GTX 780 = £500 to £600.

320Bit bus is welcome but its still not 384Bit.

If true why they haven't used a 384bit bus with 3gb leaves me a little lost.

That said 320 is a nice improvement over the 680.

Not defending Nvidia for their bus choices but I did expect massive gains when gaming at 5760x1080 over a 690 and had expected to beat it in some instances with a single Titan but the 256bit bus isn't as limiting as I first thought. I would have agreed with both of you 3 months ago but having witnessed the different buses in action, like I said, the 256bit bus isn't as bad as I made out anyways.

I'm pretty sure Diagro was referring to 5870 at £330. Strictly speaking both 7950 and GTX670 are mid-high range cards (same tier as GTX570 and 6970) that got pushed up the so called "high-end" (despite it is the 7970/GTX680 that are the actual high-end), because of both company releasing more cards than needed within the small performance gaps at the lower price brackets thus stacking up the pricing. Things was nice and simple with just the 5770, 5850, 5870 back then (even the 5830 was deem something not needed). Don't really need an extra card for every £15-£20 higher at sub £200.

This is just my opinion and people may or may not agree, but no doubt someone will call me "price-moaning" again, as clearly I'm forbidden to talk about pricing.
 
I think a lot of people (me included) will wait for Battlefield 4 to see how our current cards fare in it, and then decide whether to buy these new cards or not based on that. Thats what i'm gonna do anyway :D
 
To be fair the current price of 680's is not far off what I paid for mine at launch. I'm sure this is due to a number of factors which are not in nvidia's control: inflation, exchange rates and competition however I'm now convinced that there is no real benefit of waiting for price drops after launch. As long as the 780 performs well in comparision to the high end 7970's and is priced below £500 then I think I'll be buying.

Guess the other option for us 680/7970 owners is to wait for the flood of cards on the MM and go SLI/Crossfire.
 
If Gregsters quoted chart is correct http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=24170461&postcount=95

Then it looks like the GTX 780 is indeed a baby Titan and may put it 15% slower than Titan or 25% faster than the GTX 680 for £500 to £600, it may well end up closer to £600 than £500 IMO, which would be to much.

But: the GTX 770 looks like it will be what was a GTX 680 4GB for £400, and the 760TI looks to be what was the GTX 670 for £300, which still puts it in more expensive than AMD's HD 7000 series.

Having said that it puts what was the GTX 680 4GB in much cheaper as the GTX 770, and the GTX 760TI a little less than the GTX 670, Provided they don't creep over those £300 and £400 price tags.
 
If you look back through the archives of websites, the 8800 Ultra came in at a whopping £489 at launch. Chuck on some RPI/CPI and Titan isn't far off what would be expected. I know it doesn't work like that (RPI at well over 4% for a number of years but average pay increases ~ 2%).

I am looking at these prices as the norm now sadly.
 
Exciting ? - not really.(Look to be too costly for not that much improvement in current games etc)

Do not see myself changing my 7950 to these or the 'new' 8000 series.

Then again I'm not factoring the upgrade itch which affects from time to time , so may well have to eat my words one day.

I hope not, but i fear you may be right.
 
To be fair the 680's were a solid improvment over the 580's and prices in the low £400's on launch which is not a massive departure from the norm.

I think Titan is a different beast entirely because you are getting a card which was effectively designed for enterprise computation with a spec to boot.

I still don't see how inflation is "too" relevant to tech products though? I mean if the prices of things like rams, HDD goes up, it would more because of the cost of the components/features of the products (which competitiors cannot offer) rather than inflation? So I'd think GPU prices should be more to do with wafer cost?

You need to stop talking prices in GBP because AMD doesn't set their RRP in GBP.

If you want to compare prices, compare the USD RRP prices.

Because otherwise you have to take in to account inflation, and the fluctuations of the exchange rate, something you're not currently doing.

Inflation plus a weak pound to the dollar means higher prices for products bought and sold wholesale in USD.

A bit of inflation and a drop in exchange rate has a massive effect on prices.
 
Indeed. Factor in inflation/currency exchange rates and then production costs reducing and prices are about right nowadays. I don't think there's anymore price gouging than there was back in the day. And it's retailers who do it more which often gets forgot :D.

And Marine you do moan about prices a lot. In fact if I was to peruse your last 100 posts in the GPU forum I'm sure a fairly decent percentage of them are price moaning.

Moan away but don't get upset when people point out the flaws of the argument when you aren't taking into account inflation. :)
