So great to see no f(*&ing backplate - I really dislike those as without agressive OC those don't give any beneffit but effects airflow quite a lot in tight builds =)
Curious how it's going to be with aftermarket coolers, but I believe some companies will find a way to circumvent nVidias restrictions like Gigabyte done for Titan Black releasing their
Windforce cooler bundled with card =)

Good we (Octane users) now have outercore feature and most are satisfied with 6gb anyway;
The Titan X prices compared with performance related to the Black: 27% more performance for 34% higher price,
so I the price of the Titan X is right on, having this 12gB ion board...
yeah, it's price is very reasonable =) it's not cheap by any means..but it's far from what Teslas/quadros cost..

Maybe Nvidia learned their lesson form the 3K price when they started off with the Titan Z?
Still... if you can grab a TitanZ for 1500 euro... and you have space in you rcase... I would grab it, but they are hard to find.
Yeah Z will become extinct soon..like 780 6Giger - though correct me if I wrong, but it's technically still produced, haven't heard nvidia qouted for discontinueing those =) just original price is "a bit" too much =DDD
