You have to pay to play in this kind of high-end territory with an MSRP that sits at $2,999. Expect to see custom cooled models going for even more.
Maybe this can actually max out Watch Dogs
Maybe it can make it look good
get two R9 295x2 for the price of this thing
So when is the GTX 790 coming out?
Its a secret
At what resolution? A GTX 780 (not the ti even) should be able to do it fine at 1080p.Quote:

I saw a review that said even the beefiest of rigs couldn't run it 1080p maxed out at a reasonable frame rate. I haven't played it personally.Quote:

I tried 4k UHD 3840x2160(p) as well, but it dips to about 30-40 FPS. Gonna have to get that 3rd TITAN.
For AMD builds yes. Nvidia not as much.Quote:

Idk though, I was just making a joke, whose humor is apparently as inconsistent as the performance of this game across various rigs.
Ubisoft doesn't know that the word "optimization" exists, let alone what it means.
It is painful to read reviews that a card that can run most games at 2560x1600 or similar res on all ultra at least 60+ fps, has issues running a new game at the same resolution, with marginal technology improvements.
AMD is alleging that, because it's an NVIDIA GameWorks game, that it is neutered for their cards. NVIDIA, of course, has made some counter-arguments -- like devs get source code access upon request so they can fix it for AMD if they like (even though that apparently started in April, which was probably too late in Watch Dog's dev cycle to matter). Officially, the game is supposedly more unoptimized on AMD.Quote:

And that nvidia is highly anticompetitive? It's the Microsoft of the gpu world.Quote:

When you only have one other real competitor I don't see why you wouldn't try and be competitive and molopolistic though.
Getting back on topic, I was considering selling my TITANs for one of these when I first heard rumors about it. Unfortunately, since it's a dual GPU card that performs worse than two single TITAN Blacks, and the price is worth three TITAN Blacks.... Welp... Literally no point to this card for gaming, it's a workstation card TBH.
So... how much were you wanting for one of your TITANS?
Way too Much
Well, right now I'd be selling at $700~.Quote:

You know, i'm surprised you take price into consideration when you're considering computer parts! :DQuote:

This is the best site for me HomeMakerGuide. I'm definitely not wasting my time there
