[citation][nom]photonboy[/nom]NOT OVERPRICED
eople keep saying the Titan is "overpriced" (and now the LE version), but how can it be "overpriced" if every Titan is sold out?People should be saying "Price to Performance ratio is high" but a card is only overpriced if they can't sell them.[/citation]
I get what you're trying to say, but being sold out is also dependent on the supply and not just the demand.
If there were fewer Titans made, then they'll get sold out quickly, there are 7 billion people on the planet, after all, someone's got to have enough enough cash!
"Overpriced" = "Charge too high a price for".
It's overpriced if they're charging very high margins on it, like they are for the 680, which has a smaller die than the 560 (332 sq mm).
Consider this, the 580/570 have a 520 sq. mm die, the Titan has a 550 sq. mm die and the 680 has a 294 sq mm die.
I know the costs aren't comparable on a 1:1 basis, but i do think material costs are cheaper/same. The 680 is 53% of the Titan's size, and cost is comparably lower.
alidan will do the math for us, maybe
