[QUOTE]GeForce GTX Titan is the hilarious name of NVIDIA’s new flagship card, it has been ripped from the heart of an IRL supercomputer (sort of), and £827 is its terrifying pricetag...
... it bears 2688 CUDA cores, 75% up from what’s in NVIDIA’s previous flagship uni-card the GTX 680, and a GK110 GPU (as opposed to the 680′s GK104). It has 6GB of memory. SIX GIGABYTES. Christ almighty. If you want teraflops, those are 4.5 single precision and 1.3 double precision. If you want a release date, it is February 25th.[/QUOTE]
But can it run Quake?
Expect benchmarks soon.

Plug it in, watch the world burn.
Still want one.
hot stuff
(quite literally)
but it looks awesome, want
And in less than 5 years these will be considered outdated junk.
I'm surprised it's only two PCI slots wide and 300 watts.
Holy fuck.....I would be lying if I said I didn't want one. Damn my limited resources.
pay £827 OR wait untill the next batch of GFX cards and get it less then £300
Still not expensive as a [url=http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NVIDIA-Tesla-K20-5-GB-Kepler-GPU-Computing-Accelerator-900-22081-2220-000-/300844767780?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item460bbeda24#ht_1723wt_1344]Tesla[/url] :v:
if i inserted this card into my computer, i think it would literally become superman
Weird how the moment I clicked on this thread I had a popup saying how I had an nVidia driver update.
This will be able to run Star Citizen comfortably I bet, and in 2-3 years it'll be (relatively) cheap as chips.
Unless the world ends.
Or the economy crashes.

The world ends when 10 of these are plugged in and the collective heat combines to form a new sun.
wow a thousand dollar GPU just to play console ports
Before people fucking lose their minds.
It's expensive because it's based on a GK110 T20X tesla card, which is for GPU computing in super computers. They just decided to redesign it for gaming AS WELL. It's not primarily a gaming GPU if you look at the architecture. It's like a company putting racing stripes on a truck and people complaining it's really expensive and not that much faster than a sports car or something.
The ACTUAL next Geforce line of GTX 780's will be primarily for gaming and will be a good solid step. The Geforce Titan is not really a successor to the 6xx series but a side step since Kepler had uninamimously terrible compute performance.

It's not going to run hot probably. It's Kepler, and it's like 250W TDP I think

and in 20 it'll be a running joke.
Just in time for crysis 3!
Before you cream yourself, this is a bad investment. You can get a 670 which will max out everything right now and you'll still have 500 pounds left (presumably for whenever the 670 gets outdated)

Avatar represents said scenario :v:
[QUOTE=meppers;39645585]wow a thousand dollar GPU just to play console ports[/QUOTE]
Nope.
except 'gaming enthusiasts' want the best they can afford, so I doubt they would agree with you about it being a bad investment
what a cool looking radiator
Also we don't actually know the retail price. Nvidia is simply stating that's the recommended price. Manu's can set it to whatever they want if I recall correctly.
Besides this is for people who got pissed off that the GK104 had no GPGPU performance.
Funny how they doesn't show any benchmarks compared to the 680 or the 690.
The Titan will be cooler than your current card ffs :v:
While it looks cool, I feel Moore's law poking at this. This does make a neat spaceship design though.
Unless there's a staggering difference between this and the current flagship cards then I don't know why you'd want to pay such a hefty amount of money unless you're one of [I]those[/I] people.
But... can it run Crysis 3?
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("Meme" - verynicelady))[/highlight]
Its for the 3 people in the world who do as much 3d scene rendering as they do gaming. And perhaps dabble in galaxy collision simulations.

If by gaming enthusiasts you mean people who aren't mentally deficient they'll be wise enough to buy a decent card that can max out most current games and save up for an upgrade later down the road, when better stuff comes out and the older stuff is way cheaper
At one point you cross a line where you start getting laughable FPS increases compared to the extra money you're spending, and anyone with two braincells to rub together or anyone who worked for the money to build their computer knows exactly where that line is

Nope, if you're a framerate whore like me. You need to max the game and still be playing at 120fps stable. Anything less is unacceptable. Still, I'm not dropping nearly 1000€ on this. my gtx 590 is still hurting my wallet from last year.
