[Guru3D] Galaxytech GeForce GTX 780 Ti Spec Sheet Leaks

[ICDP]

It's good because it's a new stepping silicon (probably clocks higher) and it has faster memory modules (clocks higher). And it has the extra cuda cores to give the full boost GK110 was intended for. Price is high for those advancements, only drawback will be the 3GB instead of 6GB. 6GB & higher boost clocks are likely being held back for the higher binned ASICs to go into a 'Titan Ultra'. Looks like a sweet card to give 290X a run for top Hwbot scores.

You are kind of agreeing with me here. 780Ti will most likely trade blows with R9 290X for a much higher price premium. R9 290X at ~1230/1625 OC is already getting ~6000-6200 on Firestrike Extreme.

So why should Nvidia 780Ti be $150 (27%), more expensive just because it has extra Cuda cores enabled and faster VRAM? Yes it has a much better cooler, but it has a narrower memory bus and 1GB less VRAM. Of course it's early days yet and it could end up costing exactly the same as R9 290X, we'll soon find out.

AA at 4k. lol

AA is necessary or at least beneficial at high resolutions, maybe at 20K it won't be but at 4K in some games it's still needed.

You need extreme cooling and a cherry-picked chip to get the 290X to those clocks.

C'mon Nvidia, have some balls to shake up the market. Price this at $500.

haven't read the other 3 pages yet but at 3gb I'm wondering if 3 gb with basic 780 sli [$550 CND x2 vs $700.00 x2]will be neffed in the new gen.games in 2014 @1440.

These are reference R9 290X cards on air using the current crap reference cooler, this is clarified in the posts I linked to. So no extreme cooling required to reach ~1200 core on an R9 290X.

I have read multiple posts from multiple people where Stock volts is giving 1100-1150 core clock and voltage tweaks is giving 1200-1250 on a R9 290X with reference cooler. I have also seen some getting 1250 core on stock volts with water. Of course the silicone lottery applies to all GPUs and we need to wait to find out if 1246 core OC on 780Ti is indicative. Either way, my point still stands that R9 290X and 780Ti look like they will trade blows depending on resolution.

I wouldn't say they "skimped" on memory considering that they are using ultra high speed GDDR5 RAM! The actual amount of RAM should be sufficient for some time to come (ie. 6GB RAM would be overkill and would increase price much more than perf). Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised that mem. bandwidth got such a nice jump vs. GTX 780 and Titan.

say you - this is my 3rd sli up grade for lacking vram , my 580's even came to a stop years ago in bf3 release with msaa @1440
-looking at 780sli now but might go amd for the 4 gb

lots of I WGAS when benching old console ports ,but come shortly a new ball game is coming so what vram will be needed in @ 1440 in 2014 as I don't spend 1K -1.5K on vid. cards every 6 months.

they already priced the 780 @ $499, unlikely this is anything less than $549, that is unless the R9 290 does come with $449 pricing and can have performance to humble the 780 @ $499

lol fully unlocked gk110 for only 50 bucks more than 780? and its been known for a while now that its $699.

I have really grown to hate input lag. Though I have noticed when using RadeonPro's framecap I sometimes get visual artifacts or lines in the monitor.... Most noticeable on games like L4D2..

I gotta say the Black Edition is pure sex....

Has there been any mention of pricing on the black edition?

Calling out the fallacy of declaring a new piece of technology that will likely be replaced in a fairly short amount of time "king of kings" is akin to demonizing materialism. Yes, you caught me. Well played... :whiste:

Yeah, NV really, really likes making a profit on their cards - AMD is trying to win back hearts and minds right now so it's a lesser priority for them (given the price of the 290X!). If this rumor is true, maybe some kind AIB will offer a 6 GB version for $750 on Black Friday with the reference cooler. Maybe, but given recent pricing patterns with NV products, probably not.

Who buys these $700-1k video cards? And what madman would ever spend 2k plus tax on two of these?

I'm just getting back into building PCs after a 9 year hiatus, and last time I built a PC the Geforce 6800 Ultra was $399 and that was considered a pretty crazy price.


What is wrong with people that they are willing to spend 2k to get a few extra pixels when these game engines aren't even capable of doing anything with them. If people can have fun playing these games at 720p on a 360 or PS3 why can't you deal with 1080p?


I'm probably going to buy an R9 290x and I think that's a huge investment. It's actually pretty stupid of me considering I could have 70% of the performance for 50% the price.

6800 Ultra launched at over $500 which was a massive chunk of money back then.

Inflation, Times change, people who have money, plenty of answers other than calling them madmen. People buy 100k cars as well, does not make them crazy, just because they can. Some people are asking "what more can I spend my money on?" other than "I can't spend any more money!"

 

[imaheadcase]

AA is necessary or at least beneficial at high resolutions, maybe at 20K it won't be but at 4K in some games it's still needed.

Again, to some people.

 

[BrightCandle]

Inflation has been about 4% average over the period since that card was released (about 8 years ago) resulting in about a 37% change. So in todays prices the 6800 Ultra would be $684. That does put into perspective the pricing structures of cards today.

People who make good money.

So if you're single and work in financial services or engineering (and you are good at what you do) or Double Income No Kids or something like that, then there's plenty of money for your hobby of choice.

''...no kids..." being key point in that statement
