Titan Questions

So since the 295X2 questions thread got completely out of it's direction, which I don't really mind, but I think it's more appropriate to keep it to it's subject and have a thread dedicated to the graphics cards that it turned into.

So if you want to continue the discussion of the Titan X and Titan cards in general, then feel free to! :)

Otherwise, if it doesn't work out.... mods, delete this thread will ya? ^_^

Bumping up Titan Discussion.

Titan x people, YAY or NAY? and why?
what would be a good reason to go for this card when the 980ti is around the corner? to me it seems its the 12 gb vram. Have we all become so paranoid about vram that we're spending upwards of 1k on a card with an overkill vram to "futureproof" ourselves?

Good reason? You've got £4k you really don't know what to do with so you just buy 4 and waterblock them. There's no good reason to buy one in my opinion, 3 or 4 maybe. Moar vram does not equal more future proofing. But it does remove a limiting performance factor when you decide to run a crazy SLI setup and that's where the appeal comes from. I'm glad it's there, so YAY Titan X, but I will never get one.

If it's hot, long and takes 40 amps through it for breakfast then it's ok with me.

unless you got a mad bargain, having a single Titan X should be illegal. The same goes for any card that has alot of Vram to the point that it can't use it all ( this is excluding professional cards).

A single Titan is a bit of a noob badge imo.

+1

At this moment in time taking an average core to be roughly of equal performance to a 290X or 780Ti this would seem like a sensible amount of vram for an overkill scenario... assuming it's for something with great scaling and with each step you intend to run a higher resolution and more demanding settings.

1 core - 4GB
2 cores - 6GB
3 cores - 8GB
4 cores - 12GB

well on a positive note. Those who have been crazy enough to buy the Titan X on this forum have not limited their purchase to just 1. At least we see instant SLI setups.

but when has anyone ever bought a single titan series card. Its unheard of!

I agree on the noob badge if there are some out there.

Honestly guys, I don't see what the issue really is if you were going to get a single Titan X?, maybe it's cause I'm Swedish and don't get everything.
But I mean... what is this noob badge?... If someone wants to spend that kind of cash on ONE graphics card, then why are they a noob unless they go SLI?...

Because the price/performance is massively off the mark and the Titan X can only justify it's price by having a monumental amount of vram. Which is only useful if you run multiple cards, unless you want to run 8k with 16xAA at 5fps. Just get two 980's or a 295X2, they will tear it apart.

Especially now you can't use the bs 'compute card' arguement.

Well that's a fair point... it would however go really well with my ASUS Gryphon motherboard, due to being matt black :p
