    I dunno. To me it sounds more like a DC 10 landing but it could be the reverse thrust that's fooling me.

    This card alone already embarrasses the next gen of consoles a year away from release lol. Time to upgrade my 2 3Gb 580s to one of these bad boys. I game at 2560 x 1600 res.

    Performance aside, It looks fantastic.
  5. Time to upgrade my Nvidia GF110 GPU to GK110 GPU! ;)

    The real Fermi architecture

    GF110 GPU

    The real Kepler architecture

    GK110 GPU

    Every thing else is just cut down!
  6. Look mom, I can now run my game at 300fps instead of 80fps. The irony? By the time an owner of this card is seeing games that challenge it, we buy a better card than this for less money.

    If you have a display panel higher then 1080p with all the graphics features turned on, this card will meet its match. If your just a regualr 23 inch monitor 1080p user this card is not for you.

    I'm glad that people who are in the 1% of tax refund recipients are getting this card. I, on the other hand, am in the 99% of taxpayers who need to pay Uncle Sam. I hope your cards blow up in your PCs and melt your motherboards to the casing.

    I'm not jealous, really I'm not.

    That price... I don't know what they were thinking, to be honest.

    AMD really has a chance now to come strong in 1 month. We'll see.
  10. Pay on that 1000$ titan which costs same as gtx 690(1000$) still way underperforms...ares 7990 is 1300$-1500$ and 20% faster than 690 and 40-50% than titan....look at nvi outrageous pricing again and again and marketing hype as always
  11. Titan my ***....overpriced arse

    Two 660 Ti's will demolish your single 670.

    It's called "Titan" because the GPU is based off the 18,000 GPU's that were used in the recent Titan Super computer, the most powerful super computer in the world, and prob for awhile, unless IBM gets to quantum computing anytime soon.

    You got your figures all wrong. If you need to pay uncle Sam you make way more money then me. If uncle Sam pays you money at the end of the year it means you make < 35k a year. Which should be around 17% of americans.

    If it can play Crysis 3 maxed out at 2560x1600, I'm in for it. Still running a 480 and it seems to do ok until DX11 is flipped on.

    I've been using a GTX285 for a couple of months, that card was expensive has hell when it came out but my god does it still run most of todays games pretty damn fine! of course though, DX10 is its limitation but they still look pretty impressive.

    I would be up for shelling out money for this beast!

    With full double-precision compute performance, I think this is aimed more at people who want Tesla-like compute performance without spending in excess of $2,500.00 US. In my opinion, this is a card more appropriate for a low-cost CAD/CAE workstation. More and more CAD/CAE programs, such as SolidWorks and Maple, are integrating GPGPU support into their packages.

    As to why this card at this price point is coming out at all, I think nVidia is realizing that people are balking at paying the "big bucks" for Tesla's. Still, had this card been available when I was building my last machine, I would not have bought it. It is far too pricy, at this point, for me. Even though 680s were available, I bought a 580 instead due to the fact that the double-precision compute performance on the 680s is dismal at best in comparison the the 580 DP compute performance.

    We need a user called 'Captain Obvious' to like comments of this nature so when we get these ridiculous unrelated posts like the one quoted, it will say "Captain Obvious likes this".

    You're making an assumption about how much I make. My entire household income for 2012 is $61,000 and because I don't own a home (the primary reason to itemize deductions) I have to take the standard deduction for married filing jointly. I am paying on a student loan so I can claim the interest but I am out of school so I don't get any education deductions. I made too much money to qualify for the Earned Income Credit and after all deductions and exemptions I owe Uncle Sam $235.

    People have been awashed with class warfare for such a long time that they forget about the intricacies of taxation. It isn't just the 1% that are paying taxes.
