I'm going for £650-675 on launch, Titan X pricing holding firm.

780Ti launch price was $699, that's all I'm saying...

Nvidia's pricing, plus launch gouging, plus compensating for the number of times I've got my hopes up on pricing... I think that's about right. 
NV's view will be: "You want it, buy it. Or for a few pesos more buy a Titan".

Ahhhhhhhh gouging was sooooooo so sweet in the old days. Made a mint
Lots of people have caught on now though, the retailers can't get away with it as much anymore

I hope not. If that happend, apart from being a gimped/crippled card, in what way would the 980 TI differentiate itself from a Titan X? It that does not justify having a plutocrat's price tag on it. Titan X is a niche product.
That would be like 900-1000 euros, damn. At that price point people may as well pay a few cents extra and go for the Titan X.
The 980 TI is supposed to be more consumer friendly, like the 780 TI. So we poor peasants can actually have a chance to purchase one.
Fact is 12GB is not necessary, in fact it's just there to take away from the fact you're only getting 33% performance over an 980 for £900.
£500 6GB 980ti is where the smart money goes.
In Xplane, especially with ultra HD textures, the more VRAM the better

Not long now...
Not that I'll be buying one, maybe a Classified if EVGA don't take several months with it.

Nvidia will send out a limited supply of GPUs to AIBs in batches and hold the price up for a good 1-1.5 months. Roughly 650 on reference cards and "premium" tax up to 750ish for aftermarket.
390X performance and pricing though might change this.

It *shouldn't* be any more than £500, but it *will be* from £650.
The 390x will cost one groat. You mark my words lads.

That's all well and good, but when can i actually buy it?
That will be sad to see Nvidia rinse any customers left who would have got the new 390X. Oh AMD... lol
Then AMD release cards with inflated prices "to seem premium" (genius) and then by end of the year end up with single digit market share

Looking forward to seeing the cards in action from both teams
