High demand for Titan X exceed supply

I do find it crazy to spent £1000 on one card. I mean you could get a 55 inch tv for the same price or a full very fast PC system lol.
I have the money to do it but I feel like it wont be long before you can get much quicker for cheaper. I paid £300 less for a 34 inch ultrawide screen so when I match it up to that it seems like a crazy price. I mean you could also get two 295x2 cards into quadfire for around the same price. Quadfire isn't that great as its hard enough to get crossfire support but you see my point.

Yeah because 1 or 2 exceptions is the norm right?

I bet those that jumped ship from a 295x2 wish it was only 1 or 2 exceptions.

I am a former crossfire user man, fair enough I didn't use it that long but I've been with AMD/ATI for a long time so I've had time to make my own judgement on it.
Just ask the guys that jumped from the 295x2 or crossfire to this and their experiences there's a couple of them in this thread.
 
People here are discussing how the Titan X is the perfect card, despite its high price tag, but really, only like 0.1% of PC gamers can afford these graphics cards (yes, pulled this statistic from my backside), and far fewer than that would actually want to spend that much money on a graphics card.

The reason this card has sold out so quickly is because the demand exceeds supply (obvious, isn't it?). Without knowing the real figures, we might speculate whether it's a 100 units or 100,000.

And yeah, I wouldn't mind one myself, as long as Nvidia can commit to releasing driver in intervals lesser than every 4 months. :p

your right theres no real figures showing how many titan X's have sold.. but I think they will always release very few at launch to create demand.. its all business.. and all they want is our lovely money :D

I suspect.. my opinion.. under 150 titan X sold since release in UK

I've used crossfire since the x1900xtx days, most of my systems have consisted of 2 or 3 gpu setups, and for the most part ive not had too many issues, probably the biggest pain was waiting on the eyefinity\crossfire\frame pacing driver to appear. Yes it was flakier in its early days, so was sli.

So far I've owned for multi card configs:

x1900xtx crossfire
3870x2 single and "quadfire"
2900xt 1 gig crossfire
4870x2
gtx 295 sli and quad sli
6970 crossfire
6970+6990 tri-crossfire
7990
290x reference and 290x vapor x
and currently a 295x2


Out of those configs the 2900xt crossfire gave me the most issues with performance, some games the performance tanked doing something as simple as turning around. 3870x2 i didn't see any point in the second card at all as it seemed to do virtually nothing. The 7990 was an utter turd of a card and for the most part it didn't reflect the reviews of the card at all, it ran much hotter and a ton noisier, why some site didn't take amd to task on that card using the retail boards i don't know as it seemed to be the rule rather than the exception that it ran hot and loud contrary to the "whisper quiet" review samples.

Was just on a another site and saw for one of their Titan X brands they have "1 due on April 7th" - great availability :). Of another brand they have 5 due on the same day which is a bit better

It is a bit strange but they're obviously doing it right because people are handing over the money. Nvidia have turned their GPUs into Beats headphones.

But as I say, people are buying them.

People have been saying that AMD are on the way out, some calling for it. Funny, I wonder how they would feel if every Nvidia GPU from Nvidia were in this price bracket?

There won't be a 980ti without AMD.

Nvidia are turning into a greedy rip off company. You know what peeved me the most about the Titan X? They even removed two LEDs to save about ten pence per card. No backplate either. A £1000 or there abouts GPU should have all of that and more, but removing the LEDs was downright mean.

They'll implode under their own arrogance and greed so I'll just LOL every time they bring out another failed Shield idea 'cause the Titan boys are paying for it.

/grumpiness mode off.
 
what will annoy the Nvidia fans is to see a much cheaper TX on sale only 2 months later..

the 12gb RAM is daft, because the TX will run out of grunt well before it needs the full 12gb..

the new TX is only 6gb.............. just as well, because if it was 8gb this would cause a flipping riot, it would be as bad as the 970 fiasco.. Nvidia would have two TX cards at 4K, except one of them will be 300 quid cheaper than the other :D

Amazing how everyone expected them to look like that lol

For £930 I expected them to look like that and be fully controllable with some software I really did.

Seriously who cares about the LEDs ?

We need MOAR power!

I do. If Nvidia want to make a boutique card then they should make it as they show it. Not cut things back and insert a cheap lump of chrome covered plastic into the logo.

They already cheapened the cooler by fitting it to lesser cards (the 770 for example) so the least they could do is make a £930 odd GPU look like a £930 GPU.

The 980ti or whatever it is will be lovely. 6gb VRAM same as the consoles, same power half the price.

Look don't get me wrong I actually came around on the original Titan. People scoffed at the VRAM - don't see the scoffing now. It had a one off cooler, now that's been cheapened and it had double precision so there was actually an excuse for the price.

But Titan X? 12gb vram. You're actually paying for that knowing full well it's totally mad. The double precision is gone leaving you with a £930 12gb gaming card that can't even do 4k alone.

£930. Really?

I was all but ready and willing to excuse the obscene price because at least it had some design behind it. Yeah I know, I'm really reaching when it comes to ten pence worth of LEDs but try as I might this card looks more and more stupid as the days pass. £930 and not even a back plate? LOL the stock 970 and 980 both have them.

More for less. At least the original had some redeeming qualities.

Is the cooler still metal? or has it been changed to plastic?

I'd care. For that money I'd want nice pretty LEDs , nice fancy backplate and all presented in a sexy box. Nvidea really know how to rip you off. This is probably why I've never had an iPhone either.
