EDIT:  Yep it destroys the competition.  Titan Z may be dead on arrival:

Sure it is an epic gaming card, but remember what the Titan Z was for? As stated, it is for harsh number crunching for simulations and rendering programs, not for gaming. The 790 will be for gaming ^^. However, will it beat 11 teraflops at a mere 65oC and ~465W? Doubtful.

Yes that is what it is for.  It is called the GTX Titan Z.

As for the 790.  Yeah I am guessing Nvidia is gonna gun for $1000 and try to make it almost as strong as 780 SLI.  It will be very hard to though, and honestly 3GB isn't enough...
