Gtx 780ti to be faster than Titan, will battle R9 290x

[lutjens]

Way to cannibalize Nvidia... Sounds like a great card, but why not just drop Titan Price to $650 and 780 to $500? Allow some factory overclocked Titans and you've accomplished the same thing without needing to kill a 8 month old product.

My guess is that NVidia doesn't want to permit access to the un-neutered compute abilities of Titan at that much lower price point. AMD, on the other hand, has not restricted the compute performance of its cards. The fact that AMD is giving their compute performance away for much less than NVidia is the thing that hurts NVidia the most by eroding market share in their most valuable categories...and increases the likelihood that CUDA will lose traction in the market.
