Whats going to be troubling is that it's price will be higher then what is being said.
Remember the 680/7970 launch? The prices were astronomical due to the demand and short supply. Not only that the chip the Titan is going to be using is in even shorter supply. Anybody looking to buy that card will be looking at out of stock and price hikes (as retailers buy and hold products to drive prices).
As for the "your only mad because you can't afford it" response has merit, but remember that pricing should reflect what the product provides. It is 40% faster at nearly 100% more cost. It is a show off item, your turn off frame-rate monitors and you would be hard pressed to notice much of a difference between many cards out their. I think of it as the Bose of the video card world. Even the name reflects the marketing, Titan (does sound good though).
The Titan really exist just to jab AMD. Taking the single fastest GPU title for marketing reasons. They will probably post that up on their website. I see it happening. "Nvidea the makers of the single fastest GPU to date". It's going to be everywhere mark my words.
I don't dislike the Titan because it's ridiculousness, I dislike the Titan because it's underlying purpose isn't to give us an great card, but to make a Bling item and marketing. Just a distraction from the GTX 700s and poking AMD in the ribs.
It's just a waste.
