Is anyone anticipating a serious price reduction of the Titan when 780 Ti is released?

When the Titan first came out, it was easily the best single GPU. However, there are now a few cards that compete closely with the Titan, some of which actually outperform it. With the release of the R9 "Titan-killer" 290X, many anticipated the Titan's price to be reduced because it performs very similarly to the 290X, at twice the price. However, only the GTX 770 and 780 witnessed a price reduction. Now, the GTX 780 Ti is about to be released, and that is definitely going to outperform the Titan (unless you're strictly using the card for floating-point calculations). I cannot imagine that nVidia would maintain the Titan's $1000 price tag if there is a card from the same family that performs better for $700. The Titan is still a phenomenal card, but it is, and has been, overpriced for a long time. Now that a card from the same family beats the Titan, there is no excuse for nVidia to keep the Titan's current price.

So, what do you guys think? When is the Titan going to witness a price reduction? When? Also, how much is the price going to be reduced?

I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say.

No, its geared towards idiots and non-gamers (due to its compute power), the price is irrelevant. The 780ti will be significantly faster, cheaper and be available with aftermarket coolers, even if theres a drop to $500, which would never happen, the one benefit it has over the 780, its 6GB VRAM, is no where near as important as an aftermarket cooler.

In short, it wont drop in price, because there will always be people with more money than sense.

A little pessimistic, but interesting view. I would hope that if someone is going to spend that type of money on a card, they have a good reason and/or have done the proper research!

Yup.
It's geared towards designers.
I don't see it dropping in price.

The EVGA 780 967MHz outperforms the Titan and currently costs HALF the price at $500.

The 780Ti is SUPPOSED to fall between the 780 and Titan in performance I assume at $700 or so. Put a custom EVGA cooler on that badboy and the Titan gets its ass spanked even worse.

Even IF the Titan dropped in price it would have to higher than a stock 780Ti by a fair margin. More expensive and LESS performance? No thanks.

the recent price drop already indicate that Titan will not get price drop even a card with half of it's price going to beat it. when nvidia comes out with Titan they were clearly mentioning the card as gaming card but at the same time also position the card as an entry level professional card hence the asking price. from what i heard so far 780 Ti will beat Titan in gaming performance but unlike the Titan the double precision performance will be locked just like the rest of 700 series
