With 2816 shaders it will beat the 780 no problem.
Hopefully get some benchy's on the 25th.
I look forward to seeing you with four Titan Ultra's soon.
Haha.

Not going to see the light of day
Who wants to buy a Titan let alone an Ultra version.
Pretty much, at least to the former. It's a sure way to frump people off. Besides the architecture isn't exactly new. Assuming it'll just be a fully unlocked GK110, I'll eat my hat if they squeeze enough performance out of it to make people even bat an eye lid. If history is anything to go by look out for a 790GTX waste of time edition.
On the other hand I'm pretty happy gaming at 5292x with my 3 Titans, thanks.
Expect pricing to be at least £600+ TBH. If you're hoping for less you're kidding yourself.

Hmm well i guess the rest is price gouging on ocuk's part. Fingers crossed then PG Tips.
Lets hope so. Can't see them shifting too many at over £600.

AMD's new top single GPU will not be £600..
I predict,
£400 - £500 at launch. (Depending on brand)
Swiftly dropping down to £350 once the initial sales drop off.
This time next year they will be £250+.
This time next year they'll be obsolete, midrange 20nm cards will be comparable in performance.
Still cheaper and faster then a 690
Yes but the metal blower, slower performance, slightly cooler running and Physx is easily worth £200-£300, depending on current and soon to be 7990 pricing, right?

Tempted by 2 of these when they arrive, Might just wait for 20nm though. Choices choices
Now you guys can see why I said 7990 is a bargain, it's faster and cost less at current prices on OcUK
Gibbo just the man. Can you clear up the discussion me and pg tips were having?
As i read it the 7990 will move up to £600 and the new AMD card will slot in around £450-£500, right?
So this is why Titan Ultra is being prepared.
Won't matter if they do as Titan isn't a consumer graphics card, it belongs with the likes of the ares and mars, the new AMD card almost certainly will be a consumer card though.
Yes our pricing is below where it should be on 7990 as were the only etailor with stock at sub £500, the correct price is £600-700 region.
Your not far off on new stuff

Good to hear but id prefer to see the 7990 closer to £600 than £700 and the new card not much over £500 if at all.
Saying that though, i can't afford either of them but will look on from afar.
