nVidia Titans still worth the investment?

They dropped the price of the 780 when the 780Ti launched to a very fair price, so in this instance and assuming the same will happen, I expect the 980 to drop in price and the cut down TX to come in at the same as the 980 is now or maybe a smidge more. Of course all speculation though and I could be ******* in the wind.

Actually I think you might have gotten the order of things wrong...it was launch of the 290/290x that lead to the price slash of the 780, and Nvidia only launched the 780Ti so they can reclaim the crown from the 290x. Had AMD not launched the 290/290x, the 780 would not have dropped in price, and we probably wouldn not have seen the 780Ti came into existence.

So what I want to say is Nvidia doesn't really price base on what they themselves have on the market, but more like their pricing strategy has always been about shoot it through the roof with the top card, while the rest is pricing to reacting to AMD's pricing, and 1-upping over them on performance.

It is easy to bring a card out 1-2 months later down the line with the full knowledge of the performance of AMD's new cards, and the full control set whatever stock clock they wish to have it showing faster than AMD's offering in reviews and benchmarks and claim the card is faster...and most people don't really comparing max performance on overclocking, as it is difficult to find consistent benchmark results for those.

nVidia might well do a cut down TX and I fully expect them to but it still won't be cheap.

A rock and a hard place for you.

They won't do that until AMD show their hand in June. So once again Nvidia have timed it perfectly and get a free launch basically. Free to have the market all to themselves for three or four months.

Stone me, no wonder AMD can't shift stock.

how many gamers will buy a Titan X at 1000 quid over the next 3 months, not many !!!

the only card that will appeal to loads of us all at once, is a cheap 390X that has about the same performance, and only 500 to 600 quid.

i think you'll find that 85% of all gamers are waiting to see the 390X first
 
my 290x out does a few titan's on the 3Dmark, also my 2 x 7950's out did a lot of titan's on 3Dmark.

so you happy to spend £1000 on 2 titan's for years of gaming, why not spend £400 on 2 x 290x's.

I think he is fed up of waiting for AMD's drivers and wants a change. AMD really should not be making people wait this long. At the least they should communicate better.

One sold on the MM for sub £300

I think it is a supply and demand thing dude. Not like there are many people dying to sell their titans out there. Just because one sold for that price does not mean automatically that the next guy must match or beat the price the previous titan was sold at does it?

And I think that titan was the one gregster was going to sell to me. Which didn't go through as he sold it elsewhere :(

No bud, wasn't mine. I don't mind saying that all 3 of mine were sold for a lot more than £300 and after being given a nudge to put them on the bay, they lasted less than 30 mins with a buy it now price.

Even after their silly fees it seems you did well ;)

Cheers!

I don't think I could have passed up the opportunity. While they may be slightly older gen cards, they are total behemoths when it comes to a multi card arrangement.

Once you start clocking that's when they really open up and plenty of Vram so you're covered for all occasions..
