It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new GPU and with AMD’s news last week that it doesn’t plan to release its new Sea Islands architecture any time soon, we were resigned to a long wait for that next-gen console crusher.
We were more than surprised then, when Nvidia popped up with today’s announcement; the launch of GeForce GTX Titan. Rather than push the GTX 680 2GB down a rung or reshuffle it’s wide array of SKUs, the GTX Titan occupies an entirely new rung on Nvidia’s ladder; a super-premium single GPU card that's likely to top Nvidia's range for some time to come. With a price rumoured to be around the £830 mark though, just how can Nvidia justify that kind of financial outlay on a single-GPU card?
Sadly we’re under NDA until 2pm of Thursday this week when it comes to performance numbers or analysis, but on all other fronts the wraps are off, so let’s dig in and find out what’s new with GTX Titan.
