You changed your mind?

That's a good one, telling people to just stop, in the same post as admitting you've had 16 Titans. There has only been 7 Titan's made including the Dual GPU Titan Z and the Volta Titan V. So either you've been very unlucky, or you were unable to take your own advice.
It's called SLI, you dumb fart.
Most people drew the line at Titan Xp or Titan V, as the owner threads showed (up until the mining phase).

Now that, is fair

Well the Titan V doesn't work in SLI so that is 6 cards, I will bet you never had two Titan Z in SLI, so that is 5 cards and you have had 16 of them, so that is pretty telling and you have the nerve to call me dumb.

I do hope we see a return of the clown blower. For good times sake.

Wccf saying $650 for the 2080 are we expecting that to be the same in pounds?

You're thinking way too hard about this, please stop trying to be quite so gnat like, it's not attractive.
4 Kepler, 3 Kepler Blacks, 3 Maxwell Titans, 3 Pascal Titan, 3 Pascal Xp (had these for all of 2 weeks but still counted) Back in your bru box. And despite your best efforts, it's not even the point. The point is the gradual tiering increase on pricing becoming the norm for halo products.

Couldn't agree more. It's obvious you have plenty of cash but there comes a time when enough is enough. Nvidia just keep shuffling the tiers up and AMD can adjust there prices as well. It won't end until people stop excepting the insane pricing.
I don't do insane prices. My last PC cost me around £1200 with a decent monitor and had a high end gpu. My new PC cost me £2400 with a 4k monitor and Vega 64. Granted there is 8 years between them as i could just upgrade a few things in between to stay pretty current. There is no way things should have doubled in price in that time and comparing the hardware i bought then as in gpu was better. Still looking forward to putting it together but i can't help feeling that this could be the last PC i put together in a gaming sense as it's getting out of hand. PC only games are no longer pushing the boundaries like they used to Graphics wise to where games like GOW have me thinking i play on the wrong system.

Lol. Did he not buy the 1080 just a couple of months ago? As I recall he had to buy it in June and could not wait until July as he had some bills he had to pay in July or something, which made no sense to anyone?

I posted on another site that it was rubbish when Jensen said "A long time" for new cards, i got many downvotes.. but of course people will believe anything they are told.Lol.

I’ll buy or not buy anything I like. ** Be nice to each other - EVH **

Well if your point was to try to moan about the increasing price of halo products, it might help if people didn't buy so many of them. Looks at the list in your post.
I did stop, the moment they tried charging over twice the price.
Was probably taken out of context like everything is these days.
Problem is, this isn't my only hobby and £2,500-3k for a GPU for gaming is just utterly insane. Even with all things being relative, nothing can justify that price. Unless you genuinely need the compute capability and then you can usually scrub the VAT.

As has been pointed out a hundred times before, there are numerous reasons why AMD need to have a strong high-end and non of the reason are sales figures.
The most important is brand image and marketing. AMD already suffer form poor brand image, we already see in every benchmark a stack of greens cards on top, and Nvidia winning the speed crown year, after year after year.
There is also the fact that designing a high end part should be no more expensive long term than a mid-range part. The fab costs yes, design no. The architectural design that makes a large chip powerful and efficient scale down to smaller chips. Any work in helping scale upwards and remove bottlenecks are applicable to the mid-range in the next generation. This generations high end is next generations mid-range, the R&D is not lost.
What AMD shoudln't be doing is designing GPUS that have to use expensive and hard to source memory that can't scale down wards. AMD also need to focus on current and up and coming game engine design that developers are actually utilising, not trying to force developers to code around their architectural benefits and weaknesses. Nvidia is very clever in understand the game engine landscape for the next 5 years, and they know the constraints of developers. Nvidia caters to the developers resources by working around all the issues that DX 11 has and made ad incredible advanced front-end and driver setup. AMD simply hope developers use DX12, without any incentives and no support.

The RX 20180 better be 45% faster then my 1070 for the silly money NV will charge+VAT+because we can
