GTX 780 Ti Specifications Leaked – Full Blown Gk110 Core with 2880 SP

Of course NVIDIA didn’t even ask if we are interested in a sample, so just like always I will announce their card sooner than everyone else

Yeah, that seems like a good way to get NVIDIA on your side....

Admit it, you love these leaks and so do I :)

To be honest I kind of don't see the point in these NDA's. We all know its coming, what is the bad thing about knowing it's performance a few days in advance from reviewers UNLESS it's waiting for a bios update or something like that?

Edit: Unless it's related to stock trading rules, you can't "pump" up the price with rumors before a product is launched.
 
Non disclosure agreements just seem to be more of a brick wall point in the computer industry than others. Loads of people wanting to know how something performs in the finer details. They're basically there to stop other people using your ideas, so in this case a GPU will stay under NDA right up until the final point as that's just the easier date for Joe Blogs in management to right down on a piece of paper.
 
Despite having only this blurry picture I decided to post about this card, because this is the first overclocked GTX 780 Ti that Im am aware of.

UPDATE: Thanks to Ole fra trondheim we have more pictures of the EVGA lineup.

The fact that there is a SuperClocked model most likely means that EVGA also has more GTX 780 Ti cards. There is a chance that manufacturer will launch an ACX model as well, especially after this post on Instagram.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti SuperClocked runs at 980 MHz, which is a base clock, the boost clock is 1046 MHz. That means it’s 118 MHz faster than other GTX 780 Ti that we’ve seen already. Of course also this card will use 3GB GDDR5 memory. It’s worth noting that GTX 780 Ti will support QUAD-SLI configurations.

Looks like they've not done much with the cooler - not that anything needed doing
 
If I may ask: ;)
Would a GTX 780 Ti be a worth wile upgrade for me? Currently running GTX680 Lightning @1080p 120Hz - planning on racking up another 1000+hrs on BF4.

Should I go stock cooler or wait for the aftermarket coolers "truth is I'm a complete MSI fan boy as my last 2 cards have all been MSI Lightning variety"

Also 3 GB version or wait for the "Black Edition 6gb"

I just want a Single "fast" card solution

For 1080p you will not need more than 3GB vram, so don't wait for that at least.

I am assuming your 680 will not run every game at 120hz right now, especially BF4, so yes, it will be an upgrade, a sizeable one, if you got the money for it. But even a 780Ti will not run everything at 120fps.

As for aftermarket vs stock cooler, I couldn't say. Obviously aftermarket will perform better, but this card's potential might not be limited by temp.. at least aftermarket will be quieter (And more expensive). Depends how long you are willing to wait.

The GTX 780 Ti was tested with 3d Mark11 Extreme Test scoring 5600 and reaching a maximum observed temperature of 83C.

Yes it does run hotter than previous NVIDIA cards, but its a full fat GK110 and just like the AMD cards it is designed to run at such temperatures.

It is quieter though, but it is not silent, but I'd say quiet for sure. :)

83C > 95C

There's a lot of doom and gloom around the 95C temperature, because people are used to a world where the product is designed to run as cold as possible... but that's not the world we're living in with these units. The doom and gloom is based on an old viewpoint.

95C is the optimal temperature that allows the board to convert its power consumption into meaningful performance for the user. Every single component on the board is designed to run at that temperature throughout the lifetime of the product.

If you throttle the temperature down below that threshold, then the board must in turn consume less power to respect the new temperature limit. Consuming less power means lowering vcore and engine clock, which means less performance.

You want to take full advantage of product TDP to maximize performance, and that is accomplished with a 95C ideal operating temperature for the 290 and 290X.

Even with a third-party cooling solution, like the Accelero 3 some users have started deploying, the logic of PowerTune will still try to maximize TDP by allowing temperatures to float higher until some other limit is met (voltage, clock, fan RPM, whatever).

It's so bloody smart and it kills me that more people don't fully understand it.
 
There is no reference black edition and speculation of that 'special edition' hasn't even been acknowledged by Nvidia. May not even happen or may be similar to the scenario around GHz edition leak by Videocardz when instead it was about a custom 780 which OcUK are already selling. Good to have an alternative if 780 Ti is around the £560 mark.

Hmm, 95c is hot no matter how you slice it, thermal limitations causing a GPU to download is not good no matter how they try and spin it.

AMD cheaped out on the coolers in order to hit a lower price point. If 95c is impressive and "It's so bloody smart", then Nvidia's 83c must be amazing.

290's are best under water, that cooler is awful, no one wants a 95c part in their case. Epic card, awful cooler.

What is frustrating is Black Edition or not, 6GB versions will be literally just around the corner. Probably before Crimbo.

Yeah be gutted to buy 3GB version than 6GB appears soon after..

Pay day at end of the month, will 6GB cards be around then Gibbo?????

95c is fine as long as it stays there. Don't forget Fermi used to be safe up until 110C.

If they think the silicon can take it then there is no reason for anyone else to doubt it. I was surprised with mine just how little ambient heat the 290X produced regardless of the temps.

There's a reason for as cold as possible, lower power consumption.

I think silicon melts at 126c, not 100% sure on that but I know its a figure between 120-130c. :)

So 95c is pretty cool, compared to melt down point. ;)

Yeah but Fermi was to hot as well :p

Obviously AMD will try and make 95c seem like a positive, but we know it's not. It's hitting the limits of 28nm and needs water to really shine. Non ref coolers will do a better job, you think third party vendors will be aiming for 95c on their non ref parts? Hell no, everyone wants lower temps, less throttling :D

Thx Make
A sizeable upgrade is what I wanted to hear & "I have the money as i was saving for 780" - don't mind the extra Ton for the Ti version...Just don't know if I should jump now or wait for the all-out, guns blazing, no-holds-barred MSI Lightning ;)
