Only way this drops in price signficantly(200 dollars or so), is if Nvidia releases another edition that has double precision disabled.

There was very little reason for Nvidia to enable this for consumers. However for the professional market, it makes for a very cheap GPU compute card. I wish this feature was disabled because, Nvidia knows that people that want this card for the compute features and don't need quadro drivers or support are easily willing to pay 1 grand for these cards.

Until yields are better, supply is better, Nvidia will over charge for these cards. Really the 899 was bad enough but 1k. The fact that these are still sold out however shows Nvidia really did its marketing and price analysis correctly.
