Nvidia-flops seem to be better than AMD-flops, though. See the 4.6 TF GTX 1060 beating the RX 480 for instance.
Besides, this one probably has FP64 and can do bitmining and other scientific computing tasks. Being a bigger chip, yields should be way lower, so it is more expensive to produce than merely scaling from size and performance alone suggests.
For gaming, though, it would be wise to wait the inevitable 3200/3072 SP GTX 1080 Ti which will be hundreds of dollars cheaper and overclock better. Titan cards are a very acquired taste...
