I should replace my 980 for SLI'd Titan X's for my 1080p monitor.

 

[Netherscourge]

The Titan X reference board measures 10.5" long.

Sweet Jesus. I'm gonna have to rearrange some things to fit that sucker.

[Nachtmaer]

1/32 double precision is interesting.

Do any games/applications actually use DP? I don't see why you would need that level of precision unless you are simulating galaxy collisions.

There were rumors and speculations about GM200 having lower DP which sort of got backed up by Nvidia launching a respinned GK110 for their Teslas. I guess they were right after all.

And my uneducated guess says no, games don't need that much precision.

 

[Randam]

is the titan x even sli capable?

 

[Stevey]

Sweet Jesus. I'm gonna have to rearrange some things to fit that sucker.

My 780 is 11" long :v

just bought 2

Was waiting for TigerDirect or Amazon, so hopefully NVIDIA ships fast

now this is pretty epic.

I'm just curious, though, if there are any games in existence that can even utilize this much extremeness?

 

[Smokey]

is the titan x even sli capable?

Do you even SLI bro?

Yes it is

 

[Stimpack]

Sweet Jesus. I'm gonna have to rearrange some things to fit that sucker.

That's actually rather short.

 

[scottXplosion]

is the titan x even sli capable?

Yes, 4-way SLI.

 

[cleveridea]

Actually quite a boring release since performance is as expected and price is "reasonable" in the sense that it matches prior Titan. They could have priced higher based on current availability of GPU's (this will change at radeon launch) which is what I expected ie $1099 or $1199 given no other single GPU (ie not x2) comes close to performance.

Those with the money can buy the best performance card that has excellent power/heat metrics. Its not prices so high that it makes 980 or 970 SLI the no-brainer for those with high disposable incomes. Its nice being future proof in terms of VRAM which currently isnt required beyond 4GB in most cases, but who knows what the next few years bring (my timeframe for upgrading a PC)

 

[Zoned]

4k + MSAA + physX and unoptimzed shit might make use of all that power.

 

[LordOfChaos]

So they cut the double precision rate, from the second Anandtech page? There goes the Titan being a "cheap" professional card, at least for some of its uses, I guess. Guess they didn't want it cutting into Quadro anymore - why charge 1000 when you can charge 2499.

1/32 DP, I believe.

 

[Dictator93]

Tears thread

Now to wait on the little brother / sister variant of this card!

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Smokey, the only question that matters is: how many are you buying?

 

[Corgi]

best part about this thread is that this year will be a good time to upgrade from 780 when the ~$500 variant hits.

 

[epmode]

EVGA pls.

That minimum memory requirement is crazy.

 

[undercoverb0ss]

What time does Newegg usually list new products?

From Geforce.com "If that’s you, you can buy TITAN X direct from NVIDIA today, and from our partners in the coming weeks."

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Any reviews that compares the titan x vs sli 970/980s?

 

[bathsalts]

1/32 double precision is interesting.

Useless for games, though it contributes to the way previous Titans were able to keep their value and Amd doesn't offer anything with compute performance outside of high speed stuff in the several thousands of dollars.

 

[Nachtmaer]

The reasons listed in Anandtech's article make sense to me. Cut down on DP units to cram in more SMMs making it basically a bigger GM104. But yeah, those were my thoughts too. So much for the Titan line being a "best" of both worlds.

Waiting for 970s also

 

[Sargon]

That minimum memory requirement is crazy.

The review at Tom's Hardware used a 16 GB test setup, so the 24-48 GB requirement has to be an error.

 

[cleveridea]

Tears for what?

I think the price is quite reasonable for those with high disposable incomes given that no single card comes close in performance. Those wanting better value can get 970 or 980 SLI if they want non-AMD. Titan means thats it future proof if games need more than 4GB, which I imagine nVidia is pushing games developers to use since its likely their coming marketing push).

Not sure I would pay $999 but I certainly dont think the price is ridiculous, I think people can easily justify buying these things.

I thought nVidia would take advantage of owning the high end single GPU card with 980 with a price for X higher than the prior Titan (eg using the higher VRAM as a reason to charge an addition $100-200, potentially reducing price as AMD release their new cards)

 

[TheAdmiester]

The review at Tom's Hardware used a 16 GB test setup, so the 24-48 GB requirement has to be an error.

It's either a missing dash (2-4GB and 4-8GB) or they used the requirements from a Quadro or something.

Apparently in the manual it mentions a 2GB minimum, so...

 

[cyen]

I´m really on the fence between this and the 390x for playing at 4k, seeing the benchmarks it seems that the 390x will probably have an advantage at 4k since the Titan X drops the advantage from 1600p to the 290x when dealing with games in 4k.


"The Titan X was also 47% faster than the R9 290X on average at 2560x1600 while it was just 36% faster at 3840x2160."

"While the Titan X was just 8% slower than the R9 295X2 at 2560x1600, it was 22% slower at 3840x2160"

I really dont know if i can wait until june without impulse buy the Titan X

 

[OldGangWarily]

Waiting for 970s also

DF posted a video of comparing between Titan X, Titan X OC, 970 SLI and 980 SLI at 1440p.

[Sargon]

So will there likely be non-reference models of this card coming later, or is this it?

 

[Dr Dogg]

I wonder what the EVGA Tax is going to be on their Superclocked?

Sadly clocks are TBA. Though I'm going to have itchy fingers until 2pm tomorrow anyways.

[wachie]

The only tears will be of those once this card drops in price very quickly Minus the DP compute, this is not going to hold like Titan, especially with AMD's own flagship and possibly their own variant of the "Ti" version around the corner.

 

[Dubz]

My mind's tellin me nooooo

But my bodyyyyyyy

My bodyyyyyyyyy's tellin me yesssssssssssss

Can't stop laughing.

 

[Sargon]

Apparently in the manual it mentions a 2GB minimum, so...

I found this elsewhere on the Nvidia site...

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

PCI-Express-compliant motherboard with one dual-widthx16 graphics slot
One 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector
Minimum 600 W or greater power supply
300 MB of available hard-drive space
2 GB system memory (4 GB or higher recommended)
Microsoft Windows 8 and 8.1, Windows 7 or Windows Vista

 

[Zeth]

Wow, the box is beautiful.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Batman
Witcher 3
BF Hardline
Ass creed

Seriously? I highly doubt these two but will give you Batman and Witcher of course
Ass Creed's tend to be shoddy ports from the consoles

 

[Despera]

one thing's for sure... proper VR gaming won't be cheap

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I take it this is more or less useless for gamers stuck at 1080p right? I have a 2600K cpu to go with it.

Edit: looks like SLI 970 is the way to go if I'm really interested in throwing more money at my PC. Already have a 970.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Meanwhile, AMD's R9 290X is still the best choice for those wanting the best value flagship.

WTF

Well, that's the truth.

 

[Hawk269]

Here's my launch article: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-x

And if you feeling flush you can buy TITAN X direct from our site today: http://www.geforce.com/geforce-gtx-titan-x/buy-gpu

Any questions? I'll be around.

I got a question for you Andy.

Is it true that you (Nvidia) are the only one's selling the card as of today and that you are not allowing AIB partners to sell them for up to 2 week's? None of your AIB partners have them up for sale and the ONLY place to order as of right now is directly through you guys.

When can we expect to see them available from your very own AIB partners?

 

[Daverid]

Now just to wait for this thing to arrive in Australia...

And have a good cry over the price tag since the US dollar is so strong, and the Aussie dollar is weak, which means buying from Aussie retailers is actually cheaper than Amazon, but our retailers still sting you HUGE.

But I can't wait, going to destroy The Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight.

 

[knitoe]

Choices:

Buy 2 from Nvidia with taxes.

Buy 2 from Amazon tomorrow with taxes and Prime shipping.

Buy 2 from Newegg tomorrow with no taxes and pay for fast shipping.

I dont think even that will happen in terms of the Titan, I mean why not price this at the highest tier - if people are locked into GSync or 3D vision or whatever, this justifies the price. They could give a Ti 8GB so its competitive with AMD marketing wise but leaves some room for justifying the Titan priced higher.

I'd like to be proved wrong so I can afford to buy one of these in a few months for a few hundred less, but I really dont see the price as outrageous even if the AMD rumors turn out to be true (eg in my case I am locked into 3D vision so I would pay more for nVidia for that reason alone, within limits)

As of now my plans are to buy potentially a 980 card on a SLI motherboard (with option of adding a second card) then looking at upgrading if Pascal arrives and makes sense financially. NVidia kind of osborne'd themselves with the Pascal info, so I would personally not be interested in Titan at this price but I dont think its outrageous pricing given the performance, wattage and VRAM advantage.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Waiting for 970s also

SLI 970's/980's are going to notably outperform a single Titan X. Of course, the usual SLI caveats apply. If those don't bother you, then your way forward should be clear.

might just be me, but Newegg always delivers 2-3 days with free shipping. You save like ~$140 in taxes depending on state.

Newegg is tax-free for me in Illinois. Amazon was too until about a month ago.

 

[2002whitegt]

So according to:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-x-review

The Titan x overclocked at 4k matches or beats up a 980 sli in most tests. If so that's impressive and makes me confused on what to do. Get another 980 or sell and get Titan X.

 

[dr_rus]

Well, that's the truth.

Well if we're talking about the best value flagships here then it is hard to beat the iGPU in Intel Core i7 chips. /sarcasm
