Should be a beast. It'll be way overpriced too...

titan x? more like titan ass

And will a 980 TI be released a few months after? :)

adulaaminAnd will a 980 TI be released a few months after? :)

Sure. Hopefully with 4GB of VRAM. More is kinda useless...

So much angst - you might consider a slight name revision...ZoneD emo

btarunrDon't hold off on your GTX 980 purchases just yet, because NVIDIA tends to overprice its "TITAN" branded graphics cards.

In other breaking news, the sky is still blue and the Colts can't beat the Patriots.

Prima.VeraSure. Hopefully with 4GB of VRAM. More is kinda useless...

Not likely with the 384-bit bus on this. Probably be a 6GB card IMO.

SlizzoNot likely with the 384-bit bus on this. Probably be a 6GB card IMO.

6GB or possibly 12GB (if they plan on the prosumer market segment). 4GB would mean an asymmetric memory configuration which wouldn't appear on a halo part - nor would Nvidia take a backwards step from the 6GB per GPU of previous Titan branded cards.

I say always buy the card/CPU mostly based on performance per dollar, that is the only way to punish capitalist companies for overpricing their products. And why do they price workstation cards so high, when they are consumer cards+workstation label?

The card seam to be using 12 mem chips on each side

..................................:shadedshu: no matter how much explaining you do .....people just don't get the Titian.........

XzibitThe card seam to be using 12 mem chips on each side

Well it would need to if it were a 12GB card.

The modules are labelled H5GQ4H24MFR-R2C. They are 4Gb IC's (512MB). 512 x 24 = 12288MB = 12GB

My bad I was looking at this SkHynix datasheet

H5GQ4H24MFR-R2C 128x32

That's the beauty of GPU enthusiasts and fanboys. Ridiculous to the end.

XzibitMy bad I was looking at this SkHynix datasheet

Yeah, they are 4Gb IC's. 128Mb x 32-bit I/O = 4096Mb = 4Gb = 512MB



Edit: Edited for simplicity

So, 4Gb Hynix chips and not 8Gb Samsung ones like bta guessed.
tsk tsk...

About the capacity - i do see titan carry 12GB, i do not see Ti SKU carry 12GB
What seperated TITAN from 780 TI was the double memory, and it really played for the TITAN in many cases. Most chances are that the consumer edition (Ti? 1000-series?) will have only 6GB of VRAM

Dj-ElectriCSo, 4Gb Hynix chips and not 8Gb Samsung ones like bta guessed.

The pictures are of a test/validation board. The reference models might differ somewhat. Also bear in mind this could be a Quadro M6000, which typically utilise slower vRAM settings with an emphasis on stability over speed.
I wouldn't write off the possibility of 8Gbps GDDR5 being used in desktop variants. Samsung are producing it for a reason, and if AMD are using HBM who else is a likely customer?

Sure. changing VRAM model is a matter of mare days for AIB's. Not a big deal.

well you can't blame it all to the people, wherever you look, on tech sites, even at nvidia's own site, it is hailed as a "gaming card"

Sempron Guywell you can't blame it all to the people, wherever you look, on tech sites, even at nvidia's own site, it is hailed as a "gaming card"

Nvidia also target CUDA devs with the same card, so I guess it depends on what your primary focus is as to where you might encounter the marketing - "wherever you look" might not necessarily be where other people look - although if you're polling a gaming-orientated site it won't come as a surprise where they see it. I gather plenty of people use a card for more than one purpose, even if its primary marketing focus is (unsurprisingly) the largest market - gaming.
The Titan-Z might not have found many homes...anywhere, but there is plenty of evidence of Titan/Titan Black being used in non-gaming workloads, especially those coded for CUDA.

Will see when when the card is issued how much nVidia is again greedy .However, since even at GTX 980 28nm model the medium processor showed 100% of the price excessive gluttony do not expect differences unless the AMD again did TITAN kiler in the R-300 series and deliver normal price 500 $ ! I hope that this will be as shown by the results of this tests is expected.in addition, we know that nVidia did not opened all cores and were forced do it. Nor does it brag, not guess. wait a little. Prefer to buy 4 x AMD NOT 2x nVidia at known prices .Will se ,will se..

adulaaminAnd will a 980 TI be released a few months after? :)

Nope, not until AMD has a better option. GTX 780 Ti (and TITAN Black) was necessitated by R9 290 which pwned GTX 780 and R9 290X, which pwned GTX TITAN.

I hope AMD brings out something that pwns the GTX 980/970 and the TITAN-X then. :toast:

I would bet they will and we will see a GM210 gaming GPU shortly after that. Competition is a good thing for consumers.

No wood screws this time around? :cheeky:

Well when the site promotes it primarily as something with labels all around it people tend to think that's what it is. In this case Titan was originally branded and still branded many times on Nvidia as an "Extreme" gaming card and that is what a lot of people think it is. The other problem really comes from the fact of what it is, its a Cuda dev card similarly to how people used the GTX 580 in the past which just naturally came with many of the features associated though not as much VRAM (3gb on aftermarket models) but you could use them like that. What we get in exchange is a separation of the market, a higher price on the cards able to handle that, and a card marketed to two markets with a high price without the addition of certain features that should be there to qualify it as a workstation card. Its a hybrid video card in the end for a new category created by NVidia.

adulaaminAnd will a 980 TI be released a few months after? :)

Doubtful there will ever by a GTX 980ti. Honestly Q3-Q4 is probably where we can expect the "Gaming Priced/Styled" GTX Titan X card (GTX 1080 or whatever its to be named) to be released but it will likely be on a new series of numbers to make its place more known in the roster.

Honestly it depends on what is released and how it performs because depending on how high it performs we may see it higher than $550 like what happened in the HD 7970 era. Hopefully not but its a possibility though it just comes down to how things get handled this go round.

btarunrNope, not until AMD has a better option. GTX 780 Ti (and TITAN Black) was necessitated by R9 290 which pwned GTX 780 and R9 290X, which pwned GTX TITAN.

Yep, I guess we will have to wait until next month to see what comes to fruition.

64KI would bet they will and we will see a GM210 gaming GPU shortly after that. Competition is a good thing for consumers.

Yea it really helps everyone out in the end because we can get video cards now for much better prices and performance. Lately people have had so many great options for cards that the market is opened up for people to grab great value video cards!

Titan-X seems to be cramming a lot into that card, the amount of memory is really high on it making for better rendering in the realms of development. I think though its going to be interesting more than anything what price it comes out at...
