What a joke on pricing. Now that the double dp advantage is gone theres no reason to get this
Titan were never meant to be justifiable for any value for money.
Everything now that is associate with NV has to come with a price premium, that include G-synch (we know that G synch monitor has a extra $100 price tag as well), hence if u really want something that is worth your money, AMD is the one.
Anyway for those who bought the titan (or the audience that Titan were targeting at), this people never care about how fast their card depreciate, nor do they care about what is true performance gain, as long as it is currently fastest in the planet, they will spent everything to get it.
Look over to Overclocker.net, despite having a $280 USD extra price tag, they instantly pre-order 2-4 of them (Not just a few but ALOT of the people there) on the first day of the Titan X launch. To them spending 5K USD on 4 GPUs were never an issue, and even if after a few month it depreciate to only half the value, they will not regret.
This are the people that NV is targeting at for their Titans. I wont be surprised if 390X is out and is faster than Titan X and yet NV will still not lower their Titan price, and even if they did, it wont be as cheap as 390X either.
If you are an Nvidia fan but don't want to spent ur kidney for their Titan, the card u should look out for will be the cut down GM200. That is the real gaming card that is design to compete with AMD's 300 series. Who knows if AMD did well, that GTX 980 Ti might just be 5% slower than Titan X and yet it is only as expensive as current GTX 980. That will be the real value for money card from the Green camp.
The GM200 cut down GPU has at least 2560 Cores, if NV decide to clock them similar to GTX 980 speed or faster, you are looking at 25-30% more performance. That is very very close to the Titan which is currently leading GTX 980 at only ~35% performance. So yep, this is the card alot of high end gamer are looking out for. With its 6GB (which is more than enough for even 4K), it will definitely be price competitively.
