Do you guys think the 780ti will be as fast as 3x 680s? Or close?

I normally play at 1600p

No. I think 2x 680s will likely outperform the 780ti in almost everything except where the VRAM becomes an issue. WO you might find a game where ssaa or high msaa is possible with a single 780ti where it isn't on the 680s due to VRAM limits. But 3 of them is certainly faster than one top end card.

Good news

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti with 3GB, 6GB and 12GB memory

The new NVIDIA’s flagship is much more than GeForce GTX 780 replacement. Despite the fact that reference card will only arrive with 3GB memory, it does not mean that there won’t be the cards with more memory. The rumor has it that NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti will be available in 3 versions: 3GB, 6GB and even 12GB. Which version are you going to choose will only depend on how deep your pockets are.
VIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti has great overclocking potential

NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti features 876 MHz base clock and 928 MHz boost clock. I managed to confirm that with stock cooler it can overclock up to 1240 MHz (based on Afterburner readings). I even saw a GPU-Z screenshot with 1851 MHz memory clock (7.4 GHz). I don’t know if these are stable clocks, all I know it was enough to complete multiple 3Dmark benchmark runs, which I saw.

Isn't a titan sli already on par if not better than 3x 680s? So wouldn't two 780ti cards be well beyond that?

12GB in a standard edition? Impossibru!

Nvidia probably give OEMs free roam to do whatever they want to make more SKUs to sell more GPUs. Since GK110-B stepping overclock really good, both memory amount and clocks will vary quite a bit I guess.

The GPU-Z on the first page is likely just one of them

Interesting.

The black model have exact same specs as the GPU-Z in the first page.

NVIDIA is also planning to launch a faster variant of GeForce GTX 780 Ti. Just as I told you in my previous post, GTX 780 Ti will also be available in 6GB and 12GB variants, these cards will be available in special, possibly limited editions.

I don’t know the exact name of these cards yet, so I will just refer to them as ‘special editions.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti special black edition
While the original GTX 780 Ti will run at 876/928 MHz clocks, the exclusive special edition will boost to 1000/1033 MHz (unconfirmed). Both variants will have the same memory clock of 7 GHz. The clock speeds are not the only difference. The faster GTX 780 TI has no TDP limit (at least on paper). This card is basically what Uber Mode is to R9 290X, only here you get higher clocks and more memory.
According to our sources, GeForce GTX 780 Ti will arrive with black cooler, so this is more than just a new BIOS.

The rest of the specs shouldn’t really change much. I don’t know if this card is going to be released along with 3GB models, all we know for certain, is that it will not be cheap.
Please note, the picture is just my interpretation of the ‘black 780 Ti’.

I wonder if they will stop the voltage neutering now that they have (presumably) competition?

I detect the goalpost shift from the complaints about uber mode now that nv copied it.

It sounds like they are trying to do just enough to keep cards going up to $1k. Limited black editions, 6GB, etc.

This thing might actually beat the 290x, I guess that's what they are targeting now that they waited for a few weeks after the 290x.

Goal post shifting? No. Uber mode itself is not the problem, but the testing procedures are.

LOL, yeah really. "Uber" mode was AMD's attempt to shift the goal posts by adding a "mode" that is unbearably loud to most reviewers yet has better benchmark scores. There is no magic in cranking up fan speeds to keep a GPU operating at higher frequencies.

They should reap the fans apart before attempting to review graphics cards. There is no magic in cooling a GPU to increase operating frequencies.
Bare die furmark scores next time plz... common sense...

hardocp already found that having more than 3gb was useful if running sli on titan at high res 8 months ago. its STUPID as hell to release a fully enabled GK110 at this point with only 3gb of vram. again many people that get these cards will be wanting to run sli at really high resolutions.

planned obsolescence

So based on prelim. info, it appears that GTX 780 Ti will be up to ~20% faster than GTX Titan for gaming purposes, and will be nipping at the heels of GTX 690 too? I hate to say it, but it is actually a reasonably good value compared to these other two graphics cards (even if GTX 780 and GTX 780 SC are arguably a better value in comparison). And as for a 6GB variant, I don't think it is worth it unless it comes with more performance/features.

Depends on resolution and game but by and large no its not even a close competition. A single 690 (just a little under a pair of 680s) will beat a Titan handsomely, just go look at reviews with both in them, its kind of depressing how overpriced it was.

Another 20-30% on top of Titan however starts to get interesting. That starts to look like 2x a 680s performance.

12GB has to be a compute card. And I'm guessing it will be (like a Titan Ultra) and cost somewhere around $2500.

I definitely need 12gigs for 1080p gaming. I need to future proof myself!

I think I'd take the 6 over the 3 though, I'm figuring the next gen consoles will start driving the PC market to use more vram than we traditionally have.

6gb at 1080 would be silly. much wiser to get the 3gb model and put that other money towards Maxwell next year sometime.

lol 12 gigs, give me a break. No offence to anyone who goes for a 12gb 780ti if that is your thing, but that is completely pointless for running games unless you are planning to do surround with 3 4K monitors, in which case you'll be playing at 5fps even with three of these cards anyways. Unless your plan is to play everything on medium.

Unless your plan is to play everything on medium.

It would be a dream system though. 3x 4K monitors with Quad/Tri SLi'd GTX780 Ti 12GB. I wonder if 2KW PSUs would be able to feed them with enough power. :drool:

But from what the rumour mill is churning out..

The GTX780 Ti with 3GB is the base reference at $699. I think anything that's equipped with 6GB or 12GB will all be non-reference boards charged between $699~$999. Perhaps this sort of ties with that "black edition" card which has the power limit unlocked which could mean that the AIB's have more freedom. The thing that gets me amazed is that all will use a full-fledged GK110.. which would be a significant feat given the complexity and size of GK110. This would normally mean that yields are quite good. Their re-spin (B1 rev. or GK180) must be doing its magic.

3gb is bad. I've been using 2gb for years and that is too low at 1600p. I wouldn't mind paying $700 if it had 4gb but nvidia is price gouging. As a longtime nvidia user I hope the AIB 290x cards cool better.
