NVIDIA to release GeForce Titan
- Thread starter mkenyon
- Start date
Not going to happen. Maybe in the used market, but definitely not for MSRP of the other cards.
This isn't a new generation, and even then, it takes about 6 months after a new gen releases to have any meaningful price drop.

WCCF reports they have a blurred out pic of the PCB.
Dat GPU die. My old 690 for reference:
So tiny in comparison!

Yeah, you're right. And I have a bad case of gearlust, that's the point.
Waiting another year is the right thing to do.
I'm gaming at 1080p too, even though more often than not it is 720p (projector, sometimes in 3D) or 1050p on my desktop. My gtx480 has been rarely put to the test (I can still play all games in 3D at a better framerate than any console game with an absurd amount of AA).
I wanted to gift my Oculus Rift devkit a new card xD

Don't be ridiculous. If you're only gaming at 1080p (not 120hz 3D or triple-monitors), this is a moronic purchase.

Lol, 1080p and 900 USD card.
Don't waste money just to sound cool on an internet gaming board.
Just use all that juice to downsample from like 3200x1800 to improve the image quality and then get a better monitor later on.
What is up with this mentality, just because a game wouldnt push it right this second at 1080p doesnt mean upcoming games would not. Crysis 3 requires a 690 to max, so who is to say upcoming games wont push this card at 1080p in the next six months. When I bought my 5970 people said the same crap, and its lasted 3 years in my current rig, but now it stumbles on lots of games at 1080p.

Exactly PC gaming is excess.

Why do you care? It's his money, not yours.
So did you ordered yours already ?

This thing will not push Crysis 3 to max anyway, it's slower than a 690 and clearly overpriced, it may be interesting in a SLI configuration (not his case).
He's better waiting the new cards or using that money for a better monitor/dual 680.
It will max out Crysis 3 quite easily, in any case you shouldn't concern yourself on what he cares to purchase.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't provide good advice. This would be a fucking moronic purchase for anyone just gaming on a regular 1080p display. There are no 2 ways about it. He could get a 660Ti *right now* for his simple 1080p setup, then get something more powerful than the Titan a year and a half from now when there are games that could actually leverage the power, while spending less money in total.
There are specific use cases where this purchase makes sense. His is not one of them. What is the value of a discussion board if not to discuss pros and cons, perspectives and to offer advice? If discussion ended at "oh hey that's cool!" it serves no purpose at all but some weird form of masturbation. Fuck a circle jerk; I want people to pull me off the ledge if I'm about to do something fucking stupid when there are better options for me available that make more sense for my setup or goals and to point me in the right direction.

I have a GTX 480 (which has 480 CUDA cores) and I like to do a lot of video editing, and Adobe Premiere CS5/CS6 take very good advantage of those CUDA cores to speed up rendering and scrubbing.
Does anyone here know if the Titan's 2688 CUDA cores can all be used by Premiere CS5/CS6, or does that program have a cap on how many CUDA cores it can utilize for scrubbing/rendering? I want to imagine nearly instant renders of my scenes with the Titan.

His money not yours. Repeat with me again. Also some people want to play games above 60FPS especially games like C3. Also techdemos. Not only gamers want to have better GFX.
I think there will be a lot of people buying it just to test new mark2013.

I have a gtx680 and I play the beta at 1080p@max settings with 4x AA
The game is smooth as butter....
You don't need more than a GTX680 to max Crysis 3 at 1080p

As if I don't know that? That's my advice to him. If you don't like it...I don't really give a shit, because I wasn't offering it to you. You can go fly a fucking kite, but the truth of the matter is that it would be a waste of his money for his setup, no more no less.
You don't even have a point to argue other than the sake of arguing itself. Herp derp. Letting someone spend a grand on a part that won't give him a better experience on his rig is irresponsible as someone who knows better in the first place. But maybe you don't know any better either. Either way, I know for damn sure who I wouldn't go to for advice. If I need a "yes man", however, you'll be the first person I PM.
Can't say I've ever heard of (rendering) software with a fixed maximum GPU core support. I don't think that's something to worry about.

Well there have been PC monitors capable of more than 1080p since... how long?

Son, I only do 2560x1600 or higher. Hmph.

PCs are always pushing the boundaries, one way or another. Still remember back in the day maybe 10 years ago visiting the widescreen gaming forums to try to find hacks to force non-widescreen games to 1680 * 1050 and 1920 * 1200
You've seen the reviews already!? Please do share your sources for this amazing data!
Some people like playing with the newest hardware to just play with it. Buying PC parts doesn't *always* have to be about price
erformance. Value is incredibly subjective, and because someone wants something for X reason doesn't mean that it's moronic.You're right though, if you are aiming for 60hz 1080P, it serves no *gaming* purpose. The compute power could be huge for rendering videos, the benchmark capability could be outstanding, and the amount of hits you get to a build log in order to get more free parts increases dramatically.
16.7ms of input lag on top of your display and USB is unacceptable to me for any sort of fast paced shooter. Gimmie dat 120hz/8.3ms.
Having low frame latency has always been a priority for enthusiasts. Shit, back in the days of Quake and Q3A, you always wanted to get your frames above 120. 16.7ms/60FPS used to be the "does the game run well?" answer. It was the baseline of what was acceptable. Only in the last 8 years has this regressed to optimal, which still bewilders me.
Its a good thing Crysis 3 is the last PC game that will ever push graphics then and there is no next gen of consoles around the corner. The point was, if Crysis 3 is close, then there is probably something around the corner that will take advantage of the power, some people also dont buy cards just to upgrade 6 months later.

I am playing at 120hz 3D, though. And I do have three monitors, even though I don't use them for gaming.
I was just saying I want to buy it even though I know I don't need it. What's so bad about it?
Dennis is right xD
And jokes aside, I already said that waiting one more year is the right thing to do. No need to get salty.
Huh? Are you using the beta driver? And making sure SLI works? I got horrible horrible framerates with my GTX 690 until I found out it wasn't using SLI. After some fiddling in Nvidia inspector I'm running the beta at 2560x1600, very high and 1xSMAA with a whopping 60fps.
I'd give it two years. There are probably developers targeting or at the very least researching ways to achieve efficient and effective ways to reach Titan levels of performance.
I thought about waiting for benchmarks but considering the rumor about the Nvidia and AMD delaying their next set of cards (AMD confirmed their delay) I think these are going to be sold out quickly.
I wouldn't mind one for gaming at 1080P. Downsample from 3200x1800 in super-demanding games and enjoy incredible image quality. I'm personally trying to convince myself to hang on to my 660Ti until I can get more than a 680 for the current price of a 680. Hope it doesn't take until Q4.

I'd be concerned about putting down this much cash so close to a new console generation. The prices on high end GPUs typically drop when the performance they offer is no longer considered high end.

The console power will not be as nearly as powerful as this card. SO I doubt it will drop.
