Graphics nVidia Titan - release date and added links to pics

Its what happens when you finally win at Nyan cat.

 

So what exactly is the Titan, or the point of it and why isn't it called a 780 or something? We haven't had something distracting from the bog standard 580/590/680/690 nomenclature for a while, and the Ultras of the 8800 days kind of passed me by.

 

I'm guessing it is just code name Titan, and will more than likely be called GTX 780.

Link not working? Guess they had to take it down...


This one is working. Tri SLI Titans anyone? Clicky

 

Basically Nvdia are claiming upto twice the performance of a 690!

Ill believe when I see it

 

I like the tri sli vs sli randomness...

 

I can imagine those SLI figures being useful for T_G's next build

Seriously though, the real world power of these cards seems phenominal

 

What are AMD up to though? http://techreport.com/review/24368/fate-of-amd-sea-islands-obscured-in-the-fog

Will there be a 8970 to compete?

 

If rumors are true, then 1 of these will be more than enough for triple 1080P monitors or projectors in my case.

 

is that code for I'd buy two?

 

Haha, lets just see what prices and performance is really like.

 

I never thought you would say this

 

That's code for definitely two probably three

 

Release date from Nvidia Titan Facebook page has told me 21st February. I asked the question.

 

I can't believe how near this is now. Definitely going to get one on release - pending availability. Maybe 2 if they're not too obscenely priced

 

You know what think AMD has made a bold and good move as do we really need a 780 with the games currently out.

 

Kov, you mean nVidia right?!

 

I think what he's implying is that AMD are with holding putting out another card because the pc games market has trouble challenging the current generation of cards. This is a bold move. Where's as nvidia are just pumping out cards at the same old regular pace, which is not a bold move.

These are my interpretations of his post.

(Although this titan would have been the 680 had AMD put forward something comparable as the 7970, so you could say this release and price is a direct result of AMD not doing a good enough job.)
