The GeForce GTX Titan sports the fastest GPU ever seen: GK110. Unfortunately, that one chip isn't quite as fast as two GK104s, which you find on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 690, even though it also costs over £800.
Although we're impressed by what GK110 can do, the Titan is overpriced by most accounts. Two GeForce GTX 680s are faster, and for less money. Nevertheless, GeForce GTX Titan gets an honourable mention for the two applications where it really shines: small form factor and multi-card machines.
Also plaguing the Titan right now is availability. They're pretty rare, and as of this writing, there's only one in stock on Newegg.

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 690 is one of the fastest graphics cards in the world. It's essentially two GeForce GTX 680s on a single PCB, with a slightly lower core clock and a 300 W TDP. The company sets this card's MSRP over £800, pricier than two GeForce GTX 680s in SLI. Although it used to suffer from availability issues, the card can be found right around its launch price without too much trouble.
While a few companies launched custom-built dual-Tahiti cards, they're very power-hungry and tend to be loud under load. HIS' solution never even made it to market. Asus' is no longer available. PowerColor's triple-slot monster is the only one left, and even then it's a de-tuned version. As such, we removed them all from our column. AMD's recently-introduced Radeon HD 7990 improves on those third-party designs, but comes up short in too many other ways to earn a recommendation here.

Any chance of getting at least an honourable mention for it?
So is it me doing a bad research or this year graphics cards are much more expensive than last time?
