Don't worry, the rumored Wii U XL and its 5 tflops got ya covered.

Sure. We could argue all day about how silly these prices are, or the price/performance ratio.
But why do people care so much - how others spend their money? I think it's really bizarre when people try to define what something is "worth" to someone else. If you don't think it's worth it, then don't buy it.
Lovely, I also heard Versus XIII is going to be launch title.
Hell.... What's after Maxwell. I think with 2 of these cards I'll be able to make it through Maxwell and Maxwell's refresh and wait for Einstein to hit... unless the Maxwell refresh doesn't hit until 2017.
Which is why in the end I feel that this is what I'll be doing more than likely. Just sell to fund upgrades to better cards without having to pay full price. We'll see how things will go. I don't see Maxwell hitting shelves until 2015 so I'd probably sell them instead of waiting forever if the flagship card then is considerably more powerful since GPU don't hold value for crap.

Haha, NAIVE! No need for XL, Iwata has his finger in the switch that'll activate Wii U's Custom Sauce™ all over the planet when that sweet moment of justice comes even the white U should easily pass 5 tflops... no sweat baby.
This thread always gets me, every bump makes me believe the Titan is already released XD
I actually think the current 680 cards will hold people over for another 3 years, honestly (but lol maybe I'm just naive).
Titan + the 700 series is if you are trying to get the absolute best performance + have the hardware to utilize it (like higher resolution monitors or texture mods). It all just comes down to the new games though. In the next 2 years, we'll have to see if these next gen games really push these cards. If it's a big enough gap, then I could see an absolute need to upgrade (if say, 680 or 690 actually starts yielding poor performance, or are being knocked down to high or medium level settings). So yeah, if you get two Titan's, pretty sure you will be set for a while. Then again, I guess we should never say anything is set in stone. You just never know.
There is never guarantees in this kind of hobby. That's why I hate the term "future proof".

I paid good money for this Dynex!
12:01 EST
Anywhere you can plot in that time and see what exactly that equates to times around the world?
I hate timezones, they confuse me
It's 11:01 CST, and 9:01 PST.
I don't know if mountain time still exists, or if people in such zone have computers. If you live somewhere else in the world, you should move to America, because I don't want to figure out what time that is elsewhere.

Big fan of Linus. Cat tips is fun.
It's 5 hours behind GMT, I believe.Need some of that GMT +1 / CET

So my reading's really bad because I am playing too much Fire Emblem and can only think in grids and "ting" sounds... did that article say anything about what day they're expecting these cards to be available? I skimmed it and didn't see anything super useful, but uh... ?
Think it's in front but thanks for the specific hours, did some research and it appears to be at exactly dinner time here.
All we can assume is that they will be available for purchase when the NDA lifts. If I hear otherwise, I will of course update the thread with that info.
No, it's definitely behind. Spent a lot of time in the Balkans, was always 8 hours ahead of home. (PST)
*edit* Forgot about daylight savings time. So right now it's 1 AM in Ljubljana, 7PM in NYC (EST).

Fuck, that 480 in the summer can provide warmth to a whole town. I loved my 480, but christ was that a hot mother of a card...especially when benching.

Apparently my brain just did a somersault. Yes, GMT +1 is ahead of America's timezone - I thought I read behind as in you were in front ... Again, fucking timezones.
Fucking Sethos....you are on a roll in this thread. lol
Can't tell you how hyped I am man, sitting here refreshing, checking 10 different hardware shops, refreshing them a few times an hour, giggling and then refreshing this thread.
Picking up a single Titan shouldn't be a problem if you are prepared, however 2 might be a problem. EVGA, as mentioned, will probably limit it to 1 per customer and I really don't trust all the smaller retailers throughout Europe to get any sort of stock. Danish shops never get dick.

You boys looking to target EVGA or ASUS?
Any preferences or thoughts on stuff like warranties?

Whichever one is available. In the States it won't really matter. I have heard the RMA process with ASUS in the UK takes awhile.
Whatever is available, I have no preferences.

so if you happen to see both on NewEgg's page and both are available...you just gonna go with the one closest to your mouse cursor?

Can it run Crysis with the highest setting smoothly?

I'd go with EVGA, because people I know have heard of ASUS, and I don't want something so mainstream, obvi.

is the $1,500 Newegg listing correct? if not how much would this card cost?
Hawk269

Yeah, I am starting to read more and more and am getting excited. For me it comes down to timing. I work at 6am PST on Monday and I don't have Internet access at work, so it will suck for me. My only hope is that it goes on sale at a different time on Monday, otherwise I will be screwed.

so are you guys buying blind or waiting for the benchmarks ?
I think I'll just sit this one out
For all intents and purposes you can't buy one until the benchmark are out anyway.

WTF??? What Newegg listing???? Link???

made a mistake.. several other retail sites had it listed
http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/15/nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-rumor/
the $1,500 listing was for a retail in Australia
and another in Europe
which comes out to $1,300 USD
well when you've read a review or two you're probably too late as well lol
at least when we're talking Newegg/EVGA ... Europe is probably different (i.e. googling around for obscure German webshops if the Sandy Bridge launch was anything to go by)
They'll be sold out by the time you glance at the 3DMark score.
No choice really to wait.so are you guys buying blind or waiting for the benchmarks ?

Some people have been throwing around a $799 figure. If it's $1000, I'm passing on it and grabbing a 7990 instead.

We are all hoping that it does. I think many of us "crazies" won't bite if it is over $1000.00. Although, nothing "official" has been said, rumors suggest this Single GPU Titan is only 10% slower that the Dual GPU 690 and the 690 sells for $999.99. So, one would think that it would be lower than $999.99. Since there is no competition for this card Nvidia can charge almost anything and they will probably sell. I, myself am hoping for $899.99 and I want two of them. My GF and future Fiancee is on a Cruise until the 22nd and I guess am going to go out on a limb and get two of them if I can and if the price is below 1k each. I will deal with the ramifications later!

really now? that's interesting (that you'd go for a 7990).

lol.
My GF/Financee (im proposing on the 23rd) has been very vocal about me getting what I want for my hobby. I dont drink, do drugs, do the "hanging out with the boys at bars/strip clubs". I work hard, I like my Home Theatre, my gaming systems and tweaking and upgrading my PC...that is what I do to relax. She loves that and has been telling me to not hold back as long as I don't cause a payment to go unpaid or not pay the housing. lol.
I can sell my 690 pretty easily and recoup close to the cost of one of the Titan's depending on cost.

Overall it's easier to just ...
Why not just build a custom case with cardboard and the finest duck tape?!
Yeah, I lucked out on all the hubbub over gun laws. Bought an AK for $400 about 5 years ago. Sold it last week for $2K. Sold two 670s for $600.
Granted, already blew a big chunk of that on Aquacomputer and WC goodies for my next project. If only I could finally settle on a case now.

Well, I just sent a few emails to the presidents of a few on-line shops to secure 2 Titans. When I was shut out on Evga.com on the GTX - 690, I was able to get 2 from an on-line store within a few days. I did have to wait a little because Evga sent the cards via ground shipping from California to the East Coast, but once they got it they overnighted the cards to me.
So if I strike out on Newegg/Evga or the timing is such that I cant, I might have a backup plan from at least 2 different places to still get them...that is if they get them! lol

Couldn't you just buy a 690 for $999?
and another in Europe
which comes out to $1,300 USD
You can't really do a direct conversion from our prices in Scandinavia and guess what the price is going to be, we always pay way more for stuff than Americans do.
Just as an example, the 670 DC2 4GB is $459 on newegg.com, here in Sweden it is about 3800kr ($600). So we pay about 30% more than Americans for the same thing.
If you wanted more performance than a 690 you would have to get another one and deal with the horrible quad-SLI. If you get 2 Titans it's just regular SLI that is much better.
