Nvidia unveils the GeForce GTX 780 Ti

[boxleitnerb]

So we go from 290x is better than Titan, fact.
To "we can't compare 290x to Titan because GTX780 is basically Titan for cheap."
To "even footing 290x doesn't beat Titan."

Did you overlook where I said "on even ground"? I'll reiterate for you:
quiet mode (stock setting) vs. Titan stock setting
OR
uber mode vs Titan@maxed targets

Titan and the 290X are equally fast if you value a fair comparison - that's a fact. Don't fall for most of the English speaking reviews - they are biased towards AMD (maybe not even intentionally) by not or not properly pre-heating their cards and by testing uber mode vs Titan/780 stock settings with a temp target of 80C.

Read the review links I posted if you don't believe me. And don't quote selectively, quote whole sentences.

Fermi doesn't pull only 235w. It can pull over 300w in gaming situations.
290x isn't competing against a card that has a max power consumption of 180w.
GTX480 was consistently pulling ~100w more in gaming situations to give ~10% more performance.
290x is using ~30-40w more to beat the competition by ~15% on average.

Source for your 300+W claim?
The 290X certainly can, 306,88W:

You do understand how an average works, right? In some games a card may pull more than the average, in others less. You won't find better power consumption data than what I posted.
And maybe you also overlooked where I said that the 290X wasn't as awful in perf/W compared to the competition as Fermi was.

And you are the one who should make up your mind. What is it now - Titan killer? Then compare it to Titan which it doesn't beat. Or GTX 780 killer? Okay, if you want to call 10-15% a "killer", fine. But then also use the GTX 780 power numbers instead of Titans: 189W (GTX 780) vs 239W (290X quiet mode). That is a hefty 50W more.
