As I am upgrading my house from a 650ti, I have the option to go for either a gtx Titan black, or a gtx 980. I will overclock either, but I'm not sure which to go for. Some of the games I will be playing are: GTA V, Grid and Titanfall.
I think the gtx Titan black may be better due to the 6GB frame buffer at 1440p, correct me if I am wrong, but the 980 has a higher clock speed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rumors are rumors, I'm expecting the 960 to be out by Christmas and new 980 Ti/Titan to be out around the same period or Q1 (really whenever AMD comes out with their cards). I don't use AMD either, but they are a big factor on what comes out from Nvidia.
It would be more logical in my opinion to put the card out before christmas because of sales.
But, we'll just have to wait and see.

Won't happen, 20nm isn't close to being ready and there is a good chance they have scrapped it to go to 16nm, however I personally doubt that because if I was Nvidia I'd want to milk all the cards I can.
Titan does seem interesting, but the specs have to be there. 512bit bus, 8gb Vram, at least 3000cuda (don't know the math offhand with GM200). However, a 1k card like a Titan is a big jump from where the 'gaming' cards are and where the 300x series will be from AMD.

Go for the 980. Think of the Titan Black as a 780Ti with 6gb of VRAM. 4gb is enough for one 1440p monitor.
I am also switching to 1440p, but will be waiting for the 980Ti/990 as I want a card that can guarantee 60fps in almost all games. The 980 can certainly reach that, but obviously the more power the better.
