NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal Available from Today

[P4-630]

Those figures in the chart don't say what the test set up is, but they look higher than the average with a 6700K.

Yeah I think so, I have a GTX 1070 and on this chart the score is much higher.

They don't mention it on their site either:

Wait what, wait what, wait what............................................. Oh man that price but that card... On the ordering page now....

Edit: Well...I can't get through to even attempt to order it... Been clicking "Buy Now" over and over again to no avail.

Edit 2: NVM, got it to work by going to the store directly and adding to the cart. Its now letting me checkout.

How is the Titan castrated? I thought this was the top end tier card?

 

[Athlon2K15]

This should be the full pascal or what the 1080Ti will be for half the price in 6 months.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

No reviews indeed. They're going by reputation alone... and that lack of competition. Bet that overpriced thing sells like hotcakes.


I don't like castrated GPUs either and try to avoid them wherever possible. This usually means buying the top card, but it's not affordable any more.

I remember how I felt buying the GTX 580 in its day. Awesome performance that blasted through everything for "just" £400 and nothing removed from the GPU. Felt great.

Indeed. That is exactly what I miss too.

All you get today "DLC" type cards. The only difference is that; now they release the cut versions first and the non-cut later and at higher prices points. When their CEO said the GTX1080 is as fast as 2x TITANS, that simpleton got confused with this GTX TITAN card. Watch and observe carefully, the benchmarks won't lie.

The problem that nVidia needs to realize is; (and other people on this shit hole) if you lie, you need more lies to cover for that lie.

means 3584 cores instead of 3840 (which the quadro has)

It is a top end card. The first Titan card was also not a fully enabled GPU. The yields of GP102 probably aren't high enough for the full chips to be used in the titan. NVidia is using those for the $5000 Quadro P6000.

A few months from now, once the yields improve, they'd release a fully enabled Titan X Black or something.

It doesn't exist until @W1zzard reviews it.

 

[GreiverBlade]

1310 Euros in my country.

I don't need more horsepower for some years now, happy with my GTX1070

so do i ...

I doubt Titans ever sold because of reviews. Reviews are there more for publicity, but I don't think anyone decides to spend a grand on a video card based on a graph on TPU/Anandtech/whatever.

Well, that's misguided. Think in perspective for a second.
A new design always has yield issues and those iron out over time. If Nvidia was to look at yields today, they would have taken the GP104 and called it GP100. Good yields, fully enabled, top tier chip, everyone happy. But that leaves no room to stretch legs when the process matures and you can build better/more complex chips. You'd have to build them again (and test, and everything). Instead, Nvidia is doing the opposite: a chip that they know will have yield issues gets some parts disabled and is sold as such. When yields get better, the new product is already there.
I'm pretty sure if Polaris scaled, AMD would have gone the same route. Because it's economically sound.

You say past generations, but you forget 8800 Ultra. Even 8800 GTX was expensive.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/2222

$964 in today's money, also don't forget the Voodoo 5 6000 which was about to launch for $600 ($840 in today's money) when 3DFX folded back in 2000.

The best has always had a large price attached, no matter the brand.

What? Are you kidding?

What do you think people go by then? The manufacturer's press release? Tech site reviews and TPU in particular, make great reviews that allow the buyer to make an informed choice when choosing a graphics card, especially when it's expensive.

I know a few who still think Titan Z is the best because it's the most expensive so I can see the logic.

Its still one of it not the best for fp64 use outside of the teslas.

Said people are gamers. With the way things are going it's making them even less relevant.

 

[Caring1]

I thought the original Titan was the last to retain the full fp64 count, since then they have been cut back to improve gaming on them.
I'm not certain but I think AMD cards are better at compute with fp64 hence their use in mining and folding.

 

[nickbaldwin86]

I have 2 added to the cart... just going to have to cancel the next two months of house payments. oh well video cards are more important than a roof.

 

[xkm1948]

And 99% of people who buy the top of line GPU still will not use it for one of its highly intended purpose---VR. Yep people would shell out $1000+ on a GPU but not so much for VR.

That Nvidia Titan X club is going to be lonely with a lot of trolls lurking on the periphery!

EDIT: But by God, benchmark it on our forums as soon as you have it

Kind of true. But even more, it's got hardware (or software) specific to neural learning. It's intended to be leveraged for AI work.

But I agree, a lot of people will buy it for the gaming aspect which is absolutely fine if you can afford it. I'm almost tempted but that price is too high for my principles.

I decided I am buying one, have it in the cart right now but I am looking at a G-Sync monitor but can't decide what I want to replace my current Freesync monitor with. I either will buy the same 1440p/144hz monitor or an Ultra-Wide with a similar refresh rate and resolution. I will probably for now (I designed my rig this way) just unplug the 3 R9-290X's from the rig, hook hte quick disconnects to bypass the GPU and test it on the stock cooler before later ordering water blocks. May not do the water blocks until I order a second one.

I think he just meant that people will buy this more because its the top and they expect that over a review. But I completely agree with you as reviews are what most of us judge our purchases on.

 

[thesmokingman]

Limit two per customer? What, I need four or no go!

 

[NicklasAPJ]

Think before you buy.

There will come one more Titan this serie, with 16GB HBM2. but Q1/Q 2017.

Titans never had full fp64 compute. AMD has been better in compute since first gen GCN.

 

[erocker]

People still buy these for gaming knowing well that a Ti variant will obviously be out soon?
