I am hoping for $600 or for the GTX 780 driving used GTX 780 prices to the $500 mark 🙂

But I may for the first time buy a new vid card to get the discount on the Nvidia shield.

used 780's are at the $500 price point. People aren't really advertising $500 but do as I did and put up a WTB for a 780 at $500. I bought one in a couple hours. Still hasn't arrived yet but I will be gaming on 780 sli in a few days.

Well this is a joke. Now there will be three cards you need to actually benchmark to see any of the minute differences between.

Taking bets on the premium for the additional SMX.
 
I'm more interested in knowing what will happen with the aftermarket 780ti, if these specs were real then we can easily expect a faster than Titan superclocked card from the 780ti without the compute power that is the real draw of a Titan in the first place. Right now the EVGA superclocked reaches nearly 970hz core so a decently clocked card could easily top the 1ghz mark and really be worth the $650 price tag.

I was getting ready to buy two 780s for my build here so between this announcement and the holiday bundle (which includes two upcoming games I was interested in) there is no negative here. Either the 780 goes down in price significantly and saves me money, or the TI blows it away for the same price I was already looking to spend... Win/Win.

I also don't see how AMD responds without putting a really low price on their cards, I'm pretty sure the 290x was probably going to be $600 and trying to offer a performance gain for a little less than the 780, but if that flips into a performance loss for $50 less it's a lot harder decision for most people.
 
I'm with Balla. This is either fake or Nvidia is going full retard (in a bad way).

EDIT: Only way this is real is if Titan Ultra is in fact coming. Which, in that case, I hope the R290x beats up on the 780 at traditional resolutions (1080p and 1440p).

Grats lava, enjoy 🙂

AMD is reportedly tapping out 20nm in the first half of 2014 so I'm waiting it out!

thanks. I've been itching to try modern Sli out. Haven't since GTX 480's were considered a hot cards.... and I mean that in a performance way.


I don't like playing the waiting game. Buy, sell, buy, sell.... that's the way to do it.

I'm glad I did. Only problem is the top card collects heat from the bottom card. If you find one card clocks better and runs better/cooler than the other, put that one on top.

Micro-stutter and all the other stuff that used to be a draw back is gone. At least I have noticed any anyway. SLI runs just as smooth as a single gpu...just faster.
 
I'm willing to bet that we will see both the 780 and Titan eol soon, being replaced with 780 Ti and some new iteration of the Titan sporting the full chip. Nvidia's got a super lucrative method of releasing chips down to a science.

How close are your cards? Got a pic? If you are using reference cards with a space between them you shouldn't really be having a problem.

I wouldn't go that far. There is still a measurable variance far in excess of a single card in a lot of cases. Sometimes its out done by the increase in frame rate and sometimes it isn't. But its not universally true that microstutter is just gone, because it isn't. Its mostly down at a level where its unnoticeable on the latest nvidia cards and games.

It's a non issue now from what i've seen. PCper benchmarked a TON of frametimes for the 770 and 280X and the 280X was on par or better in every frametime and FCAT benchmark, every single one. 280X was better in many benchmarks as of the latest driver, 13.11. Same for toms, guru3d, hardwarecanucks, etc etc and every other website that does FCAT testing now. AMD is on par or better in everything except surround - Practically every website does FCAT or some variant now and without exception the 280X is on par or better with the competing NV product. So what you're saying is not true, unless you're expecting the same to not be true of the 290X. I expect the smoothness from the 280X drivers to carry over to the 290X, no reason not to. They do share the same drivers I think, although I could be wrong.

Single card, crossfire, single screen res, non issue. Eyefinity CF remains. It is rather stupid that eyefinity is still an outstanding issue, AMD does need to get their software on par with NV and is isn't yet. The main point here is your suggestion in your post is pretty much incorrect, though, except for eyefinity CF.

I think he was saying in general SLI/CF isn't as smooth (at times), I have no idea why you kept going on about AMD but BC was specifically addressing SLI as not being perfect while leaving no mention of AMD.

If this is true it's a stupid card.

Titan performance advantage OC vs OC against the 780 was already a trivial joke, now this will occupy the insanely small gray matter between the two.

Pointless card is pointless.

Disappointed in this news TBH, NV could of used the 770 memory...They need to get rid of Titan....
 
When I swapped to the 780 Classifieds I went about 2 weeks waiting for one to be replaced on just a single.

Once I put the second in I was trying to see if I could feel any sort of difference in games and the only game that appears a little different is World of Warcraft. No idea why, but I notice it sort of stutters with two cards. I just disabled SLI for that game and it's gone.

Other than that everything feels the same as the single did.

It's not news, it's a rumor based on an easily faked gpuz screen.

I don't think it's true personally, but like Carmack, I could be wrong :awe:

I'm with you, but then again I wouldn't put it past nvidia at this point to bring a 780ti to market with 13 SMX's, and then a Titan Ultra with 15 SMX's. JHH said it's "the best GPU ever built", so I hope he was referring to the performance of this particular card, which means it needs to probably outperform Titan to have any sort of lead over the R290X.

well 2496 sp at those boost speeds would be a wee bit faster than Titan.

It would be indiscernable, which based on the leaks of the R290x, would mean it would be a little bit slower \ no faster \ than the R290x and slower than custom AIB 780's. I doubt Nvidia would wait until after the R290x to release another high end card that can't outright beat their competitor's best when they are fully capable of doing so with the same chip.
 
this is why I bitched so much about the $1000 Titan. so many people could not get through their heads that a card priced like has an impact that trickles down. I would like to kick everyone that bought a Titan square in the nuts. lol

Whats funny is that I took a poll and an 7/8 of all Titan buyers complained about it's priced as they willingly handed over their money. Ah well, 320 mm^2 GM104 Maxwell 15% faster than GK110's best for $600 next fall HERE WE COME.

lol yeah but I see their side of it too. they have the money and want the performance so it is what it is. I just hate to encourage nvidia like that.

As long as they're putting it into the next node and projects like G-Sync to improve the gaming experience I couldn't care less.

Bend over and take Maxwell's midrange high priced die right in yer keister!!!! I know I probably will.... 🙁
