NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan preview
NVIDIA today announces the GeForce GTX Titan, read carefully ANNOUNCES. In this article we preview the GeForce GTX Titan technology. The GeForce GTX Titan is NVIDIA's fastest single GPU based graphics card they have ever built. It is based on the GK110 GPU with 7.1 Billion transistors and as such is nearly as fast as one GeForce GTX 690 with two GTX 680 GPUs. Later on Thursday we may uncover the performance and we'll do just that with three cards and three monitors. But for now, have a peek at this technology preview.
You can read Guru3D's eleven page preview right here.

It's definetly a good card, but as people have pointed out to me even at super high resolutions it's not even as good as i was expecting and i was not expecting much.
Who knows, maybe it will come into it's own with the next gen of games, but i kinda doubt it, and i'm still sold on the awesome value of the 2 x 7950 cards i was looking at earlier in the week.
CF scaling dependent it's faster than Titan, half the price of Titan and comes with 12 free games that i can either keep or give away.
3GB Vram is enough for 19x10 for a good while, and this card can move into the bedroom so the GF can play The Sims.
I'm a fan of Nvidia and how they conduct their business, but only if they can keep supporting PC game development like they have over the previous few years.
If AMD are putting their name to more PC games, giving expensive PC games away with cards, and bring out much cheaper cards, it really hard to not be tempted.

What makes it an "utter crap card" exactly?
For $100 more than the 690 you get similar performance, which will more than likely increase in the future considering their are benchmarks with it passing the 690, a lot more vram, unlocked voltage and unmatched double precision compute performance. Sure those things aren't useful to the average user, but this card isn't really for the average user. To me those features sure put Titan > 690. There's nothing really "utter crap" about the card.

QFT^^
Too many people are judging this as a mainstream card.
It's a luxury card aimed at enthusiasts and it is priced accordingly.
Nothing about it is 'utter crap' imho.
Sure, we'd all like it to be cheaper, just like I wish I could pick up a Zonda for $40,000

someone is mad
the thing is, 680 sli is way too slow for 8XAA for crysis 3 unless you run low settings

We can all say its a great card when the drivers mature, like we all did with the 7970, but until then, its an utter crap card. |

It does make me laugh that we have had 12 months of this is the real GTX680, and then when it comes out and it looks like a Tesla card adapted into a gaming card people fall back and bad mouth it.
Internet nonsense hyped this card up, and Nvidia sorted GK110 and released these gullible people would buy this card, people need to stop doing this crap unless they work for Nvidia.

Poor analogy. A Zonda won't depreciate anywhere near as fast and is built with premium parts from the ground up. It's a bad buy however you slice it, regardless of whether the buyer is wealthy or not.

Ok, a Mustang for $400.00
PS: The Titan is built from 'premium' parts but whatever, some people just love to argue.
My point was pretty obvious.

Isn't that what the internet is for?
Well, I will be diplomatic and agree with you that Titan certainly is not a piece of crap and I would happily trade in my 7970 for one, plus $150 worth of Lucky Charms.

Cheers,
I agree, it is expensive - but I think it is aimed squarely at enthusiasts who are happy to pay the premium.
Enthusiasts in any sphere are usually happy to pay the premium, no matter how ridiculous it may be

Nah not mad, just can't see why its not getting the same treatment.
7970, not much faster than the 580 upon release, was branded a massive fail, utter crap ect... ect...
Titan, not much faster than the 7970 GE upon release, and even worse, costing a whole lot more than it, not branded crap, a massive fail ect..., instead, its give Nvidia time for the drivers to mature, it will end up faster.
What am i missing?

lol well first off 7970 was like 10-15% faster than a 580 upon release.Titan is more than double that. Price isnt completely ridculous. Considering 680s release were 500 each, 690 was the same price as 2, just in one card. People said that it was outrageously priced as well. Well a good high OC on a titan, its as fast as a 690 with more vram for the same price, cant comment on prices where you are as they cost the same in the US. Thats why i got one, im doing water on it, and itll be faster than a 690. Just wait until some better drivers are out for it.

I think I remember something like 8% faster or maybe 12% faster then a 580 at launch

thats if it cant be flashed to higher, you need some cards out in the wild to be sure. I went from 130 to 150 and tbh I am not seeing much over 100% in gaming and benching, at 1306 the power target really goes up.
