SSJ4 Gogeta?

 

[Zaph]

That's my first thought with this product but the fact that they are using the Titan name has me concerned. They've typically used different branding for professional products.

Titan is a semi-pro card. Many consider it a really, really cheap pro card. Great for freelancers on a tight budget.

As long as they keep prices <$5,000 it's still in line with branding.

 

[cebri.one]

I'm calling it now, it can't run arma 3 at more than 30fps on multiplayer.

 

[EdReedFan20]

What a steal! But seriously, I bet in 4-5 years (or more) SSDs for example, will be available for the current prices of normal hard-drives of comparable capacity.

 

[Ricker]

I'll take a dozen...ridiculous.

 

[mkenyon]

It's CPU bound, cmon now.

A $3000 graphics card? For certain applications, sure, why not. We already have more expensive options available.

Hopefully nobody gets the idea that selling a product like this to gamers is even remotely acceptable, however. GPU prices are already higher than ever and certainly don't need to keep climbing.

What are you proposing? Preventing gamers from buying it? Obviously some will buy it.

 

[Kirye]

God damn, that's more expensive than my computer in general... and all my consoles.. and handhelds.. maybe even my car. Combined.

I want.

 

[jelly]

How much power does this need ?

The Titan series is not really for gaming, but for workstations.

Exactly.

[HoosTrax]

Yeah, if they had slapped the Quadro name on this and said it was the new premium line noone would really make such a big deal about the price. I guess they want to get some of the consumer market wanting to jump in on this one with the Titan branding.

If they slapped Quadro on it, then they might be driving away the gamer market though, as the Quadros typically have their own (non-GeForce) drivers. And there might be some perception that they're not really optimized for gaming and a bit gimpy compared to the equivalent GeForce version of that GPU as a result.

The way Nvidia top card prices keep increasing (gtx 590 too card was $750 3 years ago) I predict Nvidia's top cards will be anywhere between $6000-$12,000 in another 3 years.

Sadly This should be sarcasm but I'm not so sure anymore...

 

[dark10x]

I don't like the idea of it setting a precedent potentially driving GPU prices even higher.

Of course, to be fair, I can understand the lust for super high end equipment. I'm dying for an OLED TV right now. Heck, over the course of four years back between 2006-2009 I dropped more than $15,000 on plasma TVs. :\

 

[rokkerkory]

Just wait 6 months, it'll be 25% cheaper then.

But what other components do you need? What kinda PS?

 

[Yaoibot]

Omg, that price. What the fuck is that? Do I get a fully interactive VR waifu or husbando with my purchase?

 

[Fornaximus]

Not even if I had that kinda money to throw away. I'd feel like the ultimate chump for buying something like that at that price.

 

[renitou]

A sneak peek of my low-mid tier card from 2018?

 

[SillyEskimo]

SLI configuration...

6 grand for gpus alone lol.

Nobody ever said PC gaming was cheap! Well, except everybody.

 

[Jobbs]

I'm curious why this exists? what's the use of it? what games exist that would take advantage of this hardware? and by the time those games do exist, this level of hardware will be much cheaper.

 

[Yaoibot]

Just wait 6 months, it'll be 25% cheaper then.

Quantum generator. Or fission reactor. 10Billawats min. You'll blow the grid in New York just from turning on your PC.

Definitley a "gaming" product. A pretty foolish one at that. 5k gaming lol

There's more to graphics needs than just games.

Given how much some companies spend on Quadros, they have looked at Titans as a cheaper alternative for certain applications. This would be another option for many of them. The Titan branding though means they'll try to get more regular consumers to bite on this.

 

[deadpixel]

Can't wait for the quad SLI benchmarks.

 

[mkenyon]

I see all this talk about Smokey, but you are all forgetting about GAF's most insane member, Sk3tch.

1pcent.com

Can't wait for the quad SLI benchmarks.

They already exist, 4 Titans.

You can only run two dual-GPU cards in SLI for 4-way.

 

[sflufan]

How much power does this need ?

All of it.

 

[The Hermit]

Will sk3tch go backrup when he tries to 3-SLI it?

Also confirms that it's a dual gpu. Wow that's a pretty sucky card then.

 

[Henrar]

So not only dual GPU solution, but also based on Kepler and not Maxwell.

I really, really feel sorry for everyone who'll buy that card when high-end Maxwell reaches market.

Nvidia going after those PC Gaming whales that will try to build a holodeck with a couple of these and Oculus VR gear.

 

[Dennis]

Is $2,999 really that bad when you factor in your heating bill savings?

 

[Raist]

Is $2,999 really that bad when you factor in your heating bill savings?

Indeed.

 

[_woLf]

They can kindly fuck right off.

This kind of bullshit is making me want to get an AMD for my next card.

 

[Zaph]

Nobody ever said PC gaming was cheap! Well, except everybody.

PC gaming gives you choices.

Some of us just shouldn't be given the responsibility to make those choices...

 

[mkenyon]

So not only dual GPU solution, but also based on Kepler and not Maxwell.

I really, really feel sorry for everyone who'll buy that card when high-end Maxwell reaches market.

People who buy cards like this would then sell them and upgrade for a small fee. You're not married to your hardware.

Is $2,999 really that bad when you factor in your heating bill savings?

You'd actually reduce power consumption compared to your two 580s.

 

[PlayStationboy]

Isn't the R9 290X AMDs answer to the original Titan? Can't wait to see their answer to Titan Z. DAT price difference with similar performance

 

[adamantypants]

Someone explain how powerful this is in DBZ terms.

With Nvidia's naming conventions it's like they're trying to draw DBZ comparisons.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Is $2,999 really that bad when you factor in your heating bill savings?

This is the line of thinking winners have.

And on GAF there are only winners.

 

[Oxn]

An 880s gonna be more powerful

 

[Stet]

They can kindly fuck right off.

This kind of bullshit is making me want to get an AMD for my next card.

What a weird thing to say.

 

[Takamura-San]

I can already taste the savings in heating costs.

 

[todd360]

If I win that 5000 dollar visa card off of coke rewards sweepstakes i'm so getting this.

This is Gol D Roger power level in One Piece terms correct?

 

[plagiarize]

So do I buy one of these or three titans as a gamer?

 

[Pirabear]

How many Gokus is this duck-taped together

 

[mkenyon]

No way. Avatar bet on this one.

Three Titans.

Not really. Its high-end consumer video cards are still capped at around the same level. These are prosumer compute cards, a category that didn't exist before. Titan performance for workstation applications sits somewhere between GeForce and Quadro, and they are priced accordingly.
