A 790 is not gonna happens for sevral resons.
One is that 780 never gonna see 6GB Vram unless the card is named titan.
The 7-series cant be compared to the 5 and 6 series as they did not take the 580 renamed it to 670 for the same price and letting 680 take a higher pricepoint and using different GPU than the next card in the line, the 670 as this time will tell the story with only titan and 780 having the badass GK110.

All Dual GPU cards have there RAM amounts added together when advertising. Although they in actuality are not added and are still 3GB per chip on the card. There for it can still happen. I still see a possibility for a 790, there are people who still look to buy these cards to save space or want less clutter if doing 4-Way SLI.

Well aware of that, afterall i had two of the biggest failure on that side, but the way i read it was that it is a 790 based on two 6GB 780:s witch never gonna happen.
I still see no point for it nomatter the need with some to have that kind of card but that is just due to their wrongpurchas that lock them to atempt compromises to pull things of rather than do it the right way with no strangulation.

Just a thought.  What if the 790 were comprised of two Titan chips.  They could call it Titan Ultra! 
Now that could devastate the industry

All the Dual GPU users do see a use. Power wise two GF110's which were used for GTX 590, use more power than two GK110's ;) So Impossible? Absolutely not and money wise NVIDIA has loads of it, they can pull this off I am quite sure about.

If there is a way to earn money on something big like a GTX 790 and also maintaining the world's fastest VGA card in a single PCI-E Slot, I don't see a problem with this 

The HD 7990 is today's most powerful VGA card, which in most benchmarks it beats the GTX 690, especially in Ultra high settings with high FSAA & AF settings enabled.
The GTX Titan get's crushed by the HD 7990, majorly thanks to its new drivers, thus NVIDIA needs to take care of this and release a GTX 790, just to retake the crown Nothing is impossible in VGA land, I have seen that too many times man, I'm a true vet as that goes.

Besides similar doubts went around about the GTX 295 & GTX 590, and still they appeared
Oh well not that it matters, this topic is just about the speculations I had, they still make sense to me, as I have seen many strange designs to which I would never thought would hit the market, the XGI Volari V8 Duo was a very good example, they looked like this:


Here a naked PCB shot which shows the layout of the ram and the XGI V8 Ultra GPU's:


In 2003 XGI Technology replaced Silicon Integrated Systems which was SiS for short, more about that here:
