The Titan premium has been watered down.
That immediately should cost the cost to $800, but Nv ain't having that.
I'll wait for the 980Ti.
I'm afraid they will be a cut down version, since Titan X is single precision, there would be no other difference.
Did you mean won't be? I'm going to give TiX a pass to see what shakes out later.

Take all of those $ values and subtract $100-$200 after they get #rekt by AMD in June.Makes sense to introduce a cut-down Titan X as a 980 Ti. After all, NVidia has to have a $700-800 price point consumer product. The pricing scheme worked well for the 700 series, so I would not expect them to deviate too much.
970 = at around $330, it's a bargain for the performance and been selling like hotcakes since launch.
980 = at around $550, it's a little faster and cheaper than the 780Ti was.
Titan X = epeen enlargement surgery limited time only $999! Now you can prove that yours is 50% * bigger - better - faster * than the next in line product! (IRL I'm jealous towards those capable/willing to get even one )
980 Ti = suspect the specs will fall right between the 980 and Titan X (20-30% faster than 980) for around $750. Increased mem bus width of 384bit and 6GB VRAM.
980 8GB = nothing added except for more frame buffer. Probably fall somewhere in the $625-700 point. As elusive as the 6GB 780.

I'm wetting my whistle for a sub-$400 GTX 980. Let's make it happen.
Great - no transistor wasted on whole gm200 for non gaming purposes
No transistors are wasted anyway...the lockout is solely an artificial software restriction. This BS is purely NVidia offering less for more. The Titan is supposed to be the be-all-to-end-all video card...now it's nothing more than a neutered mid-level card with more VRAM.
I'd even buy the damn Quadro if they wouldn't lock SLi on them. They only permit Quadro SLi only on watered down, largely useless OEM machines. The Titan was supposed to be the best of both worlds...not anymore.
NVidia's taking a play out of the Intel playbook...for non-OEM machines, give either unrestricted DP performance or SLi, but not both...sort of like Intel says you can have either an unlocked CPU or dual CPU, but not both.
Purely ignorant move on their part, IMO.
Ebay is amazing for selling hardware of certain flavors. So many dumb people.I was wondering why people were able to sell original Titan 6GB cards for $500+ after they've been out so long...now I know.
I may put mine up for sale I the base Want Ads folder to finance the purchase of a 390x in June...
Are you asking for personal reasons? Because if you have to ask, it doesn't concern you.For us newbies out there- Can someone explain this like I'm five? Why is this or is this not a big deal? I'm seeing conflicting information in my research (mostly forum posts).

Except the new Quadro also doesn't have DP. DP was just not part of the Maxwell architecture.

Although I understand nVidia's logic for reducing compute performance on the Titan X, for my personal use what pains me is to see that my project rendering times would increase substantially if I were to replace my eVGA GTX Titan Signature Edition with a Titan X. Sure, games would run smoother but is that a good enough reason for me to purchase a Titan X? I'll have to think about the trade-off for a bit.

That post begs the question, is it possible to use Titan X (or Titan X SLI) for gaming and have an original Titan installed as a Second/Third card dedicated to Rendering/Compute/PhysX?

BTW, another reason for NV leaving DP computing might be the coming Intel Knights chip and cards. With 3 Teraflop DP performance and a version of the chip able operate as a standalone computer it might be a game changer in this area which NV can not match. If the chip would be available for making ultra high-performance workstations there would be total shakeup at the high-end (imagine Xeon on overdose of steroids) though I tend to think Intel will offer it only to exotic markets by limiting sales and/or by setting exorbitant unit price.
