I've just recently RMA'd a Titan RTX myself and the service was very good. It took less than a week from the time I shipped the card out to the time I had a brand new one back with me, and I'm in Canada and had to ship to San Jose. I got an overnight label from them right away and they shipped...

I agree, it's a fun card to play with! I've been messing around with mine and without even trying placed in the top 20 of Superposition 8k Optimized with just the auto-overclock and no memory overclock whatsoever. No shunt mods either. In terms of the shunt mod, does that reduce the life of the...

Is that before or after the shunt mod? What were you getting (in terms of clock) before the mod?

Hmm, did Nvidia kill your dog or something?

It should, 2080 Ti water blocks are compatible since its the same PCB. I'll probably be installing an EK block on my T-REX.

Ordered... curious to see how it’ll compare to my Quadro RTX 6000.

Technically, all they have to do is have it available to order by December 31st. So there are still 2 weeks left...

This is not quite true. The Quadro RTX 6000 PCB is different from the 2080 Ti or the Titan RTX. For one it has an 8-pin and a 6-pin connectors, the TU102 is also binned differently with the Quadro line having different designations on the chip (probably higher quality chips), there are other...

Although it is true that the gaming cards are overpriced, I do not think you would see much movement with cards like the Titan series unless AMD has serious competition on that front that is also cheaper. Considering the Titan cards are now considered more for professional applications I would...

You're missing the point, it's not a gaming card and the price is fair compared to the equivalent Quadro (which I have in my lab), the only thing Quadro does is offer a blower-style cooler (which is good for racks and systems with multiple GPUs) and ECC support. The extra RAM is necessary for...

Because this is not for strictly gaming, some scenes and many datasets for professional applications need more than 11 or 12GB. The price also suggests it's not fo for gaming. Of course you can game on it and it'll be a bit faster than the 2080 Ti, but not worth more than double the price for...

I don't understand this reasoning. You still got the best for the given price segment, the Titan RTX will be considerably more than 2080 Ti, might even be in the Titan V range.

I expected this from day 1 of the RTX announcement and based on the "teases" it'll likely come out soon, maybe next week. It'll likely have the same specs as RTX 6000 (full TU102) with half the RAM, i.e. 12GB as other recent Titan cards. But who knows, maybe they'll go all out and have a 24GB...

In for testing before moving into the lab....

5960X @ 4.5GHz versus a 9900K @ 5GHz, would that be a sidegrade or an upgrade in terms of overall performance? Yes, there is the clock deficit on the 5960X, but it does have quad-channel memory.
