Features - QOTW: Will you be buying a GeForce GTX TITAN?

[HEXUS]

NVIDIA's best consumer GPU is here, are you buying one?

[Smudger]

No. Too expensive. I don't game enough to justify it.

[Obscurity]

Want one, could justify one, couldn't afford one.

[AGTDenton]

Not unless I win the lottery. I'll stick with the GTX 680 for a few generations (fingers X).
Also as the 700M series drivers have appeared on nVidia's site I would guestimate the GT/GTX 700 series will be May/June...

[shaithis]

Not until they stop selling it at a ridiculous markup.

[snootyjim]

I'd be surprised if many do. Assuming you're the kind of person willing to shell out £800 on a graphics card, you'll already own a GTX 690, a 7990, or an equally spec'd equivalent multi-card solution.

They are unlikely to spend the depreciation and extra required in order to downgrade the quality of the graphics, even if it does mean cooler and quieter running.

That really leaves those who are so insane that they currently have dual 690s, and are looking to sell them and replace it with a superior triple GTX Titan rig. And perhaps those with money to burn who are terrified of micro-stutter.

Seems like a small market to me.

mmm nooo is to expensive xD

[Scribe]

I've just loaded up Crysis 3 on my 3-year old PC, running a slightly above stock GeForce 480GTX, all settings are on max, I'm playing in 3D and I can't spot any noticeable frame-drop, so no, until a game comes out that actually requires it, it's not even under consideration.

Mind you, I'm interested in running three monitors at a time, however, the fact only my primary monitor can be 3D and that Crysis 3 requires the other turned-off, again, not much point.

Actually, that's not entirely true. Because the TITAN is a single chip solution, it can be further SLI'd, whilst 2-chip solutions can't be. So in this respect it can't be beaten by any existing configuration.

[Chadders87]

Nope. My PSU wouldn't support it :*(

[azza1991]

Depends if i win the competition for one

The 690 and 7990 can be SLId/Crossfired once (ie 2 cards), for a quad-GPU setup. It's not well optimized afaik, seeing as a tiny percentage of people would have enough money for that kind of setup.

That's what I said?

[ajones]

The closest I'll come to owning one of these would be if I won the Hexus competition!

[Jingee]

I wish. I hope the GTX 780 offers more of a performance boost, for less cash.

[3dcandy]

running a 5450 so why would I want to downgrade?
