I'm disappointed, I use 64 bit floating point operations and the old GTX 580 offers more power than the 780 Ti. Ah well.
Workstation cards don't even really utilize DP. DP is great for crunching numbers and scientific stuff, not so great for running CAD/CAM or rendering. That is why Nvidia segmented their professional VGA's. Quadro uses single precision and Tesla uses double precision. Thats how they force you to make 2 seperate costly purchases now. Fermi actually had a good balance of both.
