6gb of memory jesus fucking christ
quick, someone post that old scan of the ad for the badass-mega gpu chip that's bigger than a dinner tray

That is one sexy card. It alone costs more than the high end computer I bought for myself last week so fuck that. :v:
So what? It is primarily a rendering card. Did the person who wrote this have NO idea what he was looking at?

[QUOTE=Tucan Sam;39645021]So what? It is primarily a rendering card. Did the person who wrote this have NO idea what he was looking at?[/QUOTE] GeForce is consumer-grade GPU's, the rendering cards are under the QuadroFX line. They're clearly marketing this towards gamers / nutcases.
[QUOTE=Tucan Sam;39645021]Did the person who wrote this have NO idea what he was looking at?[/QUOTE] judging by all the gaming hardware news I've seen as of late, I'm going to wager 'no'

Now for some rich bastard to quad-SLI it.
gotta run those console ports well
do u guys think i can run black ops 2 at 60 fps wit dis?
But can it run Cr... oh wait, even my old 260 could do that
found my (Collective) birthday + Christmas present for this year
It looks like an unfinished TV remote.
I'll probably save up for this beast... least it means I won't have to upgrade for the next couple of years

The GTX 690 is more powerful while also being cheaper than this. I'm not sure why someone would buy this if you actually consider the price it's going for. This uses a single GPU chip though (unlike the GTX690 which uses 2 on a single PCB) so that's fairly interesting.
[QUOTE=Clavus;39645035]The Tesla was a rendering card. The Geforce line is targeted at gaming.[/QUOTE] My research department uses Geforce cards in SLI for really heavy calculations. I'm learning to use CUDA myself for my own thesis. You can do some pretty cool shit with it and 3-card SLI is not uncommon (I bet they use it to warm their lunch too)

So [I]that's[/I] how the bushfires started. Oh come on guys, I'm just joking. I'm a fan of Geforce if that excuses me :v:

Also I like when new super awesome cards that I won't afford anytime soon get released, because that means I'm closer to being able to afford the older new super awesome cards that didn't got just released. Which are miles better than my very old super awesome card which I now use that I wouldn't be able to afford by the time it released, where I had a pretty mediocre card.
hmm, birthday in two days.. i'm still rolling 460s.... is it upgrade time now?

[QUOTE=Clavus;39645035]The Tesla was a rendering card. The Geforce line is targeted at gaming.[/QUOTE] It's basically a Tesla card though, it has almost the identical die to a kepler tesla. Yes, Nvidia is targeting this to gaming, but 50% of the cost is due to all the GPGPU performance they put into it.

This uses a single GPU chip though (unlike the GTX690 which uses 2 on a single PCB) so that's fairly interesting.[/QUOTE] The Titan has uses. Mainly it's based on a Kepler Tesla GK110, so it can easily do plenty of GPGPU work that the 690 can only dream of doing. Secondly, with a single GPU you get no scaling problems. Thirdly, it has 3 times the memory available for use. Which, is indeed useful for people on huge displays. QuadSLI 690's only nets you 2GB of VRAM which, if you're running triple 1080p, or triple 30's, hell, even a single 30 with loads of mods in some games, it peaks out and you start crawling. I run dual 3GB 580's and my modded skyrim sits at 2950MB of Vram used and I begin losing FPS quickly due to swapping. I'd love to have a 6GB vram card for that kind of thing. Lastly is heat if you want a powerful card under a certain TDP or something, the Titan is not beaten right now.
