I wouldn't buy one till around September... I know 2 people that would like to get one. But it's always best to wait 5-6 months after launch till all the bugs are worked out.

Good to know my GTX 690 isn't gonna be blow away yet. :P

But it's about time Nvidia stopped screwing around and released a real GPU that isn't a petty 25-30% better then the last card.

Until AMD releases new cards I don't see any price drops on the GTX 6XX line and that $800-900 price tag for titan looks to be a real possibility.

What? GTX 6xx series was a major improvement over 5xx series. I wouldn't call that petty. Keplers are awesome.   Don't expect this "REAL" GPU to sport conventional releases.  This is more or less an experiment with LIMITED graphics cards, aimed at people with the money to pay a lot of money for it even if it's $750-800 max.  

Most of us won't be buying a Titan.  AMD 7000 series won't be affected by it at all.

You must not been around when people were ticked that GTX 680 wasn't as great as they thought. Alot of people kept saying they were going to wait for GTX 780.

One of the reasons I bought a GTX 690. Why spend $500 on an outdated card? Might as well spend more for something that will last longer instead of upgrading in 2-3 years.

The only 2 things Kepler has over Fermi...

1. Wattage

2. OC ability.

If you didn't take advantage of the OC then there isn't a reason to go from a 5XX series to a 6XX series.

GTX 690 was limited. They don't experiment with production cards because of the cost. Every time GTX 690 was instock it was sold out again. It took near the end of September of last year for them to keep stock up.

I remember all the reviews with GTX 690 OC's all over the place. As the months went by the OC's started to stablize on them. Because yields got better.

And I think you mean AMD's next line of card will cause 6XX cards to drop because they will be outdated and have a huge preformance disadvantage. AMD cards will be closer to Titan preformance and so that will cause the Titan to lower in price maybe $100-$200.

As with every other generation of graphics cards.  The cycle repeats.  I see where you're coming from, but then again, you're in the minority with a GTX 690. :P  I'm very satisfied when I upgraded from a GTX 580 to 670 sig 2.  The GTX 580 although could max the less demanding games, it could not keep up with games like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3 MP beta, The Witcher 2 without ubersampling at max still isn't 60fps, Borderlands 2 (can't keep up with physx), Metro 2033 even on DX9, and BF3 on 64 player maps/maxed out has dips.  

With my GTX 670, all of those games run like a dream, performing at stock GTX 680 level, for $400.  I can't say I'm unhappy, hehe.  On top of that, the card runs COOL, unlike my frying pan GTX 580, which goes back to what you were saying about wattage and OC ability.  The 580 could nuke an egg when OC'ed.

So wattage and OC ability aren't just ho-hum improvements.  They are actually excellent improvements over the Fermi's.  With what I have, I don't feel the need to buy a Titan, as it should keep up at the resolution I play at.  

The existence of Titan is good though.  Standards should always be broken, to make room for new improvements.  I just want to know the price of this thing lol.
