When is the new Titan killer expected?

I've never actually seen anyone much claim they've had absolutely no issue with one brand and nothing but issues with the other - it seems to be what it gets translated to in some people heads when someone says "I've had a better experience with nVidia than AMD" tho.

Even you must admit that a second card killing driver is unforgivable. I have read a few forums and the 320.18 does seem to be killing cards. The main card from the forums were the 560 ti. My 8800gtx died when installing the original card killing driver.

Is your shift key broken or something? Not one capital letter in all of your posts, if it wasn't for the full stops I'd really be struggling...

Point taken. I tend not to mind my grammar online since nobody else seems to, and until now I hadn't been told that the lack of caps locks can be confusing. I'll mind it from now on. However for future reference if you find my posts confusing you're allowed to ignore them if you want

Don't exspect a "killer" product till AMD/Nvidia switch to a new smaller process , so "Maxwell" for Nvidia (new year) and Volcanic Islands (late this year if your lucky) for AMD.

I agree 100% that 20nm top-end cards will comfortably beat the Titan, and that nothing else will do so until they appear.

However I certainly would not expect any 20nm cards this year from AMD (or Nvidia). TSMC are not cranking out 20nm at all yet, and GPUs with 10Bn+ transistors are not something you can spin off on short notice - they are the most complex devices on the planet.

Expect 20nm cards to appear spring 2014 at the earliest. AMD are likely to release a couple of months ahead of Nvidia, as usual, but it will be 10 months at least as far as I can see. If 20nm is further delayed at TSMC then we could be waiting longer.

Not really confusing, just a bit odd that you could be bothered to add full stops, but no capital letters

Not quite sure how that applies to the point I was making?

This is the third one actually. Though it's the second time they've released one at the same time they released a line up of rebranded cards. Coincidence?

Yep! i remember it as 3.

Believe it or not its actually amd's drivers fault that nvidia drivers keep killing their own cards. :eek:

*Conspiracy* :eek:

Even i realise that amd drivers are to blame for everything, including Nvidia's shortcomings.

nVidia are in rape mode right now. They are focusing drivers on huge benchmark scores to maximize justification for Titan prices.

AMD are currently in backpeddle mode, admitting wrongs of the past and rectifying them.

If AMD had a single GPU Titan competitor, I would go with their current stance.

Apologies my standards must be slipping.

Not a gif but it will have to do for now.

The latest drivers are not that good for benchmarking.

314.22 are much better with multi GPUs for stability.

Sorry only quoted you to get your take as you usually state that nvidia drivers are more solid than amd's. I find it quite weird that this could happen twice with regard to cards dying through drivers.

Wasn't Nvidia planning a titan II or pro version sometime this year.
