    If GTX 780 Ti is at least 10% faster than R9 290X, than it's going to be about as much faster than the NV Titan (if the rumored R9 290X benches are true). That's going to make some Titan owners not too happy,( specially the more recent buyers). Even many recent GTX 780 buyers are not going to be too happy I still see the price at newegg $660 ( most prices even higher).

    Well there are way too many if and speculations above, good we have only about 6 hours to wait to find the true.

    As per your overclocking concerns, I believe ALL cards are noise to run over clocked on reference air cooler heat sinks, but I did not have any Nvidia card card recently so anybody can correct me if I'm wrong.
    Titan owners should be mad at themselves for buying a 1000 dollar card. No one forced them to buy it and even cards like gtx 780 classifieds which can be 10% faster in some reviews are already 699.

    I wish no one bought Titan in the first place and there was a price drop in place already. People buying 1000 dollar single GPU videocards sends a bad message to videocards makers as I have said earlier.

    I think anyone from a mile a way should have known titan was a bad long term investment. That is of course unless they really need 6gb of memory and uncrippled DP. In addition, I would hope the people who bought titan have a lot of disposable income to the point where such a purchase doesn't cause them that much grief.
