The original Pentium 4 Extreme Editions were server grade Xeon MP Gallatins downgraded to ultra high end Desktop. You couldn't get those 2 MB Cache L3 on any other Pentium 4 Northwood of that era. So yes, its the same thing.Quote:

You have two to pick from......but they will come in 1st week of march
So you might go sane by then
It really depends on what games/benchmarks that you run. There are certain instances in which 3-Way SLI scales very well, and others in which it does not. Just check the reviews for your games/benchmarks to see what you can expect.Quote:

Upgrading from a 2010 ACME cardboard box to a 2012 Ford Focus sounds legit enough to me, bro.Quote:

@#$% it, I'll just wait for Titan. What the @#$% is my problem?
My deal is that I'm still running an x58 mobo with PCIe 2.0. I'm wondering just how much performance I'll be missing out on by sticking with my i7 920 @ 4Ghz on PCIe 2.0 x8 vs. an i7 3770K+ on PCIe 3.0 x8 @ 6030 x 1200 resolution.
Probably this?Quote:

Sorry I was just going off your sig again, your sig says Crysis 3. My 5970s have no issues with Crysis 2 at 2560x1600. Different story in Crysis 3.
You seem like you get angry easy so I won't bother you anymore. Going to watch Spartacus and go to sleep, best of luck with the Titan/670 situation. I managed to grab one today, still on the hunt for a second.
LOL, only lately. When new hardware comes out, my mind goes into overload mode. Good luck on your hunt, and 'Spartacus' must be code for hardcore :banana::banana::banana::banana: or something right? ;)Quote:

Still on for a Q2 launch for 7XX?

imo if 7xx launch was so close nvidia won't play the titan card.Quote:

Drivers could use some work in some titles.
Titan will just be faster than their single GPU 7xx offers.Quote:

more important 7xx will be cheaper :) . but didn't know they need to get rid of extra gk110 then this could happen but still if i were nvidia marketing dept :D if 7xx series launch is near then i would choose to release titan with them.Quote:

You also need to remember Titan is being released as a gaming GPU, so its more comparable to non server CPUs. Otherwise you should be looking at teslas and fire GLs which cost several thousands for an equal comparison.
@Urbansmooth, you're not going to notice any difference between PCIE 2.0 and 3.0. The difference between X58 and X79 for gaming is minuscule, the only thing that's really worth the upgrade is Sata III if you need that. I'll be raiding a pair of M4s on Sata II soon, not really worth throwing out my mobo and CPU at all.
I'll stick to a single 680 and skip this gen and SLI now.
I dunno, man.Quote:

I think they are doing it just right from marketing perspective.
i agree i think they will do more money then they expect from this titan. i don't have marketing experience just write about which fits me. in this situation i think if they release 7xx series with titan leading them it will sure impress me more so becuase if this i said if 7xx series launch is as close as q2 i would prefer to release titan with them.Quote:

You mean H2 right? More like Christmas time? I reckon 780 will be close to Titan, with less ram and an affordable price tag.Quote:
