Nvidia announce Pascal Powered GTX Titan X

Sounds like a beast but the one I waiting to here about is the 1080Ti

Maybe Nvidia learned from its mistake with the previous Titan and Titan X and an almost equally fast Ti-card this time and won't release a 1080Ti at all.

I mean this Pascal Titan X is obviously not a fully enabled chip and it is already black, so no point in releasing a Black Edition later either. :cool:

So maybe we will see a "Titan X Ti" this time around, who knows? :lol:
 
This could be NVidia's worst card for quite a while.

Look at the specs they are not good.

Low clocks

A small increase in cores over the 1080

Probably not a full fat chip

TDP around 300 watts

This could be a hot running card with performance barely better than a non reference 1080.

Yeah but that won't stop you from getting 3 or 4 of them ;)

We will see a 1080ti. Absolutely 100%. We will see it as soon as AMD release Vega.

This Titan has cores disabled so it's highly likely that The "Ti" version will be slightly better than this in specs and the full fat chip will be better than that, Maybe something like the Titan X Black.
 
I wouldn't expect anything with more cores. That's reserved for HPC. In addition they are so limited on stock that they don't have room for allowing consumers to buy them.
 
Damn, not sure to go for 1080 Strix or wait for 1080Ti Strix now? :p

You might as well wait for Volta at this rate and when that comes out wait for whatever comes out after that and when that comes out wait for the next thing.

Playing the waiting game is never a good idea, The 1080 Ti IF it does exist won't be out until the new year and by that time Nvidia will have something else planned for the following months and even after that AMD will have something.

It's highly unlikely we will see another Titan Black type card unless Vega is very good.

Quick explanation as to why, from my mate in Taiwan.

OK basically making "full fat" dies is incredibly tricky. It means that basically you need absolutely 100% of the manufacturing process to go perfectly. This is hard enough even on small dies, but on larger ones it's much harder and much more costly.

You are only seeing this new Titan X because Nvidia are making a Quadro or Tesla card that's basically identical (even down to the fact it has no DP) however this Quadro or Tesla (I can't remember which) is full fat. So what do you do with all of the failed cores? you basically make a new Titan X.

Therefore the 1080ti if it were a full fat card would cost more money to make than a Titan X. We all know how Nvidia like getting paid for hardly anything so I really can't see them going to all of that trouble just to make a card that's more expensive to make yet they would have to sell for £300 less.

We only saw the 780ti and Titan Black because AMD released their 290x which was faster than the original Titan and the 780. Nvidia were not happy about this so they decided to make the TI and Titan so that they could go back to charging stupid money for the Titan. Who is going to pay £700 for a Titan when they could get a 290x for around £450 that is faster?

So they made the Titan Black which was ever so slightly faster than the 290x (but still faster) and bingo bongo ! you can continue to charge £799 for it.

So yeah, all depends on Vega. If Vega is slower than the new Titan X we will see a 1080ti that's the same (though probably with less VRAM) or worse than the Titan X. They'll only stash the full fat in reserve in case AMD sneak up behind them and pull their jogging bottoms down.
