Geforce GTX 780, 770 coming in May

[Mr Krugga]

Not really a fun fact as more of your opinion being passed off as a "Fun Fact"

How is that an opinion? We know that they will fall in between in terms of performance for a fact.

As for not understanding why someone would buy a Titan instead of 2x4GB 680's, maybe you should try gaming at 5760 x 1080 or even higher on those 2 x 4GB 680's and then have a try at 3D at that resolution and then come and make those statements

You wouldn't do that on a single Titan, would you? My comment was aimed at single Titan users.

I find 1920x1080 monitors to be ****-poor quality to warrant such a setup.

Totally agree. The other fun fact is that the 7970 is a much more attractive card these days. I think like allot of us I'll go for a second 680. It's going to be allot faster than a single Titan and hopefully not too expensive.

I'm hoping for some cheap second-hand GTX 680s on the MM soon.

Didn't you say yourself that the gains were pretty much minimal? and that the 256bit bus isn't as crippling as you originally thought?

And how many people game @ that res or higher? and then with 3D?

Would the real GTX 780 please stand up?

Some more info, (Who knows what is real at this point )

GK110 core, stream processors 2304, 3GB memory, 384bit memory interface, frequency 875/6008MHz

Yes seems crazy that after 18 months the 770 is only going to be a little bit faster than the 670.

12 months you mean, the 670 is only a couple of day over a year old.

had this discussion with Humbug the other day;

memory bus makes less of a difference in SLI because each GPU gets the full benefit of the full bus width, where as a single GPU only gets it's bus width once

so if you think where in SLI GPU 1 draws frame one, GPU 2 is already drawing frame 2... if you apply the same process to a single monolithic GPU then each "half" of the GPU drawing each frame would effectively have half the bandwidth to use

clearly the single GPU doesn't get half the bandwidth because it's drawing frames sequentially, but it does mean that 2 GPU's with seperate memory get near effectively double the bandwidth a single GPU would have (timing issues and input lag not withstanding)

Titans will still be twice the price of a 780 despite not being that old

 

[Wucked]

I totally don't understand why anyone would spend twice as much on a Titan as one would on 2xGTX 680s 4GB (US prices, I haven't looked over the situation in the UK, since prices are so volatile here).

Titan prices in UK are hideous, but as long as you're getting the fps you want and you can afford it then single gpu > multi gpu any day. Power, heat, reliance on SLI profiles, varying degrees of micro-stutter, etc.

Saying that though I skipped Titan, I can afford it but for the price they're charging I find the performance disappointing. We'll see what the 780 does, but I expect that will be expensive too.

I think they're still gonna put a huge premium on it too... the 670s etc haven't really dropped in price at all.

760Ti £300+
770 £400+
780 £600+
Titan £1K

The profits Nvidia will announce this year are gonna be monstrous.

I see what you mean yeah.

If the figures are true, then the GTX780 is going to be around half the price of the Titan but with around 85-90% of its performance (depending if you are looking at it from the angle of clock for clock or stock clock performance)?

The Titan is around 0-30% faster than the 7970 (games dependent)...so take the may be around 10% of the performance away from the Titan, the GTX780 would be around £450-£500, with the performance of 10% slower to 20% faster than the 7970, but with around 50% higher in price than the 7970. But still the price don't seem to be as bad as £600+ as we imagined.

The problem is AMD can't match prices with Nvidia as they still don't have the reputation. If 2 cards are around equal performance we all know more people would pick the nvidia card if priced similarly. AMD have to undercut them and unless they're shifting more cards than nvidia their profits are likely much lower.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Assuming good availability of the Titan LE (GTX 780), we might even expect it to launch at the price of GTX 280 (after HD 4800 launch), GTX 480, GTX 580 and GTX 680 on release day, that is $499.

Looking at that Chinese table, it seems even more likely (half the price of the Titan). Come to think of it, we have no reason to believe otherwise, at all.

That would mean £399+ cards at launch, as long as there are no stock shortages.

Fingers crossed, at that price I'll order two 780's on launch day

I won't be to optimistic though, Nvidia price greediness gets worse each gen, could be £500 - £600.

I hope they surprise us and price it at £400.

 

[Boomstick777]

£750.

 

[illuz]

No longer an Nvidia fan if they seriously release at that price point. But theywill sell , and furthermore Nvidia cards will be priced as such un future. AMD 9xxx rumours better be true.

 

[Boomstick777]

Geforce GTX 780 to sell from 500 to 600 euro.

Some 20 percent more than 680

Let's hope that was a retailer hike and not an Nvidia one. Fudzilla suggest it will be 20% more expensive than GTX 680..

£450?

This gen was started off by AMD and the high pricing of the 7970, Fair play they dropped the price but I get a feeling if Nvidia had not been shifting units then they would have also done the same.

It would be nice to know(Not that we can) what the price of the 680 would have been had AMD released the 7970 @ £300ish.

 

[Darrensen]

£750.....!!!!

If it's that then i'll just get a 7970 for now and enjoy the free games.

 

[Boomstick777]

The 7970 was priced a lil more than the GTX 580 3GB at launch and offered more performance.

The Titan was priced 3 times as much as the 7970 at launch while offering 15% - 30% more performance.

Now the GTX 780 will launch and offer 10% - 20% more than the 7970 Ghz, but will probably cost about £200+ more than it.

Let's be honest Nvidia price fleece way more than AMD.

Neither of these companys care about us the consumer lol. They are out to take our money, best thing to do is try and get the bargain bang for buck cards imho.
