I am interested to see what the benchmarks show but if rumors are correct it will cost more than SLI 680 or a 690 and give you less performance. Sounds like it is worth the money if you have to have a single GPU.

 

I have to agree with previews that say NV designed the TItan to be used where SLI or dual chip cards can't. SFF, small MB's, or small cases come to mind.

Hope it makes the price on 680 drop a bit...but, probably not bloody likely :rolleyes:

I doubt the 680 price will move due to TItan. They are not competitors and target different markets so Nv wouldn't really benefit by lowering the price on the 680. Nv knows Titan is for extreme users that need a single GPU card and don't care about the $1000 price.

 

I can only see the 680 price change with the 780 series comes out.

Only a 20% gain over the 680 or is it the 690 not remembering now - so probably not worth a $1,000 plunge.

Ya' know, I've lost a card or two over time to one mishap or another.... even a pretty expensive card. (about $550)

 

But I think I might just cry if I brought a $900 card and anything out of warranty ever happened to it.... I think I might be sniffling a bit already, just imagining it.... :blush:

Can you guess what the price point might be in 8-12 mo?

On what the Titan,690, or 680?

 

If you are talking about the 680's pricing when the 780 is release then just look at the current 580 pricing. Nv has been pretty stable on how it and vendors price previous models.

 

I don't think you will ever see the Titan lower in price since it is a limited production hard core enthusiast card. Titan is aimed at people who will gladly spend $1000 on each card. Just look at the 690. The pricing hasn't changed from $1000 because it doesn't need to be changed. It is designed for hard core users and not the regular high end enthusiast.

OK, so you are saying there is a precedent and that's a good basis for an opinion. I wouldn't gladly spend $1000 on a card but I wouldn't mind the horsepower in a smaller form factor and might be willing to cough up the money since I usually buy and hold as it were. I justify it by its cost/year in service. Should have a decent service life and can be SLI'd, though I doubt I would do that anyway. Should know shortly how it performs. The 384-bit bandwidth and 6GB GDR5 does sound fabulous.

There are a few people on the Evga boards that will try to tri-SLI the cards and HardOCP hinted they did tests with multiple cards so I guess we will see tomorrow.

 

I think the card would be amazing for those who want near 680 SLI performance in a SFF without the added heat and needed space requirement. The primary reason I dumped by SFF LAN box was due to no future SLI and space / cooling limitations.

If it looks as good as this yes I will be holding out for this card. I am going to assemble a box w/ maybe IB-E w/ 12 cores and probably 32Gb of DDR3 quad channel memory. If I can get that to o'c to 4.2 or so Ghz I should be fine for FSX (based on what I'm on now it should be close to an 80% improvement). My hope is to assemble something that will run FSX/P3D well enough, though not top end by any stretch, but really be set up to handle something like XP 64-bit or something better that scales in the same direction the hardware has gone. I don't see a real future in FSX, whereas w/ the right new core engine I can see a bright future for flight simulation.

I agree on FSX.

 

IMO FSX is a lost cause when it comes to hoping new hardware will bring acceptable FPS. FSX suffers from poorly optimized code and no updates or support to correct it. Maybe P3D is the answer but I don't have much hope for it either.

 

Both are sad facts IMO, especially since I have used FS since the Apple II days.

It's as fast as two 680's if they were in SLi. A 690 is actually two under clocked 680 cores on one piece of silicon. Benches should be out today when the embargo is lifted.
