    Just what I need for my new 8K TV.
    The more you live, less you die. More you play, more you die. Isn't it great.

    So thats £1200 then, or worse if the pound was to continue falling.

    Re: Nvidia launches the Pascal GPU-based TITAN X

    i was thinking the GP102 GPU would be the Nvidia 1080 Ti & come out around October for Battlefield 1 as a show case and still no HBM2 ?! it would have been better for nvidia to delay this until there was more HBM2 and then this would have been a real killer of a card. Titan X FLOP XD

    Re: Nvidia launches the Pascal GPU-based TITAN X

    To say the claimed performance is disappointing is an understatement. Especially given the price...

    They claim up to 60% over the old Titan X (the naming is also daft!), and given the 1080 is already 37% over the old Titan X according to TPU, that makes the new Titan X just 16% faster than the 1080? Seriously??

    Even assuming perfect scaling and comparing the TFLOPS ratings you only get about 22% for shader-bound applications.

    I do wonder what is going on with the GP102 though - it has a smaller transistor count than the GP100 so it does look like it's actually a different die but the partitioning is weird, we don't have 6 full GPCs here as you'd expect so I wonder if they've rearranged the GPCs vs the smaller dies or if this isn't fully enabled - not all that unlikely given it's such a large die on a new node.

    I wonder where that leaves the 1080Ti though? There's not much performance room between the 1080 and the TX as it is. Maybe we'll see a 780Ti-esque release with a full die Ti some time down the line when yields improve?

    WRT yields and stuff though - I wonder how this works out financially? Having a separate huge die for such a low volume market is weird given how expensive 16nm development is!

    Edit: Not sure where I got 37% for OTX>1080, must have pressed a wrong button somewhere along the line, it should be ~32%. I'm getting more like 21% for 1080>NTX which is in-line with the quoted shader performance.

    The Titan range of cards isn't really comparable with gaming cards, they're a crossover card between gaming and professional cards, at least that's what i see when looking at them.

    What's the advantage over something like a 1080 for professional use? Are the drivers different or something?

    Like the old-TX the FP64 ratio is the same as the gaming cards unlike the original Titan cards so they don't have that going for them any more. The only difference I see from the Geforce line is branding.

    Re: Nvidia launches the Pascal GPU-based TITAN X

    TPU says around 33% faster at 4K but that would mean the new Titan X is barely 20% to 25% faster than a GTX1080.

    Your move AMD, Vega + HBM2 time.

    I've not looked at the details of this new Titan but going on past iterations they've had higher compute performance than gaming cards, I've always seen the Titan range as something you'd buy if you wanted a single card that could be used for both light (compared to Tesla) data crunching tasks and gaming.

    As I said though that difference seems to have disappeared since Maxwell though, so what does that leave?

    Re: Nvidia launches the Pascal GPU-based TITAN X

    Nvidia is moving fast with deploying new models. Do they know something about AMD that make them do this?
    Is something coming from AMD that pushes nvidia to rush with new cards?

    Who's to say there won't be a 1080 Ti around October for Battlefield 1 with HBM2? The Ti usually follows 3-6 months behind the same generation's Titan anyway.

    I've not researched it extensively but from a quick Google they are different, the 1080 is around 9 TFLOPS, this new Titan is around 11, I've not got the time ATM to look into if those numbers are half, single, or double TFLOPS numbers though, apologies if I've got it wrong.
