GeForce Titan coming end of February

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Oh geez, get over yourself. How many boards are you going to preach about what people are allowed to buy? It is possible to both save money, and spend some *Gasp*.

I wish I was a high roller. I can't "afford" to blow a grand on a single video card. I work hard for my piddly little paychecks.
Especially when my lightly used 6870 for $85 gives a lot of fun and it didn't cost much more than a dinner and a movie.

By all means though I give my approval to all those making 200k+ yearly that they can afford a $1000 video card.

 

[JM Popaleetus]

I see a lot of haters having SLI 680's, and one having SLI 690's.

It seems hypocritical to me. You're spending $1000 for the power of two 680s. How is it absurd for someone to want to spend $1000 for near-680 SLI performance but only want to use a single card using less space/power.

And before you throw "Only 30% better!" at me, none of us have seen any real benchmarks yet. And even if it's only 30% better, there will always be someone who wants the best of the best.

Again, simple economics will determine if this card is priced right. Either way, what do you all care, none of you are buying it.

EDIT: In fact, these were the exact same arguments given against the 690. And guess what, that sold just fine. It still is commonly sold out at NewEgg.

 

[SirPauly]

What part of this is consumer level? In fact, it's original source is a supercomputer.

The card you're looking for the the GTX 680.

The Gk-104 brings in compute revenue as well.

 

[Lonbjerg]

If the price is too high it will come down...people apparently keep on insiting living in the "bubble"...and think that Titan's price is static...or misguided.

I'm quite sure NVIDIA knew EXACTLY what they did, when they set the MSRP.

And I guessing that 12/13 SMX GK110's will follow later...or some other from of cut down version.

If AMD isn't planning anything major for 2013, NVIDIA won't sit still.
They are an agressive company by anyone standards.

Shhhhh. Nobody else here seems to have taken Econ 101.

Moreover, they all know better than a company pushing $4b in revenue.

That said, I agree that this card should be priced at $800 to differentiate it from the 690. But I'm not going to pretend I know more than nVidia. The market will decide who's right in the end.

 

[wand3r3r]

The 690 managed to sell just fine.

What are the sales numbers on the 690?

 

[JM Popaleetus]

What are the sales numbers on the 690?

Enough where they haven't lowered its price or discontinued it after a year. Plus, it still sells-out at NewEgg.

Just because it sells doesn't mean you have to be the idiot to buy it. I'd much rather see fellow Anandtech'ers buy a sensible card like the 670 or 7950 and not have to have a mortgage foreclosure or lose their vehicle down the road because of wasting their money frivolously.

Who are you to tell others how to spend their money?

I see you have an i7 and a 6970. Why did you spend your money frivolously like an idiot? An i5 and a 6950 would have been almost as good, and overclock to equal performance.

Imho,

Choice is always welcomed and no one is forcing anyone to buy it or consider the sku! nVidia's engineering prowess has placed them with this competitive opportunity and good for them and great for gamers and consumers that demand the very best and the latest-and-greatest!

However, the price performance has been evolutionary and incremental on a substantial and significant node; as this is another example considering pricing is set at the higher end and trickles down from there.

Premiums are part of the nature of the beast but to strongly defend them from a consumer point-of-view may not be!

 

[NTMBK]

Without knowing what Newegg's supply of 690s was like, that's meaningless. They could have sold 10 cards, or 10 million.

I bought my CPU used from a fellow member for a song and a dance. My 6870 was purchased used for $85. What was frivolous about those purchases?

And who are you to come in here towing the company(Nvidia) line? Why do you have any interest in promoting for the sake of Nvidia's wallet?

Damn, I guess Audi should lower the price of their R8 by $30k+ since a Corvette z06 is faster.

 

[NTMBK]

Oh good, it's car analogy time!

 

[Grooveriding]

Haha. Car analogies are starting.

Still frivolous, could have spent even less used for an i5 and a 6850.

I'm not towing anything. It's pathetic that ya'll are here arguing over a price (whether it be pro-AMD or not) when instead we could be discussing the engineering feat of putting over 2500 cores and 7.1b transistors on a chip the size of a quarter.

It's even more pathetic that you deem yourself worthy to tell others how to spend their money.

 

[rolodomo]

Shhhhh. Nobody else here seems to have taken Econ 101.

For someone who said price should not be the focus, you keep banging this drum. You are the one who should take Econ 101. The price set in a supply-constrained market has little to do with value determined in a normal market where supply can match demand and where market share can be gained by competitive pricing (moving the curve).

But I'm not going to pretend I know more than nVidia.

A little skepticism might do you some good however.

 

[thilanliyan]

Is Linus trading that baby for a Titan!

That baby is in awe of Titan/ lol

Baby: "Not wood screws AGAIN!!!"

If the card is priced too high. It won't sell and the price will drop or it will stop being produced.

It's simple as that.

Allow the market to decide and choice, premium choice is always welcomed!

More power to ya if you desire to strongly defend premiums though!

 

[Jaydip]

Choice time, 690 or Titan but Haswell is so far away

 

[rolodomo]

There you go folks, JM's Econ 101 that we should take...and so simple too.

 

[The Alias]

... Disgusting not to mention when did the 680 start getting 70ish fps in skyrim at 2560 4x msaa ?

It's pathetic to ignore the price!

You can be as snarky as you want. That doesn't change the fact.

nVidia is a business, that's publicly traded nonetheless. They're not going to purposely lose money unless this card is being designed as a loss-leader. Which it doesn't seem to be.
