If the article is correct (saying that the memory bandwidth is very important) then a 780Ti is still interesting (336GB/s[1] vs 224GB/s[2]). They increased the memory clock but they decreased the memory interface width from 384 to 256-bit, for some reason.

nVidia released the first level cutdown (GM204) as the "80" part, while it really should be the 960 at most - the full/big Maxwell core hasn't been released yet.

Chances are the first fabbed version simply didn't work and they're waiting for the GM210.
