NVIDIA Teases Titan X Collector's Edition Graphics Card

[yotano211]

Meh.

Atm my options are these:
1) coffee lake 8400/8600k/8700k+1070 notebook and underclocking for mobile use (heavy,but with backpack+laptop bag fine+useful for gaming upstairs) and a cheap, small and light laptop for stuff like word.

2) kabylake 7700hq+1070 notebook and pc (still expensive, but gets me a thin and light-ish notebook and a separate pc, handy for streaming).

3) pc+cheap notebook (hkc nt14 springs to mind).

1 is a terrible option, but still makes more sense than a pc with a Titan X collector's edition! XD

Why dont you look at the Eurocom F5 laptop. Its a 15 inch with a desktop processor, weights 6.5lb and 2lb psu. Its a little beast of a laptop.

The added bling just proves once more that these are targeted at gamers with buckets of cash and not at professionals or software developers like they are portrayed. Those will still buy Tesla or even Vega which is massively more cost effective for those tasks.

This is AMD's fault.
Because they can't keep competing nVidia will do whatever comes to mind. This is the first time we have so much titans.
Not so long ago, a Titan GPU was pretty exclusive, meaning that you could be sure if you have a Titan, nothing better would come at least for that generation. Now it's just one more product. AMD need not only to bring fury back, but this one HAVE to come as exclusive.

Titan cards were always just a product for the consumer market despite Nvidia trying their best to market them as otherwise. All of them had some of their compute features castrated to a degree. And considering they upped the price from 1000$ to 1200$ I'd say it became even more exclusive.

Milking the sheeps edition ...

If it is a volta based card I will get one or two to replace my Ti's

Buyers wanna nvidia, buyers wanna pay moar, buyers will pay even moar.
280/380 290/390 were very competitive cards, market still went after green, AMD didn't have money for both Ryzen and proper GPU R&D.

Vega 56 is till pretty solid, though, just wait for AIBs.

AMD could have built a similar halo product using Vega. But Vega doesn't scale that much... And for some reason they haven't gone for that "segment" with past generations either.

What if I tell you, it will be a full fat Pascal with 16GB of sweet juicy

Spoiler

HBM2

?

I'd ask who in AMD got in NVIDIAs pants to create such a thing.

They already have the P100+HBM2 for professional market for a long time in production. Now they are transitioning to V100 Tensor cores, it would make perfect sense to recalibrate these HBM2 P100 as consumer grade "collector edition" card.

I sincerely hope nvidia is not as lazy as people predicted, just slamming some RGB on TitanXp and charge you an arm and leg for it

hahaaa.. collectors edition
so basically you just buy that and put it in the frame then expect the price up in 10 years from now

yea, you can milk anything with nipples.

Note that HBM doesn't seem to fly in consumer space either, with only advantage over GDDR 6 being, perhaps, package size and latency.
Latency is important in compute (I guess) and unsurprisingly that's where nVidia is using it.
So AMD couldn't afford a separate project and went with HBM aiming at both professional and consumer markets, mkay...

But then, in that Intel + AMD deal they are said to be using Polaris and HBM2, so maybe:
