On a consumer level, yeah, it is.

Everything seems so affordable now after the GTX 690's price tage. I'll take one.

It's literally the best technology when it come to single GPUs.
Not arguing that, I was just correcting this part; "performance far beyond a 690."
Full potential? You don't use your PC a lot do you.
I can crush my 680s in no time with some downsampling, AA and cranking up the details in most games.

Bad timing, and not worth it thanks to Moore's law, unless you're an extreme enthusiast.
Similar performing GPUs will be available for 1/4th the price by the time you'd actually start seeing any benefit from this.
Then again, this beast will probably drop to about 1/2 to 1/3rd its price, too.

That's not true duder.
Sure, you could play every game ever at native res and get 1200FPS and be like "lol what a waste of money", or you could actually exploit the graphics card and do some really incredible things.
Dark Souls at 3240p is a magical thing, and cranking games up really leads to some amazing visuals.
Go look at downsampled Mirrors Edge shots.

lol, why bother.
Will we ever even use it all given Orbis/Durango?

It is a limited run enthusiast card. So don't see what's bad timing about it. You have direct benefit as well. With some downsampeling or multi monitor setup.

For consumer grade high end pc components from big brand manufactures it is.
Obviously better hardware exists for the private and business sectors but if your a High end PC gamer your going to go with AMD or Nvidia for GFX card and the GTX 690 is the current limit.

Also lots of enthusiasts and simmers love playing in triple screen configurations, sometimes up to 3 * 30" displays at 2560 each, niche stuff but thats exactly nVidias clientele for this card.
My guess is that they will be hard to find as not many will be produced and they will all be sold in an instant, same thing happens with all the extreme cards like this one.

People who buy it also have too much money to throw at stuff anyways.
Nothing wrong with it imo. If I where rich, I'd rather buy a Golf than a BMW 5 series and buy me some of them Titan cards.

Able to play Witcher 2 60fps 1080p with UberSampling?
That's CPU limited, IIRC.
Always funny to read responses on something like this.
This card is not aimed at you who play on 1080p screens (unless its 120hz), or anything less. You can get a 660ti and call it a day for that. I game at 2560x1600 on max settings. My setup requires that I have SLI in order to keep frames at close/at/or above 60fps. If I shut off on of my 580s, my frames dip to the 30s. This card will eliminate my need for 2 cards, cut down heat, and use less power. All while gaining performance at my resolution.
Just sayin...there are situations out there where a card like this is welcomed. Downsampling, 3D Surround, 1440p/1600p on 3 monitors etc. Benchmarking too.

True. If my job paid 2x more than it does, I'd honestly be tempted to just get one or two. I'd be OK for gaming for years.

What the hell, no thanks.
Might pick up an older model if they get a price drop though.

Isn't it less wattage than a 690?
If its the same card as the Tesla model it won't have a tdp higher than 250w
Edit: 235W http://www.anandtech.com/show/6446/nvidia-launches-tesla-k20-k20x-gk110-arrives-at-last

It will use less power than most SLI setups whilst being faster than SLI'd GTX 580s and around par with GTX 670s. All this whilst being less noisy, using less power, creating less heat and best of all sidestepping all of the annoyances of multi GU setups that make them worthless anyway.
Yeah. It looks sexy. :< It is to be admired from afar though. xD

Everything changes if you look at things with a different perspective....
Back in the day, simmers playing Flight Sim would LAN several computers in order to play the game with more than one monitor, back then those machines where way more than $1000 each.
Now you have a GPU that can achieve the same thing using less power, less problem to setup and way better support.
Seems like a bargain.

Most likely.
Will use less power than my 580SLI setup, but provide a nice measurable amount of performance over it.
Well that's not bad then as long as your not running SLI. Then again if you can run this SLI, your power bill means jack shit to you,

SO POWERFULLL, but, why you would need it ?
And then you see the really SMALL price asked for it.
Sorry Nvidia, ill stick a little more with the 480 SLi

Timing is completely irrelevant in these cases.
These aren't cards that aim to build a huge market, these top tier models are essentially flagship prototypes of technology that pave the way to their future lineups.
And yes, they are deliberately intended for enthusiasts only.

You buy this, in 5 years it will be worthless.
If you buy 2 $200 gpu(1 now and 1 in 4 years), you will be better performance by the end of the 5 years.

3D vision over 3 or more screens, ubersampling, etc etc.
