That sentence is 100% Titan mate and what I based my initial response, NOT what comes after as I didn't quote anything else, it's all there to read, you are spinning who/what/judgemental on price paid, I simply stated HALF the price, I haven't cast judgement in who buys what any where.

No secret we don't see eye to eye much with myself being a bbfb and your good self being Nvidia all the way, but that didn't stop me backing you/others up in the past and telling others to shut it when they judged your Titan purchase choice, did it?

No it isn't, as the 780 6GB was released long long before AMD released the 8GB 290X. You are just reading it completely wrong and twisting to your agenda. In fact, not once did I mention the Titan and only mentioned the 780 6GB, so you did well to mess that up :D

As for the rest, I don't have any beef with you, I just don't like misinformation or stupidity.

I am the 980s are place holders until the Titans turn up.

In the meantime I am having a bit of fun on the benches.

It is also useful to test the 980s myself @4K as the review sites print a load of garbage sometimes.:D

I built a green machine so I had to put some green cards in there.:D

No it didn't 8Gb 290X's were available May this year, about a month before 6 Gb 780's, which only left Titan being the first with 6GB so....

Misinformation and stupidity-depends on who reads this nonsense on whom it's apportioned to.:p

You do realise that the 290X 8GB (limited to OcUK) was released in May of this year and the 6GB 780 was released in March of this year (could be bought from anywhere in the world)?

Only now have the other partners released an 8GB model.

The GTX 780 did not exist when the Titan launched and no one was aware that it was going to come after the Titan.

How can you compare a Titan on launch day to a non existent product.

As to value for money the Titans are still relevant and in demand for 4K where as the time for a GTX 780 has passed. I would say the Titan is the best value for money high end card in the last few years and will still be going strong after the 4gb 290s and 980s have been replaced by SKUs with more VRAM for 4K.

Now why am I using a 4gb card to write this........
 
Just to upset everyone... or not..

I have a single 780Ti.

I quite easily manage 45-60 fps in ESO in towns and out.

ESO - everything maxed 4k resolution and AA enabled.

So one card with 3GB can manage some 4k games. Maybe not all but I think it's false to claim a single card isn't enough and that 3GB of vram isn't enough.

It depends on your situation and your requirements. Everyone is happy with consoles running at 30FPS so anything above 30 is a bonus.

Some people are more sensitive than others.

6GB wasn't released in March, it was announced late March:

8Gb 290X availability to purchase preceded 780 6GB availability to purchase which was late June iirc.

Even if the exclusive OcUK Sapphire 8GB 290X 8GB was before the 780 6GB (I quick looked but no real dates on either as I can find), the point still remains that nVidia were first to be able to run 4K and now I refer to the Titan, as that has been available since February 2013 and at that time of purchase, there was nothing that I could buy that was as fast or had enough VRAM for 4K. Price aside, the Titan was and is a great card.

I will say though, I did make a mistake, as I was positive that the 780 6GB was a good 6 months ahead of the 8gb 290X, so hands up on that. I stand by the fact that I was talking about the 780 6GB not costing the earth, as iirc, didn't the Sapphire 8GB cost £700+ on release? Not that I care about price personally.
