Fluffmeister, you are the voice of reason in a world of insanity - for half the money, a 780 will get you 90% of the performance of the worlds best single GPU solution, that's the sweet spot now, everything else is for vanity, unless you actually NEED more power, then it's more feasible to SLI two 780s for the price of 1 Titan of whatever color. The Titan is for those on unlimited budgets, less than 1% of all system builders.

GTX780 just miss little performance for normal games... It's weak for MSAA x4 and x8... from other side SLI is again more than 1000e and power consumption huge. I mean maybe 15-20% of power bill more every month for few hours gaming on such rig.
GTX780Ti is 150e more but exactly nice for newest games and next games will not need such strong cards. I mean not all of new games... For 699$ GTX780Ti Classified have great performance to serve until Maxwell show real face... Because I rather buy GTX580 from Fermi than GTX480, comparing that cards is exactly example what mean best of some architecture of GK104 compare to GK110... Because of that I'm not hurry to see Maxwell at all but I will upgrade at the end of cycle... Until then, many months will pass and many nice games will be finished on GTX780Ti....From other side Titan Black Edition are not interesting for me at all from first moment, not only because price... because that's reference GTX780Ti with double memory and for 2014/2015 3GB will be enough for me on 1920x1080... But again NVIDIA no mercy, card is expensive and I would choose non reference GTX780Ti with 3GB over Titan Black with 6GB and for same money (700-750e), for 900-1000$ that's not question at all pointless card and worth max 800e...But I repeat and for much less I would choose non reference Ti.

Doesn't the 780Ti still have somewhat crippled FP64 performance? Hasn't that always been the main draw for Titan cards, that they were cut down Tesla cards for half the price...

For me is CUDA cores most important and result in gaming. Titan is far inferior in gaming than GTX780Ti... and Titan Black will not give more fps in games than some non reference solution of Ti with close to 1100MHz base clock... Except for someone who have 2-3 cards and use really big resolution... I say 2-3 cards because for such resolution double memory is not first what you need, multi GPU congfiguration is most important and than more video memory.
My graphic upgrade for next 20-24 months should arrive these days.
