Should GTX Titan's have come with a back plate from the factory?

[Golgatha]

SO...

I started a petition over on the EVGA Titan forums asking that Titan owners be provided with the functional and protective heat sink/back plate that is being produced. I feel that the cards were incomplete as shipped and owners should be provided or reimbursed for the purchase of the heat sink/back plate

I ask that any of you fellow owners and enthusiasts alike that agree please sign the petition.

I dunno about backplates, but it should come with a high airflow bracket FFS.

You realize that this card is created by nvidia completely correct? AIB producers do not modify Titan cards whatsoever other than putting their logo on it. So I wouldn't be quick to point the finger at EVGA, although.... backplates aren't that important to me as they're only aesthetic....and the bracket is easy to self modify.

Mostly certainly and a 20% off coupon on the next Nvidia flagship.

Screw that! I'm entitled and it should be no less than a 50% off coupon.

What if money were no object to you? Would you "settle" for that $380 card or would you want the best that was out?

I'm not saying that applies to me. I'm an average Joe with a wife, kid, mortgage and a couple of car payments. We do well and don't live paycheck to paycheck but that is about it. My computer hobby pays for it's self most of the time(at least that's what I tell my wife) and I like to have the best of the best.

You may have a ______ problem if you...

• Feel guilty or ashamed about your ______.
• Lie to others or hide your ______ habits.....

It ought to have a backplate. You shouldn't need to lie to your wife about your hobbies.

Umm, what are you trying to say? What I said was true. My computer hobby pays for it self most of the time. The part about my wife.. well, I was just implying that maybe I had to dig a little deeper to snag the Titan but hey, I can splurge once and a while right. It by no means hurt me to do so nor will I have to skimp anywhere to make up for it.

I think it's funny that you have to defend your personal life on the internet... or that it's even on there, in the first place.

Still, it is pretty hard to defend having 60+ video cards. Just saying.

I'm pretty sure it was tongue in cheek. I know I've messed with you before about your "problem". It's all in good fun.

Lol, my life is hardly on the Internet...

Sounds like some regret if people are upset about no backplate after buying the card.
