6 TFLOPs.. half that of a 1080 Ti, which is needed for 4k60 solid in most modern games.

Right, Microsoft, "native 4k60"... right.

So long as all the games are 1080p60 at minimum, the console's done its job. This 30FPS garbage needs to die.

@sanform: This has been standard industry practice for the digital era.

Why spend months more of development time when you can shove it out the door and release patches later after getting people's money?

I miss the old generation.

@esqueejy: Consoles are sub-1080p 30FPS locked down garbage.

There is no reason for a PC gamer to own one.

@esqueejy: Now if only it came to PC so millions of people who don't have (modern) consoles can play it.. like every other exclusive.

Modern AAA games continuing to provide disappointment while indie games are taking the spotlight.

Who'd have guessed.

@5tu88sy: 2x 780's. Same performance as a 1080 when overclocked, but SLI scaling is a pretty big issue as a bunch of games are not supporting SLI, or not supporting it well. Plus the cards kinda turn into a loud furnace running overclocked at max load..

The 1080 Ti would give me more of an excuse to get off SLI, but a single one is still not enough to drive modern games on a 3440x1440 display at 60+ FPS (and those displays are 100+Hz).

@analgrin: In non-games there is a performance loss.. but I guess that should be expected since it's a gaming card over a prosumer one.

In games, the increased memory speed is the only thing improving the framerate. If a game doesn't scale based on memory frequency, performance will be lower than the Titan. Also, it would have much better performance if they didn't cut the memory bandwidth.. boggles my mind why they did that. Didn't want to outclass the Titan that much? *sigh*

But yes, it's at most 5% better in games that do scale with memory speed; 1-2 FPS. Hardly anything worth writing home about.

Slightly stripped down Titan XP.

Too bad it took them 9 months to release the goddamn thing. I needed it back when the 1080 came out (was not an upgrade over my 2x 780's, but SLI is a problem with lack of support), but of course NVIDIA had no reason to do so since there was zero competition and it would just remove sales of the Titan.

At this rate it might just be better to wait until Volta.. unless that actually comes out in 2018.
