You are missing the point. If a GTX780 with little OC beats Titan, a GTX780Ti (which is coming in mid-November, cut the crap about "who knows when) might possibly beat 290X.

Besides 290X is probably OC from default, to have such high temps. The card is being pushed to its limits to be where it is.
