Microstuttering problem on single-cards configurations is already fixed iirc, even AMD ppl said that. But CF still needs work.

So I guess now that the 770 is faster than a 680 and $400 everyone can stop complaining about nVidia's prices?

People will always come up with new reasons to justify their position when the old reason is no longer viable.

Yes, having the IMC and ROPs capable of error free operation at 7000+ is what will allow proper scaling before GDDR6 hits in force.

I think if Nvidia would do a 8+8 pin 300w TDP 7000 MT/s GDDR5 SKU of Titan, it will scale as well as the GTX 780 is able to.

Everyone thinking about AMD vs Nvidia, remember that one of these companies has this guy as the unquestioned leader of the company.

The other company is run by Mr. Six Sigma from IBM, one of the most risk-averse technology companies that is still around.

I'm not joking by the way, I MEAN Six Sigma when I say it.

People on here are still recommending the 7970 even though it costs $50 more.

MSRP maybe but there are plenty of $400 7970s that boost to 1000-1050Mhz out of the box. When the 770 and 7970 are the same price it isn't that far of a stretch to recommend the one with an extra 1GB of vram and four free games. I'm not saying the 770 doesn't have it's own positives (power efficiency, size, etc.) but it doesn't mean the 7970 is without merit at the same price point.

That make a lot of sense. Something that isn't a top priority here a lot of the time.

Newer card model versus 1.5 year old card models. Yes the 7970 is still slightly cheaper, but the 770 will hold more value going forward.

My issue with the 7970/7970GE is why they haven't come down in price given they've been out a while now. Maybe this 770 release will make that happen.

a concern regarding 700.

gpu boost 2.0 will throttle once the card reaches 80C.

will 700 suffer the same throtting achille heel as titan?

Actually, I would also like to know whether there are any throttling issues in the 700 series.
Click to expand...

according to the specs. yes - it will throttle once it reaches 80c. the counter is the heatsink fan keeping temperature in check and below 80C.

as for the 780 it comes with the highly praise titan reference cooler pushing heat outside the case. since it is a slower gpu - same gpu as the titan gpu. hopefully it can stays below that 80c threshold.

as for the 770 it will only come with axial coolers (at least for north america). axial cooler will be dumping heat right back into the case. since this is a faster gpu - same gpu as the same 680 gpu. throttling is a big concern. especially for folks running sli.

This is the main point, at $400 it has some good selling points, but so does the 7970. It's not like it's a clear case (with 4 free games, <5% performance difference) as there's not a major/noticeable performance difference.

I wouldn't buy a GHz edition at $450 (dunno before this anyway, maybe over a 780) but the only viable option imo is the $360-400 7970s either with higher clocks, or the cheapest and OC.

This is an ok card, the only thing is it's possibly 6 mos from 20nm, new console games, etc. etc. and in the end it's only 10% faster than a 670 which you could have had for a year (and oced for the same performance).

In the short term it looks better than the long term. (perhaps the same with many other cards ;))

with your self centered comments. you can find out sources explaining gpu boost 2.0 yourself. not gonna bother linking it for you.

if you too lazy to do that yourself. stick around and keep your comments to yourself. hopefully someone else will link it.

anyone up to date with nvidia knows that gpu boost 2.0 throttle at 80c.

What's the point of releasing a card that matches the performance of a year and half old card at the same price? NV must be kidding!
