Title says it all. Why would someone buy a Titan? GTX 770 2 way SLI dominates it, and you get those for about 400$ less. Heck, you could do a 3 way GTX 770 sli and BLOW the Titan out of the water for the same price. What's the point?

lol true but why SLI? I never got the point of doing that either. Gains are not great but then again maybe because I care about budget...

2x 770 = 1x 770 and then 1x 970 for about the same price, granted 2 years later but the 770 alone is great.

For gaming? For the memory bandwidth + 6GB vram, however, that really only matters when you're using large multi-monitor or 4K resolutions. Apart from that, the Titan is the only non-professional series Nvidia card that features non-neutered double-precision compute capabilities. For people who run the kind of workloads that make use of this, the Titan is an absolute bargain considering the next card with that capability starts at $3000. However, the titan doesn't feature error-correcting memory, so it's basically a budget compute card for someone who needs/wants the raw computational power, but doesn't require the error-correcting capability.
