Compute is gone?

I beg to differ. It's actually much improved over original Titan save Dual Precision.
Thermally limited? Explain. All GPUs these days are thermally limited.
Seems to overclock quite well and scales really well. YMMV as per usual.

The stock cooler approaching loud? Man, it's actually the same, or quieter at load than the original Titan. And far quieter than 290X.

Power consumption is in 290X territory. But look at the performance difference. It is actually less power hungry in Crysis 3 than 290X Uber. More power hungry in Furmark though.

People harp? Are you comparing a 250W Titan X and it's performance to a 290X? Which consumes the same or more power at a far lower performance? I'd say that same people that "harped" on 290X for it's power consumption are actually marvelling at TitanX performance using the same power as the 290X. Come on man, be rational. Every one of your points are wrong here.
1000 dollars is pricey. That's about the only thing you are right about.
