looks to be a nice gpu
Thursday next week is it for the unveil?
So with no price gouging, this will be £525, compared to the old 780 price, this seems decent. Anyone not happy with that can get a 780 cheaper and with 3 free games.
Everyone is a winner (I am sure someone will find a way to not be happy still)
With these confirmed specs, it should make the 290X look ridicules but it is priced a fair bit over.

Edit: Hopefully these will be the same layout as Titan/780 for waterblocks, but I have heard that the power circuits are beefed up, so possibly not.

A king in nothing but name only, but I suppose it's good enough for Nvidia fans. You know what they say about a fool and his money.
All joking aside, 780Ti looks like a great card and will probably end up around 10% faster than R9 290X. I just hope the rumours of it being $150 (£112 with VAT) more expensive are exaggerated because a 26% price premium for such little gains is back to rip off Nvidia.
Isn't that normal? On the fastest product, don't expect to pay 10% more for 10% more performance over the next fastest product, there's always a premium to pay without even considering other qualities such as looks vs the competitors, supporting software etcetc.
Compare the fastest road car to the next fastest.It's price will be multiples of the % extra performance it offers over it's rival.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti is about 20% faster than 290X in Quiet Mode. In Uber Mode R9 290X is still slower than 780 Ti, but only by 13%.
Power consumption appeared to be higher from the other leaked benchies.

Lets lose the green vs red mentality and don't compare to R9 290X, compare to GTX780. Many people on this forum will have noticed that the AIB custom cooled OC 780s, which can be bought for ~£380 are almost as fast as a reference R9 290X. If we compare the rumoured price of 780Ti to a custom cooled GTX780 it is an almost 50% price hike for ~15% performance. Now that is why I made my "fool and his money" post.
I don't expect price increase to performance ratio to be linear, but it should at least not take the ****. Price perf between GTX780 and R9 290X is now roughly correct, same with 770 and 280X. We should not accept that a ~10%-15% performance increase suddenly warrants a 30%-50% premium.
