I had been reading when that caught my eye... After reading the performance, I can safely say that if that is the real performance of the card its going to be a nice step up (finally). I really want to see them in some games as that is going to be some serious performance if it all maps out!

If they want $1,000 for this Titan like the last one then it's not for me. Maybe they won't this time since it's rumored to not be great for compute like the Kepler Titan but then I look at that 12 GB VRAM and know that Nvidia is going to stick it to it's customers for that alone. We'll see.

And you know this how exactly?Anyway, score for 4-way is heavily CPU bound as 980Ti x4 on water can score upwards of 26Ksingle card result is ok ish.Physics score is certainly not X99 so hard to tell properly or at least clock speed is low.980 at 1.65GHz can match this score. If this is Windows8.1 then understandable as that is slower in this benchmark than Windows7From the specs had expected about 8.5K or a little more from the card. but only time will tell.

I can never figure out all the complaints from people about the price of these cards. Obviously Nvidia knows what its doing, that's why it has twice the market share that AMD does. The high price of cards like these benefits even those who aren't buying this card. It adds money for Nvidia to reinvest on a better performing next architecture, which means for those of us buying the GTX 760/960 or 770/970s, we'll probably see some of the technology passed down.

It's the same thing as cars like the Ford GT or Nissan GT-R, can sit there and complain all day long about the price but the fact is, if you are complaining about the price of it you probably can't afford it even without the markup, so why complain or even care about the price? The point is it's a halo product designed to draw attention to the series and get high end buyers to come to the product line and pump money into it. Both Intel and Nvidia do this to AMD on CPU and GPU side, and I'm sure AMD is trying to figure out how it can do this as well.
