First off, your arbitrary "this is what I think the price/performance situation should be, and if it isn't the graphics cards makers are RIPPING YOU OFF" is silly. Clearly, there is a market for these high-end cards at their current price/performance ratio.
What performance? there is no performance of worth relative to what you pay. In any case I just think we're going in circles, my point has been made.

Secondly, bringing up the "$3k Titan Z" doesn't make sense, as it's A) currently ~$1500, B) old tech, and C) was known as *terrible* value for gaming when it released. Just because Nvidia sold a halo card for way too much doesn't mean the whole market is suspect.
Yes, I had to bring it up because it's yet another overpriced product that significantly underperforms and under-delivers for it's price point. In any case the 295 X2 is still running a train on it and it has gone down in price as well. Btw it is Nvidia that is the chief suspect for these underperforming GPU's relative to their insane prices, not the entire industry.

Thirdly, anyone trying to do what you are asking for isn't looking for a single card, they're going SLI. A pair of 980ti's will get close to Crysis 4k@60 maxed, for $1300 (especially if overclocked.)
Lastly, at least one site believes that your $650 for Crysis 3 1440p@60 maxed is doable -
Yes 60fps with no AA at all, there's also the 53fps at 1440p, what is it you're hiding. What is up with this cropped picture anyway, it's lacking valid information.
In any case, I believe the new AMD Single GPU will be able to max out Crysis 3 going by bits and pieces on the internet.
Here's me not hiding any info.
This is how the 295 X2 performed in Crysis 3 at 1440p with FXAA, at least it has AA and goes up to 72fps, you can get one for about $650 as well. Please note it's performance at 4K with FXAA, higher than that of the 980ti at 2560*1600. So I'm done here and I've supported all my claims with evidence so far, so take care for now.
Damn this card is amazingly well priced.
I really wonder if AMD's new card is going to be like the 9700 from years ago and just humiliate Nvidia.
It's looking likely. Price to performance is something AMD always had over Nvidia, with AMD ushering the new Vram technology with it's new generation card, it looks like it will finally get a good grip in the GPU market and bring some balance back to the PC GPU scene.

Um, I had a 1600X1200 monitor in like 2001.
No matter, you have a Titan, how many people do? Most people had 1024*768 crt's then.

Secondly, what I am saying is true. Your anecdotal evidence that "an 8800 Ultra ran a train on it" doesn't mean diddly squat. You are wanting Crysis 3 to run @ 4K 60 with MSAA @ 60fps, when the highest end card at release couldn't even manage 1080p 60 with MSAA off. I just extrapolated your wishes to a previous historical example.
I provided proof and here you go about "my anecdotal evidence", admit when you're wrong. You're straight out lying, the 7800Gtx run Doom 3 with aplomb just one year later. Later cards run it even better. At least, even if you deny the benchmarks, at least let logic make sense of it.

I am sorry reality does not align with your "concern" in a pc GPU thread.
I have no personal concern if anyone is stubborn enough to keep spending exorbitant amounts of cash on products that's clearly not worth it, (gauging lower priced products that perform much better in comparison). If it is, that persons want to continue to support such products, so be it, it's really their money. I think this is pretty clear cut logic, but what do I know, buy a car that goes 300mph for 150k or buy a car that goes 200mph at 300k. I just find it would be better for the industry If persons realized that advancements in the GPU market will only be stifled by supporting such products.

"Holy shit. The gibberish nonsense is killing me!"
Coming to terms with reality induces gibberish at times.
Don't know if that poster was flinging that insult at me, I normally don't respond to those, but I just want to say it says a lot about such persons and those who support them. Not everything is a war, and btw I started gaming on PC before any other platform, it's what got me into gaming. Good night.
