lol at buying titan to play sc2 and then complain about value....
that $350 difference between titan and 780.
3gb of vram is about $100 - you got the vram chip to show for.
10-15% of extra performance is about $100 - you got the extra performance to show for.
the only true premium you are paying for on the titan is ~150.
resale loss will eat up that premium. so just keep it.
how about buy another titan so you can better utilize that 6gb vram with some more eye candy.
I already decided that I will keep it, it doesn't make sense to sell it and buy 780 in my case at least I don't think it's worth it, I'm not a penny pincher and if I was I probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place. If I didn't already had Titan, then 780 would make more sense but resale loss and the hassle of selling makes it not worth it. Unfortunately I can't afford another Titan as this time. Maybe latter, I wouldn't mind if it got cheaper, 800$ would be nice.
I've seen quite a few people starting to dump their Titans, as low as $850 and I'm sure you can negotiate it down a bit.
But a single 84" 4k TV will also set you back 25k
Given absolutely no budget, $50 would be pretty easy to spend on a computer.
~$30K for 3 RAID cards and SSDs to fill
~$10K for quad XEON
~$10K for memory to fill.
Overbudget and we don't even have a mobo yet.
OP I feel for ya, but you shouldn't be angry. You must have been around to know that something almost as good was coming for cheaper. I remember when I bought the 8800GTS 640 for $600, and then like a year later you could get a 8800GT that performed on par for like $250. You got the fastest single card right now...enjoy it...I would if I had one and had time for some gaming.

I would actually prefer if they did just that, I would probably bought another one for SLI. It it slower, but they are so close in performance that there's no perceivable difference between them. 780 didn't make the titan a complete waste of money, 6GB could be useful in Tri-SLI configurations and 1/3 FP 64 performance is important to a lot of people who use it for CUDA. I don't fit in any of those scenarios.I can see you feeling bad about it if nV suddenly reduced the price of Titan to like $750 but they didn't, They released a slower part for less money.

It feels like they are getting more and more greedy.
nV exists mostly to make money, not really to appease us, like most publicly traded companies.
If you paid $1K on Titan you either have so much money you don't care that it's only 10% faster, or you're so ignorant of tech that you didn't realise that Nvidia would do this a few weeks later.
Either way, Nvidia doesn't care - it was your fault for paying that on Titan.
Yeah but that would be basically all you'd use for a display, even 4x GTX Titans can't drive 3 4K monitors for gaming
They do 1080p quite well too just saying, you could spend that amount of money if you're crazy and able.
I think you summed it up well.Yeah, as if everybody knew that 780 will be 650$ and not 850$. Judging by the reaction on this forum this was a good move for them, but they certainly won't make more profit on me in the long term by their pricing policy this generation.
ps. I just find it strange that nobody is upset with pricing policy of NV, yet there was yelling and screaming when AMD launched 7970 that it was too expensive, even though it offered better value then nv's flagship. It's like NV are free to do something without upsetting anybody which other companies can't. They nailed brand recognition and loyalty very well I must admit. The pricing policy for this generation was just awful for the custumer, first they release a mid-range card with high-end price tag, and a lot of people believed that this is high-end and argued arduously when someone called it mid-range, then they released their true high-end for 1000$ and when everybody who was willing to pay that much for a graphics card bought it then they released insignificantly slower card for 650$. They couldn't do better in terms of profit.
I think I'll pick up a 780 as a PhysX card to keep my three Titans company.
