Custom cards are coming, but only late 2013Q2.
I might not beable to get one anyways now.
I need to get a new system before hand anyways.
I just blew up my truck, bloody sucks but ohwell I guess...
Well i guess i'll get two lightnings or dcII's whatever first and or easier to mod
Thanks. :)Quote:

yeah, i returned my reference board, want better one, will wait for Lightning or Matrix version
Awesome news, but do you have proof? Link?Quote:

It's up to you if you want to believe me or not, but keep in mind that I haven't been wrong about Titan yet - and I was the first with accurate 3DMark 11 scores :) You're welcome to look further back into my track record if you want, I was also the first to say that Sandy Bridge-E would have "tiered" BCLKs :p:
No need to be so defensive, I will take your word for it, its commonplace to ask for proof on claims people make, I hope you are right though I hate to think what a Titan Lightning would be worth ....
:D
I didn't think he was being defensive, just explaining why ;). I'm quite sure he's right on with his info that he was provided.Quote:

Nope!
6GB is too much, but worthy ( not fully utilized, but semi-decent ) for 5760x1xxx resolution gaming & GPGPU.
PS4, Xbox, etc.... muhahahaha. seriously :D
Doesn't it say "shared ram"? So it's like any low end vid card borrowing system ram when it's free? How much is actually dedicated video ram?Quote:

YOu need understand both use GDDR5 as shared memory between the cpu and gpu , i dont think the choice to use high latency ram is made without the API in mind.. basically the cpu will just support the first instructions landing, and most of the GDDR5 will be used for the gpu with Virtual memory in mind ( basically both cores can land any instruction, codes in the memory who been taken directly for the gpu and vice versa ) thoses consles are highly multithreaded and will use parrallel work as never before. Both support HSA instructions, last DX11.1 multithreading features, OpenCL ( and the list of library is long like an harm ( including PhysX3 on software ) and this with a simple and efficient API / OS dedicated to only one thing, make work this hardware .Quote:

Consoles normally have a lot less overhead than PC's. So this would leave a lot of Ram that could be used as Vram. And filling it up with high quality textures seems one of the easiest things to do.
As GoldenTiger said in the post below yours, I was simply explaining myself. Nobody can keep track of who said what at all times, so it's quite possible that even if you remember my old posts you don't remember that it was me.Quote:

Have you seen the Lightning pic that I hear is circulating? I will try to find it.
Edit: actually it's from the techpowerup article on cebit, haven't these pics already been discussed? Im sure I saw them mentioned already.
:)
[xc] - so your saying the partners will be making non ref Titans but no Lightning?
:(
No, I'm thinking of the financial implications and hearing my wallet whimpering from here :(
haha yes I can feel the pain in my right back pocket building already ....
What do you think? USD1299 RRP so $1500 to the rest of us?
....ouch ....
:(
If I had to say something regarding to this, it would be that both Caches and improvements on a CPU's Branch Prediction Unit could mitigate the cons of using high latency RAM (Which is the reason why I think that performance seems to barely scale by using enthusiast class DDR-III Memory Modules on non-Memory Bandwidth starved systems, like Llano and Trinity). Besides, as far that I recall, GDDR RAM characterized for having higher Timmings, however, they also have much higher working Frequencies. I don't know how worse or better the absolute access latency is when compared to standard DDR, but maybe the performance hit for the CPU side is not that bad.Quote:

I'm apparently still game for this lol.
I hope they hurry there butts up lol :).
As for it existing to set 3dmark recoreds, screw 3dmark :P.
Hell yeah !!!Quote:

To follow up -
My two TITANs from ASUS do 1.0Ghz out of the box on air. I get the feeling that more performance is possible for SLI via driver updates, however they still rock 5760x1200. I hope they are not so rare a setup that NVIDIA spends some more time optimizing SLI.
Games that would stutter with 2x GTX 680s no longer do - however it still feels like more could be squeezed out of these monsters. Very happy with the out of box overclocks!

I think if the lighting edition is able to bypass the TDP limit, I think clock similar to clocked achieved as a 7970. That being in the 1200 to 1300 range. It might take water to get these clocks but percentage wise, the gtx titan is among the better OCers out there.
:rofl:
Titan overclocks like garbage. For most of us they throttle down to unacceptable speeds. I just received mine and am so disappointed in its overclocking performance that its going back. I've never done that before. GPU boost 2.0 does not work as advertised.
My Titan is the worst clocking card that I've received in years.
Here is a user on ocn with a water cooled Titan throttling to 967mhz at 1.012v. Yeah, these cards are amazing clockers. :rolleyes:
