So you don't think if this launch is successful the companies will raise pricing across the board next round?

This is a great experiment, and so far it's likely going even better than nVidia thought it would. If I were them I'd release it at a cool grand.

If the prices gets to high...the units don't sell.
Read the link...you keep ignoring the consumer side of the equation.

It's not linear graphs...*wink-wink*

I cant wait to see the performance of this thing. Especially @ high resolutions against HD7970GE.
Even more, a pair of this running surround vs a pair of 7970GE. IMHO this GPU better wins in more than 20% this way or it will get named turd of the year.

A company won't release a product if people won't buy it!


Imho,

A company releases a product believing the market may command the MSRP asked -- doesn't mean the market will. There is incredible risk -- there were dozens of 3d companies at one time that released products that people didn't buy enough of.

nVidia's early history was troubled, one could use the word failure, but what they learned from it defined them; their thinking; their vision for the future.

So the +16K GK110's delivered in OCT 2012 is "nothing" now?
NVIDIA's cash cow (per unit) is their Tesla line.
Guess where a smart buisness ships the first units...when we are talking orders of thousands of units the most powerfull GPU ever.

You can't invent all the GPU's you want too and fiddle with numbers all you want too.

But the facts are:
Titan(GK110) is comming to the consumerspace and it's the most powerfull GPU ever.

And as always, with the king of the hill:
It's price will be irrelevant, the bulk of buyers will go for a lesser GPU anyways....it's performance is all that matters.

For the halo effect...and for actual buyers.

A little helpfull hint for you:

The buyers of Titan don't care about perf/price...perf/watt...or if it has a backplate or not or if raindears were shaved bald in the making of the GPU....it's all about "the powah!" ;)

LOL! I would totally buy that card!! /joking

Not just powerful...

The NVIDIA Tesla K20X is the one to beat in this regard. It offers 1.3 teraflops in a 235 watt package, — so 5.6 gigaflops/watt. Intel’s new “Knights Corner” Xeon Phi, the 5110P, delivers 1.011 teraflops with a TDP of 225 watts, which works out to 4.5 gigaflops/watt. The AMD FirePro S10000 card that sports two “Tahiti” GPUs, is rated at 1.48 teraflops. But the FirePro draws 375 watts, so its 3.9 gigaflops/watt is the actually the lowest of the bunch.

It's also the most efficient card, above Intel's Knight's Corner which easily beat out "Tahiti".

This is what people deserve if they buy such products. They decide with their actions (by spending money). A company won't release a product if people won't buy it.

Agreed. Out of all the people us Canadians should be the least surprised that most consumers tend to be irrational human beings, whose purchasing decisions are driven mostly by emotional desires for conspicuous consumption/keeping up with your friends/neighbours rather than logical ones. And if everyone around you is doing it, it seems perfectly normal to just accept being ripped off as the status quo since you feel that you have no choice anyway.

That's working out really well for the CDN real estate market.

What 3DVagabond is saying if PC enthusiasts really want $500 mid-range cards and $900-1000 high-end ones, so it will be. Just next time, people should skip the double standard complaints about AMD's high prices too, while keeping mum on NV raising prices in return. It's only fair.

Have a 690 I am satisfied.Very surprised nvidia has given slides with titan having only 10fps extra than gtx 680. Not better numbers to come than turd of the year at that scary price

Shaven bald Titan is good.

They are waiting to release the more optimistic numbers for Titan tomorrow.

Tx for the link parvadomus. Took a screenshot in case they take it down.

The market is the end-all-be-all, imho!

Wow, I'm surprised Tahiti has higher GFLOP ratings than the K20X. I would have expected this monster chip from Nvidia to have the higher values. But, of course all of this is on paper, with as much of a presence in the HPC world as Nvidia already has, I'm sure software is written to take advantage of their GPU's.

But it still shows how powerful Tahit could be, if you get close to those performance numbers anyway, I suppose.

That's going to run you at least $1000, an hour :whiste:

It's a dual gpu card, lol :)

Another turd comment, almost as comical as the ultimate memory re-write will give AMD the crown. ROFL
I hope a mod checks IP's from these brain surgeons.
