What's this talk of overclocked cards beating stock other cards? Quit being petty. Stock card vs stock, overclocked vs overclocked. If the 780 doesn't beat the Titan or the 290x with both at factory, then it doesn't beat it. That leaves the two fastest cards in the comparison for top dog. It IS at the moment R9 290x, then Titan, and in third Gtx 780. Whether GTX 780ti changes that remains to be seen.
