It looks like Nvidia isn’t done with GPU launches for the year. The GTX 1070Ti launched just a few days ago but Nvidia is already teasing its next GPU release, with a new video showing off the TITAN X Collectors Edition.
This would be Nvidia’s third Titan X release this cycle. The original Titan X Pascal was replaced earlier this year with the Titan Xp, featuring faster memory, more CUDA cores and higher clock speeds compared to the original. The Titan X collectors edition will likely feature the same specs as the Titan Xp, with an updated cooling shroud. You can get a quick look at the new cooler in the teaser video below:
In the video, there is a specific frame that clearly shows ‘Titan X Collectors Edition’, which we have taken a screenshot of:
Going through the teaser frame by frame, we get a rough idea of what this new cooling shroud will feature. Early on in the video, we see what looks like a valve on the card, indicating that perhaps this will may come with a hybrid air/water block installed. Aside from that, the shroud features a new design compared to what we have seen on Founders Edition cards in the GTX 10 series so far. There also appears to be an LED strip in the heatsink section.
We don’t know when the Titan X Collectors Edition will be officially unveiled and released. However, as with all TITAN cards, expect it to be expensive.
KitGuru Says: Nvidia is getting as much as it can out of the Pascal architecture before Volta ushers in. Any guesses on how much the TITAN X Collectors Edition will cost?
Nvidia (not GTX) TITN XPp CE 😛
they should be relisting ther next gen card not the same old rehash stop milking an old chip
One more for the money! Nvidia ‘The way they want to be paid!’
Get volta out already
Agreed. I can’t wait for Volta to hit as it’s too late to grab a pascal series now.
Nvidia having nothing to do all day long… Ends up like this!
Truthfully, there is nothing wrong with being a late adopter, the point is to compare to the last one. If they were both late adopted purchases, then the time scale is the same as being a consistent early adopter.
The only catch is a late adopter can’t brag.
What do you expect? They are a profit-oriented organization, making money is the bottom line, they aren’t a charity. If you know all that, why complain? There is no sales threat to highend, so they will do what works (rehash) until a threat to highend is close, then they will preempt again.
Competition is and will always be the only reason for change in strategy– well, and PR, but with nVidia dominating the market, they can afford to lose a few customers upset at their tactics.
You know what’s funny? AMD was beyond stuck in the GPU market so nVidia could do exactly this. They didn’t earn nearly enough money they deserved (and this goes back to the HD 4000 series, mind you), so they made giant leaps, in hopes of attracting customers, but didn’t manage due to customers (and reviewers to some extent). So they started losing money, and nVidia kept doing whatever the fuk they were doing, and until recently, AMD had no money to actually work (I mean, they sold their headquarters). Now that Ryzen is selling well, and is by far the best product on the market, they’ll have a shit ton of catching up to do, but no time.
All thanks to customers.
That’s the case and I learned it the hard way xd.
expect this to be ~VERY expensive. at least £1,500
Consumers are getting savvy to this lame ass tactic.
They’ll get my money when the Volta cards come out.
No money for NVidia from me this year it seems.
Doesn’t sound like a smart business decision to me!
They have spread pascal too thin for too long!
When the competition has nothing good enough to offer as an alternative… And there’s still plenty of die area left on the 16nm node. Nvidia could easily squeeze out a second generation of consumer Pascal by just increasing the die size to the 600mm sq. mark and shifting the GP102 dies down into the new midrange. Couple that with either faster GDDR5X memory at each level, or perhaps do a 512-bit bus with it on the new Titans.
Hell, Nvidia could even move to the 12nm node to squeeze out even more cores and higher clocks. As for Volta, there’s no need for it outside the professional and enterprise spaces when AMD has nothing tantalizing to offer to beat Pascal other than the SSG product, which Nvidia is already geared up to release a competitor to.
Savvy or not, consumers don’t get a choice when the competition sucks. If Radeon has fallen into Intel’s hands, we’d be having a vastly different conversation. As it is, oh well. Pascal’s going to be around a good long while.
What a way to stagnate the market and hold back technology.
What happened to pushing the envelope? Easier (read: cheaper) to rest on your laurels when there’s no competition I guess.
Also a brilliant way to alienate your customers and have them lose faith in the company as a whole.
It’s not about what they could do, it’s about what they should do!
Nvidia could buy out AMD and never bring another card out after Pascal ever, but like your argument, that’s not the point.
That is investment capitalism for you. Now, if patents weren’t in the way, you’d have plenty of potential competitors, including Intel. As it stands, this is the system we’re in. Don’t hate the player (Nvidia); hate the game (global capitalistic patent-defended economics).
And who’d lose faith in Nvidia over this? Either you see enough benefit to buy fresh or you don’t. Now, if Nvidia ACTUALLY starts gimping previous generations, THEN you’ll get some angry consumers.
Nvidia could not do that due to antitrust law. This is also part of why I keep saying I wish AMD would give up the ghost, split in half, give Radeon to Intel, and give the CPU IP of the company to Nvidia. At least you’d have two well-financed tech titans instead of this imbalanced triangle. And Nvidia and Intel are both fighting to eat away at each other’s datacenter holdings. Nvidia’s producing its own PowerPC chips for its PGX (and I believe now VGX) server offerings, and Intel’s producing Xeon Phi and hybrid accelerators which have done more damage to Nvidia than Radeon FirePro products ever did.
The game sucks, but you can’t fault the player for being good at it.
That’s the case and I learned it the hard way xd.
