LOL?

I mean come on.. There next gen cards are slower than the Titan?
What the hell is Nvidia doing?!

But if the top card is half the price of the titan but only a bit slower? Will sell like hot cakes.
If a new Nvidia card this soon was faster than a Titan it would be priced appropriately also.
Will be interesting to see if they do a 790
 
According to BrightSideofNews, NVIDIA is preparing its whole new GeForce 700 lineup for late May. Most importantly, the GTX TITAN LE, which we were talking about for a while, is in fact the GeForce GTX 780.

The site claims that their Asian sources confirm the upcoming GeForce 700 series coming next month. The GK110-based graphics card, which would sport 2496 CUDA cores, is now said to be named GeForce GTX 780. While the GTX TITAN is a consumer part of the Tesla K20X, the GTX 780 would be a consumer version of the Tesla K20. The source claims that the GeForce GTX 780 would be 30% faster than GTX 680, which is quite interesting, since the original TITAN is only 23% faster (source). The card would arrive in late May, maybe even on Computex in June. Interestingly, there’s also a price mentioned — $499 to $599.

Moving forward to GeForce GTX 770. The card would receive a GK104-425 GPU, which would be almost identical to GTX 680′s processor. We are looking at a 25-30% performance boost here. Unfortunately, the card would still feature 256-bit interface. On the other hand it is said that the card will arrive with 4GB as a default configuration.

The third card detailed is GeForce GTX 760 Ti. This would basically be a rebranded GTX 670, which means it would sport 256-bit interface and 2GB memory. Taking about the performance — 20% over the current GTX 660 Ti. As for these numbers, I’m quite sure they got them from the hat, rather than a real, credible source.

As mentioned earlier, this high-end segment of GeForce 700 cards would arrive in late May. It is possible that all cards would be launched together. I’ve asked my sources about the recent leaks regarding the whole new series coming soon, but I received no confirmation.

Supposed specs of the 7 series. No idea if they hold any weight though.

I think you are just over-complicating something very simple...7970 was launched at £450, but they are able to sell it at just over £300 plus with game bundles now and still maintain reasonable profit, so you are telling me the launch price at £450 was more to do with inflation, rather than the opportunity to pull it fast one?

Anyway I don't even know how the discussion got de-railed, when I was just agreeing with someone's comment we won't see performance increase as much as the good old days- not without getting hit by a ridiculous price premium (which is the truth). They are businesses and they are in it for the money (not that there's anything wrong with that). The first and foremost reason for high prices was not because of inflation, but the opportunity that was presented to the company to charge that.

Marine the 7970 is a good, good amount faster than the 580 nowadays....

Yea, but the 12.11 driver didn't came till 9 months later, which point lots of people have already moved on from BF3.

Yea yea I'm moaning about prices (when I was just making a valid point), and Nvidia and AMD is TOTALLY not responsible/involved in anyway for pricing of their products high when opportunity comes ...it is the all evil inflation at work that caused all that :rolleyes:

You can afford a Lamborghini? Good for you, but that doesn't mean it gives you the right to ridicule people for talking about general vehicles...say Ford, Toyota,Volkswagen keep increasing the price, despite bringing fewer and fewer improvement over the previous model.

No of course not. But that isn't what we were initially discussing. Look companies are there to make profit for their shareholders. If they believe they can sell enough cards at price point 'x' (£450) then why not? You said yourself they're there to make money but still denounce the fact that they do. I think companies should be celebrated for making money. Making people rich creates jobs at the end of the day in most cases. Either through rich peoples purchases or through capital holders creating jobs directly... And if the market doesn't want to pay price point 'x' it won't.

The point about inflation is that a £300 top end card from back in the day can quite quickly become a £400 top end card in today's money. You can't under estimate the impact like you are.

10 years at 3% inflation makes £300 equal £400 in today's money (very roughly)... and that isn't exactly a long time ago.

Either you haven't read what I've said or you're misinterpreting it for your own purpose. Either one is not very good.

All that I have said is inflation is a larger factor than has been given general consideration. No-one really is denying a company is going to try and make more profit if they can... as above I don't blame them and I encourage it but that's a more ideological debate than anything else :).

Car comparisons never work with GPUs. With a car, aesthetics comes into it a more than they do with GPUs ;). Plus you've got a two way near monopoly compared with...

If the 780 is indeed the titan LE, it makes perfect sense. Sell a slower card at a lower price. It'll still be faster than the 680 anyway so anyone now looking at getting a 680 might as well spend the same money on the 780 instead and enjoy the extra speed and gpu boost 2 features.

I still don't see how inflation is "too" relevant to tech products though? I mean if the prices of things like rams, HDD goes up, it would more because of the cost of the components/features of the products (which competitiors cannot offer) rather than inflation? So I'd think GPU prices should be more to do with wafer cost?
