NVIDIA Working on a GeForce GTX TITAN Refresh?
The GeForce GTX 780 Ti may be the fastest single-GPU graphics card that money can buy, by a long shot, but only to people who game and don't really care about double-precision floating point GPGPU performance. NVIDIA expects you to shell out $999 on the GTX TITAN for full double-precision FP performance at the moment. For all other intents and purposes, the GTX TITAN is cannibalized, but will it stay that way? VideoCardz spotted these pictures of a black-colored GTX TITAN graphics card in the wild, which retains the cooler design of the original, right up to the "TITAN" logo, but swaps out the silver for black. The publication is referring to the card as a sort of "Black Edition." Speculation is rife about what it could be, a GK110-based card with identical core-configuration to the GTX 780 Ti, 6 GB of memory, full double-precision floating-point performance and slightly higher clock speeds, perhaps?

Anyway this could be the reason there are no planned GTX 780 Ti with 6 GB of VRAM.
Nvidia wants to keep more memory exclusive to its beloved flagship, that's why the EVGA rep was kinda shady about a 6GB 780Ti Classified :)
There's also a high probability that Maxwell as a design is already finalized given the lead-in time associated with an architecture.
Also fairly likely that Nvidia, like AMD is:
1. Waiting on TSMC and possibly GDDR6
2. Wanting to wring out as much return on investment on the current (read: in production) hardware.
Both companies are around the same level of performance so they aren't in need to increase performance.
They'll probably get around to release something new when the market becomes too stale.
I don't see any reason for Nvidia to release a Titan refresh. It has the 6Gb and fully enabled DP already. No other Geforce card has that. Also once bitten, twice shy - what price would it release at and why would people buy it? The GK110 can't get faster than the 780Ti's out now (unless with even faster clocks - not realistic).

it certainly will not be Reason to Buy if you dont hew 4K monitor or at lisr 3x 27inch monitors .Price does not justify the added 3 GB of RAM. Still the purchase R9 290X with a water block much cheaper and AMD in this case really worked at 1000Hz rather than ~ 800 Hz.
I want to see the results achieved in a water-cooled R9 290X does not cheer not for AMD not to Invidia. Fact is that many do not know what they are buying and the price of $ 1,000 is too high because we get R9 290X much cheaper with almost the same preformance!
Waiting for 2X R9 290X! and GTX790ti.
againe unleasheded monster BLAH BLAH come for beating R920X again
maybe 12GBVRam
GTX780 <TITAN <GTX780 GHZ edition (not sure if real anymore) <GTX780ti <TITAN BLACK!!!!!!!!!!
Tom's Hardware did an article on it's development and this looks a bit too much like one of their early designs of the 690.
More found here (and check out page 4).
