Nvidia's Titan RTX is now available to purchase

[grec]

I've been absent for forever! Too busy with finishing up and starting new biology research. So I missed this launch entirely.

I'm with you and also think this card occupies a strange and non-existent niche. If you're a gamer, go with a Ti (which to me still is a joke). A professional should opt for a Quadro (if too expensive, save up).

Game developers don't necessarily want work station cards or driver stacks, that's more useful for specific content creation tools in 3D modelling/animation/video editing and similar areas rather than working in-engine/SDK. In fact it's often more useful to have a game-focussed driver stack than a workstation focussed one in those cases to avoid weird discrepancies.

I just like to point and laugh, My uncle was a little annoyed that he spent £1300 per card, He got 2, And maybe at best got 7-9% more performance over the already over priced 2080 Ti, Made me giggle ^_^

I quite like RTX Titan SLI, as it does everything asked of it in a quiet way.

Is it worth the money for pure gaming, not a chance but I already knew that before buying the cards.

millionaires and enthusiast could buy this and do a SLI setup. I need to grind more before I can get this =(

Okay, fair enough!

I am in awe of your purchases my good man.

As of late I hear a fan continuously ramping up and down briefly and hope it's not the GPU (reminds me of a past GPU I've had although afterburner doesn't show anything) but rather a chassis/CPU fan, or else I'm effed and need to buy into first gen Turing - and I really don't want to.

To be fair, replacing a GPU fan is usually just 2 or 4 screws and a pop out replacement(A lot use relatively standard models (80-92mm fans with 3pin/4pin JST connectors) & companies often offer replacements for a small fee). If you can constantly hear fan ramps(Up & down) though chances are the idle temp of your rig is currently sat on the ramp portion of your fan curve so it never really settles, could try adjust the curves or just setting the fan to a stable high speed(Technically louder but our ears perceive/brain takes notice of ramps much more than constant frequencies).

If you can't find which one it is and your motherboard/GPU doesn't show/have tachometer displays in software then if it's bearings wearing down rather than curve issues you'll probably feel the vibration in the case around it, a piece of paper on some tweezers is my personal choice for ghetto tachometer readings though.

Yeah I'd rather replace a fan on it than send it in (it's Asus) or splurge on something new. I didn't think of that so thanks.

It's an infrequent, brief revving but I cannot find the culprit. I'll wait until something actually fails. All temps are fantastic. Afterburner shows nothing in the tachometer tab (it did with a past failing card).
