just wanted to upgrade and wait another 3-4 years. Prices are a little silly.

Seems the Titan has shifted from Top gaming and Prosumer to mostly the latter.
I wonder how the performance and drivers will compare to Quadro cards

Not sure what's annoying me more. The fact it's £2700.

Or the fact I keep wanting to call it the Titan 5

.

Nice card but that price

if it was £1100 I'd be tempted but. No thanks will wait for the consumer cards.

That’s how they catch us! The “mid range” of the 70 and 80 will launch first. Maybe Q3 next year we might see the 80Ti.

That’s a long time until something that may, or may not match a fully unlocked GV100

I'm gonna wait for benchmarks

The die size is just enormous. It'll be interesting to see if this ends up being more than a slightly bigger Pascal with tensor cores added.

Quartz · 8 Dec 2017 at 12:45

The timing is suspiciously coincident with the HDMI 2.1 specification; does the TV have a HDMI 2.1 port?

Did you mean if Volta is just a bigger Pascal or this card? As this card is using the new Volta architecture

StrongSad · 8 Dec 2017 at 12:54

Given that this is very much not a gaming card, I would be surprised if Nvidia made any drivers that would benefit gaming...

bru · 8 Dec 2017 at 12:56

You have to love the point they make about free shipping, I should bleeding well think so at that price.
It does look nice though and only 250 tdp.

I know it's the Volta architecture, I am more curious if it turns out that Volta isn't much more than a 12nm Pascal with more shader cores and tensor cores added.

Hopefully gaming cards early next year then?

£2700 for a single GPU ? Sorry but whoever gets this for "gaming" needs to go see a psychologist.

Agreed I got buyers remorse after a 1080 Ti. Thought that price was ridiculous for a gaming card, and passed it on. Would have to suicide if I bought one of these.

One Vision · 8 Dec 2017 at 13:27

Only way id buy one of these is if i was a millionaire, otherwise ill stick with what i have which is enough.

ihatelag · 8 Dec 2017 at 13:34

I'll wait for the Titan Vp

I remember watching Top Gear back in the mid/late 2000´s. Back then, £300.000- 400.000 was the price for a "hypercar" like the Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg CCX and Porsche Carrera GT. Then the Bugatti Veyron came along. And suddenly hypercar prices exploded to £1 million+, because it proved there was a market for extreme performance and exclusivety, that people were willing to pay for. Take a look at next years 4K monitors for instance, £1500 for the Asus PG27UQ is nearly 3 times what a 1440p 165hz panel is trading for. I bet there's lots of ballers with cash to spare for a £3000 extreme gaming GPU, if Nvidia chooses that path.

The kind of 'baller' who has that kinda money I imagine wouldn't be the type to sit around playing videogames on a £3000 GPU?

Maybe I am wrong..

I inherited a tidy sum from my grandad's estate a few months back, that is just sitting in my bank account, so could easily afford one..or two..or three

but just on principle, there is no way in hell would I ever pay £2700 for a GPU. it's an immoral amount of money to blow on something so trivial, IMO.

Oh, that and the fact I'm just not interested in PC gaming anymore
