[ Wccf Tech ] GTX TITAN-X To Be Priced at $1350 MSRP

[garagisti]

I see a lot of naysayers, but the hype hasn't started yet. Once one breaks the others may get jealous 😛

When people see those cards go out of stock, their mindsets change quickly and it becomes desired.

Reportedly an unreleased AMD card, which should sell for much, much less is very competitive. For lack of a better expression, let us say they trade blows, and on Chiphell AMD card was reported slightly better. Nevermind what may come, GM200 doesn't beat a 295x2 which is selling for $690. So imho, if one buys it for gaming, well there are possibly other options which may be better suited for that particular usage. For epeen... yes, you could brag about having one of the more expensive cards of the day. For CUDA, you may most certainly want it, if you are trying to mix CUDA development and gaming a bit.

This price doesn't justify the investment. It looks like I'll be sticking with my Titan a little bit longer.

Completely serious.

I grabbed 4 Titans the first time around and re-sold 3 of them for about $1000 (total) in profits. Funded my next CPU, GPU and MB purchase. 😀

The last one I sold to a AT member for cost, rather than return it, so they could get one. 🙂

And I thank you for that.

It's definitely a decent more than the first Titans, especially considering a lot of people want 2-3 of these for the fastest-setup. Buying 2 of these is almost as much as 3 titans before, and 3 are the same price as 4....

$600-700 is about the max per GPU that I want to spend. If we can get a GM200 or 390x at about that, then I will bite. Next card needs to be 6GB though...console ports are pushing VRAM to the max and I am not even sure if the 4GB I have now will last long, outside of 1080P.

so, how does a titan compare to a quadro?

so, how does a titan compare to a quadro?

The original Titan sits between the Q5200 and the Q6000 with 2688 processing units. The former has 2304 stream processors (like the 780) and 3GB VRAM while the latter has 2880 stream processors and 12GB/6GB/3GB VRAM for Q6000/Titan Black/780Ti respectively.

Q6000(12GB)>Titan Black(6GB)>780Ti(3GB)>Titan(6GB)>Q5200(3GB)>780(3GB).

Keep in mind the 780-series, Titans, and Quadros differ in some compute performance, frequencies (including turbo) and most importantly, the professional drivers in the Quadro-series.

Edit: The Titan II/Titan 'X' is rumored to have 3072 (Maxwell) processing units vs. the 980's 2048. This is 50% more than the 980, which cannot be apples-to-apples compared to Kepler's processing units. Just pointing this out...

if i recall correctly, the quadros and titan have double precision, similar to ecc ram for servers, while the 780/Ti/etc don't. So the titan is basically a budget work card that can double as a gaming card.

I'm with you there. I'm feeling the 2GB sting with my 680's in a few games now, even at 1200p. Particularly with an SLI setup which has enough GPU grunt to handle just about any setting but I'm being limited by a VRAM wall. I too am waiting for reasonably priced 6GB cards before I upgrade. Until then, i'll just have to reluctantly settle for SMAA/FXAA over MSAA in some games.

Titan and Titan Black don't have ECC memory.

Titan and Titan Black don't have ECC memory.

That isn't what he's saying.

 

[Johan_V]

Titan and Titan Black don't have ECC memory.

There are many applications for GPGPU that don't require ECC memory.

one more try and both' you guys can wear "i can read a post" in your signature.
