New Titan X Arctic Storm?

[OAcesync]

So I was just browsing through my local retailer online store and I managed to find this which really surprised me because I've heard no news about it.

It didn't make a lot of sense because why would Zotac release this design later instead of before when the Titan X when relevant and King of Hill but now with the 980Ti there really isn't any point in buying a Titan X apart from bragging rights so why would Zotac make this?

Well people with a 1000 dollars burning their pocket this could be a great option

[Norman_the_Owl]

Why would zotac make this, you ask?

 

Extra Titan X cards and extra reference 980 ti coolers

or... they could buy two r9 furys

[Nugsy]

From reading the overview I understand that this thing has water cooling. I guess if you were gonna try and really push your card (like you would ever need to..) it might come in handy?

Bragging Rights !

I would go for two R9 Fury's or GTX 980 ti's if I had enough money

[BigDay]

if i had the money, i'd go with a titan x over a 980 ti

[spwath]

It has a waterblock built in sooo

[Aniallation]

dual card bragging rights > titan x bragging rights

[spartaman64]

if i had the money, i'd go with a titan x over a 980 ti

if i had the money i would get a 980 ti and spend the rest of it on something else

[OAcesync]

I get how great this card is but why didn't Zotac release it earlier then they would have people throwing their money at it.

More performance if you go fury crossfire or 980 ti SLI

EVGA already made ACX2.0 coolers for them... They just had to sell them separatly

[Prysin]

i have money, i bought a R9 295x2.... still better then TitanX

 

I have money, and ill sell my R9 295x2 and buy a dual Fury once its out

[twovaliant2]

As cool as this is... I think I'll wait for Pascal next year...

Pounds, British.

 

So it might cost more or less in America.

Just making a statement 

Not an affordable option with the way I want my builds

[OAcesync]

It would cost more GBP to $ = x1.6(roughly) but then again US always tends to be cheaper when converted to GBP and compared to GBP prices

[sms1202]

It was announced 3 months ago

But I guess 12 GB of VRAM might help driving 5K Monitors

[othertomperson]

This is old. They did make this when the Titan X was king of the hill and the 980 Ti hadn't been made. In fact this version of the card potentially makes Titan X the best card again.

 

Nvidia releases Titan from its Reference Only policy and Zotac is the only company that takes them up on it, it's sad. Would have been nice to see a Titan X Lightning or Gaming G1 or something.

[soaringchicken]

It looks fine af. I want.

most likely, the PCB is reference - that's the only thing that counts

Same here too! 2-way Titan X's. Also 12GB is going to last for a very long time. I'm also a video game developer major and with Titan GPUs in general with people using it for both gaming and productivity, it can get by for a while. Also with the games I'm going to be developing (AAA games mind you), they'll be on par with Crytek's Crysis trilogy, where their first release (Crysis) was so insanely beautiful, it rendered all the hardware at the time totally unfeasible for the game. For my games, it's a little more laid back so that the highest end hardware at that release is feasible enough to handle them at 1080p.

 

-Example-

First game VRAM usage (Max Graphics Settings, No AA): 8-10 GB

Best Card at those settings: GeForce GTX Titan X

 

What does this mean? It means to me a lot, especially that developers can really tap into that amount of VRAM to push the texture quality and models to unprecedented levels never before imagined. Crytek has done it before and they're willing to do it again. Players enjoyed something they never thought possible.

isn't the pcb still refernce?
