So this thing looks freaking awesome. I can't wait to see benchmarks, but apparently it's going to be about 70%-80% better than a 680, but with an actually decent memory bus and 6gb of memory. I have no idea on the price, but it is rumored to be around $900, which is quite fair. Also looks like power consumption won't bee too bad, with a 6 pin and 8 pin power connectors.

Easily the best looking reference cooler I have ever seen, it just looks awesome.
And this absolutely not an overpowered and unneeded video card. If you game across 3 1080p monitors or more, this card will be a godsend.
I don't want to try and find any "official" sources for performance, but anywhere you look(reddit, OCN, Toms hardware, ext) will pretty much say the same thing.
nearly same power as double 7970s minus microstutter and double the VRAM? sign me up
cooler looks a little.... Skinny? it doesn't look that beefy for a card of that power, 690s are more beefed up then that for fin area
The cooler looks a bit longer for just the one GPU, as the 690 has it split in the middle. And that first point is what makes this card worth it and needed for high resolution gaming. You get massive performance on a smaller amount of power and it is running on a single GPU.
werent there already benchmarks out? beat a 690. Also wolley, microstutter is rare now.
ehh, extra VRAM though will most likely be useful though once next gen consoles launch, will let devs stretch their legs a bit considering most cards are pushing 2GB + now
but, may drop 7970s in price, depends on how much i have to fiddle with when i upgrade in a while

No I think that was found to be a hoax and completely unreasonable. And depends, people have varying reports of microstutter from everything I have seen, so a single gpu is still best. Plus you could SLI 2 titans and get minimal microstutter, or have to deal with the mess that is 3 or 4 way SLI with 680s and have pretty bad microstutter and huge power draw.
the thing is, i am using two amd 5 series cards in crossfire, and get no microstutter in any game, and i get 95% crossfire scaling (give or take), so that means if i get 100fps with one card i get 195fps with 2. I get true double fps and no microstuttering. I would assume, with people using 7 series cards now it would only get better.
Might look into it, I plan on getting an triple monitor set up for both multitasking and gaming, although im not sure if most games let you turn the fov above 90, CS:GO to my knowledge has a stupid cap at 70 or something. So I'm considering just gaming at 1920x1080 as I wont get much of an advantage regardless. Therefore I would have no need for this card. Then again it would be nice for video editing and 3d modeling being that CS6 still for some dumb reason doesn't support Open CL, either I get this or switch over to Vegas, I think I'll take the extra fps in games...
1. they are going way before AMD with the release of a flagship card R&D takes time but 8000 series isnt due till Q3 or Q4 that long enough to pull something off
2. if an early listing by amazon I think it was is to be trusted it would be $1500 I highly doubt it will id go for about $1000 though
3. No overvolting I get why they lock it but seriously they could have just limited it to stop idiots from frying a card
4. supposedly Nvidia are not allowing non reference PCBs
5. inconsistant its failed Tesla chips so they fail for various reasons
it has potential though and if it comes in at a low enough price at any point id consider going for one unless the 8000 series brings something better
It has overvolting. And there are no non reference 690s, and no one has an issue with that. And I'm sure they wont be just randomly failing, this is going to be a top notch product. All GPUs in consumer video cards are no where near up to par with what they put in Tesla/Quatro cards.
I don't see the issue. It is a good design that allows for a lot of static pressure over the cooling fins, so you can have more/denser fins to cool it. Also it means it can be put in more cases, as it exhausts all the hot air out the back. Plus I would say 50% of the people getting this card are going to watercool it.

The problem is they are overly loud for how they cool. There are better and quieter solutions that cost the same or are cheaper.
Nvidia have hardware blocked overvolting on all cards as of October last year I think? they have stated no intentions to remove this on any card so Titan should have no overvolting.
also I think you misunderstood: the Titan is based on failed tesla GPU's because Tesla is a compute product the heat and power regulations are very tight if its remotely outside those it fails and goes to Quadro (Im fairly sure there is a GK110 Quadro) or Titan so its going to be fairly inconsistant with power and heat,
and the 690 lets be honest the reference cooler is a not overly bad reference design its not like its a typical reference leafblower, also not 100% sure on this but dosent the EVGA signature (the one with the full cover waterblock) have a custom PCB?
They did not voltage lock the titan. Read it multiple times on the OCN threads going about it now. And no i understood you, but the regulations for the Tesla cards are WAY stricter than consumer GPUs. I can guarantee there will not be a problem with heating/power.

But microstutter is completely non-existent on a single card so...

Ok I think that was when reviewers could release their reviews, sorry. It will actually become available a bit later.

I have no idea why we are still using them.
They look nice, easy to design, they exhaust all the heat out the back, and really aren't GTX 480 status anymore.
