Please tell me that this won't be used just for gaming? You will utilise its power some other way? Seems a waste just for a small gaming bump!
 
Amazing how so many people got duped into buying a deep machine learning card to play their games with, nvidia marketing deserves a raise. They might start slapping their Titan brand on all their other hardware.

End of the day its (currently) the best performing card out there for gaming and I suspect it will see around 10-15% performance gains from driver improvements as well. If people have deep pockets and absolutely must have the single fastest card then it is what it is.

Aslong as there is either a card that has a significant proportion of the performance for a more reasonable price or its ridiculously high performing for the price I'm happy either way.

Why have you assumed they have been duped. I imagine they have enough money, its their hobby and they know exactly what they are doing.

i would be all over this if it was regular titan price ie 1000 or may be 1200 :(

Many would be. The 12GB of HBM2 alone probably adds a chunk to the manufacturing costs, and then there's the extra compute performance, tensor cores. £1200 would never have happened.
There's probably many trying to justify buying, including me, ie "what if I put it to use mining" :p.

Looks like my core tops out at 1900 MHz. Just constantly pinging at the power roof with +120% power limit. Time to work on memory and then onto benches.

Try undervolting it maybe.
My 1080 FE is doing 1900mhz at 0.9v hitting max 80% power limit. Didn’t even try to push it further.
 
It'll take some actual good games to come out in 2018 that require the horsepower for 4k for me to spend anywhere close to even 1080ti pricing again nevermind into the thousands. Using a 1080 at the moment at 4k and for all the games I'm currently playing it's still overkill, even PUBG that has a lot of optimisation complaints hasn't been a problem, regularly get down to the final few with a few wins here and there.

It's really not down to how much. It's how much you're paying for a given thing. There are two sides, and they are exactly this:

1) It's down to a given individual what they spend their money on

2) What a given individual spends their money on can often be reckless and irrational

If NVIDIA go unchallenged for too long, yer £1200 will get you a low to midrange card :p

I am starting to think more and more that this Titan V will be the first and last Volta card capable of gaming and the next range of NVidia gaming cards will be on an entirely different architecture at price points we are more used to.

Even in the driver downloads NVidia list the Titan V as a 10 series card rather than something from a new family of cards. This could be a big hint that there won't be any more Volta gaming cards.
 
I'm with you Kaap, Volta is clearly too expensive to produce given what we've seen here. It's not so much that I personally have a problem with the price of this card, because it's clear how NVIDIA have positioned it.

I've indulged in every Titan on the basis of the performance, and acknoweldged the early adopters put downs. This time I honestly feel people buying these at the price NVIDIA are asking simply to game are pushing the envelope too far. I stopped myself at cart last week. Having more disposable income than the next enthusiast doesn't mean you're exempt from looking daft when you throw money away. Otherwise when does one draw a line.
 
I don't think we will see hbm2 on consumer grade Volta cards. The cost to perf factor in that region is just not there/required yet.

Not to mention this is not a gaming card and we will likely see lesser cores/faster speed on the gaming variants.

Volta arch and GDDR6 is my guess.

Nice card the Titan V but not at the price it is. Especially in 5-6 months when we will get the old "faster than Titan V" regime, then your left with a card now worth half a bag of soggy crisps.
