Geforce GTX 780, 770 coming in May

Wise words

780 at launch will not be had for less than £600 - more likely £650 plus (IMHO)

Why would anyone pay over £650 for a 3GB 780, when you can get a 6GB titan for under £800?

Titan has twice the vRAM and more processing power.

Not sure that stacks up :confused:... Anyway I HOPE that not the case.:(

I'm out if its over £600 for sure!:mad:

Edit:
680 launched 1 year ago @ ~£425. Will 780 really be over 50% more expensive 12months later! Can't see even NV doing that!

I think he meant buying two 760ti's which will still be overpriced for their performance and then switching to high end cards later on which will still be overpriced.

Maybe, from what I've seen the 760 Ti's are just rebranded GTX 670's with higher clocks. So even at launch prices will be good bang for buck, certainly better than the GTX 780's / Titan etc.

During the summer I won't be gaming much anyway, but my 660's are taking a whooping in Metro LL later levels so I do need an upgrade already lol. Just not willing to spend crazy money..
 
For me the premium was for PhysX (I think it made PS2 really nice in big battles) but that premium is getting too costly I think from the sounds of the pricing in this thread. Was hoping to upgrade to a GTX780 with a view to going SLI/water but not at £600. Christ, I got a ASUS GTX580 2nd hand for £170 around about November and it's done the job dandy up until now.

Stick it out for the sake of spending another £700 to move ONE card up, to play the end of Metro Last Light.

To then go and blow another £1200 or so on another two high end cards when Maxwell or AMDs VI arrive in 2014; 7-8 months later.

I'd rather hold out until Maxwell, get SLI & triple monitor. You even say so yourself you won't be gaming as much in the summer anyway!

£700, what the hell are you talking about?

There not going to price the 760 ti more than 670 price bracket..

Um, clearly my wanting to upgrade has offended you in some way. You feel the need to criticize me wanting an upgrade to continue playing games at max settings, bit weird but whatever..

Glad you're happy to wait until Maxwell, notice I'm not attacking you for it?
 
It hasn't, and I'm not attacking you...

It's a new card (albeit a rehash, it's still new), I wouldn't be surprised if it comes in at £300-£350. It's Nvidia, they milk every penny they can.

Yeah, i think the sensible thing to do would be to hang on for the 20nm GPU's, i think both AMD and Nvidia 20nm GPU's will put a barrage of torpedoes into the side of these and GTX Titan.

The only reason Nvidia are rehashing GPU's now is to respond to rapid market shrinkage and AMD's decent showing in that.

Its also why, i suspect, some reviewers are putting low price predictions out there.
 
Looking at his rig he probably has a pretty big disposable income anyway... What do I care, only trying to offer advice. Sorry if that offended you.

You'd be surprised how much people pay for their parts.
He made a thread on it, just check his threads created.

Buying two midrange cards to then upgrade to two high ends is a strange way of doing it i must admit...would have saved money keeping the Titan if that was the case.

I bought the 660's really cheap, there only struggling to keep up with things like Metro LL and Crysis 3 etc, so it's time to upgrade but I don't wanna spend stupid money.. Two 760 Ti's will be a big step up from two 660's. I really don't know why it's become a big discussion lol.. I will get them and then change them out for whatever better value cards comes along later.. Can we move on now lol :D.

You need to become like me, learn to turn the settings down ;)
Keeping the 660s till AMD show their hand might make more sense than upgrading to two more mid range cards tbh, that's what i would do.
