Maybe a bit off topic to the Titan V, but when looking online, I can't find anywhere to buy an Titan Xp today? ONLY in prebuilt systems, not as a stand alone card?...

You sure did ! At the time I bought mine the cheapest 1080Ti was £675. That is why I refused to pay a penny more. Gotta say it is nice to have the box man. Got mine on display in here
It clocks way better than any Ti too. Some bloke on Linus was giving it the biggun saying the Ti was faster than the XP so I cranked it up to +235 on the core and 100 on the memory and left him in the dust.I gotta say, with any Titan you do always get the quality silicon.
I just wouldn't pay three grand for this. Even though it is a sexy muscular marvel it just doesn't do much more than the XP does. So I won't be selling my bike collection any time soon lmao

I have the money to get a Titan V but on principle I will not, As then I am letting Nvidia know that it's ok to charge this sum of money if I purchased it.

Screw them apples. If I had 3 grand to burn like I did before I would buy two Star Wars for a grand a piece. One dark side, one green. They will pee on Titan V in SLi.

And on your electricity bill
Titan V though, 3000 dollar for something as horribly quick outdated tech is just mad.

Most I ever spent on a GPU was £850 on the Titan X Maxwell, I will never spend more than £600 now on principle, Doesn't matter that I can afford it, I'm not going to be one of the people saying "yeah keep upping prices it's totally fine I'll keep buying your stuff".

The sad part about all of this is the same principle as you told me years ago on this very forum regarding the band "Nickelback", that they didn't care less about me...
The same goes for your case here. Nvidia doesn't really care at all what mindset you have or you don't have. You are one person out of millions that will buy their stuff anyway and get their millions in dollars back.
So while I understand what you mean, it won't matter the slighest overall and in the long run.

I'm hopeful that more people start having my type of mindset otherwise we will start seeing £1000 1080 Ti type reference cards in the future.

If enough people follow suit, things do change, slowly but surely. People have put their foot down regarding Intel. People have put their foot down regarding EA. People have put their foot down regarding Sony and their terrible Amazing Spider-Man reboot. Things changed.

Difference here is that Nvidia doesn't care nor is anybody really in a position to challenge them. There is no competition for people to switch to because AMD is so far behind and the common incorrect notion amongst gamers is that AMD sucks and Nvidia is equal to Gaben. So people will try all they want. It won't change anything.

This, so much this. Nvidia can literally do what they like and people will still buy their products without question. Remember the GameWorks incident? Nothing happened. I'll go out on a limb and say Nvidia fans are actually worse than Intel fans. Anyone two halves short of a full brain will know that anyone buying the Titan V for gaming are beyond comprehension. I really hope Navi and beyond really do bring AMD back into contention on the GPU front.

That's a fair point. Of course, even when AMD were competitive and actually bettered Nvidia, people still largely bought them. So maybe my point doesn't stand at all in this case. Still, it's worth hoping that at the very, very top-end, with enough people putting the foot down there might be some sway.

I'm right there with you! I refuse to enable his leather jacket fetishism
Last time I checked the Ti already is only a few euros off a 1000. I can afford it but have common sense and won't spend that on a card. I'd rather go on holiday somewhere.
Ha ha yeah, it's a Dutch thing we say
I want to buy a 2080 but not at 1k, not at 900 and not at 800. One has to apply common sense and apply boundaries.

I have given up hope for the gaming community honestly. The most toxic and overreactive group of people I've ever met or seen. So much fanboyism and if you don't agree with popular opinion you're told to hang yourself etc.
The only time something gets done is when it's so obvious something bad is happening that even the Fanboys see it. AKA BF2. How often does this happen? Rare.
There's a few good people in every community but honestly just go play LoL, WoT, PUBG, any other popular game and it's just toxic people screaming over a virtual game. The way I see parents trying to parent these days explains everything. Hell just go to Disneyland and watch kids and there parents. It's laughable. Was just there and saw kids smacking parents, throwing food, etc. Terrible.
This is why mostly play single player. Gamers make it not fun to do much else.
Anyway rant over. My point being Nvidia is fine and nothing will change.

I think the discussion of why single-player is better than multi-player will never stop being discussed on this forum. It's a good conversation to have.

People do have other options even if they only buy from NVidia.
The GTX 1080 is a very good gaming card at any resolution and if people just bought those and none of the higher cards like the 1080 Ti or Titans NVidia would soon get the message.
Personally I would be quite happy gaming on a 6gb GTX 1060 even at 4k with the settings turned down a bit as I enjoy the gameplay far more than the visuals.
I do have some fast cards but I use them for other things as well as gaming otherwise I would do what I have typed above.

Nearly all of the Titan owners I know that bought them only to show off did not buy Titan XP. Or Xp. They waited, had some humble pie and bought the 1080Ti.
I've not been around those forums much lately because as soon as the XP came out and they all got a massive slap in the face it went awfully quiet. It seems every one has a limit, and Nvidia priced out most of the ex Titan owners I knew.
I honestly, however, do not understand why people are getting so wound up about the Titan V pricing. For a starters it is not even meant for nearly all of them, so what's the problem? It was the same with the Vega FE. No one wanted it, no one bought it, so no one gave a crap about the price.
If gaming technology was moving along fast all of this would matter. But it isn't, and DX12 is crap and disappointing. Promised the moon, given a spec of dust. All of the games I have wanted over the past few years can easily be maxed out by a 1070. There really is nothing actually challenging these cards, gaming is completely stagnant IMO.
I think you will find that your average Titan Show Off (TM) really doesn't have that much money. Let's face it, as showing off goes it's quite a cheap entrance price if you hold down a reasonable job. I knew a guy that had a race Skyline (over 1k HP) and it cost him a grand every time he ran it. And of course then there are Ferrari owners etc. £6000 a service. THAT is throwing your money around, not buying a sodding GPU lol.
What Nvidia has definitely 100% nailed in with the Titan V is they have killed off that poser market.. I don't know any one buying one. Not one single person. Whereas the Titan Maxwell? loads of people I know bought that at launch. And the original Titan, and the Titan Black.

I imagine most of you know about DudeRandom on YouTube who benchmarks games? It's a great channel. Anyway, he's always bought the latest and greatest from Nvidia and Intel. And even AMD as he bought and extensively tested the Vega FE GPU. I'm very curious to know whether he'll buy the Titan V.
Personally I agree with Alien that the price of the Titan V is not that surprising considering the size of the GPU, the memory, the advanced technology inside of it, and the lack of competition. When I saw the announcement, it was a surprise, but I wasn't that excited. I'm really excited for the next GeForce cards, but not this Titan V. It seems to me that Nvidia are trying even harder to distance gaming from the Titan moniker. Funnily enough, despite what's being said across the Internet, I think that will help consumers and Nvidia's standing in the long run.
