Main point being you can say its expensive, which it is, but you cant really state for a fact its overpriced as nobody knows the costs involved.
They probably wanted the 295x2 to be a value proposition at half the price of the poorer performing Titan Z l0l!
Funny the green team can charge an arm and a leg but when AMD charges half and performs better they get called out.

Titan Z was priced that way to stop customers seeing it as a good alternative to a tesla k20.
Nvidia made a mistake with the titan they corrected it on the X. Business is what it is and given the fact we sell out pretty much every day People don't seem to mind.

Yes DP the main selling point of the original Titan on here
I can get DP running on all my GPUs
The 290Xs are the best at it as the flesh tones are very good.......

May be yes, may be no...but it was certainly the main reason used here for justifying the high price, as people kept saying it was meant for people that want the compute performance without the need of the support, thus they are bargin comparing to the tessa cardsYes DP the main selling point of the original Titan on here

When I bought the original Titans my main criteria was out and out speed, I am not even sure I knew what DP was then.
I think most of the guys on these forums who bought the cards did so for the same reason as me.

Yes I recall you being being quite open about you bought it for the gaming performance without beating around the bushes

One of the biggest selling points for the original Titan was the GTX 680, it really was poor and the Titan put it to shame.
At least the HD 7970 put up a bit more fight.

A lot of people were going on how overpriced the HD7970 cards were though!!
They probably did a bit better longterm I suspect than the GTX680.

I gave away a couple of old PCs with HD 7970s in them to people at work for their kids to game on and they have been very happy with the performance.
I would never want to do the same with GK 104 based PCs as the performance is not there.
With hindsight the winner was the HD7970s.

Agreed 7970's were / still are (280X) good cards.
Wander if we will see a third re-branding for the 3XX series. If they became the 370X I guess that would be ok if priced right.

I still remember people insisted the extra 1GB of the 7950/7970 comparing to the 2GB 670/680 offer no benefit, with the textbook responds of "by the time that games use more than 2GB of vram, there wouldn't be enough GPU grunt on those card".
Fast forward to today...crossfire 7950 or 7970 3GB still do quite alright, while SLI 670/680 or GTX690 have reached the point of getting choked by their 2GB vram...
