Are you drunk, trolling, or serious? Either way, it makes no sense. The only reason Nvidia is ahead of the game right now is exactly because they can provide 1080's performance level at a 180w TDP budget. And competitors who cannot get that efficient release a Vega that caps at 300W for similar perf. Yeah, please, give me that mobile part, thanks! Titan is indeed the flagship, and also the nonsensical product in the Geforce line up, with its ever changing position in the market. It fundamentally has NO place in Nvidia's normal product stack, it serves as a 'can do' product, GV100 being the perfect example and proof of that. The full Gx100 die simply represents the 'concept/prototype car' for each gen. It is a product always looking for a market, preferably a new one. When Titan launched, that was the pro user that also did some gaming and wanted both but didn't need Quadro/Tesla. As many mindless idiot gamers bought Titans, and then felt 'ripped off' because a 780 followed suit (lol!) the next couple of Titans lost their compute and went for the raw gaming performance. Now, GV100 is a massive boost in deep learning, again, because the top end of the marketplace is asking for it, and suddenly we won't see much of Volta / Titan V in the gaming space.
Its not high price that makes it a high perf part, its the high perf that does that. And any combination with high efficiency is bonus.
Another statement then, to wipe all arguments about pricing off the table: consider inflation, and then look at prices again from the chart above. GPUs (MSRP that is) have become progressively cheaper.
lack of competition doesn't change how i define the high end parts, or the flag ship. you talk about high perf as if that makes it high end...today's cheap parts offer more performance than the high end from a few generation back so does that make them high end or mean that what was high end is no longer the case as it has less performance today?
kepler was where nv started to trick people into paying high end money for mid ranged parts. the titan was born from that lacklustre time. they had no need to release a real high end card so they pimped what should of been the 680ti as the titan and the marketing team spun it as a prosumer product. it tricked some into buying it while others bought into the mindset that is was worth while.
im not disputing that nvidia have great efficiency from their last couple of generation of cards but to call anything but the high end cards as high end is foolish. it is like claiming that the 3 pot, twin turbo 900cc engines are high end as they have the same (or better) power to weight ratio as a v8 :|
high end parts have high end, cooling and power, requirements to give the highest performance available. mid ranged parts have mid ranged requirements and can give great performance, but that does not make it high end.
