I'm way more interested in the tech details (viewports etc) than pricing and performance, that's the real interesting poo poo for me

Time to sell off one of my strix 970s and make my rig the htpc I've been wanting for a while. I really hope this thing can comfortably handle 4k

Nvidia ain't going to make making a sub $300 flagship card until AMD/ATI unfucks itself.

Well if AMD/ATI does unfuck itself with Polaris...

Yeah, ok, proper view ports for multi-monitor setups is pretty nice. Not convinced a single 1080 would be able to push 3 monitors on most AAA games, though, 30% stronger than a 980Ti or not.

So if the 1.22x the Titan X is really stock-for-stock, and it can viably hit 2100Mhz on air, you're looking at about 20-30% stronger than a 980Ti in real life. 8GB VRAM standard is nice, though.

Holy gently caress that actual boost clock

1733boost, 2.1ghz actual on their sample

Not cynic, realist: if they're publishing 1733 as the boost clock, then clearly 2100 is an overclock. But at 67C on air, that's looking mighty enticing.

What the hell is up with this presentation? Yes, fine, good, changing the viewport to put an angle offset on them relative to the middle, are they secretly fingerblasting eachother in the dark on stage in secret or something?

Titan x boost clock is 1075 yet mine hit 1300 with no user interaction.

I'm pretty sure they admitted it was overclocked. I think it was directly, but I don't have a stenographer here. Even if it was not directly, but by referencing Maxwells on liquid nitrogen, they acknowledged it.

Did the Maxwell cooler have a vapor chamber, btw?

All they said was the only fastest higher clocking card was maxwell on nitrogen. They didn't say they manually overclocked their sample (thought they could have)

At 400Mhz over their specced boost clock, and at a big revel, all signs point towards overclocked. But who the gently caress cares? If it can hit 2.1 on air at 67C, that should be an easily achievable number for 'em.
