Nvidia can probably do anything they want with the same hardware across GeForce, Quadro, Tesla. All via software.
So guys, it's really not that important. Titan X is a gamers card. Leave it at that.
What's interesting to me about all the "DAAAAAAMMMNNNNN Eeeen-VE-DE-AA for milking profits from honest gaming fans!" threads is:
What would you prefer?
An AMD like situation where the company is always one step ahead of the Grim Reaper, low on R&D funds, low on staff, long time between releases and corners cut like the leftover HSFs on the 290 reference models?
Or making big money and putting out nice parts pretty regularly?
I'm sure some internet pundits "who could surely do it better" will say "But tRollo, somewhere between the profiteering and the flirting with bankruptcy is a happy medium where they make a fair profit and we get cards!".
To such naivete' I can only respond:
Sorry, Nvidia exists to take as much of your money as they can by any legal means. They are not your special friends, they are not concerned with anything but your wallet. AMD would do the same thing if they could.
