I simply don't get why is Nvidia launching this card now. They don't have competition in the high end market and can't supply enough GP104 chips to meet the demand for its 1070/1080 cards, and yet they launch this card now? And a card that's not even 50% more powerful than the 1080.

I don't get it.

 

  • Because they can
  • Give the Titan X crowd and 980 Ti crowd an occasion to spend money
  • Halo effect

 

The number of consumer that can afford this is even lower than the ones that can buy a 1070 or 1080, cards that people want to buy but can't do it because there's not enough stock of them.

The Titan/-Ti crowd are looking for a really worthy upgrade, and for HBM. I don't think they'll fall in love over this card. Don't be surprised if you start seeing posts like "I'll wait for the real Titan" and such.
