NVIDIA 780 Ti Announced (18/10/13)

Noxia · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:08

X Rebirth is out Nov 15th. If the TI comes out around then I could be tempted to wait.

Monster · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:09

Guess I'm gonna have to wait to see some specs of this before I buy a 290x, Nvidias plan has worked and AMD didn't act fast enough!

stulid · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:09

Thats AMD's thunder all washed out.

Fulax · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:14

This will almost certainly be out of my price range. Hopefully it will means 780 price cuts, though.

The support for Gsync intrigues me much more than AMD's true audio

Weirdo.

It didn't take you long doing that survey of every single GPU enthusiast on the interwebz.

I must have missed your survey asking if I felt a GTX780Ti rendered AMDs R9 290(X) release irrelevant, because I can assure you I would have answered, "no it doesn't".

No survey needed.

The 290X shine has been tarnished with this announcement.

I won't, it's GTX branded GPU, the titan was an ultra enthusiast GPU and priced accordingly. I expect the ti to come in at £500-550 with the 780 taking a price cut, titan will go to bed.

Yeah agreed. 290X would be done for if they could drop it down to £370-400 with the Ti coming in at £500. GTX770 maybe dropping to £250.

I can see the serious benefits of this and it will get rid of the need for top end GPU's. From what Linus has said, it makes low frames very smooth and needs to be seen for how smooth it looks. When farmes drop, no longer do we get the lag and when frames are high, the V-Sync style turns off.

Still rough reading but that seems to be the way it works.

Not interested for 1080P personally but 1440P or even 1600P, I am sitting upright.

You seen this Greg,taken from the Geforce site

Alternatively, if you’re a dab hand with a Philips screwdriver, you can purchase the kit itself and mod an ASUS VG248QE monitor at home. This is of course the cheaper option, and you’ll still receive a 1-year warranty on the G-SYNC module, though this obviously won’t cover modding accidents that are a result of your own doing. A complete installation instruction manual will be available to view online when the module becomes available, giving you a good idea of the skill level required for the DIY solution; assuming proficiency with modding, our technical gurus believe installation should take approximately 30 minutes.

Sounds interesting

this is interesing. Your move AMD

Just read it and the good thing is, it will be available for monitors upto 4K next year.

Tarnished yes, all washed out... no. The announcement of a 780Ti does not suddenly make the R9 290X a failure. Like any rational person I will wait for reviews of R9 290X to see how it performs and is priced compared to Titan and GTX780. I will not jump up and down proclaiming all things Nvidia amazing and claiming R.I.P AMD because a GTX780Ti is announced.

290x at £500 is a failure. At £450 and below it might stand a chance against the behemoth that is Nvidia.

alex_123_fra · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:44

Slightly annoying that both Nvidia and AMD are sort of going "you first" to each other with specs/prices. Obviously it makes good business sense to see where the competition is in terms of performance/price but hurry up please!. Upgradeitis is really not treatable without upgrades :mad:

LOL, when did Nvidia become a behemoth? Is it in CPUs, no that's not it... no wait is it with Tegra, no that's not it either. Oh wait, it in consoles... nope. Oh GPUs, ah OK. :rolleyes:

Nvidia have been trying for a long time to become diversify away from GPUs and have failed. Now had you said Intel was a behemoth I would understand.

Kaapstad · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:48

My guess, 780ti will be a 6gb card with standard 780 chip overclocked to non ref levels.

Doing this would involve minimal changes for NVidia and they can get it on the market fast.

BubbySoup · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:48

Nothing has been washed out until we know the single, most important thing - price.

If the 290X comes in well below the 780, it's a winner regardless of how well the Ti does.

If not, well nVidia wins until 20nm

David Bisset · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:48

So, we know next to nothing about this card, next to nothing about its pricing, next to nothing about he 290x, next to nothing about the 290x pricing and people are seriously going to argue over one killing the other?

Oh come on. One will be better than the other, by only a very small bit probably. We don't know which yet. We don't know the prices of either. How about we wait till we actually know something, anything before flying our GPU preference flags? I mean, I know everyone will raise the same flag then as they're flying now but at least we'll have to pretend to use logic.

jamiehavok · 18 Oct 2013 at 18:49

if this is going to beat the titan, what price is it going to be??

No it hasn't. For you maybe but not for everyone.

I feel the same way today about my pre-order as i did yesterday. Ultimately it's up to AMD. If the performance is there and critically the pricing is right i'll be buzzing with my 290Xs
