Gainward GTX Titan

Dear Nvidia.

It's perfectly OK to rebadge a failed Tesla card and ask £1000 for it.

All our love,

Your faithful (and rather stupid) audience.
 
TTL is rightfully excited to test GeForce GTX Titan.

Is it a coincidence or is that avatar a still frame of Tom there?? lol
Evin funny! Funny cheeky grin time everybody :D:):rolleyes::lol::cool:
 
The Titan is indeed a tasty looking and performing card.

I built my current rig in Nov last year with the plan of upgrading the GPU to 1 or 2 780's or what ever the top performing next gen/architecture card was. I even planned for stupid prices of about 35% more the the MOST expensive single core cards out at the time. That worked out at about £650. So if it cost £650 ..1 card, if it cost £400 i would push to 2 cards. I knew Nvidia would be expensive so why not plan ahead.

But damn ..Nvidia really pulled a number on us, the cheapest u can find these cards is £830 ....'ridiculous' just doesnt quiet mean enough in this case lol.

Pitty really, the Titan wont get the sales it deserves imo, even those with LGA 2011 rigs probably wont stomach spending that much on a single core card..i know i wont.

I for one will now have to wait for the 780 which will likely be within the price range i originaly planed on..it just wont be the 'flagship' model i wanted :( .. owell such is life. I deffinatly need a upgrade this year so its gunna have to be Nvidia since AMD wont be releasing anyting till next year...i wanna play Crysis 3 but im holding off becouse i just know my 560ti will get a proper thrashing trying to play it otherwise :P

Anyway nice review :D

It will most certainly get the sales it deserves. Stupid price, stupid people will pay it. Wallet voting FTW.

I wouldn't mind but you can set up a SLI arrangement for around £500 and beat it easily.
 
really nice review as usual
the price tag is massive but the card just looks stunning and the performence is proper aswell
 
Great review!

What i would like to see as an addition to this long review is a power consumption benchmark. I mean a single core card with a TDP of 250Watts must be much lower than 2 Crossfire/SLI overclocked cards right? So performance wise we have the fastest single core card that costs a ton of money, hmmm I think I can live with an overclocked GTX670 that runs Crysis 3 @ 1080p maxed out @30-45 FPS.

Think back, TTL does and did, with the voltage, I mean the math is sound, the titan, he would have liked to see 1 more female input for the 8 pin connector that looks as if its missing but maybe nVidia welded, had intention to put one in but it would consume an amount of electricity that nobody would like anyway minus the price-tag, on the subject of 2 x TITANS I think Tom got that part right, even 1.
Times like this I miss 'Doom', no I'm happy enough with a rig build in process no titan for moi just the very cool GeForce GTX690, takes up little energy, not watercooling it as the body is just so cool, and chuck on the backplate from EVGA.
 
Becouse it still has untapped potential and to be blunt, it may be the most powerfull single GPU card available for gaming ..but its still not powerfull enough when u concider what it can manage in the most demanding games and specialy its price.
 
I want overclock it for benchmarks.

BTW Crysis 3 with everything max out and Motion Blure High killing this card ;)
So is it safe, or not ?
