Not a particularly shocking outcome, but the time it took was short

When NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, it had the honor of bragging that it had a single-GPU graphics card that performed just as well, if not better, than the GeForce GTX 690 dual-GPU model.

Even so, however, there weren't very high hopes for the graphics card as far as product shipments were concerned, not really.

Sure, there was a lot of hype and positive advertising, but the video board was very expensive and was even shipped in limited quantities, at least at first.

Nevertheless, in spite of the $1,000 / €1,000 price and the fact that the board is overpowered, it sold quite well. At least in high-end marketing terms.

Which is to say, despite only having been available for sale for three months, the GeForce GTX Titan has outsold the GTX 690 that has been shipping for over a year.

“Even we were surprised just how popular the GeForce GTX Titan was and still is. Titan sold a lot more than the GTX 690, for example. It’s still selling very well,” said Ben Berraondo, the senior PR manager for GeForce at Nvidia.
