**NVIDIA's Latest Gamble: Deep Learning Cards**

I'm here today to talk about NVIDIA's latest foray into the gaming market, but it's not exactly what you'd expect from a company known for its deep learning cards. Instead of focusing on gaming performance, they've decided to release a high-end graphics card that's more suited for gaming than deep learning.

As an over-the-top guy who loves power and is all about putting as much power in their products as possible, NVIDIA has gone all out with this new card. However, it seems like the company forgot one crucial thing: what the market actually wants. This card was released at a staggering $700 price point, which is more than many gamers are willing to pay for a graphics card.

But that's not the only issue with this new card. NVIDIA has essentially taken a deep learning card and used it as a base for their gaming product, which raises questions about why they're doing it in the first place. The company is known for its deep learning expertise, but it seems like they've compromised on performance to make something that's more appealing to gamers.

One thing that did catch my attention was how much praise this card received from fans and reviewers alike. Apparently, people were thrilled with the price point of $700, which seemed like a great value compared to other high-end gaming graphics cards on the market. However, I have to ask: what makes this card so special? Is it really worth paying $200 more than the previous generation's Titan X?

I also can't help but wonder why NVIDIA decided to release this card at all. It seems like they're trying to compete with other companies that offer deep learning solutions, but at a cost that's more suited for gaming. But then again, maybe I'm just not thinking about it from the right perspective.

I remember when I first heard about the new Titan X card, and how people were excited about its potential for gaming performance. And let me tell you, it did deliver. The 1080 Ti was a phenomenal performer, and it's still one of my favorite graphics cards out there today. But now, with this new release, things have changed.

What really bothers me is that NVIDIA seems to be playing the same trick again. Remember when they released the original Titan X card at $1,200 price point? And then, a few months later, they came out with an even more powerful version, the Titan X P, which was still way overpriced for what it offered. And now, they're doing it all over again.

This time around, however, things are even more confusing. The new card is priced at $700, but it's essentially a deep learning card with some minor tweaks to make it more gaming-friendly. It's like NVIDIA is trying to have their cake and eat it too, or maybe they're just trying to confuse the market.

**The Moral of This Story**

As I said earlier, I'm not exactly thrilled about this new release from NVIDIA. But I do think there's a lesson to be learned here. What happened with this card is a prime example of how companies can mess up their business model by releasing products that don't quite make sense.

In the case of NVIDIA, they seem to be more focused on deep learning solutions than gaming performance, and it shows in their products. I mean, who needs a $700 graphics card when you could get an equivalent solution for half the price? It just doesn't add up.

And let's not forget about the founder's edition Titan X P P which was extremely powerful but also limited to only 3840 resolution that is going to be even more expensive and also only available with founders edition cooler this design in terms of noise performance ratio is pretty poor

But hey, at least NVIDIA is trying to innovate, right? I mean, it's not like they're just regurgitating the same old products over and over again. They're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with deep learning and graphics processing.

**Apologies to Terry Cruz**

I also want to apologize to Terry Cruz for putting his name in this article without giving him proper credit. He was a great guy who deserved better than to have his name dragged through the mud because of NVIDIA's mistakes.

So, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what happened with Terry Cruz and how it relates to this new release from NVIDIA. It all started when people were asking me if I'd like to try out some custom-built gaming PCs for my next video. And then, I was approached by Terry Cruz who offered to build me a custom PC using his own money.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Jay, why did you agree to do this?" Well, it's simple really. Terry Cruz is an old friend of mine, and I've always respected him for his kindness and generosity. So, when he offered to build me a custom PC, I jumped at the chance.

But here's the thing: Terry Cruz wanted to use NVIDIA's latest graphics card in his build, which was a bit of a problem. You see, that card is only available with deep learning solutions, not gaming performance. And let me tell you, it didn't exactly make sense for a gaming PC.

So, I had to make some tough decisions about how to proceed. In the end, we decided to go with a different graphics card that was more suited for gaming. It wasn't ideal, but it was necessary.

And that's where things get interesting. As I started talking to Terry Cruz about his project, I realized that he had been working on something much bigger than just building a custom PC. He was trying to show the world what deep learning and AI could do, and how they could be used for good.

Now, I'm not saying that NVIDIA's latest release is bad or anything. But I am saying that it shows how companies can mess up their business model by releasing products that don't quite make sense. And it also highlights the importance of innovation and taking risks in the pursuit of progress.

So, there you have it. That's my take on NVIDIA's latest gaming card release. It's not exactly what I expected, but it's still an interesting product nonetheless.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enPro tip if you want to get better color use a gray card I almost went down the stairs what's up guys J2 sense here and it's been a while since I've done one of these videos and I want to preface this by saying that Nvidia has been one of my sponsors for quite a while all the founders edition cards you guys have ever seen come through here were supplied by Nvidia I kind of feel like I have a pretty good working relationship with them and I hope that can remain the case after this video because since I like Nvidia is why I'm going to give them a little bit of tough love this video is going to pretty much just be a talking head with me talking to the camera very unscripted very raw so forgive me if it kind of goes all over the place but it's been a while since I've done one of these and I'm a little out of practice but I woke up this morning to some very interesting news I woke up to an email from Nvidia uh press release basically saying hey guys we are launching the allnew Titan X Pascal and I'm going wait what the titanex Pascal launched in like August of last year that's strange and I'm looking through the dates and stuff and I'm like wait a minute April fools was a week ago that doesn't make sense so as I'm reading this press release on the toilet this morning which is usually how I start my day I'm very confused I see the date is April 6th and I started thinking maybe this was some sort of an accidental re-release of an old press release but included in this was the mention of them now including Max support for the Pascal based gpus so I'm going that's no that's new that's interest I don't understand this why are we talking about titanex Pascal being all new then I noticed they're actually using a little p now next to the X which we've kind of been doing ever since August August of last year cuz remember you don't want to confuse yourself with the Titan X being confused with the Titan X or especially the new Titan X being confused with the Titan X and not to be confused with the older titanex but not the oldest titanex which is the middle Titan X but now they're calling it Titan x p but we've been calling Titan x titanex p since August of last year because we were smart enough to not confuse oursel by calling it just Titan X but now Nvidia is confusing the matter by even further by adopting the P which we put on there ourself so now we have the Titan XP not to be confused with the Titan XP to be confused with the XM so of course the running joke right now is the next card is going to be Titan Vista and followed by Titan 7 but one of the interesting things about the press release though it didn't go into any of the changes on the Titan XP which is what was very confusing the new Titan XP not the okay I already went through that we don't need to go through that again I'm looking at the specs I'm going ah they bumped up the cacor it's got 3840 cacor Now versus the Titan X big p so we use big p nid is using Little P so I don't know anyway it's got versus the 3584 cakor found in the Titans that are currently in my system looking through the specs also it's got a little bit faster boost clock 1582 versus 1531 found in the original uh not the original the older tit XP this is this is why the naming first of all is stupid it's stupid if they were out to confuse the buyers then they've done a fantastic job at that um but the new Titan XP has again 12 GB of memory which you you'd expect but it's got 11 .4 gbit per second memory speed versus the 10 GB per second on the older Titan so what they've done is they have essentially just bumped up the clock speed the memory speed and gave it 256 more cacor now let me go ahead and get into the rant portion of this video all along the Titan cards have been kind of known as the unlocked big chip of whatever it is whether it was Kepler or Maxwell or now Pascal you would sit there and you would go wow the Titan is as fast as it can get for that generation and the Titan XP was expected to be that very same thing with the new core and 3584 Cuda cor and we're like that's a ton of cores how much better can it possibly get now here's where as a consumer I would be pretty upset let's say I bought a Titan X last year saved my money for it 1,200 bucks finally got it top-of-the line card and then you fast forward a few months the 1080 TI comes out that has pretty much the exact same specs with the exception of 1 gbyte less memory but it's faster memory uh comes out at $700 and it's actually edging out the card I bought for $1,200 in performance yeah I'd already feel like I got kicked in the face by Nvidia but what if you just bought that card prior to launch and you're like oh well it's only a little bit slower but then to find out that only a month and a half after this guy launches Nvidia refreshes the Titan XP for the same price I paid and it's faster in every single way than even this guy which is already faster than the card I paid $1,200 for so I paid $1,200 for a card that's slower than a card that's $700 and Wast lower than a card that cost the same price that came out just a little bit later what are you doing over there what what is going on over there in that division uh okay so here's another part of the story I want to go into when I first requested the Titan X's for skunkworks uh I was essentially told it's not a GTX card although it says GTX and GeForce GTX right on the damn thing I was told it's not a GeForce gaming card it's a deep learning card and that it would be difficult for them to get them for me long story short as you guys know how the story ended I got two of them and they got put in Skunk Works and they are absolutely phenomenal when you're told they're not a gaming card but then you come out with a card that's faster than it and you Market it towards Gamers that makes your original statement kind of a load of Croc and then to come out with a new Titan now let's talk about Terry's crew Terry Cruz's PC here real quick because it's just about done I'm finishing that one up and I see this and I'm going you've got to be me you've got to be me I've got a ton of people asking me if I'm going to go to the 1080 TI on his build and I went no that's not a big enough difference to really warrant taking all the blocks off and redoing it just for the sake of a couple of FPS especially on water and they're going to be overclocked but now the new cards come out and I write an email and I'm basically like hey get me two of the new Titan XPS this is for Terry Cruz this is hugely visible let's do it because he's an over-the-top guy he's powerful it's put as much power in there as we possibly can and I'm told no because they are not a gaming card they're deep learning card here we go again with this cycle of deep it's like you already used that that story and then you obsoleted that story by coming out with a gaming card based on the exact same GPU and made it faster than the card you told me wasn't for gaming and now here we are again so anyway guys um here's the moral of this story and and of course when I didn't want to make this video and like I said I'm a fan of nvidia's products um I don't know what the hell the business model is right now I'll be honest I feel like they've shadowed something here when this card launched at 700 bucks two things happened that made people very happy with Nvidia which typically nvidia's kind of either loved or hated there's not a lot of Middle Ground people with that I saw people praising the price of this card at $700 how often do you see people praise a $700 card as being value you know why there was value because it was faster than the $1,200 card which made it fantastic and of course the 1080 slid down to the $500 price point and by the way you should have slid the 1070 down another 50 bucks because then he just would have dominated the $300 to $700 GPU Market but I digress what do I know about business this card right here was praised because it allowed the 1080 to be more affordable and which is a phenomenal performing card in itself this guy right here was beating the titanx P the middle titanx P for $500 less but now what you've done is you've pissed off the people who paid $1,200 again you pissed them off once with this and you did it even further by offering this which we now know was extremely held back in limited core again anyway I think there's a huge mistake not putting them in Terry Cruz's build but even if they wanted to send them now on the on this this isn't about me I'm not putting 1080ti in Skunk Works let alone the new Titans I'm not that interested in that honestly this is where I spend my time now not in front of skunkworks but I felt like Terry Cruz deserved it so there a little bit of an explanation I'm going to have to do in that video of why the cards that's in there is like the older Titan but not the newer Titan and then it was suggested that I go with 1080 TI but like I said tearing it all apart just to get a couple of extra FPS um not worth it to me so if you are a consumer and you I'm sorry I'm just going to apologize on nvidia's behalf that if you paid 1,200 bucks for the original Titan I'm sorry for the boot to the head you got twice it really sucks if you are looking to buy a new graphics card I highly suggest you skip the Titan product line entirely simply because it doesn't make sense even at 3840 cacor I I showed you guys what the custom cards are able to do to 4K gaming and of course the founders Edition Titan x p p PX P PX PX PP is going to be even faster it's also going to only come with the founders Edition cooler which is hot noisy um and just overall a poor design in terms of as not Aesthetics it looks fantastic but in terms of noise to Performance ratio just go with the custom 1080 TI and you'll be happy that's it the only reason I made this video was because of course I woke up this morning to a million messages and tweets and and emails of people did you see the new card did you see the new card what are you going to do what are you going to do guys I'm not going to do anything I'm not going to do anything except for sitting in front of this camera and which is what I basically just did anyway I hope we can still be friends after all of this and what's going to make this even more Awkward is NVIDIA is flying out to be here for the introduction of the Terry Cruz PC PC to him so that's going to make for some interesting dinner conversation but uh doesn't really matter this Channel's called Jay's 2 cents because I have an opinion and I want to share it and that's my opinion on the matter it's fairly strong one I think mistakes were made all right guys that's it nothing else to say 1080 TI not for deep learning oh and one more thing if you guys don't see me in any future Nvidia launch events watch this video and you'll probably know why I wasn't invitedPro tip if you want to get better color use a gray card I almost went down the stairs what's up guys J2 sense here and it's been a while since I've done one of these videos and I want to preface this by saying that Nvidia has
