I'm running a Titan Black here, which is (apart from the the VRAM size, which is 6GB) pretty much the same in terms of CUDA cores.
Titan X = 3072, Titan Black = 2880, that to me, is not really the big difference I was hoping for here.

The Titan Black is essentially available today for about the same price...

And on top of that - why would I want to buy a Maxwell card NOW, if there might be the new Pascal generation of cards around the door (which according to nVidia) will sport 10x the power of Maxwell - although only for deep learning, but why couldn't that be used for rendering as well?

You can't compare Maxwell to Kepler cores 1:1. It's going to be around ~40% faster than Titan Black looking at the early benches.

Also the Pascal slide is showing FP16, which isn't very useful for us

If X scores about 150 in OctaneBench it will be an attractive card.

Looking good comparatively in gaming, gets a little hot though:

Hopefully someone will put up an OctaneBench score ASAP

8x150=1,200, which is about the same as that phantom AMD R9 scored.

In that review it says.

Moreover, Nvidia says it pushed the Titan X to speeds of 1.4GHz using nothing more than the supplied air-cooler during its own testing, so we're obviously interested in testing that.

I do like to test oc'ing that as well 1.4 GHz would be great

Sweclockers has some rendering benchmarks:

Very interested to see Octane benchmarks on this beast!
Could be a great card for GPU farm machine I want to build..

I'm guessing in Canada it will be 2 x the price of GTX980, and not 2x the performance (maybe 1.5x).
But taking up much less case room and using less power than 2 cards.

I wonder about the 980Ti though, it will probably come out in the next 6months and be better price/performance ratio.
Never ending!

He is talking and talkig about network learning but where is the Octane Bench score?

been gone to eat a bit, but tuning back =) amazing stuff!!!

P.S. Smicha, Tutotr I think You need to buy that development kit & make self driving workstations =DDDD

Excellent recommendation.

A Very Good Day
While we marvel over the Titan Z, Otoy - the maker of our favorite rendering software - wasn’t sleeping today.
