The 780 eclipsed it how again? It was cheaper with half the vram and 1 SMX less. That's hardly a better or more efficient design. It was just a further cut down card to make the price more pallatable for the masses that wanted GK110 performance. There's no arguing Titan was a poor value and always has been, those of us that bought it knew this from day one. However, calling it a professional card is ridiculous because it isn't one. It's DP might come in useful for some low budget developer but for anyone else serious about doing professional work, they'll use NVIDIA's professional grade cards with certified drivers.
Now let's see how NVIDIA describes Titan: "Introducing GeForce® GTX TITAN.
Bring the powerful NVIDIA® Kepler
architecture technology that drives
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's
Titan supercomputer to your
next gaming experience."
It could be priced at a million dollars and still be a gaming card. Price
erformance does not qualify whether a card is a gaming card or non-gaming card. The fact that this has to even be pointed out is pretty sad.
