There are so many odd things with this Titan card, starting with Nvidia using the same name as the last Titan again.

Then there's the specs:

Not only is Nvidia using the same GDDR5X of the 1080 instead of HBM 2.0, but it doesn't even have 50% more cores and the frequencies are much lower.

I'm not a fan of SLI/X-fire, but you'll get more performance buying two 1080 and SLI them, and for about the same money.

Is this any different from the last Titan X? People will wait for the 1080ti with the same power but less expensive.

Also I'm not sure why people are so crazy about HBM. GDDR5X is a good enough step up from GDDR5 and is absolutely sufficient for 4k.
