** TITANX **

Guess this forum isn't getting cleaned up at all.

Don't understand why people who have no interest in this spend so much time here.

There's no need to accept anything. Simply don't buy overpriced products. Even with only two competitors in the market the customer has a choice.

We do have a choice but sadly we might be seeing Nvidia doing an Apple here even more and going stronger year on year.

This is a worry I have. I have no problem with nvidia acting like a business but normal business rules don't seem to apply to Apple. I'd hate that trend to spead. A third player would nip it in the bud very quickly.

By accept I could be aiming that at certain users that apply freedom of choice to say I refuse to buy it, but then also get wound up by people that stand by the product and justify their purchase. If someone wants to by an overpriced product then that's fine by me and I have no right to tell them off about it

You have every right to acknowledge that they are dragging the price of the market upwards, which indirectly affects everyone who buys those products. Whether you choose to criticise them for it is for you to decide.

I was heavily involved in the original Titan thread and I honestly can't recall a single person there saying they bought the Titan for its DP performance. I will even check back through it when I get home, as I have nowt that I want to play at the no.

There were loads of people, all saying they were buying them for their shops as cheap Teslas, often in bulk.

People are raging at the new pricepoint that NV snuck in on the back of DP performance.

For the lols could you point out where I or others claimed that people on here said they bought it for DP performance?

I don't recall mentioning you once and I even quoted Orangey on it. What the hell is your problem? Carry on trolling and I will have to start reporting.

All this back and forward bickering about the titan x price, sure its a lot of loot. But, if you don't want to spend that much money, you don't have to. Slating those that did is pointless, it's their money to spend as they see fit.

AMD fanboy here but I still buy Nvidia cards no matter what.I just prefer AMD.

Nvidia is a company and they can charge whatever they want,they make good cards and when anyone complains, well it has nothing to do with Nvidia.
It is down to the consumer and if the consumer wants it,price is no object.

No need to slate people for it, but why ignore the wider issue that higher price points in the market are NOT good for the consumer? Even if you choose to pay the money.

Pixellated willies, swears, baiting (read the text below comic)... enjoy the holiday pal.

Even Dons have a sense of humour

Because I choose to do what I like with my money and what gives someone the right to tell me to stop? Some of the posts are shameful and I can't believe they never got deleted. There is a perfectly good thread where everyone can get their rage out but must it spill into every thread?

The price most are willing to pay is often based on their disposable income which is different for us all. Overpriced to one is perfectly acceptable to others.
ATM Titan X is the fastest single GPU available and as such to many seems a reasonable price

Well tbh that's upto customers to speak with their money and not buy it, prices will soon drop. Look at the titan z as an example. Price dropped like a stone. But for those who do want to spend theese amounts, that's upto them. I rarely buy new high end cards myself tbh, sli 780's from the members market for £560.00 was good enough for me.

It amazes me that so many people are comparing this card to a 295x2
The Titan x is still only a single core card and not a dual core like the 295x2

 

[Kaapstad]

Even at 4k and 8xmsaa you wouldn't need it and even 4 of them wouldn't provide a playable experience at such settings anyway.

Your lack of technical knowledge and practical experience is really showing lol.

@2160p on 4 Titan Xs using max settings you should be looking for about -

Crysis 3 = 70fps average and minimums of 60fps.

BF4 = 200fps average and minimums of 140fps providing the frame cap is turned off.

You have probably never even used 2160p and a 4 card setup so you don't know what to expect.

With the talk of overcharging and AMD being slow to react to nVidia's recently offerings, has anyone picked up nVidia stock? Given that these £800+ parts are selling well, and although it's not the only product nVidia offer, could be worth a punt!

We're a debt dependent society. How many people buying these cards do you reckon are paying outright in cash and how many do you think are sticking them on a credit card and storing problems for themselves later? People are weak when it comes to things they want, which is part of the reason why consumers have so much protection. It's hard to put up a strong argument that supports the notion that if people are willing to pay any price for something, no matter the hardship this might cause them, that this is a good thing.

Excellent news for Jen-Hsun's annual bonus and excellent news for the shareholders, but not necessarily good for the people buying the products.

Oh you can't, because I never claimed that at all. Read what I said and argue against that, rather than your usual style of making up something then disproving a question you made up yourself which are invariably easier to answer.

I said, quite simply, that Nvidia guys on here used it's semi professional DP capability to excuse it's high price and continually claim it wasn't aimed at gamers, again justifying the price. Regardless of what you think, that isn't the same thing.

It's worse when you think about it, effectively they are saying this card isn't aimed at gamers, is priced to be a home compute card, so I know it's not aimed at me but I'm going to overpay for a feature I acknowledge is both the reason the card is so expensive and that I don't want to use. Nvidia happily sold DP performance reduced 780ti's that were faster and used an identical core for significantly less money and still made a large profit.

Nvidia users paying extra for a specific feature they know they won't use. Genius, almost as smart as paying for 12GB of memory and the extra profit they'll sneak in with that memory(ie £50 for the memory, increase the price £150) when no one will use it. Even at 4k and 8xmsaa you wouldn't need it and even 4 of them wouldn't provide a playable experience at such settings anyway.

Nvidia, selling you a feature you absolutely won't use, but making more profit by doing it. Nvidia users, acknowledging they are paying more for a feature and also somehow being proud to point out they never needed said feature(in the case of certain Nvidia users now claiming DP performance wasn't important, yet paying more because of it).

VRAM a feature you absolutely won't use. What. So any card with more VRAM than what is currently required, ergo 8GB Sapphire Vapor-X and charging £100 more.

You are seriously transparent, why don't you go punch a pillow or something. I'll wait another 6 hours for your 5th angle on why not to buy an NVIDIA halo product.

Both of mine were paid with a debit card. So that blows that out of the window. Will you be wanting to see peoples credit rating next?
