Titan X

Badbonji · Mar 19, 2015

I have no idea why they called it a Titan if they restricted DP performance unlike the other cards in the series, but it also seems to restrict space for a possible 980TI (which was the main difference between 780TI and Titan Black AFAIK)

I don't know that everyone should be going goo goo and gaa gaa over 12GB VRAM. Looking at the tests, nothing suggests that it's helping, even at 4k.

Not at all, this is the last of the 28nm chips

My guess is Xmas 2015 we will see the 980Ti on 14nm's , and it will be a bad A$$

Until then the Titan X will be the top nVidia solution

How it stacks up the r9 390x will determine it's success.

For now all world records are going to be challenged.

I'm surprised we haven't seen vinbo come out with something yet...either be didn't be at any records(yet) or the evga monster isn't ready for primetime.

Last I recall though, there weren't many(any?) AIB Titans last go around...?

I would think he is working on it as we speak

Sure the power on these is suspect at best, Thinking we will see some guy's using add on power boards soon enough

So I am guessing the price of the X may be cut if the 390X is as fast as the leaked benchmarks say it is. Seems like a lot of money to invest in something that could be replaced on such a short timescale.

As well as the release of the 980ti, whenever that will be.

Witchdoctor · Mar 19, 2015

Hard to speak for the gaming community, however faster = world records, so the benching community will embrace this cards, at least the top guys who do not have to pay for them

Me, I am holding out to see where the 390x lands, if a flop I am waiting out the Ti, if formidable I will grab one

dun dun.... dun dun.... dun dun dun dun

EarthDog · Mar 19, 2015

Did you buy it or...........?

devlos · Mar 19, 2015

No, because I'm waiting on 390x AND when I checked my sock drawer there was only $998.99 dangit!

There are 30 or so subs already on the bot with the Titan x

Wow it says it needs 24gb system memory and 48gb recommended.

"INCLUDED IN BOX:

GeForce GTX TITAN X
Quick Start Guide
Registration Card

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

PCI-Express-compliant motherboard with one dual-widthx16 graphics slot
One 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector
Minimum 600 W or greater power supply
300 MB of available hard-drive space
24 GB system memory (48 GB or higher recommended)
Microsoft Windows 8 and 8.1, Windows 7 or Windows Vista"

EarthDog · Mar 20, 2015

Lol, it's a gpu... I wonder why it says that?

Witchdoctor · Mar 20, 2015

Look like they will be a lot of fun to play with

Soulcatcher668 · Mar 20, 2015

I don't recall ever seeing a system RAM requirement on a video card before.
24 Gigs min is huge....... and a little obscure of a number considering that triple channel is dead.

Janus67 · Mar 20, 2015

Maybe it is for research and page filing of the VRAM over? I mean it's a multiple of what the VRAM amount is? :shrug:

EarthDog · Mar 20, 2015

That would be my guess Janus... I would have to imagine that requirement isn't for gaming.

That's odd, it says 2GB minimum (4GB recommended) on their user manual for the card:

Maybe that was in response to their marketing snafu with the 970? They said we better require more than we need, just in case!

LegolasElf · Mar 20, 2015

So have any of you guys got your hands on one of these yet?
