I recently purchased an EVGA 780 ti kingpin edition and I love the card, however, I just upgraded to a 4k monitor which of course comes with significantly reduced framerate while playing games. I saw that EVGA has a 780 6gb card out now that is eligible for step-up with the current card I have. It would make sense for me to do this since having increased memory would benefit significantly for 4k resolution. Long story short, I do not see a 780 ti 6gb card listed as part of the step-up program, only a 780 6gb. Does EVGA have the 780 ti in a 6gb version? And if not, will they be releasing one? If they aren't then I'm not sure if I can justify the 780 6gb over the 780 ti, the ti smokes the 780 just doesn't have as much vram. Anyways I'm in quite a pickle, answers would be much appreciated, thank you!

my best guess is that there won´t be a 6GB 780ti
I´m blown away that there is even a 6gb 780 for half the price of a Titan wich is literaly the same card! if there was a 6GB 780ti there would be no reason for the Titan Black to exist.
So I think the earlyest we´ll see a 780ti 6GB is if the Titan Black gets replaced

Titan's have better way better double precision for people who need that. It's not the exact same card.

but isn´t that because of the 6GB I thought the only diference between 780 and Titan was the ram?

Nope. It wouldn't make sense for them to literally offer the exact same card for difference prices. EVGA is not dumb :)

The regular Titan is actually somewhat hard to find for the original prices. The Titan Black is easier to find and for a better price.

Yeah the Titan is a better card for video processing, for instance CAD programs or video editing software. Don't get me wrong, the titan is awesome for gaming too, just that its not programmed the same way as a 780. I had called up EVGA in hope of trying to get a definitive answer but unfortunately all the guy on the phone could say was unless I see it actually on the site, he has no way of knowing if it will come out. Although, however, he said he has heard talk within the company about possibly releasing one, just not 100%. I guess my best bet is to just wait and see before the 90-day step up program is up. Thanks for the responses though =]
