Did you know that I have a Z? 350 that is

Yeah, you mentioned it in a thread at some point. Pretty sweet rims if I should say so.

I don't think AMD needs to respond to Titan. They just need to maintain superior value in the price ranges that people actually buy cards.

 

[BababooeyHTJ]

They also have a card that actually overclocks, unlike titan which just throttles.

You realize that given the same performance level, nvidia tends to outsell AMD even when they're priced higher, right?

nvidia outsells AMD even in periods when they have inferior products at higher prices, same goes for AMD and Intel. The periods can last years.

It doesn't matter, brand name is the only that matters, not the product. That's why many of companies at the top spend more money on marketing than development and distribution combined.

12:16PM EDT - GK110 in general seems to be supply constrained right now. NVIDIA has previously told us they're selling every Tesla K20 and Titan card they can make

I guess $999 wasn't to high a price ^^

Just echoing what some of you said. There's the 7990 Malta supposedly coming. I think it may under cut the Titan price point and may even offer a little bit more performance in "one" card.

Only if they sort their CF drivers!

CF = no thanks. Even at $700 I would still buy a Titan over that.

If AMD do bring out the HD 8970 this year, what performance would you expect comparing it to the HD 7970? 20%+ increase in performance or possibly more? Would that be a realistic expectation?

So all 500 of them then. lol And no, a handful of people in forums posting the same topics over and over and bloating post counts to make them look popular doesn't suggest there is high demand...

It's realistic because you can overclock a 7970 to be 20% faster. It probably won't happen though because of power usage.

AMD already brings out a HD8970 card. Its just a renamed HD7970 for OEMs.

I cant imagine a real successor to the 7970 being called HD8xxx anymore.

I think there were 10,000 made b/4 the Chinese New Year (for world wide distribution). I expect Nvidia is building up inventory - hopefully more than 10k, but who knows?!

500?

Finally, let’s talk launch availability. By scheduling the launch of Titan during the Chinese New Year, NVIDIA has essentially guaranteed this is a delayed availability product. Widespread availability is expected on the 25th, though cards may start popping up a couple of days earlier. NVIDIA hasn’t gone into depth for launch quantities, but they did specifically shoot down the 10,000 card rumor; this won’t be a limited run product and we don’t have any reason at this time to believe this will be much different from the GTX 690’s launch (tight at first, but available and increasingly plentiful).

That proves nothing about the launch quantity. They started with a trickle that is sure, but they just say they are not artificially limiting the total AMOUNT. In English that means they will keep producing the card as a normal card, it doesn't mean they have more than 10,000 up front. As for proof, the only thing proven was that you didn't understand the comment and it doesn't disprove that the launch was extremely limited.

Cha-ching.

 

[notty22]

AMD can't build a dual-gpu card 15 months after launch, has nothing to compete against two Nvidia models gtx 690 / Titan, so now it's limited availability nonsense. LOL

Typical nv marketing. Said in non marketing speak, the number of cards was not exactly 10,000. It's probably 500 increasing to 501 over time as demand dictates.

The 5 titan threads/day that some posters worked day and night to keep alive were not indicative of demand. But the fact that they fizzled out and died is. However, the 7950 thread is still going strong.

They don't need a dual-gpu card because their flagship is 25% slower but less than half the price.

What are you talking about? I merely refuted the misinformation in a post above. Talk about a random left field post. (edit. maybe this wasn't directed at me)

I think there is little excuse or reason to suddenly whip out an official 7990 unless it brings something new to the table. However that is not what I was talking about. Competing with the titan is it's own issue, hopefully they can create something worthwhile but I am not holding my breath (until the next gen/spin).

 

[Dribble]

Titan is limited, but mostly because $1000 is not enough for it to be worth nvidia making more of them - why sell them for $1000 when you can use the chip in a telsa or quadro part and sell it for multiples of that price.

It basically exists to sell nvidia's lesser gpu's as that's a known marketing effect of having the top gpu. Hence it stays a halo product with limited supply.
