Who says anything about selling at a loss? The same silicon is used for multiple SKUs. TITAN being a card that sold for over $1000 (in many parts of the world its price hit as much as $1500) NVIDIA *could* charge that. Margins for NVIDIA on TITAN are stupidly high, while being quite low for the AIB partners. NVIDIA has a hell of a lot of headroom to play with the price, much more than people realise. TITAN could have launched at a price of several hundred dollars less and still turned a profit - but NVIDIA is in the business of making money, not saving other people money. They charge what the market dictates. When you consider how quickly the TITAN sold out time after time, I don't think even NVIDIA could have predicted how well it would do, and this shows that it wasn't "overpriced." Expensive or unaffordable to many, sure, but not overpriced.

  • What clocks for both cards? In 3DM11 there is no difference between Quiet and Uber mode for the 290X but about a 6% difference between a stock Titan (warmed up) and a Titan@1 GHz (power and temp target raised but still warmed up). Question is if Nvidia raised the 80C temp target vs Titan or not and if/how that affects boost clocks.
  • Within as in "below" or "above"?
Stock clock speed on the 780 Ti puts it between 3 and 5 % below a 290X running at around 1150 MHz on the Performance Preset.

By the way, I'm pretty sure the 780 Ti will use a new revision of GK110, not GK180. I don't see any need for validating ECC, etc on a consumer desktop card. GK110 can indeed have more CUDA cores.
