If there are price cuts forget all about the GTX 780 and see if you can pick up a cheap Titan. The reason i say this is the 6gb of vram will give them a lot of future proofing and will still be going strong after the GTX 780 is history.

I'm not convinced 3gb vram is going to be pushed any time soon. Plus the Titan would have to be significantly reduced in price for it to be a consideration. I'd rather save money and overclock a 780.
To be honest I'm quite happy to wait for a worthy upgrade from my 7950 that doesn't cost the earth.
$300 price cut on the GTX Titan, wave goodbye to £300 in its new resale value.
Hello sub £500 R9 290X
+1 to that. My old 580 at launch was 399.99 and I wouldn't ever consider spending more than that on a card.
Now we're seeing 499, 599 and higher I'm just dumbfounded.

I predict 290X very slightly faster than Titan, if not then almost matching it.
290X £499
Nvidia drops Titan to £550 while the 780 gets dropped to less than 290X making it the most attractive card.
Nvidia then announces new single gpu next month that's faster than 290X and Titan for £600. Nvidia steals the show again with fastest single gpu while the 780 flies off the shelves at sub 290X prices.

Ho ho ho. It must be Christmas!
No chance - the market says that nVidia can price higher and still sell the same (or more) amount of comparative cards to AMD. Rightly or wrongly and for whatever reason this is currently what the market is saying to AMD and NVIDIA.
I think another couple of good generations from AMD (like the 5000 and 7000 series) will stop this to a large degree, especially coupled with their excellent Gaming Evolved promotion(s).

Guess am lucky that I no need pay VAT so a GTX 780 costs me £399....
And you're still using 580's?
Waiting to see what price drops NVidia are going do when the new AMD GPU comes out..And you're still using 580's?
As £800 for two GTX 780's is still more then I feel like spending on just the GPU upgrade side..

That makes perfect sense, if you can get em even cheaper than £399 then you're defo onto a winner.
I doubt Nvidia will drop their prices. after all the nsheep will buy whatever the cost
Made me think of this
And then that made me remember this I had seen a while ago.
