NVIDIA 780 Ti Announced (18/10/13)

I wanted to order a 290X but the 780Ti looks very interesting, it sucks that I have to wait for at least another month to decide :(

Are there any news regarding non-reference Ti's? Will they be released mid November too?

There is always something coming around the corner, you can spend your whole life waiting and upgrades will never end.

I think the only sure thing here is the 780TI will be a lot more expensive than the 290X

Sorry in what way is that a sure thing, your guessing just as the rest of us are.







hopefully your wrong and they will both be cheap :D

Yeah waiting sucks... I'm seriously bottlenecked by my GPU and I have to buy one fast, if I had a better one I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of months.

Yea...choices is not really choices, if one of the choices is above your affordable price range...

Suppose that the 290X and 780Ti are totally equal in performance, I wouldn't get the 780Ti if it is more than £30 more expensive than the 290X.

Its still listed as £800 and up here, it will have to drop to half that for the 780TI to come in at £500, if the specs on the 780TI are even right.

No boby knows what the 780ti spec are going to be.

What we do know is that the 780ti will replace the GTX 780 at that price point. So the GTX 780 is either getting a price cut or is going to be discontinued.

Working on a RRP of 550 pounds it is also a safe bet that the 780ti is not going to have silly amounts of VRAM or come on a full fat GK110 chip. This leaves the option of a 12 or 13 SMX module chip with a good factory overclock and maybe 4.5 or 6gb of VRAM.

You say "What we do know is that the 780ti will replace the GTX 780 at that price point." do we know that?
For all we do know is the 780TI will replace the GTX Titan, the TI suggests its going to be faster than the 780, given that the 780 is less than 10% slower than the Titan I would hazard a guess its a full fat GK110 core closer to Titan's current price point, possibly even $1000 again. with 'IT' getting discontinued.

Didn't Nvidia say "fastest GPU we ever created" ? this is a replacement for the GTX Titan, not the 780, i very much doubt it will be priced to compete with the R9 290X, which looks to be trading blows with the Titan, for that reason also, i think Nvidia are throwing in the biggest gun they have, just to stay ahead even if its only 10%, they can still charge £700 or more for it knowing it will sell like alcohol in an AA clinic.

And then there is this 4K thing, Nvidia are pushing that and they may want a GPU that they can advertise as a "4K specialist" with an appropriate 4K price tag. i guarantee they already have a line of reviewers selected to sing its praises on how awesome and fantastic it is with 4K.

I'd put money on thats what this is, the bigging up of it has already started.

Calling it now.

780 Ti - Same amount of RAM, mild overclock, £20-30 more expensive than the 780.

780 - Drops in price by about £20-£30 (maybe more), slowly phased out by NVidia.
 
I don't think the new card will be a full fat gk110 as to me that would probably warrant something along the line's of gtx785. It will more likely be a clocked up gtx780 or a 13 smx 2496 shader part with higher clocks to make it there fastest gpu. Did they say fastest gpu or most powerful?

What difference would fastest vs most powerful make?

Titan is more powerful than a gtx780 but if you clock up a gtx780 it then becomes faster but we all know that titan is more powerful if you clock it up. The new gpu might be faster but titan is more powerful to us who overclock. Basically look at the spec's between a titan and a gtx780 lightning it's obvious which is more powerful as one has higher stats and is the same architecture but the gtx780 has the clock speed to be faster.

It was NVidia themselves in their presentation who said it would ship at the GTX 780s price point.

With benchmarks of the Radeon R9 290X doing rounds, it's getting increasingly clear that NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 780 won't remain competitive with the Radeon R9 290X for too long; and the R9 290X isn't competitive with the GeForce GTX TITAN enough to warrant a price-cut for the $999.99 SKU. NVIDIA's solution to the tangle is a newer SKU that replaces the GTX 780 from its current $649.99 price-point, which trades blows with the R9 290X. Called GeForce GTX 780 Ti, the SKU could be an overclocked GTX 780, or one that ships with a few more CUDA cores. NVIDIA didn't reveal any technical specifications, other than posting a teaser picture CGI render. To quote NVIDIA on this, "Stay tuned for details."

Nothing definitive in that, rumors, what they say seems kinda odd.

They say the R9 290X is not competitive with the Titan, but is competitive with the 780, are they breaking NDA? do they even know what the final results are going to be? jumping the gun.....

So with that reasoning they are proposing it will have a few more CUDA cores than the 780, but a few less than the Titan, so its what, a couple of % faster than the 780 and a couple of % slower than the Titan?

Good Grief really? margin of error performance increments between 3 GPU's

Be that as it may, i doubt AMD have anything to be concerned about, especially if the 290X is as fast as the Titan.
