GeForce Titan coming end of February

If some guy rapes your kid and kills your wife, tell me how civilized it is to give him 3 square meals a day until he dies peacefully in a jail cell paid for by your already high taxes 60 years later.

And as someone already said, it's the carbs. Lay off my fat bro, it's not the culprit.

No offense intended, but please start a thread in Off-Topic rather than VC&G.

As far as I can tell the programming of a game is now a pretty minor cost in the whole scheme of things. The artists are exploding in numbers to make the assets and the number of programmers isn't really changing. Using a well known engine is far more common today than it was 10 years ago. So improvements there are in full swing but not helping much, its the artwork that needs to get less expensive for visual quality to keep increasing. The closer we get to photorealism the worse its going to get.

Yes, I'd probably be better off getting a degree in Computer 3d Modelling than an MSCS I've seen a lot of postings for those sort of jobs, but for software engineering, there are so many sub specialties that job hunting is more daunting.

Somehow I'm getting the idea that Titan could be a GK110 dual-GPU card.

Would certainly fit the latest rumors:

New details of the GeForce Titan have been revealed by RedQuasar forums. The very first information is that the GeForce Titan is not a GeForce 700 series product as some sites earlier speculated that it could be the GTX 780, a part of the Kepler refresh. However according to the leaked info, that is to be deemed false. The new card would just be known as GeForce Titan. The information suggests that the actual GeForce 700 series cards won’t be out till June 2013 giving AMD an headstart with their Sea Islands HD 8000 lineup in Q2 2013.

However the most interesting thing about the leak is this next piece of information which suggests that the Titan would end up with the performance level surpassing the dual core GeForce GTX 690. We know this much that any GPU featuring the GK110 would indeed be faster than the GTX 680 but better performance than the GTX 690 (if true) is seriously mind-boggling. In another leak, PHK from Expreview has leaked details showing that GeForce Titan has a PCB similar to GTX 680 but with a beefed up memory area which can confirm 6 GB 384-bit on the card itself and tells that the card has been listed in Hong Kong with arrival slated at then end of February.

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-titan-gtx-780-performance-surpasses-gtx-690/

Some personal speculations:

GTX680=100%
GTX690=190%
GK110 Single=150% (theoretical card at 850MHz and ca. 250W TDP)
GK110 Single x1.6 (reduced clocks, maybe 650-700MHz) = 240%

GTX590 was GTX580 x1.6, too.

2x3GB=6GB...check
$999...check
Titan(ic) performance...check
Faster than GTX690...check

 

[DooKey]

Man, I hope it's a beast that beats the GTX690.

 

[Ferzerp]

That would be a similar PCB to a 690, not a 680. The thing that you have quoted directly contradicts your speculation.

 

[boxleitnerb]

Maybe a typo? Btw, the GTX690 PCB is 11" long, the 580 10.5" and the 680 10". Not that different.

 

[blackened23]

I think what fezerp is saying is that the author you linked would make mention of a dual GPU board. That would be pretty difficult to miss; certainly not something that would slip through the cracks for someone having a full view of the PCB.

The article alludes to someone having seen a prototype of the PCB. If it were similar to the 680 PCB, it would not be a dual GPU board.

 

[boxleitnerb]

Then there must be massive cherrypicking for the Titan to win against the 690. Only thing I can think of is where the 690 has too little VRAM. 6GB is put on Titan only for publicity purposes. Only with 3-way or 4-way SLI would you have enough power for settings that would require more than 3GB. (4K+MSAA).

Correct. If an individual had truly viewed the PCB (even a low quality image), it would be obvious if it were a dual GPU part, and the comparison to the 680 PCB would have been silly.

yeah, I'm done now.

As for talking about Titan, I'm getting at least two, so for me there isn't much more to be said than, can't wait til it arrives.

As with all computer equipment, I'd advise against making a purchasing decision based on rumor, marketing material, press releases, or really anything else that isn't legitimate hardware reviews or primary experience.

That said, if somehow these were very close to a 690 in performance, and were SLI'able, it might be hard to wait for the AMD response before making a decision (unless something special happened with the CFX stuttering issues in the interim, that would make it hard to justify not waiting to see)

So long as it is 15 or 20 % more powerful than my current GTX 670 SLI setup I will be buying it, not going on rumors, just the likelihood that they wouldn't release it if it wasnt better.

[Annisman*]

Right in time for a nice birthday present for myself.... Also, if I get a Titan (or two) don't be surprised to see another Annisman giveaway thread involving one or more pieces of my current hardware.

Can anyone guess what that hardware might be ? :whiste:

 

[HurleyBird]

Color me skeptical, but if this thing does outperform a GTX 690 I'm grabbing one the minute, nay, the second it's available for order.

Well, unless they've recently raised the pay for game modeling you'll never get rich doing it. No offense to modelers, but there are a lot more of them than there are qualified C programmers.

I've done some game modeling myself. Never enough to develop a workflow/libraries that is efficient enough to make money off of it, but enough to have gotten to know people who do do it professionally. For most, it's not lucrative.

Titan 3DMark11 Extreme preset scores?

A bit high, that would be monstrous.

3Dmark is useless, sorry to way.

And silly season both in CPU and GPU sections...*sigh*

For Kepler vs Kepler it is not, but fits gaming performance reasonably well (+/-5%).
Kepler vs Fermi or Kepler vs Tahiti is another story.

Exposure parameters from the graphics card than the GTX680 specifications almost turned double the performance is definitely worth the wait.
And today, friends broke the news, a running 3DMark 11 score of terrorist.

 

[boxleitnerb]

I think AT forums need a native Chinese speaker as translator

 

[parvadomus]

That score is totally fake, it may get at most around 5K..

NVIDIA next generation "GeForce Titan" (GeForce 700 series) news has created a hubbub in accordance with market positioning to, is expected to be released at the end of February. Subsequently may also spawned other models of the GeForce GTX 780, GeForce GTX 770, of course, does not rule out that they will bring to the Ti suffix.

　　Reliable sources, the next-generation flagship graphics card - GeForce GTX 780 (GeForce GTX 780Ti care), 2688 stream processors (really more), with 384-bit 5.2GHz 6GB GDDR5 memory (more than 7970GE to force a), but the core frequency is not high. Comprehensive performance is not expected to the GTX690 so high (can there be on a single core graphics spike generation dual-core graphics card?)

　　Exposure parameters from the graphics card than the GTX680 specifications almost turned double the performance is definitely worth the wait. And today, friends broke the news, a running 3DMark 11 score of terrorist.


A graphics card to run points, from the network

　　In the end this is what graphics card ran out, No informed that broke the news that this GTX TITAN graphics card ran out, but I still suspect.

　　According to my understanding, the the 3DMark 11 X mode run sub HD7970GE is 3063, GTX680 is 3247, GTX690 is 5973, Dylan Demon 13 5724 , If GTX TITAN been run out of 7107 points, this is even higher than the GTX690, very difficult believe .

　　In the end the GTX TITAN how Guards? Or wait until February announced it.

 

[blackened23]

The only weird thing is that the 3dmark11 extreme screenshot says "Geforce GTX" in the description. I'd think that Titan wouldn't have that as a description..

Not sure if it's legit, but a pretty monstrous score if it is.

 

[tviceman]

Only way it's real is if all 15 smx's are enabled and boosting to or above 900mhz.
