not 100% true the 295x2 is better in a lot of benchmarks. yeah its a dual core but still a single gpu.

The 295x2 cost over a grand when it was released I paid 1200 for the sapphire clocked version with steel case ... if your comparing launch costs
With a retail at $999.99 exchange rate at 1.47 = £678.28 i understand a import tax but a extra £250 or so on top, id thought it would be a little lower on the asking price. But thats the way it goes, companys have to make money some how i suppose.
It's VAT rather than import tax. VAT on top of £680 is £816. It's still not £900, so some price gouging is going on somewhere. However $999 will also be the US Pre-tax price.
A £54 gouge isn't *that* bad!
Better than any competitor and were forcing no one to buy.

I completely understand why it's done, don't get me wrong. it makes business sense to do so.

think you might want to check one of your mean competitors prices again
Wow EVGA are charging an extra £300 for a block mounted on the card...that seems a little OTT imo
That argument wont be used anymore,as the titan X runs at stupid high temperatures.Im guessing its all the vram,the OG titans didnt run this warm,and they used a similar power draw

lol i will stay loyal with yous after the way yous handled the whole 970 vram if i decided to buy one of the titan x.

TitanX is an truly epic card, but for the same money you can buy a pair of 980's then all of a sudden its a very difficult decision.
Titan X really is a 4k gaming product in my view as you will never get stutter from running out of VRAM as right now I do not think there is a single game on the market than can use up the full VRAM buffer maxed out.
So if you have a 4k monitor a Titan X all the way and a pair of them would be amazing for 4k gaming. We've had a few customers today actually buy 4 Titans for themselves, quad Titan SLI, BOOOOOOOOOM.
But a pair of 980's now looks like great value.

thats the debate im having with myself do i buy another 980 or titan x
i had a pair of 970's for like a day or two and got a bit of strutting which has made me worry of going sli again
im guessing a single titan x would get me 144 fps on my rog swift or else very close to it on ultra with out having to worry about sli scaling
