If you could just state your position without throwing in stuff like pathetic, and childishness, you'd be on the right path.
You seem to have a terrible memory. My position
was stated without those additives. Had I not been met with disrespect in the first place, I wouldn't have included them. Go bark up the correct tree.
So, you are saying that AMD releasing the 7970 at the same current price at the time as nVidia's previous generation 3gig flagship card is what's making nVidia almost double the price of the next generations flagship? Remember the 580 3gig was on the market at $550 when the 7970 was released. That was OK with people because that was the price of admission for the fastest GPU. While people admitted it was poor value, they accepted that is what it cost and that price and performance don't scale linearly.
It was okay with people because they were paying for a Nvidia card. AMD believing they could do the same, without Nvidia's fan club and brand reputation, was an error. AMD seemed to have forgotten that their reputation stemmed from providing affordable performance.
Then AMD did the unexpected and didn't try and be the price/perf champion. They went with the current market instead of blowing it out of the water. GK110 at $900 is not at all related. nVidia saw that they can sell a small die for $500 and are going to try and make the same margins on GK110. I wouldn't be surprised if this current leak is just to see peoples reaction. There appears to be plenty of people willing to pay it. Don't worry though, they'll release it at something less than that (at least in North America to capture all of the US headlines) and look like heroes. Just like they did with GK104.
And had the 7970 had not been sold with the same reasoning as the 680 (being able to sell a small die with huge margins), you wouldn't be seeing the 780 coming in as high.
The other, larger reason for the 780's price is going to be a lack of competition. Once again, this is the fault of AMD.
childishness? All I did was laugh at your statement and you called me pathetic. Teapot, meet Kettle
You clearly don't understand the meaning of that idiom.
"All I did was laugh at your statement." Yes, and the fact that you couldn't provide an intelligent response is, in fact, pathetic and childlike. Pointing that out does not make me one and the same.
He's assuming clocks of 732MHz as per the latest rumor.
What nobody seems to be grasping though is that a big kepler's architecture is more complex and powerful than little kepler. There's going to be a measure of performance uplift clock for clock and shader for shader.
What people are also failing to grasp is the fact that professional cards are clocked lower. 732MHz is the clock speed of the K20X, which is a professional card. It is with almost 100% certainty that the Titan will come in with higher clocks.
