wait so why did you sell it in the first place?
 


I decided to get a 690 instead and sold off the 780. Well, now I have the 690 up for sale since I've decided to downgrade and use the extra money for other things. I was going to get a 770, but at this price, I will just get a 780 again.
 
Damn $150 off, really? I was wrong about Nvidia care for their customers at all and can't eve imagine the pain of people who bought it just recently.
Titan will probably dissappear like nonsense because its likely Nvidia want to beat AMD and thus must release faster card. And if they will drop price tag on Titan that will be the last drop.
The only thing i don't understand is why Nvidia does that are they butthurt 24/7? AMD releases cards based on schedule. Nvidia releases it to be at the top no matter what(screwing customers like nothing). 7xxx has new drivers that put it sometimes higher than 680, 7970Ghz dealt with 680 - > Nvidia rushed 7xx series -> 290x stomped Titan -> Nvidia screwed everyone and dropped price tremendously, screwed Titan owners and is releasing 780ti.
That was the biggest price drop i ever saw in such a short time and only reference from AMD was released, i wonder what will happen when custom solutions and new revisions will come into play. Its about time rushing Maxwell, Nvidia promised 2 times faster cards, we'll see.

And ofcourse why would anyone buy 780 when just +$50 yes not +$450 just +$50 anyone can get better performance or -$50 for the same one. And drivers for 290 and 290x will still have updates, it may have the same type of cores but architecture of the chip is still different, so there will be some gains here and there.
 
this looks really interesting, now I am really waiting to see what will be AMD answer to GTX 770 price cut with R9 280x pricing.
 


ill say it yet again, why drop price on titan? Its a budget compute card instead of going for Nvidia's more expensive pro line, Nvidia themselves know its not a price/performance "gaming" card. Its all about the 780/780 Ti here. Titan is IRRELEVANT.
 
the 780ti is a full gk110 with "actual" gaming instruction set.... unlike the titan which is a gimped quardo with workstation instructions. it will likely be at least 7-15% faster than a titan across the board in gaming.... not to mention its pcb will be made with overclocking in mind.
 

Verbal diarrhea?
 


I am in the same boat. I have a 570 and have been looking around for a proper replacement (mostly for more vRam). I think that I decided to wait it out a bit longer to see how next gen games pan out. If all of the console ports take proper advantage of Mantle then I will jump the nVidia ship for my first AMD/ATI card in over 8 years. But if Mantle is a bust then it looks like I will get a 770 or wait for an equivalent 800 series card.
 




that graph doesnt tell me gaming performance, and its probably at stock. I always OC and then the 780's beat it always.

Not if it performs better, has cuda, has good drivers, better heat, better watts, less noise, gsync and 3 AAA free games. That's too high? Companies are in business to make money (well AMD isn't I guess). AMD isn't charging enough or they'd be making money, GET IT?

Simple economics...NV doesn't make as much as they did in 2007. They are not gouging anyone and should be charging more (so should AMD) and neither side should be handing out free games. Do you want them to be able to afford engineers and good drivers or NOT? AMD currently can't afford them due to your price love, so you get crap drivers that still are not fixed. It's sad people don't understand the reason you have crap drivers is they have lost $6Billion in 10yrs! R&D isn't FREE and the king of the hill gets to charge more than the putz.

NV made ~550mil last 12 months (made $850 in 2007). Intel made ~10Billion (made under 7B 2007, so profits WAY UP, NV way down). Also INtel had 54B in assets 2007, now has 84billion! Who's raping you? The Nvidia hate is hilarious. I like good drivers, always improving products, and new perf/features. That means they need to PROFIT or we'll get crappy drivers from NV also.

Microsoft 2007=14B, this year $21B (again UP HUGE!)
Assets 2007=64B, 2013=146Billion HOLY SHITE.

Who's raping you...IT isn't Nvidia...They are not doing nearly as well as 2007. So if they were even raping you then, now they're just asking you to show them your boobs...ROFL. MSFT/INtel on the other hand are asking you to bend over and take it like a man, oh and give me your wallet when I'm done, hey and that car too, heck sign over your house please...

APPLE 2007=~3Bil profits 2013=41Billion (holy 13.5x the raping).
Assets 2007=25B, wait for it...2013=176Billion!
bend over and take it like a man, oh and give me your wallet when I'm done, hey and that car too, heck sign over your house please...Did you mention you're planning on having kids?...Name them Apple and I want them as slaves too...LOL

Are we clear people. NV makes less now than 2007 and hasn't made near that 850mil since. Why? Because market forces are keeping them down which is only hurting them, and their R&D (that force is AMD, who by the way make ZERO). AMD is killing themselves and fools posting crap like this is why (OK, it's managements fault for charging stupidly low prices and giving out free games). You can thank the price of your card for your crappy AMD drivers 😉

Doesn't anyone want AMD to make money? Ask for HIGHER PRICES! Not lower, and quit demonizing NV who doesn't make NEAR what they did in 2007! Intel killed their chipset business and cost them a few hundred million each year. See how that works. If profits for these two companies don't start going up we're all going to get slower product releases (witness what just happened, no new cards for 2yrs if you can even call AMD's new as it just catches OLD NV cards and runs hot doing it), and we can all expect CRAP DRIVERS with those slower released cards.


 


That driver issue is why you pay a premium for the other guy...LOL. Enjoy your crappy drivers on those new cards and waiting long periods for NEW games to be optimized due to no profits from AMD to pay for drivers. Still haven't fixed DX9 or XP people, or old cards eyefinity, CF still being worked on, enduro still sucks etc. There is more to a product than PRICE.

Cuda, 3 AAA games, physx, Gsync, good drivers, low heat, low watts, lower noise. All worth MORE $$$. AMD doesn't charge enough or they'd be making money. YOU and people like you are killing them asking for low pricing and loving it. You are about to LOVE THEM TO DEATH.
 


Titan can do DP like Tesla...Tesla is $2500. Titan is a steal even today. Perf in games is not the only reason for the price of that card, it has pro abilities. Read toms workstation review. You will see titan BLOWING desktops cards away in a lot of stuff and they don't really highlight cuda vs. anything...That would be even more impressive.
 
Serously guys, AMD finally brought something of value and worth to the table and Nvidia's dominance over the last couple of years is being severely threatened. They had to respond with something drastic.
 


Nvidia dominance last couple years?? You lost me!
 
Well AMD, you finally scared Nvidia. I knew you would do someday. I am planning to get the 280x ( I don't have much money for the 290x) and I do hope AMD gets better and better everyday.
