GeForce Titan coming end of February

[scooterlibby]

That's awesome case. There is enough room for a full graphics card.

I know it could fit a 680, but figured the Titan would be a bit longer. Any word on that? It is a marvel what they did with the Tiki.

Coming from you Bella who championed how 3 470s crushed HD7970 in everything (or was it even HD7970 in CF?) for 6+ months and getting banned many times over this. This time a $900 price for a card that might be just 40-45% faster than HD7970GE and you barely said a word, didn't link ANY benchmarks of HD7970 CF/ GTX680 SLI against the Titan's leaked scores, etc. What happened? It's OK for NV products to fail at price/performance but for AMD's it's not?

It was 2 470s overclocked that could easily beat a overclocked 7970 in many titles, 3 was where I competed with 7970GHz CF.

I was never banned over my comments on 470s, only warned that talking about hardware in the hardware section upset the local fanboys.

It's CF vs single, if you were to say SLI and it wasn't bandwidth gimp with real overclocking potential I could see your point, but that isn't what you're saying at all.

I never heard a peep from you when you had your 7970 and AMD's drivers were stuttering through popular titles, which means either you couldn't see it or you didn't want to report it, either way it makes your opinion on actual experience kind of meaningless doesn't it?

Titan is a failure at price/performance, stop rehashing the same thing over and over like it's a benchmark you can link to. We get it, everyone here agrees it's not a good price/perf card, if you have nothing else to add why are you still here? 150 posts to tell us it's not a good price/performance card? I don't think you're needed anymore, your message is known :thumbsup:

I think they used the case to show that TITAN can be much faster than the GTX680 and yet fit in these kind of cases.

TITAN should be as long as the GTX580 - 10,5".

Why are people moaning about the price?

The market will decide what price they sell at, if it's really too expensive for the value then no one will buy them and the price will come down. Simple fact is that they will be bought because someone out there always wants the very best single card/GPU performance and is willing to pay for it.

I think most of the moaning is coming from people who love the high end gear but just can't afford one of these bad boys. The top end of the performance scale has NEVER EVER in any point in history EVER scaled well with price, when something is untouchable by the competition, even by a small margin, there is a heavy premium.

I can't afford one, but it doesn't make it one iota less impressive. The hidden value to this is to make AMD push harder to get their next performance products out and give this stagnating market a decent kick in the balls.

What Country did you get your Zotac 690 from? (I see your in the US)

Thought only EVGA and ASUS in US?

Friend who works for Zotac. Same friend who won't tell me anything (understandably) about Titan.

Nope, Zotac is here as well.

They're here, but they're not authorized/licensed/whatever to sell the 690 in the USA.

This slide about 80Hz refresh rate. I don't think it's related to "overclocking" a 60 Hz monitor to 80Hz to take advantage of 80 fps. This is referring to Adaptive VSync 2.0 now working at up to 80 fps, an increase from 60 fps on the current version. If you have a monitor with refresh rate of > 60 Hz and the Titan, you can enjoy 20 extra fps with the more improved version of A-Vsync. This is a great feature.

It will also allow you to "overclock" your display, running it at a faster sync rate than it officially supports to squeeze out some extra frames per second. As an example, a monitor rated for 60Hz refresh only could run at up to 80Hz, meaning twenty extra frames per second are being displayed.

I'd also like to add that I do love this thing is capable of 4500 GFLOPS

That's nearly 20x faster than the Xbox360 GPU. It brings a warm smile to my face to calculate that

 

[notty22]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA

Some people need to EAT HUMBLE PIE NOW!.

I think i called it 20% increase if your lucky looks like i was right!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAH

Excuse me for a 2nd while i laugh so hard for the next 10 minutes. ill be back soon. Make some room for pie.

Ever hear of the saying even a broken coocoo clock is right twice a day?

One thing that I'm waiting for clarification on, is why they chose 2-690's (2000 dollars) vs 3 Titans. Maybe the price will be lower than the one being moaned about.

I imagine Nvidia wanted to cast Titan in the best possible light (which manufacturer wouldn't) and since scaling gets worse the more cards you add it makes the Titan seem better in that graph. It probably wouldn't look so good with one Titan vs one 690. Just a guess.

The issue here is that why would you want some giant hot power hungry GPU for big money when you can CF 2 7950's and kick its ass.

 

[SolMiester]

No agenda. If you don't see the irony, that's OK.

There is no irony, when you are regurgitating one person quote as gospel...as if everyone said it.....

I still find it curious that ATF allows such blatant trolling of these forums on a new GPU release.....There are several people on here with no desire to do anything but flame the thread...

Why does it matter to you....and do you already know its a hot power hungry GPU, or are you just trolling?

 

[Fx1]

Yes its pretty much going to be hot and power hungry with 7bln transistors.

Gotta add Fx1 to your ignore. Biggest AMD troll on ATF. I mean this guy thinks that CF and SLI double your effective usable VRAM so that should tell you all you need to know about the value of his posts.

 

[boxleitnerb]

He wants to enjoy crossfire microstuttering, bad scaling, input lag etc.

 

[Lonbjerg]

He wants to enjoy crossfire microstuttering, bad scaling, input lag etc.

And lack of profiles for games

 

[f1sherman]

Say NV vs AMD was a real war, and you were a Red Soldier.

You'd want to shoot him before reaching the frontline ^_^

AMD has a hard enough time getting frame delay in check with a single card. No way I'd go with 2x7950's over a single Titan.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Yeah, because nobody will overclock TITAN...
Oh now i get it: nVidia users don't overclock, so that is the reason why we only compare stock nVidia cards to overclocked AMD cards :hmm:

But when the GTX590 launched, the Nvidia crowd told us all that no one in their right mind overclocks/overvolts that level of card!

 

[badb0y]

FPS wise the 690 might be faster but I have no doubt in my mind that the Titan will look better on screen.

Also not buying that this card will be 20% faster than a GTX 680.

Flagship cards are always hot and power hungry. Two 7950's may be even more hot and power hungry if the 250 watt TDP is correct.

Great idea, cheers and done!

 

[The Alias]

interms of building a gaming system I think I'd take two 7950s over titan atm the extra 6 games,radeon pro fixing micro stuttering to a degree, being $300 cheaper, an having lots of headroom make it seem like the more reasonable prospect tbh

 

[SirPauly]

For me, to expect GTX 580 Sli -- over-clocked, over-volted performance may of been too high of expectations considering the price-point. Temptation was there based on fully enabled cores!

One could over-clock the GTX 590 though!
