Is it still worth buying GTX TITAN now?

only if you have a very specific need for 6GB of VRAM, otherwise its crazy.

I'd hope we see a 6GB 780Ti at some point, or perhaps just wait on maxwell

Otherwise no, titan is more expensive and slower.
 
new, no. Second hand definitely (price dependant).


The possibility of the 790 GTX @ 5GB per core could possibily make the Titan completely redundant for gamers.
 
for the vast majority of uses one or two 780ti's or even 780's would be the better choice (in actual FPS terms the 780 is not massively behind the ti and overclocks very close - but the ti is the "absolute best" if you really wanted to go for that)

the only time you would consider going Titan would be 3-4 cards for extreme high resolutions like 4K or 7680x1440, if you have the money to burn and gaming is your primary hobby

why I cannot use 3-4 780ti for extreme high resolutions like 4K or 7680x1440?

most games are not optimized for dual-core card like 690 or 790 in near future.
Playing with dual-core cards may cause problem.

6GB 780Ti :p:p it has been proved it's just a rumour ,isn;t it?
 
Titan is a good buy if you're running 4k res, otherwise don't bother and grab a 780(Ti or not)

but even at 4k res, one titan would struggle so you'd need several.

So £79 more than what I paid on launch day. Titan is EOL, so they are in no rush to sell them and certainly will not be selling them cheaper.

Yer, I looked around for the possibility of Tri-SLI but couldn't see these cheaper prices anywhere :D

VRAM, I've seen well over 4GB usage at 7680x1440 in a couple of situations
now I know that usage =/= required, but for me if I was setting up on 7680x1440 today then I wouldn't be risking either 3 or 4GB I would want the most I could get

but if I didn't already have 3 titans I wouldn't be buying 3 titans now, I would make do with a lower resolution like triple 1080 and stick with 780's / 290's until the 20nm cards come out

and yes it's against forum rules to post the name and price of a competitor just how you have :)
