[wccftech] Overclocked 780 Ti Benchmarks Leaked – Show Massive Overclocking Headroom

[Cloudfire777]

Firestrike Extreme is the benchmark.

GTX 780 Ti @ Stock clocks:

R9 290X in uber mode:

GTX 780 Ti @ 1233MHz. Note that the GPU score increased to 6118. That is 18% increase in performance over stock clocks. And it score 23% higher than R9 290X in uber mode.

GTX 780 @ 1300MHz with a nice GPU score of 6193.

780 Ti is beast!

780 Ti Vs. 290x =
GTX580 Vs. 6970
GTX480 Vs. 5870
GTX280 Vs. 4870

 

[DigDog]

any heat / noise benchmarks yet?

 

[hyrule4927]

Not much. From the charts amenx posted, looks like power consumption is about the same or greater than a 290X.

i wonder why they chose to alter their usage of the Ti suffix; previously, it indicated a step up in midrange cards - 560 -> 560Ti (when the 570 and 580 were out), 660 -> 660Ti (with 670 and 680), now it's attached to the top of the line.
Unless you count Titan as a "range" card, but it looks more like an experiment to me... with that price tag ..

What other option was left? The x90 pretty much has been a dual gpu card the last couple of generations.

I seriously hope there are 6GB versions at launch or else I'll be waiting.

i sure am glad AMD went all out on and brought us Hawaii. Its really a pleasure to see all this action in the high end.

These are exciting times. The 780ti and the 290 non x are both very important GPUs in their own right. Finally a full fledged gk110 gaming GPU..........took forever but i am so glad to see it coming.

The Ti letters go back a bit further than that with nvidia.

GeForce2 Ti
GeForce3 Ti 500
GeForce4 Ti 4800

If it is the top performer in extreme resolutions, does it matter how much it has?

For $700 yes it does. When have you ever launched a new game and said, "Man I wish I had less Vram."

As newer games come out I'm sure 3gb is going to start choking too.

 

[Aeiou]

With this sort of high end hitting us in 2013 i'm really curious to see what the next jump brings us.

As will 4GB cards and Titans, and not just because of a lack of buffer but because of a lack of processing power.

Unless you're going multicard it probably won't matter and even then nobody knows when 20nm will show up.

The life expectancy of a current top end card is until the next node.

Firestrike Extreme is the benchmark.

GTX 780 Ti @ Stock clocks:

R9 290X in uber mode:

Those R9 290X scores are very slow. In fact according to the Firestrike Extreme scores on Legitreviews R9 290X review, the 780Ti has a similar overall performance as R9 290X in quiet mode. It's not like you to post without doing some research 1st Cloudfire, oh wait, it's just like you.

There is not a single bench out there that shows 3gb to perform less than 6gb in any game at any res. There may be in the future, 3 or 4 years, who knows. But by that time, I doubt people will still have their cards. Those who buy expensive cards and know any better, do not do so as an investment, but rather as a hobby with an instatiable drive to get the latest, best there is. 3 or 4 years from now, a mid-range card will eat todays best cards for breakfast. And very few with todays best cards will put up with that.

What he's saying is that $700 for a 3gig card is a ripoff price. Nothing you've said addresses that.

A "rip off price" for someone who's bought several Titans at a $1000 a pop? If the 3gb card out-performs the 6gb one, $700 doesnt sound like much of a "rip-off" (your term, not his) to me.

 

[BrightCandle]

VRAM amount doesn't matter unless games start to utlise it all. Currently they rarely utilise 2GB let alone 3GB. The other way to look at it is that 4GB and up is just making cards unnecessarily more expensive. The 780 ti might be overpriced but it wont be because of its 3GB VRAM, it will be because its performance level isn't sufficient to justify its enormous premium price level. VRAM is about sufficient amounts and so far everytime a card has become obsolete due to its VRAM amount its also been down on compute power as well such that the VRAM doesn't change anything, no reason to think that will really change in the future just yet.

He said, "For $700 yes it does." You interpret it any way you want to then.

 

[wand3r3r]

What do you think eyefinity and high resolution users will buy?

Why skimp on anything at $700 (that goes for coolers - 290x, minimal RAM 2 GB mid range -3 GB high end, Dx11 support only not even Dx11.2 supported). At least accept the fact NV is basically making a bare minimal product that will likely be obsolete soon (probably intentionally to keep you upgrading).

Anyways, the ocuk thread shows the 290 getting more performance than the 290x at release with the new drivers. The performance of the 780 ti will be interesting since they already said the $700 price.

290 will with 2 or 3 good to go, when you can buy 2 cards at the same of one and have more ram its the cards to buy.
Nvidia has no answer there is no value there.

Again, those are your words not his:

Only thing he said in the whole thread is:

I can only surmise that he would prefer new 6gb cards, even at a much higher price than the $700 3gb ones. At this point in time, 3gb cards at $700 that outperform 6gb ones at $1000 would not be rip-offs by any stretch of the imagination. If you prefer to think otherwise, be my guest.

Benches don't measure it well so even when the VRAM pool is too small they won't show much. I ran out of VRAM a lot in Skyrim at 1920x1200 on a GTX 780 and had to remove some texture mods to get back to good performance. In terms of average FPS it made hardly any difference, but when I ran out of VRAM I got frequent "stutters," i.e. isolated frame times that were 10x my average frame times.

Compared to R9 290X, the GTX 780 Ti reportedly has higher peak memory bandwidth, higher peak texel fillrate, higher peak pixel fillrate, higher peak geometry throughput, higher peak GFLOPS throughput, higher tesselation performance, and higher OC headroom (in addition to much less noise and much less heat on reference models). This is a beast of a card, and is just about the last thing that would become obsolete compared to any other GPU out there.
