NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX TITAN

[Shawn Zipay]

In a world where CAPITALIZATION IS random, comes the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN! This $1,000 (USD) video card PROMISES to turn your PC into a "gaming supercomputer." Marketing... gotta love it.

Introducing GeForce GTX TITAN. Bring the powerful NVIDIA Kepler architecture technology that drives the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Titan supercomputer to your next gaming experience.

Now, this isn't the next series of cards from Nvidia. This isn't the 7xx line of cards or anything like that. This is a limited run of what is essentially the most powerful 6xx line of cards, but without the 6xx name designation. This is the fabled "Big Kepler" that enthusiasts were waiting for since the Kepler line was revealed.

With that said, it's a beast. Check out some of the previews for the card at AnandTech, Hardware Heaven, Legit Reviews, and Guru3D.

I dont know. Naming something Titan sounds very....resolute and all powerful. In a year or two (or faster) that just wont be the case.

It would be like Microsoft naming Windows Finale. Making a Finale 2 is just bad.

I also thought of the 2142 titans and wondered if this video card will cause lag when moving across the map

Surely not any worse than ATI's RAGE card.

Square-Enix has been naming their games with "Final" on it for years. Even had some that were continuing stories. They're still alive for the time being.

My console gaming friend thinks this is what will be in the PS4...I laughed in his face.

That is the time to take a bet. Doesnt have to be a large one or anything, but play it up and then make it on something.

This is about the same as x2 $500 cards.
