A couple of reasons, not the least of which is that, currently, I plan on gettng a 2560x1600 monitor.  I saw a 1440p monitor and was pretty impressed, and I want the option of high resolution for some games. 

Another reason, which isn't as silly as it sounds, is dedication to the hobby.  I like staying on the bleeding edge, and I love benchmarking.  I had the upgrade bug, and read the Titan reviews, and knew I wanted some.

Also, I feel that they will last a lot longer than my current cards before I "need" to upgrade.  2x Titan performs incredibly well, and 6 GB of VRAM is insane.  It's a relatively future-proof upgrade.

I guess this is gonna turn into a "how I should spend my money" discussion.  It did when I was wondering why there were none in stock.  :roll:

But honestly, I worked very hard in college and then in grad school after that to get where I am today, I feel I can do as I please with my spending money.  :)

Yep, I finally found some.  :)  

Turns out, a friend of mine knew a guy who owned a computer store in Los Angeles, who set me up with two of them.

Well just keep at it, a good education will pay off big time!  

Not sure why I'd laugh, iibrary sciece is a perfectly good field to go into...especially since you love books!  :)

please tell me you atleast have dual monitors... i'm waiting for Maxwell

I ordered 2 and they arrive Thursday of next week. I can't wait! :)FaustArp

If you feel the need to get rid of those "old" and "outdated" 680's I'll gladly take them off your hands. :D:twisted:

[spoiler] No, seriously. Are you selling them? [/spoiler]

Post some thoughts, pics,  and benchmarks.  :)

You must be rich. :D, help a fellow PC gaming peasant out. Haha. 

Seriously, buy me one too. I only need the one. :). Btw, what do you do for a living?

I'm in my last semester of nursing school right now, but I'd never bable to afford two titans at any given time. I have a wife and 8 month old. Got kids? 

have a 690gtx don`t feel the need 2 upgrade.........

I'm still happy with my GTX590 (which I got for free! :) ) I'm going to wait for Maxwell to come out next year, though if Pirate Islands (or is it Volcanic Islands next year) chips from AMD are up to scratch I could end up going down that route again, it's been a long time since I had an ATI/AMD GPU.

This year I'm considering a RAM upgrade, thinking of getting some DDR3 2400 and an i7 Haswell, though that will depend on the available socket sizes. If they come out with availability on 1155 then I don't think I'll be able to talk myself out of it. :D If they don't I may go for a 2600k instead.

EDIT - I shouldn't have to state what I do for a living, or justify my purchases to internet strangers.  :P

Anyway, back to the Titan:

Reviews are good, delivery date is Thursday, benchmarks are impressive, and look how sexy these things are:

^^That's what I call one nice-looking GPU! :cool:

I can't wait!  :D

What would you upgrade to?  You'd literally have to have 2 Titans in SLI to be significantly faster than what you have.  

I agree with you and am slightly jealous. I might of considered going for a couple but the missus would never understand. It's really not worth the fight. She's still waiting for me to grow out of "playing stupid video games" It didn't happen when I was a teenager, didn't happen when I hit 20, didn't happen when I hit 30, wont happen when I hit 40!acanofcoke

acanofcoke & soolkiki:

I hear you guys.  Gaming is just as legitimate a hobby as any other.

I know a guy who buys a new Harley Davidson every few years because of his motorcycle hobby.  A few pieces of hardware and some games is nothing!  :P  Lol.

Gaming is a perfectly fine hobby.  

A stimulating one at that!  :D

I don't get why people **** and wine when someone spends big on their hobby. I mean come on guys, building and playing on PCs IS our hobby. So who cares if someone likes spending a lot of money on what they enjoy? Pc gaming is like any other hobby, for example my dad's hobby is fishing. He spends a lot of dough on fishing gear, so good for him! My brother in law likes motorcycles (as I do) and he has 4 of them, each one kicks more ass than the other, oh an he has spent thousands on riding gear. In conclusion, PC gaming is a hobby like any other and if you have spare income to spend on it well good for you!

People should be praising anyone getting a Titan if anything since having a top of the line rig is never a bad thing.

Go for it then! I could afford it but I really don't think it's worth it. I think you should get yourself a 3930K as you're so flush.acanofcoke

i think i'm going to get an asus rampage IV gene to go with it and the titan. either that or sabertooth.

That's cool man. You don't need to defend yourself so much haha. Whatever makes you happy. Personally, I think they are overpriced but that doesn't mean one shouldn't buy it if they could afford it and that's what they really wanted. Cheers mate. Have fun. Come back and post the beast rig.

Fastest PC on Gamespot? :P

Was it temperature throttling?

Probably one of the first things I'll do when I get mine is increase the tempetature target, probably to 90 C.  We'll see.

its is a great card, but not $1,250 great (the price in Australia). Also, i am gaming at 1080p where my single 680 runs without breaking a sweat so its really not needed.

No, waste of money.
