Not really... it's usually in stock and there are plenty of Titans selling at MSRP or _below_ on eBay. So if you really want on they are easy to get.

Did a quick website search. Are we using an MSRP of $1000? If so, 0 for sale @ MSRP (as in "Buy It Now") on eBay. 0 in stock at Newegg. Amazon has a few from 3rd party sellers, all over MSRP though. TigerDirect doesn't seem to sell it. SuperBiiz has the Asus "In Stock", but when you click it the price changes to "Request a Quote". Never seen that before. NCIX US shows 2 "In Stock", but when I check the stock on the Asus it says 0 on hand. There are, however, 3 Zotac on hand. :thumbsup:

Wow are you getting pretty desperate to claim titanic is "sold out"?

The MSRP is more on certain models. EVGA is selling their own cards for MSRP.

*Titan-ic only due to price.

I just love proving people wrong.

Success. :awe:

Edit - I forgot to check EVGA's own store! They have 1 model in stock. Woohoo I found another one!

What are you saying with the 47?

I'm pretty sure he added up the number of reviews. Because that is how we tell how many of a product has sold now...

Check completed listings. 8 cards sold below MSRP on the first page alone.

If demand was high these cards would NOT be going for under $1k on eBay. I remember when the 5870s were first released, people sold them for almost a $200 markup due to low stock. That is not happening with the Titan.

If I were in the market to buy a Titan, why would I check completed listings?

No doubt, but rather ask yourself this: Who PROFIT the most out of 7970 and Titan? Who have the best margin? 😉

Ask yourself this: Why are you GLOATING that Nvidia is supposedly making so much profit per Titan sold? How does that help us, the end consumer?

To get an idea of what they're selling for?

Under 1k makes sense, who would pay MSRP and want a premier product with no warranty? That's insane.

Uh, you don't forfeit warranty when buying used, unless the seller is trying to screw you and doesn't include a copy of the invoice.

The point is that no Titans would be selling below $1k, even used, if demand was as high as some people claim.

Really? Do all manufacturers do this with GPUs specifically? I am surprised. The rest of the electronics industry doesn't support transferable warranties. Got any fine print to back that up?

That's really the real question. The constant moving of goal posts just to start a fanboy circlejerk is something else. The sad thing is most of these people aren't even paid for it, they just don't have anything else in their lives.

Wrong. Only sellers care what things sold for on eBay. Buyers will look at what is available.

I always check completed listings before buying something. I'm pretty sure others do as well. I had a guy who wouldn't offer me over $400 for my laptop because that's what the last few auctions went for.

eVGA supports transferable warranties. Most other GPU manufactures just go by the serial number on the card and provided you have a copy of the original invoice you're fine.

That's fine it's purchased in a store, where there is no customer name on the invoice. What you are talking about is avoiding the warranty terms of service in the case where the manufacturer is unable to proof the identity of the original purchaser.

But any online invoice will show who the item was sold to. With more and more people buying online, the ONLY invoice is the online invoice. In that case, used buyer is SOL.

As far as evga, according to their current terms of service:

The EVGA warranty is non-transferable. Products purchased second hand, from a non-authorized seller, or from an auction site do not carry any warranty.

Again, I'd like to see fine print of any GPU company that provides warranty service to second hand owners.
 
It's completely different in the EU, warranty is for the product as it should be, doesn't matter who makes the RMA request. I find non-transferable warranties silly and anti-consumer.

In my experience they don't care who it was sold to, only that you have the original invoice.

I have RMA'd used items that were purchased online before with no issue... not eVGA, but ASUS and Gigabyte.

I don't think anyone would buy used if these companies were that stringent on verifying the customer identity.
 
I want a titan to replace my gtx 480 sli setup. I'd take a single powerful card any day over a sli setup. I want one with the water block already installed aka evga hydroblock version.

I am happy to see Nvidia make a lot of profit per Titan sold. Why? I own a bunch of Nvidia stock, and if you own any mutual funds or ETFs as part of your retirement, I wouldn't be surprised if many people here indirectly did, too.

Corporate profits are good. They lead to further growth in the industries that we care about, which leads to jobs and innovation. Welcome to capitalism. If you want a $200 graphics card, you can buy one. If you want a $300 graphics card, you can buy one of those too. And if you've got the pockets for a $1,000 one, Nvidia will sell you one (and AMD will be, soon, with the 7990).

Now, non-investors should also be happy because as long as these high end cards are selling, the companies will continue to make high end cards. You seriously wouldn't want to have integrated graphics only, would you?

Is is confirmed that it will cost 1000$? For 800$ I might bite, but 1000$ is too much. I wish it would be like 6990 which cost much less then 2x6970.
 
No,there's no confirmation of that kind of price but hey...it's Intel17...🙄
Not exactly a non biased source of info on AMD now is he...

Why does it matter anyway? People have always the AMD cards to buy if the price tag on Nvidia cards scare you away.

I was only saying that Nvidia could make a hell lot of money on a high price tag since their profit is bigger, than AMD who maybe sell a ton of GPU x with very little profit.

There are people here who thinks its the other way around. That since the AMD GPUs are cheaper it also means that they make more money.

Just look at their financials:
Nvidia GPU Division revenue FY 2013: 3.25 billions - Source
AMD GPU Division 2012 (2013): 1.5 billions (added 400 million for last quarter) - Source


People think AMD make so much money on GPUs. They do profit from it, but they are not getting rich from it.
Q1 2012 GPU division net income: $34million
Q2 2012 GPU division net income: $31million
Q3 2012 GPU division net income: $18million
Q4 2012 GPU division net income: $22million

But just as an comparison, look at what the CPU division is doing. 😛

Q1 2012 CPU division net income: $124million
Q2 2012 CPU division net income: $82million
Q3 2012 CPU division net income: -$150million
Q4 2012 CPU division net income: -$323million
