That's basically true, but it does become an antitrust issue when you're using a dominant market share to shut other players out. It wouldn't be the slightest bit surprising if true, it's nothing new for Intel and keeping their current market share and margins is well worth any plausible fine...
The original titan was a bit of a wake up call for nvidia I think - sales surprised everyone and really must have sparked discussion around just how much they could actually charge. Pricing atm is mainly due to AMD not having anything that competes with GP104/2 out yet - nvidia can and do tend...
I really cannot understand how anyone though this naming was a good idea. They've struggled with titan names past the first (titan black?) but this is on another level.
What's next, the new volta based nvidia gtx 1080, now x% faster than the geforce gtx 1080?
It's because the GPUs are different "sizes", not a single unit - GPUs are among other things a very large array of vector arithmetic units. The size of this array varies by GPU and the number of cores is of course very important for overall performance (it's really clockspeed x cores that...
It's just release cycles not lining up for AMD, the same thing has happened a couple times in a row now and looks to again. The big chip comes out first as titan at an absurd price then knocked down to slightly less insane levels as a x80 ti to compete with whatever big chip AMD brings out...
And yet we have this thread and much worse elsewhere with a significant number of people claiming things like pascal does preemption not async compute, that multiple render paths are now required despite the very titles being used as comparisons not doing that (should AotS or Doom have stuck...
I really cannot imagine how frustrating it must be for FM at the moment to respond to this sort of completely uninformed ranting. Anandtech just published a really good pascal architecture summary, go read that at least first and realize how wrong most of these comments are. Facts just don't...
I mean that's true but it's also pretty damning of every DX12 implementation so far as well isn't it? Who's doing distinct render paths for each architecture?
They're not at the founders edition MSRP either though in Aus, they're a good $100US higher or so. Typical Australia tax situation I think rather than directly related to the founders premium.
Because the fan issue is real but fixed and the 330mhz issue isn't a design flaw -it's the dual link dvi limit and overclocking is never guaranteed. The VIVE issue is pretty unfortunate if not fixable though.
Are you meaning to imply that AMD cards always pay for themselves via *coin mining but nvidia cards are completely useless for this? That might have been true with kepler and AMD does still have a notable lead in this area, but you're a little out of date here...
This is the right idea - the 780 ti and 980 ti only appeared when they needed to to derail AMD product launches. We'll see a titan card with insane pricing until AMD releases a competitive product, then a 1080 ti.
