1349.99 is out of my realm for a single card
I could probably pay it but I absolutely WILL NOT just on principle alone. Its such a overreaching and ridiculous price for a single gpu card that it begs to be ignored.
It's not the money that is the problem for me it's just seriously nvidia? 999.99 would have been fine but 1399.99? What's next? 3999.99 for the X2

What's next? 3999.99 for the X2 Exactly , and I wish more people were thinking that way. When I got my 3xTitan Black I need it for my work and I got the money back within 2 months, but even then I think that the prices Nvidia setting for their GPUs are way, wayyyy overpriced. Yes I have to admit and that's no lie, the idea of getting new Titans when they are out crossed my mind, but that's the one side of my brain, the other side tells me not to fall for the absurd manipulation of Nvidia tactic. When I got my Titans I also got extended warranty up to 10 years and no way I'm falling for that and just like Stay Puft sais, money it's not the issue in slightest way, but have some self respect and mostly use your head otherwise, this will be endless mickey mouse game. I can bet you, Jen-Hsun Huang is laughing at many of us, no doubt.

With the new capabilities coming out to allow additive VRAM between cards with Dx12, I wonder what the better performance/price ratio will end up being. $500 x 2 for 2 decent 6GB VRAM cards vs. $1350 for 1 card that has all the VRAM in 1 shot. Sure, 1 card may run slightly better/more efficient/less power but what will the end result be? +5 FPS and 50W less power consumption (slightly sarcastic, but kind of not). I agree with Stay Puft that the price is not an issue, but overcharging (and in the past not being truthful with specs) is an issue. You look at the difference between a 970 and a 980. At the end of the day, they both perform pretty poorly at 4K, SLI doesn't help (yet), and the difference is 3-5% on most games at 2x/4x DSR (AKA 2-3 FPS). The price difference is anywhere between $2-300 to achieve that.

That is a nice looking card!! Has anyone else said the price is ridiculous??  I'll stick with my 2 x 980 SC's. More Power... Less money... I game 1080, so I'll deal with the 4GB vram for the next couple of years.

Pricing has gotten absurd. There's a clear trend that cannot be ignored.
Mid-range Fermi = $250
High-end Fermi = $500
Mid-range Kepler = $500
High-end Kepler = $1000
Mid-range Maxwell = $550
High-end Maxwell = $1350?
Some people can see the ridiculousness in this. Others don't seem to care a bit. I just hope people actually think before buying and realize that the GPU market will change a lot by June and there will be other alternatives likely with similar performance at much, much lower prices.

Almost 2 years i bought into how 3GB+ of vram was a must the new consoles
set to release that fall(2013), so i bought the original Titan for $1050 or so.
Now i could have went with a $650 780TI at the time, but since then a few
cross platform games(ie..Bioshock Inf., Watchdogs..ect) have used up to
3.7GB of vRam in only 1080p.
So while that $1000 was a tough pill to swallow, i'm not regreting it as by time
the Titan X is released i will have used it for 2 years.
I will purchase the new Titan but not at $1350..lol, that's a bit too much. I'll spend
$900-$1000 in a heartbeat, however. Afterall, i'll be using it for 2 years, so the cost
is less then $10 per week.
Gaming is my main hobby and i'll need the extra vRam for 4K anyway, as i shyed away
from the 970/980's due to the lower 4GB of vRam.
But i'd only do so if there is a 50% increase of performance over the 980.
Now if Nvidia would release a 6 or 8GB model of the 980(or 980TI) i'd seriously think
about an sli config. But even then i'd prefer still try to get by using one single GPU.

I would do this but it seems 4GB of vram is already outdated. Console ports seem to have made getting ahead of the vram curve more difficult than in the past. Also I'm planning on buying 2 of these things which will destroy 2 x 980s. I'm planning on buying the Acer 1440p 144hz IPS monitor once its released, so I know 144hz at that resolution is going to take a lot of firepower to drive. If they annouced a Titan-X-lite with 6GB vram I'd probably buy those instead, but they probably won't for months and months and that's too long for my taste. Plus that card - if it ends up existing at all - might have gimped performance in addition to less vram. So my wallet bends over and waits for the no-lube hit from behind.

Hopefully the rumor is outdated and these are very little to no more than the price of the titan black upon release.

I don't know that I would say 4GB VRAM is outdated, but it is definitely a little lacking. The only game I have maxed out 4GB is ACU... That's right!! 2 x 980SC's at 1080, maxed out 4GB vram!!! But we all know what a flaming dump that game is. FC4 gets into the low to mid 3GB vram, but other than those 2 games, nothing comes close that I own. In Fact, 99.9% of games right now will not come close to maxing out 4GB vram. But if you are into a game that needs more vram (now or future), then yes, it will be an issue. It really just comes down to the games you play. ACU & FC4 are really the only demanding games I play, and after playing ACU for a few hours, I'm not too sure I'll ever buy an AC game again. I just don't think it's very good. Maybe a 5 out of 10.

If you factor in though where the 980's are for sure going to become VRAM limited within a year or two requiring you to upgrade to an entire new set of cards, the $1300 price difference more likely becomes about $700 price difference (assuming you could sell your last gen used 980's for 50 cents on the dollar). $500 if you factor in having to buy new waterblocks for new cards too. I would never go more than tri-sli since the scaling isn't there for quad.

If I look at a game I play - BF4, that game already requires 3GB to play @ 1440p maxed out, and that's a game from 2013. I expect GTA V is going to be able to easily take up a ton of vram if the draw distances and whatnot are cranked up. I'm not saying that 980's are going to be dead in a year, just that there's a solid possibility they're going to not be able to max out games for very long. With 12GB you're at least guaranteed the GPU is going to be a limiting factor long before VRAM. We're definitely going to see 4K monitors become mainstream by the end of next year, but to be fair even SLI Titan X's might not be able to drive that resolution (gpu limited). DX12 is still wait and see. People were thinking Mantle was going to save AMD and that didn't turn out so well.

I need to see solid bench numbers before I decide to upgrade.. I'm done with deciding on hype.. Besides, there is more to consider now than just a simple video card upgrade... I have dual 780 ti's now, skipped 980's, we'll see what the next generation brings to the table.
But, I'm afraid the biggest decision maker for gpu this time around will be monitor connectivity options.. I want variable refresh rate, I'm not happy with G-sync limiting a monitor to a single display port... I need more, for multiple devices (hdmi, dvi-d, etc...)

Yep. I'm really hoping DX12 will come and save the day on the 4GB cards. That could allow these cards a much longer lifespan, which is why I am skeptical it will happen. I hope I'm wrong. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it comes to fruition.

Too much here is assumption and hyperbole. Not sure why we think every game must be played at the highest setting or its a fail. This is like if I cannot afford a Maserati, then I'll walk. Just seems like major chest pounding and saying, I have the best, NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH. 4K monitors will become main stream? Where's the proof of that? When will they be less than $200 each? That will be more than this year and it will take many of us to ditch our current monitor set-ups to then invest in that to create the demand to push the price down. Not sure that will happen today. It really seems like we are getting WAY ahead of ourselves here. But I guess we can all dream that this will happen, just like we can dream that we'll all lay down $5,000 for a 4K set-up, GPUs and monitors. Not sure I am ready to do that. I will when the GPUs are confirmed to run things at that resolution and when the monitors are affordable, like $200 each.

You make a good point. I will probably change my mind in a few years after I am making enough money not to care about price tags, but your analogy is spot on. There's certainly very comparable high end settings or small tweaks to "ultra" that almost offer the same visual experience as what is considered max settings. When you're immersed in the game and your screen is moving, you really don't pick up the anti-aliasing and jagged edges. I would even argue that higher frame rates is more important than higher textures unless you're comparing a screen shot to point out shadows or anti-aliasing differences. Furthermore, too high FPS/refresh rate feels unnatural after a certain point. It's very comparable to the newest TV's where people move at an unnatural robotic manner. Yet we will pay thousands of dollars for it because it's new technology.

Nvidia's two SKU generation/one architecture paradigm was present for Kepler, and is present for Maxwell all the same. The original Titan, at its release, was the only GK110 SKU available at the consumer level. It wasn't a full GK110 either, but rather 14/15ths of one. When people stopped paying $1000 for 135%-145% GTX680 performance, Nvidia did not release a 680Ti. Instead, they launched the GTX780. This was 12/15ths of GK110, but 70% the cost of the original Titan. When sales of the GTX780 began to taper, Nvidia released the 780Ti, which was 15/15ths the FP32 performance of a GK110 GPU; the 780TI took the 780 price point, and the 780 price was reduced. Then the Titan Black was released so there was still an excuse to charge $1000. The titan black differs from a 780 ti in frame buffer, and FP64 only. Maxwell has mirrored, and will continue to mirror Kepler. The TitanX will likely be an incomplete GM200. It will be more expensive than the original Titan because the die will be bigger to due to the challenges posed by <28nm lithography. Those that say they are waiting for a 980Ti will be waiting forever, as those that were waiting for a 680TI are. There will be no 900 series opportunities to tango with GM200. Just as the best 600 series GPU was a fully enabled GK104, the best of the 900 series will be a fully enabled GM204, aka a 980. EVGA has grouped the TitanX with the 900 series simply because their only other option is to put it in its own subforum(which happens to be precisely what they originally did with the original Titan). Depending on yields, there may not be an original Titan X with disabled units, and then a complete Titan X. Since TSMC are now veterans with 28nm, they may be able to produce a fully enabled GM200 for the TiatnX; this only removes the Titan X Black perse from the future lineup. Furthermore, those with SLI 980s will have around 33% more rendering horses, while having 67% the memory performance and 33% the frame buffer. That's not too bad considering the price for two 980s is less than a single TitanX, and will only become more price competitive. Nvidia will continue to position GM200 as a luxury item until it is no longer profitable. Then the 1000 series, or maybe back around to the 100X series, will start introducing new more affordable variants, while managing to convince people they're new technologies, instead of lesser versions of old technology, which is what they'll be. It is imperative that AMD get their *insert colorful metaphor* together. Not so that they gain market share from Nvidia, but rather so that Nvidia is forced to return to the days of the $500 flagship. EDIT: Timeline to aid in comprehension. 680(GK204)-> Titan( 14/15 GK110)-> 780(12/15ths GK110)->780Ti/TitanBlack(GK110/GK110+6GB+FP64)->980(GM204)->TitanX(GM200)

Sonny, a brand new GTX TITAN card is the greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe. They're so perky, I love that.

Quilt work: Piecing Together Specs about Nvidia's Next GTX Top Dog All of the pics that I’ve seen of it depict it as having the same size and form factor as the Titan and Titan Black - PCIe double wide. According to Anandtech [ http://www.anandtech.com/show/9049/n...ce-gtx-titan-x ], it’ll have 96 ROPS, a 384-bit memory bus, 12G of Vram, 8 billion transistors, be based on the Maxwell GM200 architecture with one GPU processor, possibly be born from the TSMC 28nm manufacturing process, and launched at a very high price. Extremetech [ http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/2...st-all-details ] adds that it’ll have either 192 or 256 (I believe that 256 is more likely) texture mapping units (TMUs), a core count of 3,072 and maybe 24 SMM blocks. Hexus. net [http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/...cing-surfaces/ ] adds that the price will likely be about $1,349 (for the base air-cooled version). Tomshardware [ http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvi...n-x,28694.html ] adds that it’ll have a green LED-lit “GeForce” label on it’s side. Legitreviews [ http://www.legitreviews.com/hands-nv...eo-card_159519 ] adds that it’s a PCIe double wide card, appears to support 3- and 4-way SLI (having two SLI interconnects), has one 6-pin and has one 8-pin power connectors, has three DisplayPorts, one HDMI and one DVI connector and will be dark gray or black with a black fan shroud. Guru3d [ http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvi...-revealed.html ] adds that it’ll have 6 GPCs, a core clock of ~988 MHz, a memory clock of 1653/1753 MHz, a memory bandwidth of 317.4 GB/s and a single precision floating performance of 6.07/7.0 TFLOPS.

I find it kind of amusing so many folks are enthusiastic for this new Titan. I'm wondering where all the folks from the "3GB of VRAM is enough" club are. There was a thread here on EVGA just a few months ago when everyone argued about how much VRAM was enough. Seems like folks are starting to understand that 3GB was already a bit short from the get-go, and that 4GB is now the minimum for a new high end card.
That said, I think this Titan X is a bit over the top for most folks. 12GB is really beyond necessary. 6GB is the new high sweet spot. I hope they come out with a high end mainstream version. Same core, 6 or 8GB VRAM for $700. I'd get two of those :)

1349.99 is out of my realm for a single card
I could probably pay it but I absolutely WILL NOT just on principle alone. Its such a overreaching and ridiculous price for a single gpu card that it begs to be ignored.
It's not the money that is the problem for me it's just seriously nvidia? 999.99 would have been fine but 1399.99? What's next? 3999.99 for the X2
I agree 999$ would be fine, and than EVGA example give some offers for first 100 customers to buy for 700e and you get excellent card, you don't need to wait Classified version and less memory. OK I would choose first Classified but who know what will be later this is secure GM200. Now even if they give offer same as power supplies, that's still much more than most people have. I repeat again, many people are in AMD hands, only because prices, and if they fail again I can't wait after that to hear someone to talk about AMD or something...We still hope AMD will launch 10% weaker card for 700$. But AMD price never stay on 700, very fast will drop to 600-650$ and than NVIDIA can't sell 10-15% stronger card for double more money.

Lack of competition does keep prices higher, but so do people who buy it at outrageous prices. If not a single person purchased one, the price would go down as well. Prices are set at what people will pay.
chrisdglong
Okay for 4K, but REALLY not a very smart purchase. Honestly, Nvidia's lower priced high-end cards are starting to lose value as well. The highest-end video card used to be 500 bucks, not it is over one thousand? Come on, this is pretty ridiculous. I really blame the lack of competition in the market. We have AMD and Nvidia, AMD has really been struggling with the PC market, if you ask me.
Exactly, its not so much lack of competition as it is the number of people willing to pay hand over fist (Read twice as much) to nvidia for an additional 2-3% performance, even in the dual GPU arena where that 100% increase is even more so laughable. I loved every nvidia card I had, but when it was time to upgrade I wasn't gonna pay Nvidia's artificial price inflations. All that said, it does seem that the rush to improve tech has slowed on almost every front except for Virtual Reality. BACK TO THE TITAN X, Lol I love in the specs section on anandtech, the launch price is "A Large Number" Is this still made on the previous manufacturing node 28nm?

I can't wait to see how Titan X hold on 1440p resolution with x4 filters in newest games.
That will show exactly power of graphic chip. With 12GB of memory now no sign of memory limitation even with multi graphic setup in 4K resolution.
They could even and mod games for better performance still will be far far from limitation. Some lucky guy will both two of them to replace Titan SLI and enjoy until Pascal show up.
