A true masterpiece performance-price-looks-wise.

TLD LARS:

Can a "project" be split up on multible individual GPU´es, because you can buy 4 Vega cards for that price, in allot of workloads they should kick Titan behind. The power and heat could be a problem though.
That's impossible.

On other hand Vega isn't too powerfull and is for gaming... Also on Windows it is 2 GPU (anyway 4 GPU were performing bad in game most of the time).
DARKSF:

Not sure about the deep learning but it is definitely born for deep pockets. Well I'll go get a real BMW for this money rather than the GPU to play.
Titan was originaly half pro... and so it's the price.

Still have less cores than Titan V. Btw, can we call it Titan R? :P

At first i was like another titan who cares but i see who this card is geared for. It has 24gb vram so its clear to me a budget card for someone interested in a quadro

I think I'll take that 1000$ difference and I'll buy a top end air hockey table instead. Loads more fun.

Remember when original Titan launched at $1000 and everyone was shocked? Now 2080Ti is $1300-1400 and many consider it to be a good deal compared to the new $2500 Titan. Nvidia is so good at moving goalposts and setting a new normal.

With original Titan they wasn't knowing if there is a market for this kind of card, half pro and half gamer. Since the Titan V they put the Titan brand less for gamer, as the result in game and the price show, and more as a "deep learning" card (despite you can use it as "normal" pro card). Then the price is more for Pro user and it's not too expensive. Exemple: to work i have 16 000 Euro of GPU by station (small structure), to get benefit they have to made income over than 340 Euro by month for 4 years, and they permit to do more than twice... 16 000 is huge for personal use, but for a company it's peanuts.

I see people keep spinning this angle and making excuses for Nvidia, but why is 2080Ti 1400 Euro then? It's a gamer card. Will you still be defending Nvidia when 3080Ti is 2000 Euro and Titan is 3500 Euro? 4080Ti 2500 Euro and Titan 4500 Euro?

This is another problem... Why my keyboard cost 80 Euro with Cherry Brown switch and Gamer similar one cost 170 Euro with erzat mecanical switch? The one for Gamer have RGB led and would sale whatever the price is 🙂 (but people change their mind little by little... lol) The only reason (and i would do the same if i was in their place) is: why do cheaper if people buy it anyway? (Also company like Amazon put in the brain of consumer that if there is less it should be more expensive... wake up 🙂 )

It's always the same problem: How many cards can they sell at which price? At some point they will see they earn equal amounts of money with selling many cheaper cards, or fewer high priced stuff. The question is not why does it cost so much, but why are people buying those keyboards for double the price just because they have RGB? http://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Competitive_markets/Market_equilibrium.html

You can simultaneously hold the position that the Titan is priced fine while the 2080Ti is overpriced - those two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. Competitors to the Titan like the U200, various Intel Stratix FPGAs, Instinct accelerators are upwards of $6000+ - if you're just dabbling in machine learning, doing relatively low level 3D graphics design, or relatively simple math analysis, the Titan pricepoint is excellent and it has the added benefit of being able to play games. If you want to run 6 GPU's/Accelerators in a cluster for $100K+ then you would go Xilinx/Intel/Instinct or Nvidia Tesla boards. Titan is for everyone who can't afford that.

$2500 two and a half grand, Are nVidia taking the piss. what is the size of the silicon on the board 14mile squared. The card barely costs them a fraction of the asking price. But you know why they get away with charging the consumers so much. Because for some reason people keeping buying them. My advice to everyone is DON'T BUY ANYTHING NVIDIA TILL THEY START CHARING FAIR PRICES AGAIN This will help everyone out.

People keep buying them because an Instinct MI25 is $7400. https://www.cdw.com/product/amd-radeon-instinct-mi25-gpu-computing-processor-radeon-instinct-mi25/4903242 Titan has scalability limitations but it also has displayout, can play games, has faster performance, uses less power, is more than half the price, and has a massive ecosystem of CUDA applications/libraries. You guys keep looking at this like it's a gaming card - it's not - its not even branded Geforce anymore.

please look at the history of graphics cards and try and remember the history if your old enough to do so. Also I recommend any Nvidia fan watch AdoredTV's video on Nvidia's history Youtube his "AdoredTV Nvidia Anti Competitive Anti Consumer Anti Technology" Video (Side note Guru3D use AdoredTV for alot of their news stories) Also just to point out to Denial I never said AMD don't take the piss ether, They where once sued for colluding with Nvidia too raise the image and price of each of their components to the value of Intel's. Nvidia initiated this and both parties were sued AMD had to pay the remainder of the fine. [youtube=H0L3OTZ13Os]

I never said Nvidia doesn't screw customers, nor have I said that about AMD. I'm saying the Titan's pricepoint is justified considering all major brands (Intel/Xilinx/AMD/Nvidia/Etc) price their entry level professional cards several times higher than this. The Titan comes with limitations - it definitely fills a weird niche because of those limitations - but the price reflects that. It's a third the cost of a U200 accelerator and does more.. aside from scaling. Also Nvidia/AMD/Intel/etc all employ a huge amount of software engineers that work on deep learning libraries/datacenter integration/professional support/etc - those costs are reflected in the GPU pricing. Nvidia's increased it's employee count by 25% in the last two years and doubled it's R&D budget in the same amount of time - it's not like they are just hoarding all this money. As for Adored - I don't care for his videos. He's wrong about 90% of the stuff he speculates and all he does is summarize other sites and run wild with assumptions.
