    If you look at more detailed benchmarks, you will find that both cards perform roughly the same per clock at 4k. Sometimes one is in front, sometimes the other:

    I do trust HARDOCP in game testing about 100% more than PCG any testing and I speak some german plus even if PCG is right and they only traded punches at 4K it still does make R9-290X 100% better deal. I'm not ready to pay $2000 for 2 Video Cards.
    For me Titan was not worth $1000 about 8 months ago and definitely not now when it's dead.

    AMD critized Fermi but now, they are on it. (Fermi was good overclocker though)
    As you say, give up your red glasses look with your own eyes what you're are looking about : A hot power hog card with no margin and looks what nVidia can do in silence with mesurate power consumption and important OC capacbilities when you pass the 1.21v limit.

    edit : And who cares about Titan ? 780 beats it since many months for way less money. Titan means nothing, it just show that GK110 has almost a year in advance compared to this opponent.
    There is no need for me to learn French, I did learn English as third language so I can read many more reliable reviews. I already explained why for me the R9-290X is by far the best deal, also I'm very sorry I can't take any advice from green glasses people. You also do not need to take any advice from me, but please note this is AMD video card thread.

    Also GTX 780 did not beat Titan many months ago, actually it still does not beat it today. Just think a little bit, if you were right Nvidia would not need to announce GTX 780 Ti
