Nvidia unveils the GeForce GTX 780 Ti

Wonder why you are concerned with mainstream, when this are enthusiast cards. You also forget the same thing applies for multi monitor setups. It doesn't matter if you have one monitor with 3840?2160 or 2 1440p displays they are all in the range of 8 megapixel. Also already at 4 mega pixel most reviews show a lead of the 290x vs the titan and thats only one 1440p display which are quite affordable today.

Even the enthusiast don't have 4k monitors yet. 3500 dollars is a crap load to spend on monitors. In addition, someone that going to spend that much on a gaming monitor is best off getting multicards setups up anyway as a 290x can barely get things playable(plus why cheap out, you just spent 3500 on a monitor) and at that point the bottleneck put on the nvidia setup disappears. Two 1440 p monitors isn't really a resolution you see people use. multi monitor 2 monitors setups are stupid for gaming. Who wants a bezel in the center of their field of view. In general, 27" monitors are a poorer choice for multimonitor set up in general because their bezels are too big. In addition, to do a triple 27" monitor setup at at around 11mp, takes tremendous power and at that point your best getting one card for every screen.

Heck even 1080 eyefinity setup can be too stressful for a single 290x. I was just looking at techpowerup's review and anything recent beside grid 2(and the nvidia setup was also playable with this setup) didn't get playable frame rates.

2560*1440 only make up 2 percent of the monitors on steam hardware survey and that's with 27 imacs, 300 dollar korean monitors and the people who spend 700 on a dell or samsung. These are the people who already make up the enthusiast.

4k monitor setups are for the freakish enthusiast who spends a order of magnitude more than most people on setup like Vega. And those type of customers are the one in tens of thousands.
