NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB Graphics Card Review

Hmmm
It is interesting how every review of late talking about the new Titan and now the Ti fail to mention how badly NVidia has crippled the “new” Titan and 980Ti’s FP64 capabilities. They are now a mere shadow of their original Titan roots. And for the record, even the 2 year old R9 290X stomps all over the “new Titan” and the new “Ti” in FP64 apps. Cherry picking benchmarks hardly gives the true picture of just how hamstrung the NVidia cards are in many non gaming applications. It is also fascinating to watch how the very same websites that have been bashing AMD on heat and power issues now white wash the fact that these “new” cards now run significantly hotter than the R9 290X. They also “save” the user a little more than half a 60 watt light bulb in energy saving (assuming zero overclocks) at best. Then there is the fact that these cards at present cost 2-3 times the R9 290X. What happened to the value equation in evaluating “consumer” graphics cards? And finally there seems to be little mention of the fact that most of the titles in many of these initial reviews of the Ti are specifically written to favor NVidia cards.
It is not that I am claiming that the “new” cards are not fast fster than the R9 290X in FP32) it is the manner in which they are being so actively promoted instead of reported. It makes it impossible for the casual user to a clear picture and hence make an informed purchasing decision.
