GeForce Titan coming end of February

[RussianSensation]

I hope a mod checks IP's from these brain surgeons.

Titans in SLI would be a great upgrade for you. You won't even have to upgrade the PSU. Very good upgrade on the performance/watt basis from an 860mhz GTX460. :thumbsup:

LMAO whut?

That's a reference to GTX400 series.

Shouldn't you be bitcoining?

So was this from AMD :

You can use the computer when the GPUs are 99% loaded. Too bad the Titan can't take advantage of this.

 

[SirPauly]

hehe!

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Yeah it's pretty tragic, I'll have to use my graphics card for other things, like playing video games

 

[SirPauly]

Personally wouldn't mind more Bitcoin prowess with GeForce -- would be welcomed!

EVGA Precision-X 4.0.0 Download
--NVIDIA GTX Titan-Compatible Software Overclocking Utility Now Available for Download

Version 4.0.0 Change Log:

Added NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 technology support for NVIDIA Titan graphics cards:
Added slider for temperature target adjustment
Added option for linked power target and temperature target adjustment
Added option for temperature target prioritizing

It's a dual gpu card, lol

K20X = 3.94 Tflops SP

vs.

HD7970GE = 4.30 Tflops SP
Titan = 4.71 Tflops SP

Kepler is rated at 5 Gflops / watt. Maxwell is projected at 15 Gflops / watt.

That means flagship Maxwell at 250W could reach 14 Tflops. Why do you think AMD isn't sweating over Titan? If Titan is the Titanic then Maxwell is a Meteor from outer space. Maxwell is projected to be the BIGGEST jump in compute performance in NV's history. Titan is a small battle, 20nm node is like preparing for Napoleonic Wars.

It gets old, I folded for a long time.

Not that I wouldn't mind having the option, but my usage model would be nothing like RS'es. He's mining while reading posts, I'm reading post while using the steam overlay in PoE.

Shaven bald Titan is good.



They are waiting to release the more optimistic numbers for Titan tomorrow.

Tx for the link parvadomus. Took a screenshot in case they take it down.

lol 4,376 inches. HUGE card, no wonder they will be AMD tahiti, no wonder it is the GF110, as it's about 110 meter long

 

[3DVagabond]

Maximum temp 95°C.

Imho,

Adds flexibility and some value that goes beyond gaming that may be compelling for some. Personally like flexibility, strengths and value from both companies but the market decides over-all what may be important or compelling to the masses.

The difficulty on bitcoin mining has gotten so that for most people GPU mining isn't even worth it anymore. FPGA mining has lowered the power consumption to hash ratio by quite a bit and with waves of ASICs right around the corner GPU mining is going to be dead.

On topic, still really want to see some real benchmarks for this card

I agree

It just won't happen, Nvidia has a pro market.

DP is really what you really want to be looking at for those cards russain.

Every battle matters, this gen AMD got beat by Intel's first attempt (Knights Corner), honestly the future is looking bleak all around for AMD.

That's totally fair. Everyone's usage patterns are different. Having said that, more options is nice. If GPUs could be used for mining indefinitely, more people would be buying them because it would subsidize/minimize their upgrade costs. That's a win-win for consumers and GPU makers. As Deltaechoe mentioned, at this point it's too late though. I am hoping someone leaks benchmarks for Titan out of Europe or Asia since they are ahead.

Here is an old nVidia PR that discusses Beyond Gaming -- agree with it:

Would like to see more of it!

Yeah, it's pretty silly for people not to want to take advantage of everything their hardware can do. Computers can do more than play games, after all.

If it makes you feel any better right now I'm probably going to go haswell + 7950...

But I'd be lying if there wasn't a part of me that wasn't thinking.. Well if I get Titan now, then sell a few parts like monitors and water cooling... I could get haswell too :awe:

There is just something about the monster GPU, with high performance and what appears to be a wealth of OC headroom laying dormant that really pulls on my heart strings.

Sucks working within a fixed budget! :$

Indeed, personally been a vocal advocate for dynamics, GPU processing and physics since nVidia and ATI's humble awareness beginnings!

A lot of the awareness for me was a live web-stream hosted by Dave Orton of ATI:

Here are some of the notes from that event:

I would love for you to get the Titan cuz I know you won't be a sissy and push her to 1307mhz, where she'll crash at 1310. I would like to see those benches against GTX470 Tri-SLI @ 900mhz :awe:

 

[wreckeysroll]

More benchies circulating ?

TSLI and the crysis 3 benchies circulating look grim with earlier hopes expecting more.

 

[SolMiester]

Agreed. Out of all the people us Canadians should be the least surprised that most consumers tend to be irrational human beings, whose purchasing decisions are driven mostly by emotional desires for conspicuous consumption/keeping up with your friends/neighbours rather than logical ones. And if everyone around you is doing it, it seems perfectly normal to just accept being ripped off as the status quo since you feel that you have no choice anyway.

That's working out really well for the CDN real estate market.

What 3DVagabond is saying if PC enthusiasts really want $500 mid-range cards and $900-1000 high-end ones, so it will be. Just next time, people should skip the double standard complaints about AMD's high prices too, while keeping mum on NV raising prices in return. It's only fair.

Do you want a signed declaration or something mate?.....time to change the record!...you been playing it since the thread started...

Like what exactly beyond bitcoining. I have used cuda assisted transcoding programs for years. Downside, is there are freeware programs that utilize the cpu and produce higher quality results. It's not so much, from processing selection, but the algorithms in the programs that do selection and compression. I will sacrifice a little speed for IQ in that regard. I'm on the look out for any new gpu processing that is introduced. But let's be honest, some still have issues with gpu accelerated Flash.
I'm a big fan of physX, and am glad that there is a uptake in the Indy or FTP games using physx .
Hawken is using APEX Turbulence- ..... A new feature.

Turbulence uses velocity fields to show particles-in-action, which will make things like health pickups, fires, and shields look even cooler in-game. The developers have teamed up with NVIDIA to launch a new trailer showing off what Turbulence is capable of in Hawken‘s world, and it can check it out below.

PhysX Particles and APEX Turbulence effects

edit: Also aware of Folding and other type scientific projects. Downside is, already have a high electric bill , from A/C and other variables.

960Mhz with 186 GB/s, I turned them out >.<

Curious how Titan will handle PhysX content!
