Its a product (like many other products) with a value aspect that is being discussed. Its also a high end product that is governed by the same fundamentals that characterize other high end products, being that value is less a proposition when compared to other 'more affordable' products. You can ignore that and pretend that it is the only product where its buyers are idiots for not buying cheaper alternatives (regardless of whether they can afford it) if it makes you feel any better, which I presume is the only direction some posters wish to focus on.Two wrongs, etc. Plus, we're not discussing cars and audio, we're discussing video cards.
I've been thinking of getting a 3rd Titan Xp to use as a PhysX card.

I do actually mostly agree with you about the Titan Xp. There's no real problem with it when the 1080 Ti is available and the 1080 is down to <$500. The points were more salient back when the 1080/1070 were new and also when the Titan XP was the only GP102 product.Its a product (like many other products) with a value aspect that is being discussed.

Right now the Pascal stack is mostly reasonably priced, (it's a tad higher than is desirable, at least in the US, but not too bad) but it's annoying that it only happens near the tail end. It's a very profitable release paradigm and it is exploitative, I agree that NV is well within their rights to do so, but I also think that it should be acknowledged.
If Xp was even 30% faster its price could be justified. But the fact is you are paying $500 more for an extra gig of ram.
People who are simply buying it for gaming are stupid. But if one needs the compute capabilities then its fine.

That's a short sighted statement. Me buying another Titan Xp for use as a PhysX card would by far benefit the world better than any charity donation.

Huh? What you're talking about has nothing to do with business ethics and morals.Nvidia fans(hardcore ones) will not acknowledge this but instead blame amd for lack of competition. This is only partly true because there is also a thing called business ethics and morals which nvidia doesn't seem to be following (with its titan cards).
