Geforce GTX 780, 770 coming in May

If you already have a 7970 then its probably not going to be worth changing to a 780. It'll be marginally faster but will cost £500+, actually with Titan prices as they are I wouldn't be surprised to see them closer to £600 tbh.

Were there any hints of power requirements for those cards?
Or can we "predict" any?
Should they be lower than 600 series?

780 will most likely be marginally lower than Titan (look at the difference between 680 and 670 for a very rough idea)
770 I would imagine being the same as a 680 - a minor improvement in performance per watt but essentially a little bit more performance than a 680 for about the same power usage as a 680

this is a pure guess based on rumours though so could be anyone's guess really!

Not really much else they can do really without either stupid pricing, annoying (insert stronger word than annoying) people who've bought titans or making something that doesn't compete well with the 7970 none of which do them any favors. They kind of snookered themselves with the titan as someone else mentioned.

Em no. What I said ALL ALONG was "inflation/exchange rate's impact on prices is not as significant, if comparing to the price dictation/increase set by the companies".

I even used the launch price (RRP) of 5870 $399 vs 7970 $549 (AMD only slash down to $499 until later) as example, which leave the exchange rate out of the equation, and there's no way inflation is responsible for majority of that $150 price increase, over just 2 years period. Prices of graphic cards increase hugely over such short period of time is not mainly because of inflation, but companies making it so.

I disagree somewhat. The 5870 price was "cheap" to be honest. You look back through history and both Nvidia and AMD have launched their flagship single cards at around $599 historically. Accounting for inflation that should be around $700 ish nowadays.

However the market had changed somewhat and people just can't afford £500+ cards like they used to and with competition both sides dropped their prices.

So really they are just setting back to where it used to be for their flagship card.
 
So the 780 is a cut down Titan ? Not sure upgrading from a 6x would be worth it. Depends how they decide to price these but seeing as it is Nvidia they will be expensive.
