Am I reading this incorrectly ?
Why would anyone sell a Titan X to buy a 980 Ti? You are literally downgrading.
Possibly to go SLI later perhaps for cheaper.

Ahh ok, I could understand if someone sold their single Titan X to replace it with TWO 980 Tis, but not one of them.
But even then, financially it sounds like a pretty slim gain.
If you already have a Titan X and you sell it on eBay, you're gonna take some loss on it. Don't care if you kept the original box in perfect shape, etc, you cant expect to get 1000 bucks for it, you just aren't going to. After you sell it, you're going to turn around and pick up a new 980 Ti, which is a WORSE card in all respects than the Titan X, for what, 650-799? (do we know what the real price point is yet?) Doesn't seem worth it to me.
You might get 900 bucks for your perfectly kept Titan X, and then you gotta spend 700 on a new 980 Ti.... You didn't really save much cash and you now end up with a worse gaming setup than you had before.... Now on the one hand, if you could get 900 for your Titan X and you could get a used 980 Ti off eBay for 500, then maybe I can see the appeal of the $$$ savings, but there aren't going to be used 980 Tis on eBay for quite a while.
I cant help but wonder if some people here are confusing the current situation with the previous debacle where the 780 Ti turned out to be FASTER in all games than the original Titan (forcing nvidia to scramble and release the Titan Black...). We haven't seen full reviews of the 980 Ti yet but all signs point to it being slower than then Titan X in all game titles at 1440p, let alone at 4K. Some pre-review sites are significantly overclocking the 980 Ti so that it squeaks past a stock clocked Titan X in various benchmarks, but that really isn't fair since the Titan X will overclock to the same speeds as the 980 Ti does, and thus blow past the 980Ti in benchmarks/games.
i wouldnt sell my titan Xs for 980ti s ... but if you want to sell me yours for dirt cheap.. i'll probably take it and run 3 way

here it is if you want it. i dont know what you mean about dirt cheap. obviously i would buy a second titan x for sli if it wasn't much more expensive than 980 ti.
I went over to EVGA... and wanted to check out some info. Well I viewed a remorseful Titan X buyers thread.
TLDR:
"I JUST SOLD MY TITAN X FOR $750.00
GOODBYE NVIDIA, I'M HOLDING OUT FOR R9 390X
GOODBYE"
My jaw dropped...and began laughing so hard. Must be new to the game...and super salty.
Reviews are already starting to drop. They are calling the 980Ti a "Titan X with a price cut"....

They said based on numbers it should be about 7% slower than a Titan X (at matching clock speeds) but in practice was 3% or less slower. Basically no noticble difference in any of the titles they tested. They didn't test SLI vs SLI though. I'd be interested to see if the 12GB on a pair of Titan Xs made any difference there.
Still, I would not go selling my Titan Xs and replacing them with 980Tis but if I was still running my 980 and about to upgrade, the Titan X would be a tough sell over a 980 Ti
Salty Thread
Man you really can't make that shit up.
But I don't understand the logic here: I got "burned" (debatable), so I'm going to sell at a loss and buy a cut down card with less vram? Dafuq?
Titan X is practically dead in the market now (telling this as owner of dual TiX SLI ) due to the practically nonexisting difference in performance with the 980Ti. This rises interesting question why there is no difference. My theory is that this is due to the DirectX 11 limitations on the CPU-GPU operation and thus in the DirectX 12 the difference will be more prominent, though obviously still small and not justifying the current price of TiX.

I laughed reading that thread, especially at the post that he sold it for $750.

Yeah i have a feeling it'll be permanently in Stock from now on.
Man it would suck to be a TiX owner right now, OTOH everyone and their mother knew the 980Ti was coming.

I don't have any regrets. As others have already stated, everyone knew this was coming. And it's not really surprising that a card will be replaced by a faster and cheaper card..
Yeah, frame times look worse on the 980 Ti going by the graphs I've seen. Min and max framerates may be similar, but it is definitely not offering the same smoothness as the Titan X. It looks like, on average, the 980 Ti is 3-8% slower in real-world gaming.Except its not faster. Its only cheaper.
This isn't a year ago with the 780 Ti vs the original Titan fiasco. The 780 Ti WAS faster than the Titan. And much cheaper.
The 980 Ti is only cheaper than the Titan X, it's not faster in any game that any reviewer has tested. (unless it was over clocked and the the Titan X was left at stock clock)
Nope, not at all. Most of us bought one or several knowing full well the 980 Ti was coming. Unlike Kepler Titan, Maxwell Titan is the full chip.There is no way a Titan X owner is not feeling regret. NVidia tricked me with the first Titan and I felt so burned. That's why I didn't fall for it a second time. Man....this one must hurt even more for you guys.

Only potential I could see for the X is IF a pair of Xs in SLI is noticeably faster than a pair of 980 Tis in SLI @ 4k gaming. The tests on toms and anadtech show that 4k on a single card, be it Titan X or 980 Ti, is still unacceptable by enthusiast standards (i.e., 38-51 FPS depending on the game), so you still need SLI for decent 4K. If the extra ram on a Titan X SLI setup turns out to make a difference over a pair of 980 Tis in SLI (i.e., 24 GB vram vs 12 GB gram) then there's still that small niche market for Titan X SLI. Not sure how DX12 would mess with this either....

Well, kinda. You see, Nvidia has further tuned the GM200 GPU on the 980 Ti, and it expects slighty higher operating clock speeds (~20Hz out of ~1000MHz) as a result. So the difference between the first run of Titan X cards and this newcomer is even smaller in practice than the specs sheet suggests.
Interesting. I had thought that the Titan X was hitting the thermal limit harder due to the extra cores and VRAM when compared to the 980 Ti, limiting its Boost clock potential.Bottom line, the Ti is a slower card. I got what I paid for. Honestly the only reason people keep bringing this up it seems to somehow rationalize themselves of buying the Ti. I guess that is good marketing from NV though
NV also made the Ti look better in reviews by making tweaks to the boost profile. Newer TX cards have the same tweak (not that it matters, since you can OC yourself)

Why do you continue obsess about how others spend their money on multiple forums? What's the agenda here? Computers are about the cheapest hobby I've got going, heh.
Obviously he's still bitter about getting ripped on the first Titan. He's like a noonwraith in the witcher, forever cursed to roam hardforum and haunt it's threads.
Also as somebody else said, computers are a cheap hobby. I could and sometimes do throw a lot more money at other hobbies.
