First PCB Shots of GeForce GTX TITAN-X Surface

..................................:shadedshu: no matter how much explaining you do .....people just don't get the Titian.........
Well when the site promotes it primarily as something with labels all around it people tend to think that's what it is. In this case Titan was originally branded and still branded many times on Nvidia as an "Extreme" gaming card and that is what a lot of people think it is. The other problem really comes from the fact of what it is, its a Cuda dev card similarly to how people used the GTX 580 in the past which just naturally came with many of the features associated though not as much VRAM (3gb on aftermarket models) but you could use them like that. What we get in exchange is a separation of the market, a higher price on the cards able to handle that, and a card marketed to two markets with a high price without the addition of certain features that should be there to qualify it as a workstation card. Its a hybrid video card in the end for a new category created by NVidia.

And will a 980 TI be released a few months after? :)
Doubtful there will ever by a GTX 980ti. Honestly Q3-Q4 is probably where we can expect the "Gaming Priced/Styled" GTX Titan X card (GTX 1080 or whatever its to be named) to be released but it will likely be on a new series of numbers to make its place more known in the roster.

Will see when when the card is issued how much nVidia is again greedy .However, since even at GTX 980 28nm model the medium processor showed 100% of the price excessive gluttony do not expect differences unless the AMD again did TITAN kiler in the R-300 series and deliver normal price 500 $ ! I hope that this will be as shown by the results of this tests is expected.in addition, we know that nVidia did not opened all cores and were forced do it. Nor does it brag, not guess. wait a little. Prefer to buy 4 x AMD NOT 2x nVidia at known prices .Will se ,will se..
Honestly it depends on what is released and how it performs because depending on how high it performs we may see it higher than $550 like what happened in the HD 7970 era. Hopefully not but its a possibility though it just comes down to how things get handled this go round.

Nope, not until AMD has a better option. GTX 780 Ti (and TITAN Black) was necessitated by R9 290 which pwned GTX 780 and R9 290X, which pwned GTX TITAN.
Yep, I guess we will have to wait until next month to see what comes to fruition.

I would bet they will and we will see a GM210 gaming GPU shortly after that. Competition is a good thing for consumers.
Yea it really helps everyone out in the end because we can get video cards now for much better prices and performance. Lately people have had so many great options for cards that the market is opened up for people to grab great value video cards!

Titan-X seems to be cramming a lot into that card, the amount of memory is really high on it making for better rendering in the realms of development. I think though its going to be interesting more than anything what price it comes out at...
 
First Titan Z..... Now Titan X..... Next will be Titan Y, then we can combine them into the Titan XYZ card with 100000 attack power and 75000 defense points!!!11!!1!!!:roll:
 
Sure. Hopefully with 4GB of VRAM. More is kinda useless...
Do you ever play modern games? :twitch:

Far Cry 4 with everything maxed out uses about 3.3GB - 3.6GB of VRAM @ 1080.... that failure of a game, CoD Ghosts, uses around 3.5GB when all in-game eye candy options are enabled (and it doesnt crash!),.. this is without any driver enhancements added.

Those two examples are just the tip of the ever-growing iceberg of games that can and WILL use more than 4GB frame buffers, given the chance.....

So, will 4GB be enough** for 1080 in a years time? I doubt it, if current trends continue.


However, this Titan naming scheme of recent that nVidia insist on using for all overly expensive cards (price/perf ratio) is getting a bit old..... where are these ultra-low power cards that the 750Ti showed were possible with new fab?

The sooner they roll out, the better.


** "enough" is subjective; enough to me being 'can it max this game out and not run outta VRAM and/or HP!?'
 
Is this not the Quadro M6000 or something that is supposed to launch on Jan 22nd along with the GTX 960?
 
Why the heck don't they just call this the 990? The Titan name has some bad mojo going on.

Because the X90 name is associated with Dual GPU cards I would suppose is the reason for that (Though I guess Titan-Z was the last Dual GPU care they made so it could change).

On top of that, names can sell a product better than people imagine it does and Titan is something that has a good ring to it when you say your machine has a GTX Titan inside.
 
Will stick to my Gigabyte 970, that will be so over priced..

I think they will save the announcement for GDC in March.

They could announce a consumer variant at GTC two weeks after GDC. Titan Z was announced at GTC if anyone still remembers that.

Of course it will, as a gaming card. As a development card, this is where it's at.

I wish people on a tech forum that centers around products like this would understand that the Titan is NOT meant to be a gaming card. It's marketed as one, which causes confusion, but plenty of people on this forum have repeated that this is a developer's card due to CUDA.

People will never learn.

To be fair, Nvidia would market Titan as decorative art to visiting aliens if there was money to be made doing it. If you have a product that can be marketed across numerous users and workloads, why not target each and every one with specific marketing campaigns? This is exactly what Nvidia does, and has done in graphics since they realized SGI raked in bucketloads of cash catering to a nascent workstation/prosumer market in the 1990's...and then promptly acquired the division (for next to nothing).

LMFAO mate!!!
 
Titan was at the limit at $999 imho. $1350 is going to stop even most flush ballers. (If true.)
