Overpriced for GDDR5X. Where's my HBM2?

Yup, where indeed!

TNA · 23 Jul 2016 at 17:11

Hell no at that price. lol. It does not even have HBM2!

I am more the type that waits 12 months or so to get the same performance for one third the price and use the £600+ saved towards going abroad on a holiday

But I do fancy big Vega with HBM2, so will likely sell what I got and add £300 on top for that early next year

1070 for me and then might pick one up for £350 from the MM when the 1180 comes out. Don't you just love tech.

I havent owned an Nvidia card for well over 12 years, but im tempted to buy this Titan just to see what the fuss is about.

Then promptly trade it in for big Vega when it arrives.

No you won't and you know it. You don't buy Nvidia cards, even though every release you say you" might get this" lol. You bought a Freesync monitor as well, so why even bother saying that?

No, i want to see what the fuss with these Titans is about, AMD have not produced anything on that scale for a longtime if ever, i have a Freesync screen sure, but that Titan will max that screen easily i would imagine? i can live without Freesync to try out Nvidia.

I got £2k to spend, been burning a hole in my pocket for a Looooooooong time, been waiting on Zen and Vega, i can take a small hit to try out a TitanX and then sell it later.

I find it amazing that Nvidia have severely downgraded the Titan series by crippling double precision compute on the cards, yet people still pay the outrageous premium. You're better off with the x80ti line of cards.

Five.Stars · 23 Jul 2016 at 18:05

After being bent over last time, hell no!

*not that I wasn't expecting it, but fancied boarding the Titan train. Doubt I will do so again.

Rather amusing that some here continue to accuse others of being fanboys, or having brand loyalty, act your ages guys! Go play some games!

Tute · 23 Jul 2016 at 18:17

Pipe dream for me, my budget is normally £300.

Then again i've never seen the point of the Titan cards unless you do something that is going to genuinely utilise them. I'd rather take a pair of 1070s, put up with SLI and save myself £400.

LoadsaMoney · 23 Jul 2016 at 18:20

Whats the point, when Nvidia are finished, because of Dx12 and Vulcan

Huntyz · 23 Jul 2016 at 18:23

I feel like Nvidia are hiding something bigger but will wait for benchmarks / prices to see if i feel like buying one.

I just want a single card that's faster than 2 x Overclocked Titan-X's as SLI is dying so i can play new games at 4k

Seriously, you won't buy one, so why say it?

You won't be getting that this gen or possibly the next.

I'm serious, if it's under £1k why not? Big Vega probably won't be here for another year, my 290 is showing its age now, why buy the mid range 1080 as it's going to drop in price soon on the second hand market, I've never owned a Titan, I could buy one for a few months to tide me over til Vega and still sell it and get a Vega from the cash no?

Everyone keeps saying they enjoyed their Titan for a while before buying the next card and still got enough cash to pay for the card. It's kinda like an investment, decent fps while you wait for what you really want with minimal hit on resale?

AlamoX · 23 Jul 2016 at 18:37

this is the real enthusiast card for the new node shrink, and it should expand the number of games playable at 4k @60 significantly.
being so close to 1080 release i think Nvidia could have announced it earlier than this, spare ppl the extra expense on the 1080, although this shouldn't bother real enthusiasts.
