Do you have any idea how you sound? Like one of those girls screaming at a boy band concert. Crying and screaming NVIDIA! NVIDIA!!! Its sickening to read your posts they are that LAME. Seriously a little bit of sick went into my mouth reading your post.

Calling people clueless is funny given the 3 months you have been on this forum. You only ever post about how good the nvidia brand is. I mean you have zero clue about their products. You just scream for team green.

Keep it coming. Delicious fanboy tears, mmmmm

Its not the worlds fault you can`t afford the best GPUs from Nvidia. But don`t take it on other people on forums because you have to settle with the worse performing hardware

There's no need to post things like "delicious fanboy tears." Stop derailing the thread.

BUHUUU, listen to all the AMD fanboys crying because Nvidia will cash in big bucks on this, and people will buy GTX 780 everywhere.

You guys are clueless. I laugh at your' attempts to always bring up price/performance when it never works that way.
GTX Titan cost 100% more than GTX 780, offered 40% better performance, yet sold like crazy.

Delicious AMD fanboy tears. Keep on whining.

NVIDIA I LOVE YOU! HAVE MY BABIES!

Yesterday people were laughing because GTX 780 won`t beat 7970GHz in Crysis 3.

Today we are laughing at you

i dont care about super expensive GPUs, when i upgrade i buy second hand top cards of last gen. but if i had bought a Titan at 999$ i'd be really pissed right now.

Gigabyte is selling the card for the same MSRP. So it's fair. People have a choice.

Good. It only took them 18 months to get a winner AMD can't touch. Pat yourself on the back for the astute observation.

It's too bad this card can't compete with 7970 in realistic terms which actually consider price, something the loyalists can't fathom. Congratulations, they released what the 680 should have been when it was released, over a year later and with the added bonus of charging more for it.
Again, you missed the point. When a card decisively outperforms the competitors best, it immediately steps out of the value equation. Thats the way virtually all enthusiast products work, incl Intels i7-3960. If AMD had done this with a similar card released now (with no 780 to compete with), they probably would have priced it similarly. Or maybe not since it may not hold the same 'must have' appeal as Nvidias top dogs. :biggrin:

Also nothing new here.The 8800gtx and gtx280 were both priced at same price point as the 780 when they were released.

Crazy how Nvidia is getting their cake and eating AMD's


780, ~15% faster than 7970 Ghz ed and 680 for $650 is awesome??

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125439

OC 7970 at 1.1ghz, $449. So that's 10% extra perf in that chart for the same price. Is it fair to include that then?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150586

Or this, $359 AR for Ghz ed.. that would skew the perf/$ chart massively. Is it fair to include that??

Cherry picking skews results. If the majority of the compared card is reference, the fair comparison is to ref.

Give it a rest already. Considering that GTX 780 has a better cooler, better materials, better build quality, better features (GPU Boost 2.0), and more VRAM than GTX 680, the price is reasonable for a high end card. Launch price of GTX 680 was $499 USD, so launch price of GTX 780 is 30% higher, even though performance [at 19x10 resolution] is 35% higher on average according to Geforce.com .

Are you seriously comparing launch price vs launch price. The fact that GTX680 can as of today be purchased for $410 - $450 is irrelevant?

1% of 410 = 4.1
650 - 410 = 240

~55% - 59% increase in price for ~20% - 25% performance increase. Stop with the fanboy figure fudging to make GTX780 prices look acceptable.

You aren't reading that chart correctly. The average performance improvement in that test suite at 25x16 resolution is ~22%. Anyway, a combination of performance, build quality, and materials quality from a high end single GPU explains the price.

But consumer budgets aren't infinite. You can't fault people for being angry that Nvidia can't provide an alternative to Tahiti for people who want more than midrange performance while still being value conscious.

Oh dont worry, he read different reviews. They just happen to all come down to 15% like he really got from TPU using his wonderful math skills

What? They can buy other nVidia cards in the same price bracket with the same performance.

Prior, Titan was ~35% faster than gtx680 and ~25% faster than 7970Ghz, over many reviews. The 780 is ~10% slower than Titan.

In that particular review with those games, its ~21.5% faster than the Ghz, but also, in that review, the 680 is neck-neck with the Ghz....

So if you biased NV fanboys think the 680 is as fast as Ghz ed..

That graph makes no sense.

HD7970 1.05ghz can be bought for $400.
GTX780 costs $650.
GTX780 is 22% faster at that resolution in performance.

Based on TPU's own data, you pay 62.5% more for a 22% increase in performance on a stock 780 and 37% comparing GTX780 OC vs. a stock 7970Ghz

TPU failed hard at calculating basic mathematics and plotting it on a graph.

Computerbase has it 16-17% faster only for a $250 price increase. Ouch. You can head over there to check out their price/performance graphs and it's clear as ever that HD7970Ghz destroys the GTX780 in price/performance by miles.

Next time try to look at the graph and see if it makes any sense...

Many people here can afford $650-1000 GPUs but won't buy them out of principle because it sets a precedent that these prices are OK. If we accept, moving on GPUs will start selling at higher prices from both companies. You keep looking at it as NV vs. AMD but NV and AMD are loving this. You are making fun of people who talk about price/performance but that implies you like paying more for products that in the past have cost less. I guess NV knows its customer base very well, much like Apple.

HD7970 $549 vs. $450 GTX580 = 22% price increase for a 20-25% increase in performance in stock form and 50-60% in overclocked form (NV fans bitch and moan)

GTX780 $649 vs. $400 HD7970 1.05ghz = 62.5% price increase for a 20% increase in performance in stock form and 37% in overclocked form (NV fans do not scream and shout....)

This card looks good if someone is coming from the GTX580 or comparing it to the Titan. If I had Titans, I would sell them and get 3x 780s instead.

Street prices are subject to change at any time. Yes, at current street prices the GTX 680 gives more perf/$, but there are other things to consider such as build/materials quality, acoustics/temps, extra VRAM, etc.

Pricing is legit concern. nVidia is just extending the market, they saw they could pickup area between 500-1000. I don't expect any performance increase at $200 for 6+ months.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

If I had the means I'd buy two and be damn happy with the value prop.

Just when I decide high end PC gaming could be fun, Nvidia changes the rules of the game and bumps prices way up.

Good for them, bad for me. Oh well, I'm not really their market anyway. Back to gaming on my laptop. AMD's 8000 refresh is this year, and their 9000 series is next year right?

Because how I see it, AMD is gaming I can afford... or well that I care to pay for.

And the fighting begins.....
Quick question and I will let you get back to it.

So in Anand's review is the GTX 780 is boosting to these clocks in the benchmarks?



if so, the base clock really means nothing... I wonder if the open air Evga version will boost higher?
