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

[Boomstick777]

£550 at launch for a fully unlocked Kepler card, isn't that bad.

I challenge anyone to make a cheaper one themselves .

GTX 780ti kind of GPU is really aimed at the enthusiast, for everyone else there are plenty of options..

Anyone who thinks this is too expensive but wants a top end card can grab a 780/290X for under £400 or a 290 for just over £300. It isn't a given that the fastest card MUST be within peoples price range. If nobody buys them, then they have no choice but to drop prices but if people buy them, it is apparent that others deem it worthy of the price tag.

Hmm not available on the website yet..was this the release date for usa only or europe? I didn't see it for preorder either

I mean at my point having no gpu installed on my pc, am I right in waiting for a custom ti or just go for the custom 780?

[yoyo59]

[MooMoo444]

So wonder if we will see a lot of people offloading their 780's

Give me one for SLI baby!

Edit - Also a 7800GTX in 2005 was circa £350, not £500. That was the fastest card of the year as far as I remember.

I remember paying £400 for an X1800XT released at a similar time. £400 8 years ago would be a lot more now.

Luckily I managed to sell it shortly after and get most of my money back as soon as I heard the X1950 was coming.

But yeah these top performing cards being released for £400-£500 is nothing new.

I believe it's actually 15:00, however, I could be wrong.

Yep, people have short memories. A £500 card 8 years ago is probably equivalent to a £7-800 card now.

2pm and counting

 

[rpggamesplayer]

2pm if the leaks are correct

 

[rpggamesplayer]

2pm and counting

~£520 accounting for inflation and VAT rise.

Accounting for inflation a Voodoo 5 6000 would have cost more than a Titan lol.

If we're being technical, then there's been approx 25% inflation since 2005 according to:

http://www.rateinflation.com/inflat...-inflation-rate?start-year=2005&end-year=2013

£400 then would be £500 now

£500 would be £625

etc etc.

With the extra 2.5% VAT you are almost correct. As I said though I found prices for a 7800GTX at £350 though just 2 months after launch.

 

[ToxicTBag]

you going to get one?

No

 

[AgedIdiot]

Am not thinking of buying any new gpu.

In particular this one, which I anticipate will be the quickest out there (at least for a few days) but be too expensive when compared to 780/290

However am still looking forward to the release ; just as much as I was looking forward to the release of the 290X and the 290

AND from the point of view of a UK resident releasing at 2pm is way more excitement building than 5am - Kudos to nvidia marketing team

As better half would say - 'Sad, definately just Sad - boys and toys ?!'

Enthusiast markets never work like that though. The only thing we can take comfort in is we are not alone. In any hobby/enthusiast/niche market, if you make the best/fastest product, you can pretty much charge what you like. It's not that the price is deemed worthy, it's that common & financial sense go out the window when people like us are faced with shiny new toys.
