I currently have an HD 7970 running with clock speed 1105mhz. I was looking at getting a GTX Titan. But in looking for one i see it runs at 876mhz, that seems considerably slower than my card. what is it that makes the titan better? is it just the amount of shaders. I always based my comparisons on clock speed before but i dont claim to have any real knowledge. so can anyone help me out and explain what my money would be going towards?
 
this is even with my overclock 1200and 6100mhz on the memory the texture and pixel rate are still higher on the titan
