Let's hope that's the case, but as someone else mentioned on OC, they had pre-released GTX 680 at $566:

(now, obviously that screenshot could be a fake, but you never know)
The presumptive price for the 780 does seem pretty high, but it's to be expected I suppose. The Titan came out in Feb. this year, and nVidia must already have the 780 all planned out at that time. It's too bad that it only come with 3GB of VRAM.
According to this article (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-inside-killzone-shadow-fall), Killzone for PS4 uses 3GB of its memory for its graphical components. My take on this is that if a first gen game for PS4 already uses that much memory for 1080P, anybody that has...
When compared to 680/7970/7950, yes, $750 does seem like a bit much, but when you put it against their flagship Titan (which was released just a few months ago) it's really quite competitive.

So let's see if I've got this right... we potentially have the 7xx cards coming out next month. The flagship GTX780 could either be a Titan LE or an enhanced GTX680. If it's the former, the price could be anywhere from $600 to $750, and if it's the latter, then the price would be <$500?
I get what you're saying, but from nVidia's perspective the whole point about the 700 series could be just to release something until Maxwell is ready. There are still quite a bit of people who don't have a 600 series card.
While I understand what you're saying, I think you're forgetting the fact that vast majority of people who have such PC are not just using them for gaming. We're also graphic artists, programmers, & etc.
