Geforce Titan - GK110 will be a consumer part

[UrbanSmooth]

Wow.

1 Titan = my 3x 480s on that 3DMark score

-PB

Yep, definitely time to replace these three GTX 480s.

[Zloyd]

Urban dont you think best bet is just 2 Titans ? Tri Sli doesnt seem to work most of the time and its always been that way.

[zir_blazer]

Someone compared this with Intel's EE processors, but its completely different.

With the EE CPUs, you can still buy a non EE version of the same architecture and overclock it yourself to the exact same speed. With the Titan, there is no lower priced part that can simply be overclocked to match the performance of this card.

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.

[cowie]

Yeah, I know, guys, I'm sorry. I'm just angry that I've missed every single GTX Titan pre-order. They're all sold out now! I still need three, while most of you are just happy with one.

Cheer up man

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.

Hm, having to wait that long, plus the changing price is starting to sway me toward picking up three GTX 670 2GB instead. Cheaper price, no wait time, and it's good enough for now.

Sorry, Titan; maybe if you had better availability.

I went down to the Porsche dealer but they were all out, so rather than wait a couple weeks I'll just buy a Ford Focus. Seems reasonable. :p

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

Sorry you probably have other rigs I was just going by your sig..

670 2gb for 6030x1200 in crysis 3, please make a video of that. Well not a video just take pictures since it won't be moving anyway.

Hm, I wonder what happens when we add a third card?

[UrbanSmooth]

@#$% it, I'll just wait for Titan. What the @#$% 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?



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.

[UrbanSmooth]

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?

[kromosto]

wait for the titan. i think you will not regret it.

[paulbagz]

Still on for a Q2 launch for 7XX?

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

Drivers could use some work in some titles.

Titan will just be faster than their single GPU 7xx offers.
Plus they need to get rid of some extra GK110 chips.

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 if 7xx series launch is near then i would choose to release titan with them.

[Mungri]

@Zir Blazer ... Pentium 4??? Eww no, back then Athlon 4400+ or opteron 185 were much better for gaming.

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.
Looking across various forums, some people are going crazy over these cards. Nvidia will surely make a pretty penny on some enthusiasts.
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.

[Mungri]

NVIDIA could also make more money by allowing a 690 and a 680 to work in tri SLI lol ... I can dream

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

:P

For most stuff the 2GB would be fine for you, but if you were ready to throw down for three Titans I'd get the 4GB models and not have to worry about your frame buffer on higher AA levels.

I get mad too sometimes.

More calm these days, just getting older. I have two of these already pre-ordered - I am also putting them on a 4.0Ghz 980x 2.0 PCI Express setup so we will see.

Anyway, I hope you see this:

Pre-Order right now from AMAZON.COM - http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-384-bi...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

You're welcome friend.



Hope you get the three you want!!
