Our King of graphics strikes again! 
Your current Titans, which GPU vendor are they from? Or perhaps there aren't any third party Titans, they all made by Nvidia?
How do you approach overclocking?
| Teeqoz said: So an opportunity arose to me just now. I can buy a used PC with a Fractal Design R5 case, a 970, i5 3570k, W10, 223 GB SSD and a 1TB HDD for 4000 NOK now. For reference, a 1060 (non founders edition) at new MSRP is 2700 NOK. What I was thinking was, buy this computer now, and use this until the next generation of GPUs, and upgrade Mobo, CPU, RAM and GPU when that happens. Does that sound like a good idea? |
lol if you upgrade all that, that's like buying a new PC alltogether. Installing the muthaboard is by far the hardest and most time consuming part when building a nu comp.

The great thing about these cases is that you can impress your neighbors without even showing it to them!
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
| JEMC said: I'm honestly surprised by this new Titan, and not only for sharing its name with the former one. I simply don't get why is Nvidia launching this card now. They don't have competition in the high end market and can't supply enough GP104 chips to meet the demand for its 1070/1080 cards, and yet they launch this card now? And a card that's not even 50% more powerful than the 1080. I don't get it. |
Yes, a strange strategy. Apart from competing with itself it's a marketing opportunity wasted, that they could have used after AMD announces it's next big card. Even if it's not immediately after, it's always good PR to announce the new king.
Perhaps they want to make use of the very few perfect big chips that the 16nm process already can yield, instead of just making 1080s out of them.
But if the Titan X was 50% faster than a 1080, that would be extremely good and would even justify the $1200 price tag. Instead we're going to see 30% at best.

EVGA. And I, occasionally, do CPU Overclocking, but not much else. |
Damn. You know that feeling when you unbox a high-end GPU, I love it so much. Hundreds of thousands of PC guys probably love that feeling.
I can't even imagine how strong that feeling would be when unboxing two Titans.

Yes, and this also i've been looking for Carbide 100R. You're not the only one dislike these two cases, even many friends of mine hated all Corsair's hardware for many reasons. Funny, i was about to buy Corsair H90, a liquid CPU cooler...I bought NZXT Kraken X31 instead lol |
I like ugly or bland, but very rational and spacious cases too, but I'm more than happy with my cheap and rational (and really bland and ugly) mid-tower Enermax Pandora, If I had more space I'd have chosen an even more comfortable to work inside full-tower one.

Yeah I know.

So what is your plan? What GPU u got today?

None, whoch is why I'm talking about buying a PC... 
Slimebeast said:
You wanted this? But that looks so bland, even ugly. Looks even worse than the computers they have at my work. NZXT on the other hand makes the best looking cases. |
Careful there. Case looks are one of the most divisive themes I've seen, with people loving some designs that others loathe. I remember when Coolermaster launched the HAF series, I kind of liked them, but others hated them with passion.
And the same happens with fridge design cases.

Have you heard about Parvum Systems?
They make micro-ATX and mini-ITX cases (*Edit* now ATX too!), all from acrylic and with lots of colors to choose from. The only downside (besides price) is that you have to literally build the case as it comes dismantled.
This is their site: www.parvumsystems.com

But Titan X is build around a new chip, the GP102, not the GP104 that powers the 1080 and 1070. They are making these cards on purpose.
And they already had the 1080 as the top card, they don't needed another one. If anything else, they should have launched the 1060 one month earlier to make the 480 launch look worse.
Please excuse my bad English.
