If the gap is too big NVidia may as well all but give up making the Titan in any numbers.

Turkeys don't vote for xmas.:D

I don't see it like that. We are talking a new line up called the 700-series cards. Yes the 760 and 770 share architecture with the older gen and are in essence rebadged but that doesn't mean the top of the range mainstream card (780) justifies a price of £700+ just because titan came out a few months ago.

I don't think Nvidia care as much about titan owners as one would like to think. They probably don't make massive numbers of titans but again what they do make will get sold as it is "top of the line". The 780 isn't and it won't command anywhere near the price. £600-650 would be the absolute max and even that is taking the p.i.s.s.
 
No new drivers to speak of...yet.

Gibbo is also unsually quiet :confused:

@ £700 I'll try a 7970 lightning and a custom loop instead, £550 really *should* be the max given *80 series history, the Titan seems to have badly distorted GPU pricing.
 
Phoned OCUK earlier to pre-order a new techlabs 780 with a waterblock preinstalled and the chap wasn't giving away anything on the phone. He said they don't know the eta. They don't know the price. They don't know how long waterblocks will take and it will take longer on top of the launch date.

I read earlier in the thread about Titan owners will be raging if these results are true but I for one hope they are true. Games are requiring more grunt of late (FarCry3/Crysis3/Tomb Raider etc) and for us forum enthusiasts at least, if the price is semi decent <£500, I can see some very happy 780 owners. I certainly won't be raging and as many of us here enjoy bigger than normal screens (resolutions) and multi screens with very high details, this kind of grunt is needed. If we are all honest with ourselves, we would like nothing more than to play every game with the highest possible settings and at a very decent frame rate but not everyone wants a dual card system to obtain those settings, so a 780 is a viable option if the price is right.

I hope Kaap is wrong and these cards do come in at sub £500 (I doubt that I am right). Having seen the price for ~$719 I think it was on an American site, there is hope :)

I think the only thing that will possiblely give a lower price is how much NVidia/users value the 3gbs difference in vram.

Agree 100%. In one year, and in one generation going from £4XX for 680 to ~£700 (75% more!) for 780 is lunacy. Even with a premium for the NV "brand" i can't see it.

Haha ! Not really though, I bought into Titan hype and bought one regretted it and sold it. Ever since I've been waiting on some decent priced GPU's.. Found the 7950's lol. Happy for a year or so on these beauty's. I'll join the next gen when the prices aren't bonkers :p

Titan >> 480 SOC >> 660 SLI >> 7950 TRI in the space of 8 weeks? :eek:

I haven't even had a graphics card since around Sept/Oct lol. :(

Hasn't it been confirmed that Titan water blocks will fit? the PCB's are almost identical (as in, as near as makes no difference the same).

Yes I think it has but they are apparently not allowed to crack open any 780s until official launch? That is the impression I was given in that I will have to wait longer after launch to actually buy a waterblocked card.
