New Titan released

[Gman]

From what I'm reading, not many are blown away by this 1000$ card.  Many were predicting it would cost 1300$, but they also predicted it would be a lot better.  None of the dual precision seen in the last generation of the Titan.

AMD has their 390x in the pipeline.  It's about time AMD came out with a real challenger, or even a new king of the ring.  I'll be happy to buy their "new" card if it smokes the Titan in performance or price in any combination.  Things are going to get interesting again this year, I don't think it's going to be nVidia dominating everything as they have the last couple of years any longer.

So... according to that Anand review, the new GTX Titan X provides an average of 33% more performance than a GTX 980, yet costs some 82% more?

I'll stick with my GTX 980, thanks.

Yep Titan X is double price, 30% faster compared to a 980. I'm not jumping from joy.

Yep, pretty much how I understood it, and all the other tech mags are reporting the same thing.  I'll stick with my 980s as well right now, I had a buyer for both of them, anticipating getting this new card - the price was lower than I expected, but the performance was as well.  No go, 980 IMO is a better option for what games I'm using.

I'll be keeping my eye on the new AMD card that's coming shortly, it's supposedly trying to be a "Titan Killer".  If that's the case...well, it's been a while since I used an AMD GPU, and I'll be happy to check them out again if they perform like the rumors are "leaking" out.  I was very happy with my old 5770 when it was king of the hill, and the 7970 was the last card of theirs I had, at least 4 GPU upgrades since, all nVidia.

Should be an interesting year if AMD can pull its socks up and do what it's historically been capable of - competing, even winning.

Wait about 6 months

Look at the 780gtx when it came out, it was followed by the GTX titan then around end November they came out with the gtx780TI which had similar if not slightly less power than the GTX titan for about the same price as the release price of the gtx780 .This in answer tot the release of the AMD 280 series, which no one could get because of the bit miners.
Bets on seeing the same this year?

I will say for Nvidia they at least give you an idea of their roadmap. Pascal in 2016, though this might not show up in retail cards.

Still our present AH2 is still using DX9 so a lot of this would seem to be a bit of overkill even for cards a generation or 2 back.
Though how many games are out that use DX11 to the max?

It must put smaller developers such as HTC in a pickle trying to decide what to develop for.

I'm gonna wait on the 390X as well to see what AMD has there. Looking at the leaked specs the 390X is supposed to have a 4096-bit GPU\mem bus w/ HBM mem which is touted to boost performance substantially. Just recently I found w/ this 290X that I bought that the max mem clock speed on this card (listed as 1000MHz but is actual 1250MHz for 5000MHz effective) is actually holding it back. Raised the max mem ceiling to 1350MHz & left the GPU at stock clock ceiling setting & performance picked up some but I can't raise the ceiling any higher as it seems that AMD's Power Tune 2.0 won't raise the power level enough for the card to run stable (kept getting artifacts in idle mode) so 1350MHz is as high as I can go.

Also I have to say that the $1,000.00 price tag is a turnoff as I have sprung for this once when I bought the original Titan ref card due to it being a one-of-a-kind generational changing concept vid card & I can't see myself doing this again unless the card is a MAJOR upgrade performance wise so until the 390X debuts & the numbers are verified to prove either 1 I'm sitting still.
