GIGABYTE Outs Its GeForce GTX Titan Graphics Card

btarunr · Feb 22, 2013, 02:41 AM

Gigabyte announced its GeForce GTX Titan graphics card. Much like every other GTX Titan announced till now, it sticks to NVIDIA reference design. To spice things up, Gigabyte is tossing in a few extras from its Aivia line of gaming peripherals, by including a gaming mousepad, and a pack of Aivia-themed playing cards that you can also play "memory" with. Based on the 28 nm GK110 silicon, the GeForce GTX Titan features 2,688 CUDA cores, 224 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 6 GB of memory. The card features NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 837/876/6008 MHz (core/GPU Boost/memory). It should be priced at $1000 before taxes, $1100~$1200 after it.

~$1200 after tax is not worth it.

Jorge · Feb 22, 2013, 05:43 AM

Of course it's not worth it but you would be surprised the number of people who will buy these none the less. These high priced toys are for bragging rights.

Melvis · Feb 22, 2013, 05:47 AM

I have that mouse pad, it cost like $15 lol

Bragging rights is me saying haha my $500 Video cards are beating your $1000 Titan

Awww look, it comes with a pack of playing cards to practice poker in the hopes of winning back the $1000 you just dumped on a card that'll be obsolete in no time. Gigabyte does care!

When you buy a $1000 card at Gigabyte, you get a bunch of more cards!

de.das.dude · Feb 22, 2013, 08:56 AM

that cooler looks good.

Prima.Vera · Feb 22, 2013, 10:21 AM

Guys, the GTX 690 is 900$!!. Are you kidding me?

speedpc · Feb 22, 2013, 11:28 AM

If we start paying these prices for video cards you will see EVERYTHING go up !!! I like to get the latest and greatest but not this time. This price is absolutely ridiculous (imo)

Aquinus · Feb 22, 2013, 11:31 AM

Not that I would buy it, but if I were I would be glad I live in a state where there is no sales tax, no state income tax, and even happier that there are liquor stores on the highway and anywhere you would want one because after spending this much on a GPU, you're going to be wishing you had some liquor to forget how much it costed.

As a community of enthusiast we need to say NO to these prices!!!!

LDNL · Feb 22, 2013, 01:59 PM

at least it might bring in moar fish (with lotsa $$$ to burn if they can afford this) to the pool, i could always use more idiots (grinding away for a new bike, pc and stuff

)

D1RTYD1Z619 · Feb 22, 2013, 02:48 PM

I agree! We too much TOLERATE these price politics, wtf are we doing?!

In my opinion, there is no advancement in the GPU field at all. The architecture is not advanced enough, it runs HOT, it makes small leaps in fps, consumes a lots of ENERGY and PLANETARY and HUMAN resources.

Culture and its values are not our friends.

i have nothing against cashing in on someone's excess money and/or idiocy. that's why i started playing poker.

if you don't have money to burn or are not an idiot, you won't pay them, that's all.

natr0n · Feb 24, 2013, 10:33 AM

I was gonna make a joke about the playing cards, but has been said already.

They should offer a mouse with that pad.

grunt_408 · Feb 24, 2013, 10:36 AM

I wouldn't buy it for that price even if it came with a free t-shirt... Especially since my last high end card only lasted a bit over 2 years. I purchased a high end with the thought of it being future proof for a few years not to have it die on me just outside it warranty period . Never again will I buy a high end card. Its mid range cards for me now.

I wouldn't even buy it unless it gave me enough stuff to offset the price to 750 USD and even then it will be a tough sell.
