Perhaps some of those buyers bought the card because atm is the fastest and its what they wanted and would have done so even if it wasnt called a titan, , Unless ofc you know of another single gpu out there atm that has the same performance for £200 less?

I had to read a fair bit of vitriol when I had the temerity to suggest that high top end prices are bad for all consumers. Blah blah not every one should be able to drive a Ferrari etc etc
+1
I bought my Titan well aware of the price, If i had felt ripped off i wouldn't have bought it, i wanted a single card solution for 1440p that would run anything i throw at it and i've got exactly that. I find it irrelevant that maybe a 980ti is around the corner, i mean welcome to the world of the latest technology.
No one that bought the Titan x is an idiot or somehow blinded by Nvidias PR and well aware that in 1,2,3+ months something might well come along and both be cheaper and out perform it, again welcome to the world of modern technology.
4gb of ram has been just great at 4k for me even at ultra........dead rising 3 was the only problem but performance at 4k wouldn't have been worth it even if I had this amount of power with 8gb a core on the 295x2.
6gb probably would be enough for all games at 4k even shadow of mordor ultra 4k because that will nicely fit just inside the 6gb without stutter just like it does at 4k on titan blacks. No other game needs more and we've seen all the next generation engines on pc now.

When the original Titan launched 6GB was not necessary, I guess it was just there to take away from the fact you were only getting 30% performance over a 680 for £900?
The situations is almost identical:
Titan: 3x the RAM of current flagship, costs £830+.
Titan X: 3x the RAM of current flagship, costs £860+
In fact it's actually cheaper if you account for inflation.

The problem as always is there suck on 28nm untill the end of the year there's only so much they squeese out of a old process. I think they better than expected job. If 20nm was'nt such a POS process I'm sure the GM200 would have ended up with many more shaders and kept DP.
GTX980 as a mid range flagship?
Yes, much like the 680 - Nvidia launch the 2/3 part first, which is rightly the flagship as it is the fastest single GPU, but then launch the full die part later.
Agreed

I'm up for this ....I'm leaning towards 980 and Gsync....but it all depends on price...gone are the days of my foolish tomfinkery when it comes to hardware....I mean I would feel slight miffed if I had just bought a Titan x and then a card comes out at half the cost with only 10 percent loss in performance....
Gonna follow a similair pattern myself, limit my spending this year to a new monitor and a gpu upgrade. A 980ti so far in theory sounds like an ideal replacement for my current cards.
