The GTX 780, 770, 760 ti Thread *First review leaked $700+?*

[wand3r3r]

Until we see strong competition from AMD NV will continue this trend.I remember 570 dropping six months later for cheap compared to 480.Also 580 was ~15% faster than 480 but cost same.

Yes, it looks like the only hope is the end of the year for price drops (20nm). My only fear is with the NV execs jumping ship to AMD (and AMDs supposed aggressive stance), they will bring premiums with them to ensure the duopoly continues. AMD tried to take advantage of their first to market in 2012 and seeing the absurd prices on the latest NV cards I only wonder if they will get on the same agenda. The 9970 might drop at just more/less than these cards and of course be faster but considerably more expensive than historical cards.

AMD got nothing to respond to the GTX 780. Or Titan.

The only thing they can counter with is 20nm or a new architecture. Which won`t be here at until very late this year.

So AMDs sale statistics will be even worse while Nvidia cash in big money. They have since Kepler was launched. First GTX 690. Then GTX 680. Then GTX Titan. And now GTX 780. While AMD screw up with only 7970 which was great. And that have been their only top end GPU for freaking 2 years. LOL. 7990 was a epic failure since they was 1 year late to the party (690 have been here since forever).

I mean, who ever is in charge with the GPU department back at AMD need to be fired. They can`t do anything right

GTX 780 consume the same power as 7970GHz while beating it by over 20% is nothing more than TKO

AMD is probably going to announce they're dropping out of high end discrete/HPC in favor of pursuing consoles and APU's.

Not unlike x86, when you can't compete you can't compete.

 

[wand3r3r]

Agreed (with cloudfire). And in the meantime NV is just fleecing their loyal customers.

Yeah I fear the same.Won't be surprised if 9970 debuts @ $749.

Agreed 100%. AMD's failure to have anything remotely close to being able to compete with Nvidia's big die has allowed Nvidia to run rampant with sky high prices. My time as a enthusiast-type PC gamer may be coming to an end rather quickly. 28nm started off with such a disappointing card from AMD, priced high and only beating the 13 month old gtx580 by 20%, and now it ends with a true gtx580 replacement coming in at an outrageous $150-200 more than what the gtx580 started at.

Worst bit is, it's actually a 570 replacement, where as Titan is the 580 replacement.

AMD underestimated nVidia last year. They never expected that nVidia would release so earlier their first 28nm card. Unfortunately GK104 was such a monster that it changed the landscape of the market...

In the next round i expect AMD to be much more agressive with their pricing.

 

[Jaydip]

I have to give kudos to NV for one thing though, their mastery over the 28nm process.Previously it was AMD who was process champ.

GTX 780 have been reviewed.
Beats 7970GHz by over 20%. RIP AMD. RIP Titan owners.
This badboy will sell like hotcakes.

GTX 780 is 22% faster than 7970GHz

And it consumes the same power as 7970GHz. LOL

Using only the game benchmarks (and breaking the results into separate resolutions we get the following.

17% faster than HD 7970GE at 1920x1080
19% faster than HD 7970GE at 2560x1600

17% faster than GTX680 at 1920x1080
23% faster than GTX680 at 2560x1600

The review also stated that in more recent games the lead was nowhere near as high and in fact it loses in Crysis 3 against HD 7970. I will wait for more reviews before proclaiming a $650-$700 card an HD7970GE or GTX680 killer.

HD 7970GE and GTX680 cost ~$420-$450 and GTX780 will cost $650-$700. ~20% faster for ~65%-70% more cost. A true gem of a card but at a horrible price.

Does not compute.

maybe this

some reputable news.

$650 is wholesale. looks like $699 or $749 will be retail.
so much for $550.
a few more hours and it will be verified.

Where are AMD not competing? They have the pest price/performance across the GPU range and until Titan was released they had the fastest single GPU available. Using your logic Nvidia and AMD should have pulled out of computing years ago because they simply can't compete against Intel.

Way too much hyperbole even for you

Hell, a HD 7970 (non GE) that does 1200/1700 overclock would put it around GTX780 speed and 7970s have been $360 since well before the end of last year. Yeah, AMD can't compete.

 

[Fx1]

$700 HAHA.

Well NV Fan Club. YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT.

MORE PROFITS!

I think ill go buy another 7970 for £262 and run CF.

Worst bit is, it's actually a 570 replacement, where as Titan is the 580 replacement.

and even Titan is not a fully functional chip. lol who knew a gimped chip could be a halo card and a severely gimped chip could be the series flagship all while charging even more money than before.

 

[Face2Face]

- Keep in mind Newegg and other huge resellers pay less than this.

I figured there would be much more mark up room. I'd sell it for $750 if I was newegg. Selling for $700 would only be $56 in profit.

How much profit do you think Resellers make?? Single digits for the most part for day to day sales on items like this.

until the prototype2 driver comes out. make sure you adjust for ~20% less performance for piss poor crossfire with frame capping vsync bandage.

if you are running eyefinity resolution. you are SOL until prototype3.

-----

1080p - single 7970 - best value
1440p - dual 7970 - neuter it 20%
surround/eyefinity - go the green team. :biggrin:

Cool story bro.

I think its disabled for redundancy during manufacturing on the K20x and Titan. That is to say, it was never meant to function with the full shader cluster amount to begin with.

Here is what I am seeing on my end. This is my cost. Synnex and Ingram Micro - Keep in mind Newegg and other huge resellers pay less than this.

Still a bit expensive but at $642 I'll bite. Sell my 680's and grab a pair.

You will pay more than this. This is reseller cost, not consumer.

No ill just use Vsync and get all my frames perfectly at 16ms each without stutter or issue. Max out every game i own including 8xAA.

$642? You have no access to wholesale pricing. You'll pay the $750 just like the next guy.

I thought$699 initially. I'm thinking$720 to $750 now.

 

[omeds]

Fair enough. Thanks AMD.
