The diatribe and jeering directed at the new Titan X reeks of jealousy. It's simple really: have the dough and want the performance? Go for it. Dont have the dough? you still have the 1080 and 1070. Nobody's pointing a gun at your head to get one.

Sure, the 1080ti may (or may not, depending on who you believe/read into) arrive 3-6 months later at a cheaper price, but that'll land between USD700-1200, most probably occupying last-gen's Titan X pricetag of USD999, with disabled SMs, lower bit memory bus, etc, but when OCed may (or may not) match this new Titan X. But bear in mind, all Nvidia's x80Ti models are in direct response to AMD's threat at the high end segment: 780ti was NV's answer to 290X, 980Ti to FuryX. What is AMD's answer to the high end segment? Vega? When is that coming out again?

Leave the mocking and jeering out of the door. The market audience for this card know that the Titan segment has never ever been about price per performance, you had this 3 times already, aren't you tired of the same spewed diatribe already? If you can wait, yes an x80Ti model is always cheaper and cost effective at the cost of degraded performance (if a Ti model for this ever comes out that is). But to some of those who have been waiting for a 4K60Hz performance in a single card, this may be it. If this is true, then I can ditch my own multiple cards setup and go single card, and forget the headaches of SLI. That alone is enticing enough to pay for that kind of performance.

Keyword: "MAY achieve 4K60Hz". Nothing is certain until the benches are out. All these suppositions and guesstimations are based on the fact that it's "up to" 60% faster than the last gen Titan X.

They dont need Palit, they have fair pricing on most of their GPU cards anyway, unless they're super-clocked.

Your 970 Strix is announced January 2014. USD/MYR was 3.35. What is it now again?

Palit (or rebranded as PNY in the US) has a long history of quality control problems with their cards. Them pricing it cheap either means that they're aggressively trying to regain that market share and trust they've lost, or God forbid, them using cheaper quality parts (low quality VRMS, PCB components, etc) to make up for selling their card at that price. Business is business, no company is doing their business on the basis of charity, and nobody wants to sell at a loss unless that loss means gains in other departments.

Great that it worked for you. The cost of them learning their lesson by putting the cheapest price in the market works. Must've hurt their bottom dollar, but as long as they get good impressions, that's the price they have to pay for it.

Just because it supports your cause, it's "far more legit and transparent". Talk about cherry-pickin' season. Confirmation bias at its best.

What's transparent here is that if you pick a game that favors Vulkan/DX12, AMD's cards looks good. DX11 cards, it's Nvidia's turn. No surprises there. Plus, aren't that article more relevant to your AMD side of the forum? The AMD thread is that way. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3963636/+1920#entry80996929

And you question why I call that confirmation bias and/or cherry-pickin'?

I know where my biases are, I've explained them in previous posts. What's your point posting that here then?

You have more patience than I do addressing this. I left that "explanation mode" behind the moment I posted that #PlayMoreGames hashtag a few weeks back. After all, I bought these cards to play games, not to play the numbers game. And I dont see why I should bother taking up arms about these lower end cards, when I'm enjoying my GTX1080. Should just grab popcorns and watch the plebs duke it out for my entertainment pleasure.

EDIT:And no, I'm not stepping foot in that troll-infested cesspool place called Kopitiam. I see lots of them trying to "goad" their way into Hardware section here, some try to disguise their trollish way with better language, but others just brings their /k nonsense here without any filter. Scroll back and see.

Bleh, these 1060 vs 480 mudslinging contests are beneath me. I should be sitting by the side and enjoying the show.

I am SALIVATING, I need a bib!

The joy of three old Titan X with water blocks: sell them off and it funds more than 2/3 of the cost of getting two Titan XPs.

Not gonna be sold in Malaysia unless the vendors goes through the only available channel to buy this: through Nvidia.

When that is the case, why rely on sellers here to do that, when you can do that yourself?

Precisely. But in my case it's heading to Singapore and will be "smuggled" into KL after that. I'm not paying a single sen, not even GST, to the government here.

Drivers? Ready.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

No Titan X Pascal for me. Credit card fail to authenticate at checkout. Either they changed the credit card charging agent or they beefed up the address lookup against cards outside of the US.

Not gonna hassle American friends for this, amount is too much to ask for (two TXPs and 4 slot HB bridge goes up to USD2500++).

Looks like I will be slaughtered by the local vendors then. Haih......

Cautiously optimistic. Will only celebrate once it ships to the forwarding agent.



Also ordered the HB SLI Bridge in a separate order.

Drool, stay in mouth. One more week. Just....one.....more....week.

FPS performance lands perfectly into doing pCars in VR finally! I had to drop settings like mad on my current rig, and this one is just perfect!
