Also, do we really believe that Nvidia would undercut the Titan XP so soon? 

The 980Ti was launched 2.5 months after a Titan X. So it's not exactly "soon". And it makes sense if they want to beat Vega to market.

Nvidia screwed the Titan X owners with the 980Ti. Oh, almost forgot the 780Ti. Hey, Nvidia is at it again.

 

If you assumption is correct. That means Vega might be able to beat 1080 with a good price/performance ratio. So Nvidia needs something faster than 1080, but without the Titan XP price tag.

If this is true, then Nvidia is seriously going to cannibalize BOTH the GTX 1080 and the Nvidia Titan X in one go, just for the 1000 series. Same thing with what they did with the GTX 980 and the GeForce GTX Titan X for the 900 series, and like what they did with the Titan Black and the GTX 780 with the 780 Ti in the 700 series.

 

Obviously, NVidia doesn't give a shit. That is their business strategy is to get everyone to buy the 1080, then the TITAN. Their #1 goal is to make money. That's now 3 generations they've done it. Obliterate the OG TITAN, TITAN XM and now TITAN XP. Release it first to get people who want and are willing to pay for the god card... then down the road, totally negate the TITAN card with its little brother the Ti variant. NVidia is in a position business wise to afford to do that, which is something AMD is not in a position financially to do. It doesn't have to make sense to you or I, it's a brilliant business strategy that pays off each and every time. At the same time, they have to release a product to compete with AMD's equivalent offering.

Nvidia didn't screw anybody with a Titan X. Anyone who bought the Titan X should have known a 980Ti was around the corner. You can argue the Titan, but anyone who has $1k to blow on a GPU doesn't care. And the Titan Black came out after the 780Ti. 

 

Or more likely, AMD will be priced similarly like they always are but Nvidia wants to beat them in performance, so 1080ti.

I remember there were many crying Titan X babies when 980Ti was announced. LOL

I mean, I just don't get it. The TITAN people should know there's a "better," cheaper variant eventually on the way. If they're willing to spend $1200 dollars on a card, they didn't have much sense to begin with anyway.  And honestly have no room to cry.

You are stepping on many people's tails. Be careful. LOL.

Although I hate that business practice, I will be the first to say (in this thread maybe?) that yes, Nvidia can afford to pull this bullshit from a financial standpoint. But to reiterate, with the x80 Ti cards being put squarely between the Titan series of GPU's and the x80 cards (pick 700, 900, and now 10 series, doesn't matter), they're effectively cannibalizing their sales of both of those line of cards, which means there's going to be a lot of those cards sitting on the shelves collecting dust.

I know there's a better option out there, but me being an enthusiast who loves "the best of the best", I still have plans to get two Nvidia Titan X's because aside from wanting that extreme overkill gaming e-peen, I also have a compelling usage case of GPU-based rendering, where the applications I use (3ds Max, Maya, and Blender) can actually leverage multiple compute devices to render out a scene. Now I will say that for those renderers, double-precision is totally irrelevant in that usage realm. The only realms I can think of where it does matter is scientific and medical research. Half-precision is for deep-learning (or if the deep-learning application can use FP64 instead).

It's they're own fault for being impatient.

Because people with more dollars than sense still buy them.

[SurvivorNVL]

I am going to wait for the RX490/newFury--and hopefully it'll be equal or better performance and cheaper, because I really want to get that Freesync 3840x1600 ultrawide.

[Rune]

Cool.

[Deletist_Jerk]

3 flagship launch every generation. Because 1 just isn't good enough anymore.

@asim1999 could you please remove the formatting of the text? People using the Dark Theme can't quite read it the way it is

 

Thank you

I absolutely hate reading comments when people complain about the cost of an item.

We get it, you're young and can't get your parents to buy it for you or you can't save money to afford something nice and then you come to online forums to bitch about the cost and how the people who work hard and buy nice things are stupid for spending the cash.

 

If you spent the time you do bitching online and put that effort into some IRL shit, you might just be able to afford that $1600 6950x

[VerticalDiscussions]

Gonna be a blast of a videocard. Performance difference from a Titan XP will be slimmed down (if not overlaped) with some crazy overclocking, where this one should allow for even more on air and water than the concurrent enemy!

Ti is a cut down version of Titan. They have same chip in them. Those chips which dont meet Titan criteria are reused and sold as Ti. (Jayz2cents talked about this in his latest tech talk).

 

January is super late for this release imo. 6 months later there will already be Volta....

Soon ? Its 7 months later which is 4 months later than 980ti was released after maxwell Titan. So where is your surprise coming from if in the past it wasnt this late ? 

 

I just googled dates:

 

Titan XP 2 August 2016 - 1080ti January 2017

Titan XM 17 March 2015 - 980ti June 2015

I feel sorry for anyone that bought a Titan X. 

 

Why ?

Titan has always been the cutting edge card for a nonsense price just to be the best card out there. Tech gets outdated yearly in most industries, do u feel sorry for people who buy iPhone every year or any other flagship android phone ? 

 

1080ti wont outperform Titan, so i really dont see tge "sorry" part in this.

1080 -> Titan X -> 1080 Ti -> Titan X Black

You think it will be 700 800 dollars ? the titan x is 1200 dollars, the 1080 ti will be 1000 dollars probably.

Titan X - $1000

980Ti - $650 

Titan - $1000 

780 - $650

Titan Black - $1000

780Ti - $700 

 

So, $800 is about in-line with previous generations.

This is simply because AMD did not give any competition to Nvidia for the GTX1080.

Which for Nvidia its logical that they wanne cash on their non flagship GTX1080 as long as possible.

Thats why the GTX1080-Ti comes this late, simply because AMD is now teasing VEGA.

 

Basicly you could say its a smart move from AMD aswell.

Because this is basicly pretty akward for diehard Nvidia fans, who cannot afford a Titan.

I don't see how it's a smart move on AMD's part. Those diehard fans who can't afford a Titan will buy a 1080 or will wait for a 1080Ti. So Nvidia makes a bit less money as buyers will either get the cheaper 1080 or wait for the cheaper 1080Ti -- that's not really AMD's goal (or it shouldn't be).
