WTF titan x

[Dabombinable]

Looking at its specs, you'd be better off buying a Telsla and a Quadro instead for workstation use, the Titan X just does not make any sense at all when there are cards with a far better price/performance ratio.

[randy hutajulu]

Damn! This card looks cool.

*preparing to rob a bank*

[Jerakl]

Gamers don't need more than a 970 so the Titan X is for people who want to push a 4k screen setup and use the 12gb vram

3*1080p on ultra. That's what I'm most likely getting one for. That, and I lost a bet.

[randy hutajulu]

Im just wondering. Again, just wondering. If i have two of this i'll make a post

"GTX Titan X SLI? I have them! So, what's your problem?!"

And all the hates are flying To my post

Hahahahahahaa...

[Critizin]

sometimes i throw money at things just because i can. no rhyme or reason.


as for the topic i think the titan series started off as a hybrid card one that could be used for workstations and gaming, but then nvidia realised that the people buying them were infact pretty much all using it for gaming so now they are marketing it for gaming.

Nobody actually needs a luxury car or an interior pool. But nobody bulges when people do that, yet if you would buy EACH YEAR the best of everything there is out there you would be hard pressed to have equivalent cost.

To be honest, I was expecting the Titan X to be a face-rapingly powerful card, the way everyone was toting it, but I'm totally disappointed with how it actually turned out.

The 290X was called the Titan Killer. Let's see it happen again with the 390X. I was expecting the Titan X to have the new memory design and a wider bus, but it doesn't have either of those!

I want to see what happens when the 390X flexes its muscles. with a 4096-bit (4096-BIT!!!) bus and 4096 cores, I don't even care if they have to water-cool it, as long as it absolutely tears the throat out of the Titan X. I'm feeling good about AMD's next generation of cards! >.<

A no-compromises GPU

*cough* no backplate *cough*

And when it doesnt?

*cough* no backplate *cough*

Well reference never does because how the cooler is designed. Just get a non reference.  They should offer a combo with a liquid cooling block tho. 

[-CLASSIFIED-]

*cough* no backplate *cough*

ikr ! Like your paying OVER A THOUSAND DOLARS. I'd expect at least a 20 dollar backplate for it like cmon Nvidia -brownie points there

[GoodN1ght]

Idk why everybody would leak that it murders the Titan X, I'm sure if it didnt AMD would have calmed people down. 

[Toddskins]

I'm sorry, do you guys complain that a Zo6 is stupidly expensive? The Stingray is pretty fast, good enough for almost everyone. The Zo6 adds marginal improvements for what it costs, yet it still commands a whopping price increase. 

 

So tell me, do you complain that a car like that is for "people with more money than brains?" This card is no different. Its a very, very powerful gaming card. Its priced at a premium because Nvidia doesn't need to beg for scraps from the market, they can price as they please. 

 

Is that such a problem? 

 

You've been touting that analogy a lot, I have noticed, and when I read the following on another site, had to copy & paste it here.  'Seems like a legitimate response to your thinking:

In your case, you "own a Ferrari." When someone buys a Ferrari (or any car, house, etc.), it is assumed that they are in for a more permanent investment. New graphics cards, by nature, are released every year-year and a half, causing new graphics cards to become outdated and obsolete within 3-5 years after being released. When someone gets a Ferrari, it's assumed that the car will retain most, if not all of its value after being purchased. Whereas graphics cards are concerned, they lose value relatively quickly.

Well, then that's two generations of disappointing architectures from both sides, isn't it?

 

given how the Hawaii cards have been stacking up against Maxwell so far, I'd say they have as good a shot at it with the Pirate Island cards as they've ever had. 

You sound so sure that they won't... :huh:

After boats cars are probably the 2nd worst invesment possible. Yes even luxury cars, outside from the very top tier their prices will all drop dramatically or if they ''gain'' in value it'll be due to inflation adjustments. 

[RazerZ]

Modern cars in mass production will depreciate in value quickly, no matter the brand. 

 

But I can see where they were going with that analogy.

Are you kidding me? I don't see 970 pushing 144fps on max settings @1080p, 60fps game is choppy, that should not be a standard, standard should be 100fps+

[ttam]

60 is choppy? plz stahp

[FloRolf]

Good luck with that.

Pretty sure they will be within 10% again though.

[creativename]

60 is choppy? plz stahp

60 is very choppy, not as choppy as 30 or 24, but 60fps gameplay is not smooth. 

[ShadowCaptain]

Has anyone seen any benchmarks for 3ds max or maya etc? 

 

Honestly it will basically perform a little faster than a 980 for those tasks, I remember the old Titan wasn't really any faster than its competition in those two applications (check the old benchmarks) and this card does not have the double precision the old titan had

[Blake]

Surprised at the lack of "house fires lol" comments. Considering the same exact thing was said about the 290x, and basically every reviewer has confirmed that it is a very hot card (when you consider the reference cooler on the titian x is objectively better then ref 290x).

 

I am calling it, most people on this forum over look the flaws on every 2nd product as 'its my team'.

[Najuno]

This card is, and so will the R9 390X be, a card for enthusiasts. It performs great in 4K and is made for being a 4K card. If you can't afford it... get over it or keep raving...

[Midnight]

1/32 the single precision performance what use is this card for professionals 

 

Nvidia didn't intend to target this for professional, unlike the original Titan.

 

Regardless, you needed a Quadro or a Tesla to do real professional work anyway.

then why the titan branding
