Nvidia has a stranglehold on the BYOPC market, AMD is lagging behind in almost every way, and with AMD not putting out new GPU architectures for a while Nvidia's lead is only going to get further.

Didn't the 780 outperform the Titan in testing?
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

The Radeon cards aren't bad, not that far behind. I do prefer Nvidia, though.
As for the Titan. The Titan has more cuda cores (2 688 vs 2304) and it's got twice the memory amount (6 GB vs 3 GB).
However. The GTX 780 has a higher default clock-frequency (about 5%) than the Titan for GPU and GPU boost. Also, many manufacturers factory overclock the cards much further, along with custom high end cooling solutions.
The Titan GPU was never released by itself, but rather as a complete PCB, meaning that they're pretty much all the same. However, an overclocked Titan will best any GTX 780, and even at standard clocks it will run better than the GTX780 when it comes to games/applications that make full use of the CUDA-architecture, or that use a lot of video-RAM.
But, in short, out of the box factory overclocked GTX780's will get you an higher FPS in games than a GTX Titan at default clock speeds.
