OMG, there's also a factory overclocked Titan on the the second chart which performs exactly the same as 780SC while being two times more expensive.

Comparing factory overclocked boost 2.0 to reference, which is also on the chart for both Titan and the 780 clearly show reference vs reference Titan is faster...
So you're criticizing Nvidia for slotting in their mid-range card against AMD's high end card, despite similar performance? That's a whole different topic!
Do you have a link where Nvidia suggested Titan would be the only GK110 chip released?
Reference GTX 780 is like 10% slower, isn't it? Or are you comparing the factory overclocked aftermarket cooled 780 to the stock Titan again?
They wouldn't release a 2880 shader GK110, it doesn't have the ROP to Shader ratio needed to make it work, which is why even the GTX 780 looks so good against Titan. From a gaming perspective the GTX 780 is a more well balanced card. Whereas Titan is shader heavy with 1/3 DP because it's not just a gaming card, it's a HPC card as well.
Sounds like you're delusional, the performance gap between GK104 and GK110 is simply too high and it had been nearly a year since GK104 came out... Where do you think Nvidia was going to get the chips to refresh their top end product stack, GK104? This is Jen-Hsun Huang we're talking about here, he probably hated GK104 as x80 even if it competed that isn't what he's about.
The GTX 680 was an underwhelming flagship, it competed against AMD's flagship card watt for watt and was well below 200w while being noticeably faster than the last gen 240w flagship. Nvidia could have called it the GTX 660 Ti and sold it for $500, or $250, or something else, who knows... The only thing we know for sure is they were competitive with their mid-range gpu in the flagship slot and gained market share with it.
I'd really like to see your evidence that Nvidia insinuated that Titan would be the only GK110 gpu on the market before going to 20nm.
OMG, there's only factory overclocked Titan on that chart which performs exactly the same.
You understand how boost 2.0 works, how designs like the EVGA dual fan suck in SLI, and how Titan was meant for SLI?
Right, because Nvidia always releases their low end prior to their high end cards............
You made a mistake, instead of trying to assign blame somewhere else, perhaps you should use this as an opportunity to better yourself.
Making baseless assumptions where you ended up being wrong is your problem, not Nvidia's. They follow pretty much the exact same release cadence every generation.
Guess what's next? GTX 770? No way!
I dont know why you are being such a jerk about it. Lepton is right.
Quit trying to act like you knew the 780 was gonna come out in June and be within single digits of the Titan. I read every piece of information on the internet leading up to and immediately following the release and then waited a week to order. If there would have even been a hint the 780 was coming out I wouldnt have bought the Titan. All anybody online was talking about was complaining about the price.
NV should have at least released the specs of the 780 and let the consumer decide if they wanted to pay extra for the ram and to have the card a few months early. Leptons example of how Intel handles these things is spot on.
I think what would be telling is if NV had an exchange program your like new Titan for a 780 and a check for 350 dollars. I would be willing to bet that about 75% of Titan owners would jump all over it.
At the end of the day I got what I paid for and it was my decision to hit the add to cart button. Lepton has already pretty much said this same thing 3 or 4 times.
How people on this site can attack other hardware enthusiasts and stick up for NV in this matter is really hillarious.

Why did anyone think $1k was worth it for a single GPU? Buyers remorse was inevitable.
How do you feel about your purchase in the light of incoming GTX780? If it's going to land at 599-650$, I will be pretty angry for basically wasting 300$ because I feel Titian only warrants a 100$ price premium over GTX780 because GTX780 is only slightly more cut-down and it's going to be 10% slower at most. If it indeed lands at 599$-650$ or even 700$ I'm never going to buy a single GPU that costs over 500$.

Funny how I don't even have to read it to know what he wrote. I blame everyone and other BS, even though in the OP I said the blame is on me, I knew how NV acts very well and I should have known better, but I can still criticize how they handled this generation. If you can't understand written English maybe you should write on a forum in your native language? Mid-range card selling as a high-end, releasing a high-end card and suggesting that it may be the only consumer GK110 card to be ever released, then 2 months later releasing a card that performs the same for 60% of its price. Now if they released a full GK110 with 2880 shaders for 750$ I have no doubt that people would still condone their release cadence. They didn't name Titan a GTX785 because it would be clear that a lesser GK110 card is coming, so they created an illusion that this card is something special. They used people's desire to get a true next-generation performance in a single card because GTX680 was such an underwhelming card. 8 pages and only a few people actually answered the question I asked.
People getting screwed over for buying something that in the end turned out to be an unwise decision is as old as commerce itself.
That is why due diligence is required, unless one wishes to be a fool and be quickly parted from their money.
No buyers remorse here, sorry.
But then agin, I knew what I was buying, what it cost, what I would do with it...and what was around the corner.
You're responding to a member you ignored. If there was ever any evidence you're an impulsive person and make bad decisions on your own accord, this is it.
You make a post in a public forum to criticize for your own mistake, others are free to criticize you. You aren't the victim, you're the sucker.
No way Aigo. I know these cards are uber pricey and I'm not really happy about it.
And Titan will be the only card with 6GB.
