I think you are mixing it up with the 980.
No, I'm not.
If you go to the following link and look at the BF4 scores for Ultra@4K you will see the 970 beat the 780TI by two points.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/review-nvidias-gtx-970...
This is only one example, and yes, I realize this is also only one result, but it does indicate the ability to stay neck to neck with the 780TI and occasionally score higher. It is, by far, a better option especially considering the price difference.
I imagine when some newer titles are released down the road that utilize features that the 780 TI doesn't support, but the 970 does, it will likely begin closing or widening that margin as well.
And that's the 780 TI. Against the 780, it wins, hands down in all listed titles.
There are a ton of slightly conflicting results out there.
HERE is an Example (My 780 Vs a 970);-

"Gaming Performance Comparison
In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB.
The GTX 970 has a 4 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780, but the GTX 780 has 88 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 970. As a result, the GTX 780 exhibits a 91.6 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 970. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 970 has a 4 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 780. This results in the GTX 970 providing 17 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards."

He is going i5 if you look at his specs. And he says Nothing about anything really testing like Stereoscopic 3D.
So, as an i5 user we can assume he is probably going 1080p 120Hz or very near.
So, its an economic choice.
Go Cheaper with known 780 reliability or newer and negligable performance difference at 1080p for the additional money.
P.S.
My iChiLL GTX 780 3D Ultra is almost as good as any NVidia stock GTX 780Ti and there is the price saving to be used on other useful stuff like a Samsung SSD or a dedicated PhysX card.
At the end of the day, its a bit like comparing Lambrogini`s to Maseratis to Ferrari`s.
Its a personal choice. The roads are what matters.
P.P.S.
Even Linus agrees and benchmarked the two....
