Official GTX780 review thread

"770 is 680 price level

Bear in mind were selling 680's now close to £350 as 770 will eventually replace that model. "

Sounds to me like it will be £350, maybe even less.

There are some 680's still at edge the of £400 though and some over it.

So 680 released at £400? lets say 770 will be 400 and is a 10% increase(according to leaked benchmarks), the 780 is £550 and a 26% increase, meaning the difference between 770 and 780 is 16% and £150.

[EDIT] I have found speculated $449 price tags for the 770, so call that £300+20% = £360. The 780 has is £516 after VAT but we know they are £550 which is £30-40 on top of VAT. Assuming the same happens with the 770 then expect prices of £390 to £400 minimum.

The is a really easy way to convert $ to £ for GPU's, that doesn't get effected by exchange rates, "ripoff UK", etc. Simply take your $449 estimate, and look what card by that manufacturer sells for that in the US. The answer is the GTX680 which starts at $449 with some on offer for $430. Now look at what the GTX680 costs here, £400 on OcUK with a bunch on offer right now for as low as £360.

It stands to reason that if the GTX770 will follow the GTX680's price in the US exactly, it will do the same here.

Beast of a card - EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooler 3 GB >> http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_780_SC_ACX_Cooler/1.html

Nice marketing EVGA, too bad the Gigabyte GTX 780 Windforce runs cooler though, as for clocks - all down to the silicon lottery as usual.

So that beats a stock Titan and a stock GTX 780 is only a few frames slower than Titan.....

Who on earth is going to buy a Titan now :confused: Titan is still £250-300 more. Madness pricing by Nvidia. Titan will have to drop to around £650 for it to be even considered now surely.
 
So, not a single user from OcUK has done any bench results yet :(

Poor show men (and Girls). Get it done and show us the results :p

Titan was stupidly priced even before the gtx780 was released and they still sold well. Some people just want the best money can buy and that's still titan. Some people on extreme resolution's might want the 6gb of ram. I do think the gtx780 will impact on Titan sales but like i say some just want the best with no compromises.
 
£1000 for a single core GPU that's only 30% faster than the £350 competition "oh... but its the fastest one out there so its worth it"

2 months later they release another one, stick the same cooler as the Titan on it, clock it higher to bring it with in a few % of that £1000 (now £800 - £900) GPU and charge a ridicules £550+ for it "Oh... but its like the £900 Titan, almost as fast with the same cooler, so its worth it"

Good Grief..... Nicely done. that's all I can say :)

If I had to choose again I would still go for the Titan as it fits my needs better.

Having said that I did think about buying a GTX 780 to put in one of my other rigs as I think they will be a lot of fun for benching.

Same for me Kaap. the 780 is a fantastic performing card but sadly wouldn't be much good for me at the resolution I game at. I am not a fan of turning down settings personally but would need to for playing Crysis 3 and who knows what other games to get the VRAM under that 3GB.

I like how people with no intention of buying a Titan or 780 can have a pop at people who have or will and that is justified but if someone was to go into a 7870 thread for instance and say something derogative such as "Playing games with settings turned down is pathetic and should have saved money and bought a console for those style gfx", I guess that person would be ripped a new one....

I have a 7870 and no I don't play games with settings turned down, I think you have had the best possible GPU privilege for so long you have forgotten about mid range GPU's being perfectly capable of playing games with high settings :p
That is without expensive elaborate clustered monitor layouts which someone on a 7870 cannot afford anyway.
