I hope Wesley Snipes is getting some royalties from this.
Hahah

This is a joke card. The original Titan was also a scam card, but at the time it was the only and first gaming GK110 card with no hint of the bait/switch to come with gtx 780. Once gtx 780 came the smart money was dumping Titans for aftermarket 780s.
This black card is a real joke now. We already have full GK110 in 780ti and aftermarket cards. So 780ti is faster in all cases, the additional VRAM is useless. Unless you are a small fringe who wants the DP and doesn't want the full pro feature set or pro drivers, otherwise this card is pointless. A true fanboy's card for gaming purposes.
At least now we are wise to nvidia's new slow-drip scheme. Ignore the initial small-die 20nm 'flagship', then the overpriced pro/gaming big die card and wait for the next iteration of the big die that will come a few months later. Of course it will all probably cost 50% more with the exponential cost increases of the new node passed on to us and the mid-range discreet GPU market being eroded by Intel's improving IGPs and superior process tech.
Hmmm...
The 780ti SC is faster in the base clock, and the 780ti SC with evga's fancypants ACX cooler is faster in base and same boost than the Titan Blacks.
So you are saying is they should have just never released this card with the extra cluster and higher clocks at the exact same price as the model it is replacing, with very little PR hype, because that is a joke/fraud?
Personally I find that the more options on the market, the better. Although this isn't even a new option this is just improving a previous option that was EOL.
Indeed. Between the performance and the NA market having no alternative to NV for high-end gaming cards due to R9 being insanely overpriced, NV is moving a ton of these cards.

Wonder if you can do an evga step up
Considering the Titans were $1300 a piece (though I got my second one on a epic deal)... I am a little aggravated they are charging only $1000 for a titan black.
and the Titan black's are $300 more than the 780ti. That's a pretty hefty extra charge for only 3GB of RAM extra (that I never used to begin with on my original titans) and the same performance as my SC'd evga 780ti's.
No sir, I will never do a "Titan" class card again, and that's coming from someone who had them. BECAUSE IT WAS A TREMENDOUS WASTE OF CASH.
I'm sorry but I don't see how $1000 for a GPU with 2x as much vram in a day where 3GB can be maxed out by games that have been out for years like skyrim is a "tremendous waste of cash" but $700 for the SAME gpu is a great deal.
Titan Fall uses 3GB+. Skyrim uses 3GB+. BF4 uses 3GB+
Nvidia just wants to force people to upgrade as fast as possible. It's pretty simple: skimp on vram and you've got guys with SLI 580s who have the shader power to push high detail in all games, but not the vram.

So they're lying about the vram because.... they feel like it?No matter how many times someone claims that Source engune game uses that much VRAM, it wont make it true.
Derail a different thread...
Yes but Titan Black does have enough vram to run any setting on any game. The 780ti doesn't. Whether those settings are carefully crafted lies in some grand conspiracy to make the 780ti look like a waste of money or just facts is a matter of opinion (apparently).I'd be happy to point out your lack of understanding of resources in that game in the thread that is meant specifically for it.
Excuse my ignorance, but does any car have full DP compute? This has 1/3, but I don't see much more performance coming out of a 1/2, but I don't see how they would fit a 1/1'card onto the mix either at the $10k level, with 1/3 of that going into quad sli costing $3k
Nobody is going to pay $700-800 for an aftermarket 780ti when you get double the vram from a Titan Black for an extra $200 or so.
All the hate from the 780ti crowd must just come from realizing they no longer own the fastest single-gpu card. Don't hate on the price, you 780ti guys got ripped of just as hard. Worse if you look at the $/GB.

No. No card does 1/1. At least as far as I know. 1/3 is full level DP for GK110. I've read that Hawaii is 1/2 when fully enabled. Typical AMD though, they haven't released Firepro Hawaii yet.
So what do the $12k have over titan black? Another 6GB of ECC ram and some 10bit color?
