So, does anyone have a spare £2400 to buy this?

You'd have to be seriously touched in the head to buy this.
You buying 2 then
Jokes aside I do agree with you, if you bought this strictly for gaming then you would need to go see a doctor, because you are just nuts.
The 2080Ti is already stupidly priced, yes nVidia need to try and recover some of the money spent on development but seriously there pricing is just getting almost as bad if not worse than Apple and that is saying something.
My 1080Ti will last me for a few years yet I think, the only 2 games that I intend to buy are Anthem which runs fine on my system ^_^ and The Division 2 which I need to upgrade my CPU for at some point

It's that some completely out of touch individual will pay £1300 extra over a 2080 Ti for 256 extra CUDA cores and some extra memory, I'd lose all respect for someone after that, That's not an enthusiast, That's someone completely out of touch.
I think 90% of these will end up getting sent to developers for testing(RTX/MI features, optimisation, ect, easier to have a little headroom when using original textures and models and then trim down/compress/optimise from there), I think that's where most of their recent Titan's have been targeted at.

Unless their giving them the card for free likely not. BioWare Edmonton orders from a store I use to work at and they get the 2070 with only a few 2080ti's and some Amd cards. They order these machines by the pallet and some are shipped off to other EA Devs.

Yep, The university my mother works at in Germany got quite a few Quadro cards last year for their science department free of charge.
Getting hardware into universities is absolutely critical not just to use but for teaching too, lecturers would always prefer to teach principles of operation rather than how specific architectures or protocols work, but sometimes you need those real world examples to study and use to truly grasp things, so if those learning examples happen to be very popular options in the real world it can hit two birds with one stone for preparation while benefiting the hardware vendor too when those students go on to real projects. Coincidentally, this a big part of the reason why MIPS was such a dominating architecture for so long.

The question is why it higher than the FE even though it uses the same cooler and a fully enabled chip.
Are the cards using binned silicon?

This forum officially lacks a dedicated like button.
TU102's core count was already at the point where it had to reduce is clock speeds against TU104 (2080 has a higher boost clock than the Titan) to have all the cores of the 2080Ti enabled in most cases. The slightly better minimum bin regarding maximum clocks at the target TDP is likely a requirement/implication/side effect of any TU102 chip that also aims to have every core utilised at full load at near base clocks for the target TDP. The 2080Ti was the closest thing you can get to a value bin on a 775mm^2 chip on a mature node, while the Titan is in line with what you'd expect for a full-fat chip.

I think this is the first time I have seen the full fat chip (Titan) boost higher than the XX80 Ti card.
All the previous Titans used blower fans(Except the dual chip titan Z). Cooling 250W+ chips cased in insulating material & cooled via a tiny vent is always going to be a challenge. Plus it's usually only the max boost 2.0/3.0 clocks, that is higher on the 80Ti's. I don't think we actually know the RTX Titan's full boost profile yet so things could fall in to place in a pretty similar matter, at the end of the day we're talking like 50Mhz+/- though here, not really performance altering factors, at least not once third party tools & "OC Buttons" and the like come into play.
