1) Titans cherry picked. [citation required]
2) 90% of more of its performance with a 450$ aftermarket card overclocked?
90%? You could buy an aftermarket GTX 780 OC card for 500-530$ and get 112-120% of Titan performance. The Titan is designed for CUDA development and super high resolution surround gaming with 6 GB of VRAM. But if you want a cheaper card, you can overclock the 780 and get a card that is up to 20% faster than the Titan.
The aftermarket 290 would be a good alternative. It performs really well. Very well even. But let's analyze this a bit further. I'm doing some statistics analysis right now, which seem to indicate that the chances of getting an aftermarket R9-290 for less than 500$ in the US is less than .05%. For some reason, there's a greater than 75% chance that an aftermarket R9-290 will cost you more than an overclocked GTX 780 aftermarket card. That's what my quick statistics analysis is indicating to me right now.
3) I'm trying to find anyone who mentioned 1.3ghz in this thread. Nope. Not finding it.
3) That's why the joker post suggests. Again the "GK110 chips going far from 1.2Ghz" history.
2)I think i write something wrong. I'm brazilian. I said that a overclocked aftermarket r9 290 can make competition to a 1.2-1.3Ghz GK110 powered card.
1)This is more of a assumption, knowing real histories of Titans going far from 1.2Ghz with modded bioses.
And no, Titan is not a acessible GPGPU product, but is a TOP class graphics card of its time. GPGPU capabilities of the card is a bonus to gamers that spent the biggest price ever on a video card.
More like 96% c4c, r290x is AMDs highest binned card, Titan is not.
I'm not sure what your last sentence is supposed to say. You want me to post 1400MHz Titan results?
290x is not a binned card, not on max overclocking aspect. If 3dmark site list 290(s) averaging 1150Mhz on air overclocks, it's because people are really getting there with the r9 cards. Site data from its competitor(GTX 78x) suggests the AvgOC achieved on cards is less than 50Mhz superior.
