Based on their Pascal architecture, NVIDIA has announced their top-end GPU the 'TITAN Xp' and it's an absolute monster of a card. NVIDIA only announced their 1080 Ti back in March, so I was wondering if they would do another TITAN.
It has 3840 cuda cores with a memory speed of 11.4 Gbps and a massive 12 GB GDDR5X with an impressive memory bandwidth of 547.7 GB/s. It supports a max resolution of 7680x4320 at 60Hz, for those high definition display you're all hoarding.
You can find the full specification and more info here. It will cost a small fortune at £1,159.00 so you might want to sell a few limbs.
Would you be looking to buy one? I can only imagine the performance levels with something like that.
My 980ti is sounding a little old right now, but I still personally want to move to an AMD GPU to take advantage of the open source Mesa drivers. Still, I can't help feeling excited by how GPUs have progressed in recent years to be able to get a behemoth like this. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

8K incoming. Can't wait for a more reasonnable budget card and also like Liam, if possible an AMD GPU. Playing at 2k5 is already quite a budget I can't afford^^

I don't get who/what these cards are aimed at? This behemoth will likely retail for well over a grand, given that the plain 1080s are still around the £500-600 mark and the TI edition is £800-900. I mean, there's top-end gaming, and then there's just flushing money out the window!
Hey, even Oprah needs a good graphics card.

For people with allot of disposable income is my guess. That isn't me for sure, and probably never given how things have been going :(
But with the sale of old PC parts and stuff, I think I can manage a Ryzan 1600x + Rx Vega build in the future....I think 8k screens would need at least a 20tflop card for decent gaming performance, I'd be happy with a 4k OLED screen if those ever go down to decent price ranges...

Would love to point my Blender renders at those CUDA cores. Yummy.

I'd consider buying one. I have a Razerblade Stealth and Core and I connect two external 2560x1440 monitors to my Single GPU. My core can't really be expanded/upgraded beyond one GPU so for me it makes sense to buy the biggest/beefiest GPU I can buy.

no thanks, i will not spent more in hardware than i do in software.
specially considering they might give us an subpar performance, and nvidia is evil enough.

Will TitanXP go to re-seller shops ?
When you go to order it doesn't give you the option to ship to Europe.. only in USA :><:

My old workplace (an engineering company) used to use a Titan for this modelling software they used. It required a really hard core PC. For them, installing the Titan cut their simulation time down by a matter of hours.
I remember putting that baby in there myself, knowing it was probably the closest I'm ever going to get to one :(
That kind of scenario is very likely where cards like this are aimed. I'll just lump it under the heading "CAD". A well stocked card on a backend server, feeding results to a thin client. Of course, depends on the CAD setup - in some cases it might be better to give every appropriate user something cheaper but otherwise adequate for the job.
Either way, cards like this aren't aimed at gaming. If it's aimed at any kind of production value, it'll be CAD. If not, it's a marketing exercise.
The titan is traditionally aimed at the consumer hobbyist. Professional Nvidia cards go under the Quadro family, I think it's called, and they cost a lot more than the Titan cards. Many times more. Titan cards are a kind of middle ground between professional rendering cards and consumer cards and are very popular with freelance 3d-animators and hobbyists like myself. Do I want the new Titan card? Yes. Can I afford it? No.
I have the previous Titan X, and it pretty much allows me to run any game I have with full graphics on, including Deus Ex. It's a bit overkill for gaming, but when you are rendering complex scenes you need the ten gigs of video ram the Titan x sports.

They probably put it out, to look better when Vega will come out. But it's hard for them to compete on price. I'm getting a Vega GPU as soon as kernel / Mesa will be in shape to support it. Seems like there will be a delay with that, because DC code wasn't merged yet.
If you're pairing it with built in Intel or AMD graphics you should be able to do without DC and use PRIME to offload the graphics rendering to the dGPU, it works rather well on my laptop since fencing was added (i.e. no tearing)

Don't AMD cards still suck pretty bad on Linux? I haven't had an ATI card since my 9800 pro back in the day because of the horrible driver support.
