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

[sontin]

Now that you mention it, +20% performance 780 (Titan light end), +20% price $600.

Win - win, hey wait a minute... Who won? (Hint, not the consumer)

It's the "go premium" strategy. Invented by your company AMD. :thumbsup:

Hahaha see....it's AMD's fault.

Charlie confirms earlier BSN/Fudzilla 760/770/780 leaks:

This comes at the end of May so the new parts go 780 in 3 or so weeks, 770 a week or two later, and then the 760Ti a week or two after that.


20-25% performance increase over predecessors.

 

[Grooveriding]

I think pricing is going to be a big surprise on these. See: 770 costing as much as a 680 does right now

Charlie went paywall because other sites like BSN were 'stealing' his news without attribution.

And now he steals BSN's news without attribution and puts part of it behind his paywall.

The irony. I can't.

I am seriously doubting new video cards coming out in the near term. The technology has outreached the software's capability at this point.

 

[f1sherman]

How the heck is NV going to make 20% faster GK-104.
GK-104 is not some GF100 with lots of room for refinement or unlocking.

The industry needs something new to excite the buying public.

While this wasn't predicted, it's not surprising. nVidia said at the start of this generation that creating new chips every year wasn't profitable. Some of their chips aren't even a year old yet. With the market shrinking, development costs rising, and fab costs rising they need to sell the chips longer and for more money to get an acceptable ROI.

I think he meant that each part will be 20% faster than it's 600 series predecessor, because you're right, there is definitely no room for a 20% performance improvement out of gk104.

 

[f1sherman]

Oh that's right. GK-110 goes into GTX 780.

I am seriously doubting new video cards coming out in the near term. The technology has outreached the software's capability at this point.

Intel has this problem all the time, but they still make a living.
It's not like i5-760 or i7-920 won't get you satisfactory through 95% of work.

What they do is offer a new product at price/perf/feature point that's compelling enough so that people make an upgrade.

 

[buklau]

I wonder how much performance increase I get going from 2gb 7850 o/c 1167mhz to a 760ti along with new i5 haswell...

who said they were? the 680 itself is almost tapped out but the 770 could be 15-20% faster than the 670 because it will simply be a slightly higher clocked 680. and the 760ti could easily be 15-20% faster than the 660ti because it will be a 670 with likely a little higher clocks. whats so confusing about that?

 

[poohbear]

With the exception of the Titan it's usually a better gain than linear price/performance increase. I agree it's been extremely poor lately though.

Hows it poor??? There is NO need or even DEMAND for new video cards given todays games. The cards we have are more than enough. If the cards they release are indeed 20% higher than the cards they replace, its definitly a success, regardless of the chip they're using!

Wouldn't that mean the 770 would have to boost to like 1400MHz on the core? I imagine they would need a new cooler for that...or simply accept a louder card.

lol that same nonsense is repeated every generation. just because YOU dont need a faster card does not mean there is not a demand for them.

Enough for who/what? Some of us are gaming at 1440p, or 1600p, or on multiple monitors, and/or at 120Hz, and we still want near-maximum settings while maintaining 120fps. Today's cards are NOT enough for this, I can assure you

well maybe they will put a better cooler on there but who knows. really a stock 680 is already about 10-12% faster than a stock 670. just another 5% more squeezed out of the card should not be that big of a deal.

 

[Crap Daddy]

If some had doubts, the GK104 (GTX660ti/670/680/760Ti/770 and others) is the new G92 (GT8800, GT9800, GTS250 and others). Good business.

And HD 8xxx are raw HD 7xxx.

Is that JHH? :sneaky:

So, do I buy another over-clocked 670 when prices drop or do I sell the one I have and buy two 770's? Thats the question.

Why would prices drop on the gtx 670? I dont recall prices dropping cause of a rebadge?

Huh? Ppl that wanna game @ 120hz @ 1600p are 0.1% of the gaming population, & even then u can still get 2 Titans, so ur "needs" are addressed.

Edit: actually there are no monitors that do 120hz @ 1600p, so can't imagine.demand for that either.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Let's start a petition to JHH to allow for unlocking of cores like the old Phenoms and 6950's. Now THAT would be how you out-do AMD's bundles. :sneaky:

Buy a used 670.
