GeForce GTX 770 Specifications Leaked, Could Surprise with Pricing

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 770 could end up being the product we expected it to be specifications-wise, but could surprise with pricing, according to retailers in Tokyo's Akihabara electronics shopping district. On paper, the GTX 770 is virtually identical to the GeForce GTX 680, albeit with higher core clocks, and a record memory frequency. The chip features 1046 MHz core, 1085 MHz of GPU Boost, and a staggering 7.00 GHz (1750 MHz actual) memory.

If true, the GTX 770 should be the highest-clocked GPU ever built. These clocks bolster the same 14-month old GK104 silicon we're all too familiar with. To support these clocks, the card draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors, and features a rated TDP of 230W. The card features a cooling solution identical to the GeForce GTX 780 and GTX TITAN, which should make it an attractive buy. The part that intrigued us the most is that retailers expect it to sell for 40,000¥, which should roughly convert to US $390~400. At this price, the GTX 770 should wreak havoc among AMD's ranks, and even make GTX 680 and GTX 670 much cheaper.

No surprise there on the pricing. The GTX770 would replace GTX680's pricing, rather than 670's...

Instead of price slashing their GTX680 price further, Nvidia is just rebadging the GTX680, smack a fancy cooler on top and apply a high factory overclock to maintain the pricing high.

The GTX770 is like Nvidia's "GTX680 GHz Edition" like AMD's cards.

At last some potentially good nvidia pricing news!!

Though if they really want it to wreak havoc, that $400 is going to have to translate to ~£320 to even think about competing with the 7900's. £350 or above is still going to be insulting imo.

Gibbo already confirmed that the 770 gonna be push onto shelf at 680's price bracket quite a while ago...

Fail in that case then :mad:

I'd love to know nvidias logic with this one, I could almost get my head around 780/titan prices with it being a new part. Keeping gk104 ~£400 is daft. Nvidia do realise they have competition in the desktop graphics market don't they?

If true that means a UK RRP of £320 inc VAT so based on other similar recent Nvidia launches that means a launch price of £350.

Cheaper that I was expecting given it is significantly faster than a 680

Nvidia can and have tweaked pricing right up to launch so his info could well now be out of date.

Swagger187 · 29 May 2013 at 08:23

I have seen that $400 price on a few different websites now so it could be looking promising

. Tho I would be quite shocked if they are that price because that would be a big gap up to the 780's.

Not long to go now and we will find out.

Well if it is around £300 and does come out with the Titan style cooler - I think I'll get myself a new GPU ^^

I don't think that there'll be any point in waiting for the non-reference cards (unless you want lower GPU temps and heat dumped into your case) - it seems that the stock one will be already pushed to its limits.

Their not keeping its price, if that articles correct then its coming in ~$70 cheaper than the GTX680, Nvidia don't set the UK prices retailers do.

£300 and I'll buy.

That's not really true at all as a blanket statement. Nvidia absolutely do set the UK retail price, UK retailers then modify it by a small percentage either way.

The base cost of the GPU is set by Nvidia and of course dictates the UK price range.

The USD RRP is set by Nvidia, exchange rates, costs of shipping cards from manufacturers to UK retailers, VAT and retailers profits are out of their hands.

Was really looking forward to seeing a larger Memory bus on these cards ! Could still be a good card at high Res but I'll wait for the Benchmarks to come out ?

Other than that it look's like I'll have to wait for the new AMD or the price coming down on a GTX 780 (& that will be never)...

nvidia set the base price of the GPU core, they sell this to AIB's, they then build the cards and add their markup, they sell this to distributors who add their markup based and the retailers then add theirs as well

all of the markups in there can be variable based on volume... nvidia might well send out a bit of info on RRP, however no one is forced to follow this

retailers set their pricing based on the price they bought at and adding a margin they can work with and then sets a price where they think they will be competitive in the market

having worked at both a distributor and a retailer I can tell you that RRP bears little to no relation to the actual price charged to the customer - it is entirely based on buying price + desired margin, it then gets adjusted based on sales volumes and market pricing, but no one actually references RRP and says that is the price we should be aiming for

usually one of three things is at work, either the manufacturer sets the RRP based on a very tight margin and it's not really possible or desirable to offer the customer the level of support you would want and still work on that margin, or on the other end, the manufacturer misreads the market and sets the RRP too high, meaning that retailers all rush to stick discount stickers on the RRP to make it look like a deal, or retailers will just charge what they want to because they know they can get away with it

nvidia has given guidance on the RRP, but looking around very few retailers are following that advice and have prices set well above RRP... this could be because the RRP is set at too tight a margin, or it could just be because the retailers are cashing in on a new release

either way, nvidia obviously have very little say over what the selling price of these cards is in the UK

Base on pass examples, even if Nvidia/AMD do some "last min" tweak and reduce the price, the effect genearlly won't reach UK pricing until a good 1-2 months later.

Take the GTX780 for example, they are priced at $650-$660 on average in the US, convert that to the pounds it would be £433...then add 20% VAT on top of it it would be £520. Yet for some reason average price in the UK is pricing at average of £550-£620.

So basically what I'm saying even if the GTX770 is may be hitting close to GTX670 price in the US when it launch, us UK folks should however be fully prepared to see it being priced at GTX680 price instead over here.

This is the best description.

To say Nvidia don't set the UK price is rubbish as a blanket statement.

They very clearly do as if they sell a GPU for $300 then it means the UK price will be around £250 inc vat. If they sell a GPU for around $600 then the UK price will be £500.

The single biggest influence on what the UK price will be is Nvidia's GPU price to AIBs, nothing else comes remotely close to dictating the end UK price than that.
