Not only that, the Titan V still gets GeForce drivers. Sure they got improved once with better Pro performance ( thanks Vega FE ); but they're still not getting Quadro drivers.

So unless the Titan RTX completely removes the gaming drivers, and optimisations; it'll still be a Hybrid card like all Titans have been.

 

 

nVidia must have a freaky fetish with Titans. Titans everywhere. Titan Titanny, Titanity X, Titty X (Pascal), Titty Xp, Clash of the Tits.

It's not really different from all those thousans GTX1060 anyway but still, how is nVidia thinking to make it clear for customers like it happened with GPP.

Well I could be wrong, but it appears that Steve could possibly have one in the background of his latest video.

I doubt Linus accidentally leaked it. IIRC in the last WAN show he talked about Nvidia's marketing campaign strategy. He mentioned how Nvidia makes excellent use of the advertising cycle of products by specifying that unboxing, benchmarks, etc. happen at various dates. I believe this is just part of that advertising strategy by allowing the product to be visible without specifically talking about it. Nvidia is artificially creating "hype" and stirring up the pot (so to speak) to get us all talking about it and thinking about the RTX Titan. This forum post any many like it show that Nvidias marketing strategy is working.

This is just a nice way from nVidia just to stir up some craze about crazy expensive RTX Titan that only 0.1 % of people will actually buy.

If 1 in a 1000 people buy that, nvidia will be very happy.

 

Not scientific by any means, but looking at Steam survey for 10-series cards about 3.7% (1 in 27) of respondents had 1080Ti vs other 10 series. Titan cards weren't listed but it is probably safe to say it is a much smaller number. Also these results are likely to be skewed heavily by gamers, so if you were to consider non-gaming users too, it is probably an even smaller proportion.

Nvidia has always said the Titans were pro cards, many of the tech youtubes have had and talked about having that very argument with Nvidia when trying to get samples of the cards. It's about as Pro as the Vega FE was, but only after Nvidia rolled in many of the Quadro driver optimizations in to the Titan drivers because of Vega FE. Before Vega FE they were not Pro cards.

 

Titan V is very much a pro card, this Titan RTX probably is too but the only Titan cards before these that we could really call Pro was the very first Titan card before Nvidia cut them down and made them a gaming card.

 

But this doesn't really change that people were in the past buying "pro cards" for gaming and at a later date Nvidia would release a slightly different cheaper config i.e. xx80 Ti. I'm willing to bet this Titan RTX has at least more 2 SMs enabled, if not 4, or like the Titan V will use TU100 making it nothing at all like the 2080 Ti.

 

So we're still left with the 2080 Ti not having a TU102 die with a Titan configuration and memory and a really large price increase for the top tier Ti buyers and no cheaper option like in the past.

 

TL;DR 2080 Ti is not a Titan replacement while lacking the use of a Titan TU102 configuration and driver optimizations.

Well, the reason why the Titan was a more of a pro card was because of its place in the market. GTX 690 and 7990 were faster in most games, and unless you were willing to shell out $2k for Titans in SLI, it really made no sense.

Leak?

It's a shameless PR stunt and I saw a lot of youtubers happy to go along with it

[soldier_ph]

Ohh, so that's how new products get leaked

Being expensive doesn't make something Pro. What makes something Pro is having Pro features or optimizations, Quadros and now Titans perform better in professional applications (by a lot in those specific cases) because the drivers have optimizations in them the Geforce ones do not.

I have zero interest in a NV titan card, after they slapped us in the face with the price of the Ti card.

 

NV need to deliver something seriously special or seriously reconsider their pricing if they want me to even consider the 20 series cards.

That's not the Titan RTX box. That box has been on the shelf there since they filled the shelf a few months ago. 

 

Just open up a random video from a few months ago and you will see the same box sitting there.

This is correct. Just to add, I believe it's the box for the Titan V that made its appearance on the GN channel around December of last year.

Ya, I realized that shortly after I commented and I had gotten onto my desktop. I had seen it on my phone first.

Linus accidentally showing a RTX Titan box on the WAN Show

Are you sure it was "accidentally"

I'd beg to differ on that one.

It's just to make more stir to make more money.

It was pretty obvious, but I'm not going to be the one to tell people Santa isn't real. Sometimes it's more fun to just play along.

"Sometimes" eh!

So you are an "enabler" and "co-dependent"

 

Fun is fun however you can get it!

Looks like @LinusTech accidentally grabbed the wrong box when doing the sponsor spot during this weeks WAN show. Other leaked pictures of the Titan RTX card have also shown up online today, with the guys from The Slow Mo Guys posting a picture of what appears to be a card with the dual fan Nvidia design, similar to the RTX cooler design, with Titan branding.

Manufacturers "accidentally" "leak" things all the time now - it's a standard procedure for generating fake hype over a product rather than just releasing it when it's actually ready. Really hoping the price of 1060/1070's drop soon with all these new RTX cards out though.

Pfft, this just confirms that Tech Jesus has access to time travel.

Cool beans but will earlier Titan models be cheaper now? Having an titan XP would be nice since it should be outclassed, right?

[jagdtigger]

Wanna bet Linus just trolling around with a custom made empty box?

Considering how many other people have the same box, unlikely.

It should be a single Titan for each architecture; but sadly they can't help themselves.

The damn Titan X, and Titan X > Xp are mental!

 

The entire 1060 line is a mess!

That's the Titan V box right there. Doesn't have the silver accents like the RTX box

Nah, they'll just discontinue them.

Unless the RTX Titan also features the same CUDA cores and FP 64 performance as the Titan V; they might sell both next to each other for a while. At the same price of course
