780Ti official review thread

Yeah, because oddly enough you've ignored the reviews so far...too busy shouting down any criticism of NV's pricing and VFM...

I've read a few reviews it looks like a good card, one that I'd purchase had I not already bought 2 780's, whenever I have bought top end cards. 9800pro 7800gtx 8800gtx hd7970 to name a few, I haven't once worried about Value for money. Just the speed of the card.

Then why does it bother you that it bothers others?

yep quality will be rememberd long after the price is forgot
 
Doesn't look THAT much better than a superclock 780 - the Vortex review has it neck and neck with the (now) much cheaper Ichill 780 and phantom glh. No doubt there is more OC headroom, but that's when the premium price kicks in.

love how all the charts do not list a 7990 when that can be had cheap as chips. Yes it is dual, but they show SLI titan.

To be fair, for those that don't mind SLI/CF, that card is still a steal. Those bench results I linked show it at the top of most, with the 690 winning a couple. Great cards.
 
i keep looking at all these loverly new shiny cards and it starts my upgrade itch off and i have to keep reminding myself my 7970 crossfire plays everything fine and i dont need new graphics cards but ooh the urge is strong
 
Meh I'll stick with my 780's @ 1202/3402 game and bench stable, Not enough of a performance increase to go to the hassle of swapping my 780's out, Maxwell come to me ^_^
 
The Hardware Canucks site has a nice factual review of Value.

No, it's not affordable to most but the 780Ti is only a little less value for money than the 290x and the 290 is not THAT much more value for money either, just under 30% more VFM with the 290 and about 10% more VFM with the 290X in Uber mode.

10% is not THAT much of a premium all things considered.

Hardcop had the 290x pretty much on par or above the ti or i'm reading the charts wrong?:confused:

HardOCP insist on testing at the highest possible resolutions as they think the >1440p or multiple monitors is the only reason to buy cards this high end. The other sites generally state 1080p is common and 1440p is the top widely available resolution.

There was a very nice set of graphs illustrating this on Guru 3d's review showing that 780Ti and Titan dominate up towards 4K resolution, with 290X lagging behind (presumably due to less raw processing power and slower memory transfer rates). However at 4K, or with 4xMSAA at resolutions >1440p, the 780 Titan / Ti performance tails off much faster than the 290X, and as the graphs cross over AMD pulls ahead. Presumably this is due to having 4Gb of memory overall / more of a focus on multi-monitor and 4K than Nvidia. The same pattern emerged in SLI vs Crossfire testing, although you could not complain about the 780 Ti SLI results at 4K.

Personally I can't afford a 780Ti, the 290X makes too much noise and heat for my HTPC (my CPU and RAM would cook) and my one big 50" 1080p monitor is big enough and sharp enough for my lounge where I game. So the HardOCP review doesn't apply to me or many of you, but it doesn't make them biased. Those of you who love multi monitor /4K should read and consider what they have to say in context.

To be honest I dislike the way HardOCP do things. All that highest possible settings ******** is rubbish. Just test the cards at exactly the same settings so a fair comparison can be drawn.

Firstly,it is not based on UK pricing. Moreover,the GTX780TI is only slightly less value for money than an R9 290?? LOLWTF??

So,let me get this straight,the cheapest R9 290 is £310 and the cheapest GTX780TI is £550 or 77% more. Compared to a £350 GTX780 with non reference coolers or GTX780 GHZ Edition cards with massive pre-overclocks for around £400 to £420 that is still 31% to 57% more.

I need to have whatever you are smoking and drinking at the same time,as it really increases creativity it seems!
