I have been told that while the 780 ti is better for gaming, the Titan is better for other applications like video editing/etc. I can't find a source for this anywhere at the moment, but I know of at least two people who I consider to be semi intelligent who bought a Titan instead of a 780 ti for this purpose. I still have my doubts, though.

Yeah im pretty sure gaming nothing tops the 780ti in single GPU but for computational power the titan does get the edge but then i believe ADM/ATi card are better than the titan in that regard + the titan is overpriced as hell lol

It really depends on what you're doing, but there are two main benefits the Titan has over the 780 Ti.

- The Titan's 6 GB of VRAM is very useful for applications than need more than the 3 GB the 780 Ti has to offer (although I keep hearing rumors of a 6 GB 780 Ti coming in the future.)
- The Titan has several times as much double precision floating point computing power as the 780 Ti (according to Wikipedia around 7x as much.)

On the flip side the 780 Ti has more cores than a Titan and a higher clock speed which obviously helps with gaming.

This. This can be important for CGI in Hollywood movies, when using a GPU-based render farm.

Like i said, in some specific scenario Titan can bring benefits but if we compare prices and the fact that not many of us needs a titan, especially gamers, then 780ti is the best option for single GPU card on the market atm.
