Hawaii happened
AMD didn't think nVidia would release GK110 as a consumer card.

Neck and neck.??..
If more than one card is needed the 290X scaling is 93.5%
for two cards and still 86% for 3 according to AMD s slides
wich are right for dual GPU according to the first leaks.
Neither did a lot of people who didn't want to accept GK104 and Tahiti's status as mid-range 28nm products with huge price hikes.
Yeah I suspect there has to be some deal going on. Why would NVIDIA support this site so much otherwise? Having a slant towards one manufacturer just kills the credibility of any website IMO. Same with Anandtech and their AMD deal.
So,you saying Anand's test results are not reliable and have a bias towards AMD because of the advertising they do here?
Based on the product stack, I doubt many here denied that GK104 is not a mid-range chip. The difference is the performance is far above a mid-range next gen card.

How do you know that silicon haven`t improved?
I just posted one chart earlier stating otherwise.

If it has, they can add more cores, and since its a gamers card, they can clock it more agressively than Titan.
They have a ton of power headroom from Titan up to 290X to give it more juice to reach higher clocks on those 2880 cores.
They can do GTX 780 + 1SMX though, but considering how close GTX Titan and 780 is, that would be kinda silly if you ask me.
[x] Nvidia being silly confirmed? ^_^
between this 780Ti and the 290x, if they are within %5 of each other in games its going to be a tough choice for gamers to pick. If Nvidia price is about same as amd offering, it will come down to feature sets you really want.
I don't see mantle doing anything major in games, no game company wants to cripple the other side, on other hand nvidia goes and throws into the mix some interesting tech like shadowplay and G-sync if it actually plays out to be something worthwhile.
The whole issue with lots of people is do you wait a about a month for Nvidia offering, or get AMD 290x for BF4 and hope nvidia card is not better.
Stupid choices, people make you think they are good!
There were a lot of people who didn't agree that GK104 was a mid-range die, for whatever reason. Many also didn't believe GK110 would ever come to consumers, many believed these things.
We've never had mid-range cards use as much power as these mid-range cards do, with greater power comes greater performance.
Tahiti uses a bit over 200w and the 680 uses 170-190, granted there is still some abnormal increase in performance, but not to the point where double the price point makes any sense whatsoever.
FAKE. That would have a smaller gap than the 670-680 had, in other words worthless.

Why?
8,3% more SMX
4,5% more base clock
5,8% more boost clock
-> 13-14% more performance. Sounds decent to me. Even if it doesn't scale perfectly and is only 10%, it's okay and should be enough to slightly beat the 290 (non-X).
You people honestly thought the 780 Ti would have 2880 cores and be priced the same as a regular 780?
