It's going to be most interesting to see what effect this is going to have on the current market. If they really have something that beats a titan for half the price, well I figure most titan owners won't actually care, if you can blow the best part of a grand on a single card, they'll be laughing, because they know they will be getting 2 cards for the same price! I still don't see the whole $ 600 thing happening here, it NEVER has, as the UK computer public ALWAYS get royally screwed when anything comes to our shores. Still reckon the top end will be maybe 699, better than a titan, but only saving maybe 100 quid. The funny thing is this, if you are a proper graphics fan, you could actually fly to America stay overnight, buy some graphics cards and fly back and still be cheaper than buying in the uk.. Still will be interesting for sure..

I'm in the same boat, just got a 7970 and will Crossfire it when i get paid, know the new ones arent gonna be able to beat that for the current price points.

but its still nice seeing tech progress, even if things are a little slower these days!

I bought myself a voodoo 3-3000 when i went to america as a kid, got the AGP version and my motherboard didnt have a AGP slot :(

My grandad kindly took the card for himself and bought me the PCI version back in the UK!
 
Seen as everyone else is speculating in going to throw in my 2 cents.
IM thinking the top end one will be trading blows with a 780 and for £450.
So will be extremely underwhelming. Hope in wrong tho!!! Looking to get one if good. :)
 
I speculate that for most users it will trade blows with the GTX780 however many of the benchmarks will be at extreme settings so the card to looks equal to Titan though at these settings the games are not playable on any card, < 40fps.

Cost - similar to GTX780
