The specs haven't been revealed yet. Nvidia will announce the full specs on their NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference in two weeks.

lol it will spike my electricity bill in one hour.

The transistor count makes me believe that this is the full package. Don't want to get my hopes up yet. Depending on my budget this might just be my first SLI :)

Wastefull?

Who needs 12gigs atm? Most people dont even need 4gb atm, unless you play at 4k resolutions.

Id rather wait for whenever we get GPUs that are on 16nm FinFETs.

Thats just the proccess nodes.

What im more excited about is actually the new Memory technologies.

GDDR5 is yesterdays news. And with new and drastically better solutions around the corner, paying a small fortune for something soon to be dated....

I wouldnt do it.

We need new process node (we ve been 28nm too long) and we need hybrid memory cube technology.

Both things are really close to happending and when they do, there will a be a massive shift in power consumption (going down) and performance sky rocketing.

Its just a bad time to invest 1000$+ in a GPU, 6months from now you could see it being beat by a 200$ card.

Oh please. As if better memory will increase processing power. The 12gig VRAM in the Titan are irrelevant. It's all about the shaders and it's fair to assume that this card will be about 30-40% stronger than the 980, which is what people are really after.

And better cards in 6 months? I think the 390X will already have a hard time beating the Titan in power and that is pretty much the only card that will come out in the next 6 months. The next good cards are not coming before 2016 and it would be stupid to wait if you need a good rig now.

Your right, and 390x and 380x will be 28nm as well... which sucks.
However they will have new memory technology (rumors say).

Memory bandwidth does effect performance (even if it doesnt effect "processing power"), it can drastically effect performance esp at higher resolutions (something memory size, ei 12gigs of ram, wont do (unless bottlenecked by it, which even with 4gb now you arnt going to be for like 99% of all games out)).

the 12 gb of ram is just PR non sense, people see a big ram nr and go "ooooh it must be fast" because it has alot of ram. Which makes no sense, is all im saying.

And yes I could see the 390x being alot cheaper and out performing the new Titan card.
Which to me would make it a bad investment, because its likely to drop in price pretty fast.

I wouldnt recammend buying the 390x either though.

The card to get is the ones that come after 28nm.

once you go 16nm + Finfets, the effects from 28nm->16nm+FF, is massive.

THAT along with the new ram technologies will make all cards at 28nm look really dated. Even this new titan card.

As long as these new cards are not able to properly play 4k there is no bottlenecking in the memory department. Neither Titan or 390X will be able to play current games on 4k60 so at least for me it's not worth it to increase the resolution just yet. Which means I will not run into any bottlenecks, not even with Titan's 384Bit interface.

I'm eagerly awaiting benches. While it's quite possible that the 390X may be able to beat the Titan I'm thinking the Titan might edge it out by 5-10%. And if that's the case there is no other option than to take the Titan. Pascal won't be here anytime soon anyway, and why not take the most mature chip of its generation. Usually that's always a good pick as opposed to the very first generation of a new process. Gonna be even more fun to switch to the more matured version of next gen's technology :)

Or to sum it up, there really is no bad time to buy hardware. You buy it when you need it. If you wait for better technology you will wait forever. I waited now for 3 years to finally get rid of my 680.

Aren't you a exagerating a little bit?

Ever since the first rumors of the 390X started to appear, the supposed performance of that card was 30-40% more than that of the 980, which would put it on the same ballpark as the Titan X. And even if at the end of the day it ends up being 5-10% slower than the Nvidia card, it will likely be a lot more cheaper than it, making it a more sensible purchase.

But of course, if money is not a problem then the Titan X will be the way to go.

By the way, AMD brought their Fiji XT card to GDC and used it to power the Showdown demo on the Oculus Rift, but they didn't gave any tech details.

Of course I'm talking from the point of view of an enthusiast. In those price regions performance is the only thing that matters.

And I doubt the 390X will outperform the 980 by 30-40%. It's more likely it will do that in relation to the 290X.

It's fun to speculate but I do need some benches soon. There's still a chance that I will go with the 390X to help me over until Big Pascal arrives.

The leaked and later proven false benches (I'm not going to hide the fact that they were made up) went in that direction, with the 390X being that 30-40% faster than the 980, not the 290X. But since they were false, nobody knows how they will perform.

But I agree with you, until we have reliable benches all we have are speculations and guesses. We can just hope that the wait for real numbers isn't long.
