Would it be better though? We don't know the clocks and if you kept your VRAM usage down I don't see why the Z would do better.

He's saying the 780tis would have better (gaming) performance. The laws of Physics tell us that you'll probably be able to run the 2 780 tis at higher clocks than the 2 chips on a single Titan Z.

 

[Tidus_Great]

and this is why i'll stick to ps4

 

[Stet]

and this is why i'll stick to ps4

Another weird thing to say.

 

[Smokey]

Like MK and Durante said, you'll probably get faster performance at $1400-1600 with two 780tis. Hell throw a third in there and you're still $900 away from a Z.

Getting a Z would be more about the product design than the results.

 

[childplease]

and this is why i'll stick to ps4

You don't have to spend 3k dollars to beat the ps4.

Go to the I need a pc thread and they can help you out you can crap on a ps4 with some 150 dollar to 250 dollar video cards.

 

[lethial]

I wonder how these guys announce the price with a straight face.

 

[UrbanRats]

wonder if Titan GT will be canon.

.

anyway I think normal gamers should just get 6GB 780 Ti (may/june) and wait for maxwell.

If i'm spending 500+€ on a 780ti 6GB, i'm not changing it 8 months later.

 

[Roo]

Gimme 2, please.

 

[Galucha]

Why does it feel like they're milking Kepler?

 

[mkenyon]

Would it be better though? We don't know the clocks and if you kept your VRAM usage down I don't see why the Z would do better.

They *always* underclock dual GPU cards, so it's like two weak Titans. The 780 Ti is actually better than a Titan.

Why does it feel like they're milking Kepler?

Haha, "Downgraded" games at 1080p - enjoy.

 

[UrbanRats]

If only cheaper GPUs than this existed!

 

[Durante]

and this is why i'll stick to ps4

Yeah, I feel you. Personally, I ride a bicycle because Ferraris exist.

Spoiler

Actually, I really don't own a car, but that's not the reason

 

[Saint of Killers]

So is it for professional use or for gamers?

 

[Portugeezer]

Not even in 3 years any PC game will push this card, what will they be releasing in the future?

 

[Red Rudolph]

If we allow this to continue, we may see the end of gaming as anything but yet another temporary distraction for the wealthy e.g. yachting.

Do you even think bro

 

[Neuro]

So is it for professional use or for gamers?

Well they had UE4 running on it, so I am assuming it might come to gamers by the next console generation...

 

[DonMigs85]

Dayumn I'd love to get 2 of these and pair them with the upcoming 8-core 16-thread Haswell, 32GB DDR4 and the fastest SSD money can buy.

 

[sunofsam]

Not even in 3 years any PC game will push this card, what will they be releasing in the future?

Who knows, exciting times!!

 

[Durante]

So is it for professional use or for gamers?

It works well for both. But in the professional space its price/performance ratio is highly competitive, while in the consumer space it's insane.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This is unacceptable. This is why I say that PC gaming is the most dangerous movement in gaming. We have companies like MS and Sony selling high end graphic consoles for a fraction of the price of this thing and they do this whilst delivering the majority of the power that this thing does (8GB DDR5 in PS4/ 12GB DDR5 in nvidia Titan= 66% of the power). At this rate and with console sales dropping due to bad word of mouth from many unappreciative gamers, we may face a time soon that anyone who isn't a PC gamer is unable to afford to game. If we allow this to continue, we may see the end of gaming as anything but yet another temporary distraction for the wealthy e.g. yachting.

this is hilarious

 

[mkenyon]

So is it for professional use or for gamers?

Yes.

 

[AdamMPSP]

Haha. Why are gamers so "unappreciative"???

 

[SwiftDeath]

So is it for professional use or for gamers?

It is being positioned in such a way to suggest consumer/gamer use but the majority of the sales will likely be by professionals looking for a cheap build I think

 

[Caffeine]

my 7990 is ready for a long drawn out 6 episode battle against the titan z where my 7990 will die and I hope people wish me back to life using the dragonballs :3

 

[Smokey]

The Witcher 3
Star Citizen

4k gaming? Multi monitor setup. Plenty of ways to use this card. People just hung up on the price.

And then there's the professional side.

 

[GHG]

So are they not releasing a 790 then with this coming out?

 

[Neuro]

The Witcher 3
Star Citizen

4k gaming? Multi monitor setup. Plenty of ways to use this card. People just hung up on the price.

And then there's the professional side.

Neither of those two games will use this card as a benchmark, I am not a tech guy but I have always heard that they make it for the lowest common denominator and scale it up....

 

[adamantypants]

Anyone doubting performance or price in this thread should really familiarize themselves with Moore's Law.

 

[Objectively Bad Opinion]

So are they not releasing a 790 then with this coming out?

This is the "790"

 

[Desty]

$2999 video card? WTF!

 

[Rosur]

Damn... Be good for 4k gaming and bitcoin/ dogecoin mining.

 

[ICPEE]

I didn't need that kidney anyway.

Omg DEAD

In the gaming space, that must be far more RAM than it could possibly use though? By the time you'd need that much, there's be far cheaper cards that can outprocess it. Someone posted the RAM useage for games at 4K yesterday and i'm pretty sure Crysis 3 only clocked in at around 3GB.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

The only remaining question is which GAFer will have it first.

 

[dark_prinny]

$3000, uh?

Wich market is this targeted for, anyways?

 

[Smokey]

Go look at the Witcher 2 Uber mode benchmarks on PC.

It's 6GB of RAM. There are two Titans on a board so that's how they come up with 12GB.

I personally tested Crysis 3 maxed out @ 2560x1600... My VRAM was between 2990gb - 3017gb.

That's on a single 2560x1600 screen. What about those who have two more of those screens? What about those who have 4k multi monitor setup?

When you have a product like this those are the types of setups you're talking about.

you have a heart of gold. dont let them take it from you

Some GAFfer just getting into desktop PCs should buy one and insta-win this thread here.

Oh...so they're half lying then. 12GB! (half useable...)

 

[Smokey]

Technically they aren't lying.. There really is 12GB on the board.

The word you're looking for is marketing.

 

[King_Moc]

Yep, that's marketing. Half lying.

Point taken about multi-monitor setups at over 1080p each though. I imagine there's some people out there somewhere into that.

 

[Neuro]

Go look at the Witcher 2 Uber mode benchmarks on PC.

You just ratified what I was saying, Witcher 2's benchmark is the X360 and then it has been scaled up for PC for different settings, they did not make the Uber Mode on the PC first and scale it down to the X360...

Star Citizen will also be developed keeping in mind a mid range PC not a $3000 graphic card and Witcher 3 will use the Xbone as a starting point I'd assume and then scale it up for the other machines...

 

[kutthoat5150]

Is there a date for this thing? By the time star citizen alpha, witcher 3, or watch dogs comes out I think we'll be pretty close to 800 series.I wonder how many more times nvidia plans to milk Kepler products,it feels like this is the largest product lineup they ever had in one generation

 

[thunder_snail]

Is that one fan I'm seeing on the card? Can they cool this raging beast with a single fan?

[jim2point0]

Bet it still cant run ACIV on max settings @ 60fps

My 2 680s in SLI can....

Come on.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

It's for researchers apparently.

Yes, research on whether 4k at 120fps is possible.

Here's the announcement video that was show during the keynote.

No Maxwell 20mm in sight, I think I might grab a 780 ti 6gb.
