Titan X announced, 12GB framebuffer, 8 billion transistors.

OP updated. hah

I for one am hoping for sub $1k... but I think the price rests firmly on what AMD are putting out.

EDIT: I would like to thank the anonymous mod for editing the title!
 
Hopefully below 1000$

Alright, someone enlighten those of us who are ignorant as to how good or bad these specs are.

Compared to a 980/970, how many more transistors does this have? How much better does is it quantitatively?

There are no benchmarks (that I saw? Only entered the stream at the end) so no one can answer the second for you, performance does't scale directly with transistors.

980 had 5.2 billion transistors, so this is not like double or anything, but still a buttload more.

Got a "display driver has stopped responding but has recovered" as soon as I entered the thread. First time it happens since I got my GTX 970, I think it got scared.
 
It's interesting to note that 1.5 years after the PS4 launched that what will likely be a $1000 videocard is only 50% more powerful (8GB RAM vs 12GB here). This is why I find it difficult to start PC gaming despite the usually lower game prices.

This has to be baiting right?

I mean it has to.

lmfao. Good one.

Conflating memory with computational power (just in case anybody else thinks you're serious)

Would it even be worth attempting to SLI this, when I thought SLI drivers were already sometimes hard to come by depending on the game? I've been waiting for a single card like this for a while, but would take two if it means I could put it to use, especially with the VR wars approaching.

Just to note that video card RAM has nothing to do with power, and the console RAM is the total RAM in the console, not just the video card RAM. Greater RAM in the video card allows for larger, more detailed textures and more effects overlaid on each other, but having double the RAM does not equal double the power.

The most difficult part is understanding how it works apparently.

You took the bait hard.

Just be $1200 or less(preferably less), and I'll get 2(maybe 3) of these.

That 12GB framebuffer will come in handy for down-sampling.

12 GB framebuffer PS4 am cry
8 Billion Transistors xbone am cry
Price am cry
