** TITANX **

No, but the majority of car analogies including yours, don't work.

A porsche offers far more over a indigo to a buyer than a Titan X does to say a 980/970 which gives you some extra fps in video games... It may have helped if you had used a decent scale where a car is double the price of the other. Your scale would be like comparing the Titan X to a card under £100...
 
The point still stands, swap out whatever manufacturer/product you want - whichever product is available, a cheaper can often be found.

But always great to see the usual petty nitpicking rather than looking at the bigger picture or understanding the point.

Always something better around the corner
 
You guys are overcomplicating things.

If you want the fastest single GPU to play around or a GPU for 4K this is it. If you want to smash 4K grab 2.

This is also good for futureproofing 1440p no doubt about it.

If you have the money it's an amazing card of what can be seen in benchmarks (12GB should have you set for some time) and you can SLI when the prices drop if you haven't purchased two.

Everything else comes down to if you justify purchasing this or waiting. There will ALWAYS be something faster one day.

I remember buying my GTX680s vanillas at roughly 600 GBP a pop (lets not forget the extra cash for a backplate and hi-flow brackets). I was a early adopter but I knew I would be paying a premium. ( I got mine day 1 prior to the stock running out)

I understood your point perfectly fine actually I was just pointing out your analogy was flawed and doesn't work.

Comparing GPUs to cars is generally a bad idea.
 
Well looks like i have to wait for the 390 x to come out because i am not buying this ripoff titan in a million years no way jose i want to play at 4k ok and no card at the moment is ready for it including this one.

Get yourself two of the 8GB 298X cards and you're good to go. I couldn't take that route because I need 3x DP, the cards are noisy, and I'd need to upgrade my PSU to a non-silent one.

Yes, I'm waiting for my TX to arrive. :)
 
Has anyone seen any benchmarks comparing a single Titan X to a pair of 780Ti's in SLI? The only thing that makes me slightly tempted is that stack of RAM, but i'd like to see something that can show if it really makes all that much difference right now. I guess something like Shadow of Mordor in 1440p would be great.

Not directly between 780ti's and the Titan X, but if you go by how 780ti's stack up against 980's, then go by how 980's stack up to a single Titan X, you'll probably not see any real difference.

That is until you run out of vram, which at 1440p may start to happen more and more towards the end of 2015.
 
Eye watering prices, respect to the likes of Kaap for quadrupling up on these beasts.

How much do you reckon it costs NVIDIA to make the Titan X? Surely they make profits on these?

I believe the high end cards have a 50-60% profit margin. If you assume $400-500 USD (half of $999 USD at USA retail, minus 10% margin for retailer and 5% for disty) and round it up to £280-£350 per card you would not be far off in that range I would imagine.

I think it's slightly higher than that actually, for NVIDIAs margins, or least it used to be.
