Well that too but I think they most likely released this as a last ditch attempt to keep the performance crown. It's getting closer to Vega's release and they maybe they know by now that the flagship card will be ahead of the Titan X, so they've released this in an attempt to reduce the deficit between their flagship and AMD's flagship. Being on the top of the benchmarks is like a trophy for them.

Or you know they saw an opportunity to make even more money.

Madness... What a mad line up 10 series has become...
Nvidia has to be shaken by Vega am sure they know the truth on its performance too be releasing these so close to the Ti

To be fair they did this with the OG Titan family also. Cut down titan launched initially 780Ti came in and basically killed the OG Titan then the released the black with full cuda core count. Similar in this case though also, 1080Ti comes out and while it does not handily outperform the TX (original) does have faster memory / same cuda count and price kills off the current pascal titan in all regards. This will put it back on top handily for those who want the best. Also yields have likely improved so chips can be siphoned off into this card.
In a way they likely had these chips anyways with better yields and the quadro not needing them all, with the upgraded 1080Ti PCB, just shove the full chip onto that and charge an extra £500.

Nvidia know something about vega that we don't? Vega must be a monster
this new titan is barely 10% faster than 1080Ti, if Vega was faster than Ti Nvidia would have made this XP chip as the Ti, especialy with the price XP is at.
the more likely to me is :
1- AMD holds Vega card super tight, and Nvidia doesn't know much, so they are just tired of waiting, and their new line up is getting closer, so they just release what they have.
2- Nvidia knows Vega's performance, and it's not great, so nvidia goes ahead and release what they have to burry AMD behind in performance as much as they can. <--- most likely one, Nvidia wont give AMD a free marketing plot, by releasing a 1500$ card barely faster than 600$ vega., especialy after intel/ryzen debacle.

Why? Is this just not similar to what high-end car manufacturers do all the time by just releasing a slightly more powerful version of the same model.
AMD defence force.....assemble
No need to insult people!
But I doubt it. If people wnated a Titan they would have purchased the TXP1. The fact they purchased a 1080 and only then upgraded to the affordable 1080ti would indicate such buyers wouldn't purchase the TXP2.
the most likely buyers of the TXP2 are liekly people with a lot of money who already purchased the firs TXP1 They want the best of the best and don't worry about money.

Think about it. If FuryX crossfire is almost 1080ti level when crossfire scales properly, imagine if the same FuryX could clock to 1500MHz.
If VEGA is just double the performance of Fiji at the same clockspeed it would match a 1080Ti.
However with the new NCU architecture there are some major improvements.

Now add clockspeed of over 1500MHz to the equation and we have a seriously powerful card.
It's speculation and I doubt it will beat the new TitanXP but anything is possible.
It's Nvidia doing the insulting to the customers and they are rather good at it, drip feeding tech, oh wait MONEY.

Definately worth waiting to see what Vega has, these won't sell out.

RIP TXP users. Having been poled twice now
Suprised at this but kind of expected it to be honest.
However the last TXP was £1189, out of my price range. So god only knows how much this will cost.
£1159 free shipping though
