I don't ...

"GeForce GTX Titan Release Date
The GTX Titan will be launched in a very limited quantity, only some reviewers will get the cards. Actually, each of them will receive three cards for 3-way SLI review. Card will be paper-launched on February 18th, while first reviews should appear a day later, which is normal for NVIDIA — they usually release cards on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

I was really hoping to get 2 of these, especially if the have the metalic finish. If that article is true, I'll have to spend my money elsewhere.

I'm building a new rig, been doing the case modifications for the last month, have all the hardware needed except for mobo and GPU's , been holding out for such a release.

New system will be a very nice upgrade over my current rig hosting a single 5850, I also plan on stepping up to 1600p from my current 1920x1200.

I was really looking forward to a "limited" production card similar to the mars release, limited as in a thousand or three.

If this does not hit the stores this month I guess I'll wait until prices drop a lil more on the current gen cards.

But GTX680 Classified was still a 680, and part of a larger pool of cards which increased the chances they were in stock at all.  Titan is coming off as more rare than an Asus MARS or an Intel Skulltrail type of product, it will be a one-off without a successor and most likely EVGA may not make one.  It will be expensive and hard to get, so everyone better have the funds and get ready to purchase at official launch.  I'm guessing that could be why it is paper launching first, to get people ready to drop from $1100 to $3500 depending on pre-order or whatever.

I hope this is not so  Rare = unequal opportunity = highly disappointing 

You are right Lephron,  
 
Even though it seems more realistic that this card exists.... its more realistic I won't get one lol
 
If it is $900, I say fair. If its more than that I just dont see the value aside some review site using three in SLI for some e-peen reviews. 
 
This has me thinking the 7xx series may in fact be delayed as well? Why would Nvidia release this, but if its a tiny run intended for the 1% then i guess its OK.

Well that would sux.  I could just get 2 690's.....  Let's see what happens.

Just wait till you guys see the "Mount Olympian" graphic cards from AMD.

Well like I said:

lehpron 
Titan is coming off as more rare...

Plan head with a bit more than whatever has been suggested for MSRP and hit F5 as many times as you can.

From what I'm hearing, Titan may have a higher minimum frame rate since each GPU in GTX690 is slower and only uses 2GB of Vram. It is theoretically ready for 4K displays, but yeah, wait for reviews.

Those delayed as well? 

Some of the reported numbers do not add up, but I will provide you with what we do know and the numbers that should come from that knowledge.

Original figures taken from here:
http://wccftech.com/nvidi...aunches-18th-february/

What we "know":

14 SMX @ 875MHz
2688 Shader Processors
224 Texture Mapping Units
48 Render Output Units
6GB 384-bit GDDR5 @ 6008MHz (Cannot be 512-bit as that would require either 4GB or 8GB of GDDR5, not 6GB)
Single GK110 Core, 7.1 Billion Transistors, 28nm Process, 521mm^2 Die Size, 250W TDP, PCIe 3.0 x16 Interface, February 18 Paper Launch, February 25 Hard Launch, $899 Launch Price
 
What we can calculate from this data:
 
GigaPixels/s = # of Render Output Units (48) * Clock Speed (0.875GHz) = 42GP/s
GigaTextures/s = # of Texture Mapping Units (224) * Clock Speed (0.875GHz) = 196GT/s
Single Precision GFLOPS = 2 * # of Shader Processors (2688) * Clock Speed (0.875GHz) = 4704GFLOPS
Double Precision GFLOPS = ??? because nVidia likes to artificially restrict this on their GeForce line. Their formula for restriction on this product is unknown.
RAM Bandwidth = Bus Width in bits (384) / 8 * Memory Speed (6.008GHz) = 288.384GB/s
 
Roughly speaking, with just Shader Processors * Clock Speed in mind, the GeForce Titan should be 52% faster than the GeForce GTX 680 and 20% slower than the GeForce GTX 690. Still, considering that this is a single GPU for a little less than the GeForce GTX 690, I think the price is justified. You are also free from any micro stuttering issues that may creep in with SLI. And if you want more performance, you have the option of adding 4 of these, you know, for those 4k displays and Crysis.

Ya man everyone has a bunch of speculation and interest of the new powerful card that supposably is to come out this month.

Callsign_Vega
Anyways, where is the Titan sub-forum? 

The same place the video card is. They've yet to make one up. 

gutcheck$1,499?  That's insane.  If they really cost that much looks like two 690's in my future.

Two 690s cost ~$1999.
