Nvidia unleashes the Titan

where is the "Titan is going to be faster than GTX 690" brigade?

Right here

If 2 Titans in SLI = 500W Power + All other stuff,Get ready for a 1000W PSU too.

2 titans in SLI=3.5X7970, that is 1000W for GPUs itself, titan is unbeatable for performance per watt, it sucks for its price.

its amazing to see that how people are buying 1 lakh rigs and considering about electricity bills....

and i think with coming of new nuclear plants the ele bill will go down........

So even a 1300W PSU wont suffice ? (I wonder...)

I was just pointing it out, nowhere I said Titan was better, but for those running a folding, or rendering rig, 24x7 @ 300w(against 7970CF) comes to a great amount at the end of the year, 0.3kw/hr*24*365=2628kw~15k per year.

Kyle’s thoughts: I want to comment and share opinion here on several fronts when it comes to GeForce GTX Titan. While you will find all kinds of rumors and statements made about the GK110 silicon, it was never meant to end up on a retail video card. What we are seeing in Titan is a reaction from NVIDIA to what it thought AMD was going to launch and NVIDIA did not want to be seen as having no answer. AMD has gotten a lot better in the last couple of years of holding its cards close to its vest and simply put NVIDIA read its competition wrong and felt as though it was going to be in a position that it had to have a new product; and it did not. So we have a Titan launch and AMD has nothing hardware-wise.

Titan is course a "halo product." Not a lot of folks go around throwing down $1000 on a video card, much less $3000 on 3-Way SLI. NVIDIA’s spin on Titan is that Titan was very much built to sell into the boutique system integrator market. GTX Titan is quite simply the world’s fastest and best performing single GPU gaming solution. Titan is tremendously quiet under load and will fit into systems that a GTX 690 will not. Titan’s elegant thermal solution will not exhaust heat into a chassis, like GTX 690. Titan’s new GPU Boost II system will allow system integrators to put together much more complex performance presets that are directly predicated on GPU temperatures and how fans ramp under load. This also allows system integrators to put this monster of a video card into some very small footprint systems that are just not doable with GTX 680 SLI and GTX 690. And while SLI has come a long ways in terms of working right, system integrators would rather have a single GPU solution when it comes to handling support with "non-DIYers" who buy these tremendously expensive boutique desktop computer gaming systems.

NVIDIA does not see Titan as part of its GTX 600 series product line. NVIDIA’s branding and message with GTX Titan are consistent. NVIDIA does realize that it is has a product that will only impact a niche of an already small niche when you look at the entire enthusiast video card market. The Titan is just too expensive to be considered by most as an actual option. On the other hand the Titan is "freakin’ awesome" and worthy of excitement. When we get down to looking at a product that likely should have never made it to market, NVIDIA has however given us what is likely one of the best looks at what we should expect from it going forward. Multi-gigabyte wide-bus frame buffers are looking to be the new norm and that is exciting. New NVIDAGPUs will likely inherit the much more granular sets of controls that we are seeing with Titan. And of course more shaders.

I don't get it, weren't hardocp always cheering for VFM? Why did they gave it gold then? Food for thought.

Where are getting that?

I was looking at the photoshop results from that page (tomshardware) and the odd results in the winzip test. It really bugs me. I do know that there is some sort of tie up between Nvidia and Adobe (read about it somewhere), but the Winzip test is also proof enough that something is amiss.
I doubt if a driver upgrade will seriously boost the Titan, but tbh I am pretty dissapointed at the compute scores. I expected this to be below 690 in gaming and top the compute charts.

They were the last to publish the review, didn't compare with a 7970CF, and a week earlier they gave a Galaxy 660 Silver award based on $30 mail in rebate. Go figure.

Let us wait for the optimized driver to show their effect.

Have doubt regarding the reviews... I saw benchmarks from "linustechtips" yesterday... They show that titan beats Aeries II in most of the tests, even at 1080p. An also it also shows that 660ti sli, beats both aeries and titan in most of the tests.
How can a sli of mid-range cards beat an Aeries II ?
