NVIDIA to release GeForce Titan
- Thread starter mkenyon
- Start date
Apparently it's supposed to be out this month, so probably not.
Titan is it's own thing. 700 series will be released in the 4th quarter of 2013 and probably pushing Maxwell to a 2015 release.
From what I've been reading the new line of single GPUs in the 700 and 8000 series won't be as powerful as the titan. The Dual GPU cards from those series will be more powerful though.
COME ON NVIDIA! Please give me a release date.

Thanks guys.
Trying to convince myself that I can wait until the end of the year. I have a GTX 580 so it's hardly as though I'm suffering. But hearing of new GPUs makes one's fingers twitch.

Come by my place and pick up my 680s when I get a pair of these
I could still be tempted by Titan. Just worried the GTX780 might pop up later this year and spank it for considerably less money.
I'll have to do that.
You really should, their series of articles on frame latency is awesome.

What's better is that it will be bought by many ("many" compared to the units produced, that is).
Count me in.
Like a fool, I threw my money at a 2gb GTX 680 SLI set up. And because I game at 2560x1600p, my 2gb memory is not cutting it. I really wish I would have just gotten two 4gb 670's initially.
I hope this doesn't come out at the end of Feb though. Had to pay for Coachella + Comic Con this month.

What do you guys use to sell your current GPUs? EBay? If so does it matter enormously if you throw the boxing away?

680 Titan will probably beat the 780 easily in performance. Since Nvidia uses x90 for dual gpu cards and the rest of the numbers are reserved. Titan x80 and Titan x90 will probably be the highest end cards from now on.

I'll pay the shipping fees if you send one to me.

I sell it to people I know for roughly 25% or so of what I paid or give it away. I ate the cost. It served it's purpose. I just dont want to deal with housing it.
EDIT: Didn't know the Titan was dropping in Feb. When I made that post, I was assuming that it would be out in 3 months or so. I'll have to sell my cards now.

Badass.
I'm in the same boat, especially since I started gaming at x1600 after I bought mine and <2GB isn't really cutting it.... Definitely wish I'd bought the 3GB version or had waited for the 680...
Or maybe the 7970 6gb ghz edition? I decided it was worth the cost for future proofing! Should handle 4k video too.
Proven FAKE. I dont know why people give that site any hits at all ..

omg I totally though you were EviLore lol at that Kazification
I've considered switching back to AMD. But generally, I've found that the Kepler GPU's: I. Run cooler. II. Less power consumption.
And (this is purely subjective), but I like the Nvidia control panel more, and think their driver updates are more timely, and more consistent. I gamed on AMD cards for 3 years, and have been gaming on Nvidia cards for 2 years (since the 680).
But in terms of price and performance, you are right. You could get two 6gb models of that for the price of a Titan + $300 change. Save yourself close to $600 (terrible at math, so someone slap me if I'm off). It's really tempting.
Edit: titan will be 899+ 899, so 1,800 vs 540 + 540 = 1,080. So you would save closer 800 lol

Which one? SweClockers or PCOnline? either way 85% of GTX 690 + 6GB GDDR5 in a single GPU would probably perform better than an actual 690 anyway.
Damn, so it looks like it really is coming at the end of FEB. Going to have to scramble for some money. Guess I'll have to sell my 680s now.
When the 680 first dropped, didn't it tell out rather fast?

Yea, I'm getting rid of my 2 680s and getting 2 of these.

This reeks of test bed run and trying to make back some money off of super enthusiasts.
How can people afford to do this? Here I am, trying to figure out how in the hell to budget a new graphics card to replace my aging 260, when I've got to worry about paying for a new set of tires, a replacement car part, keeping a roof over my head, groceries, medical bills, and school.
What I would do for a decent income.

Yes - it all comes down to transistor count - 780 will use same 28nm process as 680 so the gains at most will be in gtx 480->580 area (probably less since 480 was restricted by bad heat problems)
That post was douchey, I apologize.
I was originally going to say something else, but lost my train of thought. Given the time this is coming out, I'll probably have to sell my cards. I was going to save up for this (was expecting April-July release).

when did nvidia say the 700 series is coming at the end of the year? I thought it was getting released around April

usually give away my old gear to my nephew.
he will be receiving my 2 670s as soon as this bad boy launches.

Is this confirmed? I've read elsewhere that the 700 series will be released in march of this year?
The Q2 date was a rumor and never confirmed by Nvidia however the newest one is that the 7xx (and AMD's 8xxx) has been delayed until Q4.

Tom's report on the delay rumor from the Swedish website. Somebody want to make a new thread?
Is the 700 series even going to be much of an upgrade? Like what percentage?
Ugh, this is so ridiculous.
But really, who didn't see another delay in 20nm GPUs coming?

Holy shit, that's expensive. I'm still truckin' along with a 5850. That was a pretty good value at the time.
What is supposed to be the good value/performance card this time around?

I think the 'Ti' cards are still top of the line with regards to price/performance, so perhaps the 660 ti ?
Yeah, the 660 Ti beats my GTX 580 pretty bad In most games I believe

Hm, yeah that one seems like a pretty decent value. Makes me wonder if I should upgrade sooner or later. The only thing that's on the horizon is SimCity, and my setup ran the beta just fine.
No, just no. The extra 2gb wouldn't practically make any difference. Even at those resolutions the performance of the 670 is almost identical between the 2gb and 4gb cards (with SLI too)

They have comparisons of the 2GB vs 4GB models too and quite frankly it's a waste of money. I always see people recommending the card with more ram but right now the people buying these high end cards end up buying a newer card by the time the extra ram actually starts to count, if it ever will that is. 2GB cards won't be running out of ram any time soon.

I don't know of many situations where you wouldn't be CPU bottlenecked 95% of the time with this GPU. Guess we'll see when the reviews start rolling in.
