Did you even read? People that don't need more than 6 GB.

 

Just like the old "8GB of RAM is enough" (system RAM) wall, Dying Light and GTA V being capable of breaking it shows that for just about everyone the day will come where they need 16 or 32GB. For many people that day already passed.

 

So, if one game exists that will use more than 6GB of VRAM (2 if you count Dying Light at 4K, though just 1 slider can take it down to less than 6) it also demonstrates that games are coming that will eat up more than 6GB. Granted, all recent examples have been from open world games, which are always more resource intensive than a hallway shooter for example.

 

Still, with just a gramme of foresight, if one of your favourite franchises is open world and in development now (say, Elder Scrolls or Fallout for example) and you want to be gaming on 4K within 3 years, you do need to acquire more than 6GB of VRAM before that time, unless of course you mind dialing down shadows and/or textures.

 

That said, two 980 Ti in SLI will beat a Titan X with ease at 4K in DirectX12 when frame buffers are pooled.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I did read and also why would you buy a Titan X not to get the most out of it.

 

"People who bought a bunch of Titan X's and don't use more than 6GB's must be kicking themselves right now. This is so amazing!"

How does the Titan-Z perform so badly? Isn't it just two 780 Ti's slapped together?

$650 is such an attractive price if Nvidia really sells it that price and I might even upgrade to 980ti.

My 780 is still hanging in there strong, still getting 60% of the performance of the 980Ti.

What if I told you, that nvidia is selling mainstream cores for the price of a high-end card and high-end cards for absurd amount of money???

Everyone is selling silicon for high profit margins...

Another website confirming $649.99 price tag:

 

http://videocardz.com/55786/nvidia-launches-geforce-gtx-980-ti-for-649-usd

 

Along with more benchmarks:

 

 

And Direct X 12 support:

 

NVIDIA-GTX-980-TI-DX12-900x351.jpg

 

This makes my wallet so happy!  :D

 

That price is a lot more realistic and fair imho. Maybe NVidia knows something about Fiji we don't?

 

As for DX12, 980ti still isn't full compatible:

Much more reasonable price, indeed. Reminds me of when the "leak" came out that the Titan X was going to retail for $1500 and everyone lost their minds. Then a few weeks later $999 price tag sprung up.

 

I'm assuming they either know one of two things. Scenario one is Fiji XT doesn't perform better than a Titan X. Therefore they are releasing the 980 Ti with 256 less CUDA cores and 16 less TMUs because as you can see that barely effected Benchmarking results and non-reference versions will most likely be even faster than a Titan X. So they figure with a $650 base price for reference version and maybe $50-80 increase in price for some non-reference versions they cannot really go wrong with the market. Which means even if Fiji matches a Titan X it means the 980 Ti will still sell well since it basically matches a Titan X also. Another possibility is they know Fiji wasn't able to get 8GB of HBM onboard initially, and they will have that advantage in the market place (from a pure marketing standpoint at least). Scenario two is pretty simple, they know Fiji XT performs better than a Titan X so they are trying to get the 980 Ti out the door as fast as they can to saturate the market place.

 

Well if I'm correct, Maxwell V2 would most likely be talking about GM200 (since GM204 was Maxwell V1) which would include the 980 Ti and Titan X. So according to that chart, 8/12 are an outright Yes, while there is only one outright No. Two "emulated" and one hw dependent (which also applies to AMD). So not too bad. All I really care about for DX12 is for it to breathe new life into my 2600k by removing overhead even if that's only 10-20% increase in performance. If DX12 does that, then I'll be happy.  :)

Yeah, might need to get two. I've been running this GTX 580 for too long as a stop gap since my TX arrived dead 3 weeks ago.

I've been using the GTX 580 since it was released, it's done a good job. Looking forward to the upgrade.

I have just bought a 970, so I will sit and wipe away the tears as I watch the price fall by 20%

Watching this as you posted, I bet NV is going to be a bit upset with TTL :o (NDA hasn't lifted yet, right?)

 

Edit: Oops, I guess all the reviews came out within a few minutes of eachother :P

A lot of European reviews are going up and they say it will be 750 euros, I assume it will also be 750 dollars not 650.

So at the end NVIDIA should have added double precision to Titan X. Now it makes even less sense than Titan Z
