Nvidia Titan X

[Shahnewaz]

I expected this to be a specialized multi-purpose gaming GPU like their other DP unlocked Titans, especially considering the 12 GIGABYTES of VRAM!

Well; this is not so interesting. Yawn.....

except the TitanX is not double precision...  <_<

[Zulkkis]

First listings, 1300€.

 

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

Even the Germans have started it at 1149€.

[Revinval]

The tone of the video felt so weird. I felt like other than lukes part I learned nothing  and was basically being read the script that nvidia's marking department through linus' mouth.

[SweatyWhiteJedi]

I want to see how it compares to the other Titan's, is it better than the Titan Z? Since it is so expensive can you get better performance from 2 or 3 way sli of other GPU's for a lower price?

I just read anadtech's review of this card (at work, shouldn't' watch your video Linus ) and...good heavens. 83C under load? What? On one hand I have 0 use for a $1000 graphics card, on the other hand, I want to get this and water cool it for the pure purpose of seeing what it can do when you remove the thermal throttle limit.

[Mkfish]

Seriously for the price, it really should be much, much better. The price is retarded.

Yeah. Disappointing. Even more with that amount of vram....  . I'm just wondering will that 384 bit memory bus be enough to keep all that 12 gigs fed fast enough?

[Kampret]

It's impressive that the 290X can still hold up against a 980 at 4K.

[Tacitus]

Funky watercooled version by inno3d:

 

[Maslofski]

so when is it going to release? this might be an option

[VulsaviiK]

I want it for shits and giggles.

 

Buy it for 1080p

I thought double precision was the big selling point for the Titan as far as the people who should actually be buying it are concerned

Any reason ye didn't wait, and release later? The last time I remember a video going live at an odd time was

 a few hours after I expected it, after another embargo.

 

This one was kind of weird though, with everyone knowing about the card before the review embargo lifted.

Nvidia likes to place their embargoes at very odd times most of the time - they usually line them up with an official press conference, so while most people set their embargo for 4-6am PST (only 4-6 hours after our normal release time), Nvidia sets them in the middle of the day/evening (980 launch was at 7pm PST if I remember correctly) to line up with some other press event they're usually doing.

You can pretty much find out about any product before an embargo if you look hard enough, this is just more of a headline release than most so the info was much more public.

 

Always better for us to release early than late, then we don't get the "WAIR VUDEU?" Tweets for hours while people wait, especially when it would be 12 hours late like this one...

[Lepp]

Anyone else notice that CR wave at the end?

[Mao_Zedong]

Name one mitx case that doesn't have a 120mm fan mount, it worked just fine in my node 304 and jonsbro w1 , I do know it doesn't fit in the smallest mitx cases but neither does the titan x, and saying 3/4 way sli titan x wins over a single or double 295x2 isn't really strange, but the cost of 3 or 4 titan x cards alone is horrifying and hugely impractical and the scaling probably is just as shitty as every other 3 way or more setup. Having the best possible just because you can is imo just stupid.

The case I was especially thinking of was the silverstone raven rvzo1. I know it isn't that cost effective, but it is still good for specific overkill type builds.

Not about Titan X, but in the video, Linus mentioned about who's job it was when designing the refernce cooler. Here's a look at the process that Nvidia goes through in designing one.

What a beast

[azurezeed]

Great card but oh the price
well, everyone was expecting that

You can actually see the Titan X color scheme on one of the prototype coolers in that article. Green lights and everything.

Well now wait a minute...I clinked the pricing link and it kicks to me off to Amazon to look at the Titan Z which is 3K then if you look lower on the page you see a Ttian X for ~1800..what the hell is the difference?

[Kawaii Besu]

*obligatory "BLAH BLAH ONLY A 15-30% DIFFERENCE OVAH THE TITAN X DO NOT WASTE MONEH M8" statement*

 

But then again, it's not for us, bang for the buck PC enthusiasts out there, so I'd respect its price point and target to teh bleeding edge "best of the best" enthusiasts out there.

[Grubite]

The Titan X rather is dissapointing to me as I was hoping for a $720 "GTX 980Ti". Not a $1000 12GB VRAM Developer card. At least this card isn't as stupidly insane as the The GTX Titan Z from last year.

[Commander Llama]

Hmmm... TDP of Titan X is actually the same as GTX780Ti?

 

Wonder if I should wait for a better non-reference version to come out, sell the 780Ti, and grab a Titan X then... My Swift hungers for more frames to sync with perfection!

Titan Z was priced very differently for OEMs than it was for consumers. The reason why the Titan Z cost that much when bought as a standalone component was because then the OEMs could claim for a higher value due to having an expensive card in their system, while in reality paying much less for it.

The Titan Z is a dual GPU card using Kepler (Basically two 780 Ti GPU's mounted onto the same card). The Titan Z is the NVIDIA equivalent of the AMD R9 295x.

 

The Titan X is a new single GPU Maxwell card.
