6GB 780ti

So what you're saying is no one should ever buy a card because in a years time something better will be out ?? I bought mine back in may @ gtx780 launch when i saw Nvidia was only give the GTX 780 3gb of vram. What you should say is that all those stupid people who bought gtx780 with 3gb of memory can now finally buy a card that has enough memory for SLI configurations. You think titan owners are shocked nvidia came out with a card thats marginally better a year down the road???

In nVidia's quote they said they are waiting to sell the remaining Titans left in stock... what does that have to do with Titans that were sold before information of the 780 ti was released? Obviously new hardware comes out all the time, its how the computer hardware market works... Don't get all pissy with me because you felt the need to spend a grand on graphics card and feel the need to defend yourself because I wasn't even referring to you. My post's main point was to show nvidia doesn't care how much people spend on hardware. Nvidia feels it can demand whatever pricetag it wants for a product because people will pay for it anyway. As for the stupid people, that is directed to people who would buy a Titan RIGHT NOW, instead of waiting for a 780 ti 6gb.

Agreed. Hence the $1000 price tag on the gtx690 that never went down... ever.. I am pissed at Nvidia for shafting people with a $650 graphics card with only 3gb of vram when GTX 680's were already available for quite some time with 4gb of vram. You hit the nail on the head. Even though the Titan was really meant for people who need double floating performance, they held the vram hostage (crippling the 780) to force gamers who didnt need the compute power to buy the $1000 titan.
