I think your issue may be with the exponential scaling of GPU cost at the highest end. As a consumer, you wish that a card ~2x the Titan in tflops only cost twice as much, but it doesn’t work that way for either platform, and of course isn’t helped by the workstation card market being smaller by unit than the retail/ORM gaming card market.

That said I did not downvote you; it’s an understandable frustration.

The Titan RTX is a consumer GPU, not a workstation GPU. The cards are designed for different workloads, so are not really comparable.

What parts of the chip do they burn off for the consumer version?

It has ecc memory, more memory, and the design allows for 4 stacked together, making it ideal for deep learning workflows.
