I think you just have a problem accepting that because you want Nvidia to look bad. Guess what: Nobody here cares about your bias.
Sure mate. Nvidia just decided they were making to much money, why bother selling a $999 card earlier, much better sell it later and see AMD gain market share and then undercut it in performance and price just a few months later. It's just a K20x with higher clock? Do you mean more 130mhz, more RAM, faster RAM, wider bus etc...

Just got our supermicro station with a new K20 gpu card. Tried a few benchmarks of our code and NVIDIA sdks and K20 was always 10-40% slower [vs GTX680] depending on the work load..
I guess it's easier to rip off workstation guys, specially if they need dp performance.


But the point is, it was ready? Isn't Titan a refresh? Isn't AMD late because Titan is a refresh? You greens need to get you story straight.
