Personally I think everyone does what they want with their hard earned money. That said, it is a really bad investment to buy anything over $500, as in less than 24 months it will get completely outdated and lose most of it's value.

Some people want to drive 1440p@120+ or 4k@60. The 1070 can't reliably do that nowadays; the 1080ti can, being on average 50-75% faster

Call the dairy farms. This is ridiculous how much they are abusing their enthusiasts.

I was expecting a Titan version of Volta in the summer, but not this. They could have at least gone with A full P100 GPU with 16GB HBM2 memory like their top-end server cards. Nvidia is milking more and more. If they had given current Titan X (Pascal) owners a trade-in option to get the new Xp version cheap, I might have considered upgrading, but I guess that isn't Nvidia's philosophy. I'm leaning towards giving my money to AMD for the next GPU upgrade more and more, provided they can finally deliver in the high-end performance segment again without charging ridiculous prices. Then again, my next GPU upgrade is likely quite a while away anyhow, my current card is good enough for all games and software and also overclocks nicely. I don't see a reason to upgrade until the performance of new video cards roughly doubles that of my current one. I wonder if we could use the Titan Xp BIOS on the Titan X, though.

Nvidia should offer a trade-up promo for people that bought the 2016 Titan X cards. I kinda had a feeling a fully enabled part was coming as they have gotten yields up on the Pascal chips now. I just didn't expect them to do a refresh on the Titan so soon.

Enough of Pascal...Bring on Volta! Seriously though...enough of Pascal. It just ran out of juice. This is its Swan Song.

This launch makes me think Volta may be closer than we thought. Maybe we will see GV104 GPU's in December. That would be nice.

Volta won't be out till March or so next year.

I honestly feel like Nvidia is trolling the enthusiast who buy these cards.

they will keep on milking as long as then have a phat fan base, so keep feeding them money, there next line up will be the same it will (guessing) 2080 beats titanXp 1080ti by 150% more gain everyone gos OMG must have get it new titan comes out new Ti comes out and titan that beats the Ti, so as long as everyone keeps being the cow nvidia will milk you 😀

This was PCGH.de's April fools joke last weekend...just with a $/€3k price tag. Wonder how much they knew LOL. Pure, uncut Pascal...

People who can afford those monitors can afford 1080Ti no problem. Buying a Titan is just stupid IMO, it's better to buy two 1080Ti.

Having no competition and the demand being there, they can do whatever they like.

As long as costumers have a philosophy of buying the best without considering price, they can raise the price all they want. I always go for price/performance and generally they last 3 to 4 years.

Still no real competition. You can have good, better, best, bester... or you can settle with the less expensive option.

GO GO crazy people buy it so they keep drive prices up xD

So they should take AmD's approach and just overclock the current generation cards by 6% and call it next gen?

Cool card but absurd price again.. They could have at least dropped regular TX to $999 and TXP to $1199

You'd be better off buying vintage consoles to play games on, at least they go up in value lel.

Titan threads are the best 😀

The problem is, once again, that users here are looking at this from the use case of a gamer only. Titan falls in between. If you don't want to get burned in x number of months by cheaper stuff, it's simple - don't buy it. http://www.thinkmate.com/systems/servers/gpx/titan-x This is what these companies are looking at. They'll purchase 20-30 of these servers at a fraction of the cost of a Tesla system. The $600 is meaningless in that context. Also without knowing the actual yield % of a full GP102 the idea of Nvidia "milking" something is kind of meaningless. If they only get one or two full GP102s (which is obviously really low yield) out of a single wafer then what do you expect them to price it at? How do you know they aren't subsidizing the cost of 1080Ti's with the pricing of GP102 (P6000's/Titan X's)? A lot of people are making a lot of assumptions with literally no data or context for anything. What I find even more amusing is people who say that GPU's pricing is getting too expensive. 90%+ of steam gamers are running at 1080p. 1060/RX480 can play almost, if not all games currently out at 1080@60fps for $200-250. Last generation that same level of performance cost $500. For the vast majority of gamers the price to play at the highest settings with great performance halved in the last two years.

Lol I hate them. It's a bunch of people complaining about pricing of something that they never intended to buy anyway. Nvidia should just rebrand it "Tesla Titan" or something and stop selling them to consumers.

"Anyway that didnt take long, guess they're a bit scared of Vega 😛" To me this looks more like they are not scared of Vega at all.

Milking only works, when there is a cow (goat/sheep etc) around... and so far, i haven't seen ppl being forced at gunpoint to buy (certain) hardware.

Current Titans in no way shape or form have anything to do with Teslas. These are glorified 1080Tis and have no extra special instructions or functionalities over said Ti. At least old kepler Titans were compute monsters with double precision.
