But either way, if the price is $650 and is slightly faster or equal to a Titan (not counting power/heat) why would you be disappointed?
Because the 780 has been out at the same price as you're quoting, for several months at this point, and performs around the same. In short it's basically nothing new for the market, other than hopefully causing a small price war. Also, the reviews with 20million-X antialiasing that no one would actually ever want to game at since you literally couldn't see the difference even in screenshots without 400% magnification let alone in motion, are definitely a shame to benchmark in. Give us some actual benchmarks of how people play games, i.e. max settings for example with 2x MSAA + FXAA resulting in a framerate of 80, rather than 8x MSAA with no FXAA leaving tons of motion shimmering and no transparency/alpha antialiasing, while also leaving shader aliasing untouched and crippling your framerate to unplayable 30's.

While I agree Furmark is not a great test due to its unrealistically high load, the cards are on even footing there so you can definitely draw some info out of that testing.
