Not really... it's usually in stock and there are plenty of Titans selling at MSRP or _below_ on eBay. So if you really want on they are easy to get.
Did a quick website search. Are we using an MSRP of $1000? If so, 0 for sale @ MSRP (as in "Buy It Now") on eBay. 0 in stock at Newegg. Amazon has a few from 3rd party sellers, all over MSRP though. TigerDirect doesn't seem to sell it. SuperBiiz has the Asus "In Stock", but when you click it the price changes to "Request a Quote". Never seen that before. NCIX US shows 2 "In Stock", but when I check the stock on the Asus it says 0 on hand. There are, however, 3 Zotac on hand. :thumbsup:
47, not many to begin with. If it was hundreds sold out it may be more interesting.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%20GTX%20TITAN
I'm betting all those damned phd students snapping them up >:

Wow are you getting pretty desperate to claim titanic is "sold out"?
The MSRP is more on certain models. EVGA is selling their own cards for MSRP.
*Titan-ic only due to price.
What are you saying with the 47?

Check completed listings. 8 cards sold below MSRP on the first page alone.
If demand was high these cards would NOT be going for under $1k on eBay. I remember when the 5870s were first released, people sold them for almost a $200 markup due to low stock. That is not happening with the Titan.
Ask yourself this: Why are you GLOATING that Nvidia is supposedly making so much profit per Titan sold? How does that help us, the end consumer?No doubt, but rather ask yourself this: Who PROFIT the most out of 7970 and Titan? Who have the best margin?
If I were in the market to buy a Titan, why would I check completed listings?
Under 1k makes sense, who would pay MSRP and want a premier product with no warranty? That's insane.
To get an idea of what they're selling for?

Uh, you don't forfeit warranty when buying used, unless the seller is trying to screw you and doesn't include a copy of the invoice.
The point is that no Titans would be selling below $1k, even used, if demand was as high as some people claim.
That's really the real question. The constant moving of goal posts just to start a fanboy circlejerk is something else. The sad thing is most of these people aren't even paid for it, they just don't have anything else in their lives.Ask yourself this: Why are you GLOATING that Nvidia is supposedly making so much profit per Titan sold?

Wrong. Only sellers care what things sold for on eBay. Buyers will look at what is available.
Really? Do all manufacturers do this with GPUs specifically? I am surprised. The rest of the electronics industry doesn't support transferable warranties. Got any fine print to back that up?
I always check completed listings before buying something. I'm pretty sure others do as well. I had a guy who wouldn't offer me over $400 for my laptop because that's what the last few auctions went for.
eVGA supports transferable warranties. Most other GPU manufactures just go by the serial number on the card and provided you have a copy of the original invoice you're fine.
The EVGA warranty is non-transferable. Products purchased second hand, from a non-authorized seller, or from an auction site do not carry any warranty.
That's fine it's purchased in a store, where there is no customer name on the invoice. What you are talking about is avoiding the warranty terms of service in the case where the manufacturer is unable to proof the identity of the original purchaser.
But any online invoice will show who the item was sold to. With more and more people buying online, the ONLY invoice is the online invoice. In that case, used buyer is SOL.
As far as evga, according to their current terms of service:
Again, I'd like to see fine print of any GPU company that provides warranty service to second hand owners.

And if you've got the pockets for a $1,000 one, Nvidia will sell you one (and AMD will be, soon, with the 7990).
Is is confirmed that it will cost 1000$? For 800$ I might bite, but 1000$ is too much. I wish it would be like 6990 which cost much less then 2x6970.
