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

[Face2Face]

I love the fact the coolers are just like the Titan. Very sexy - Too bad about the GTX 780 price, I kinda wanted one too, just not at that price..

I was considering a GTX 780, but from $700-$750? Haha... maybe if it offers 40%+ more performance than my GTX 680! Although, at that price point... how much more performance would a SLI configuration offer? 2x 760 Ti for $600 or 2x 770 for $800.

Other sources have the 780 at $599, but all these prices are just rumours.

Thing is as parts as getting more and more complicated it is getting harder and harder to come up with the huge performance increases we have seen in the past.

Time between generations is increasing, so we are seeing both Nvidia and AMD releasing cards between generations.

The 770 would be a nice upgrade for those of us who doesn't have an 670/680. The 780 looks underwhelming...

True enough. The refresh never is all that impressive if you got in on the first set of cards. Same was true of 480 to 580 or 280 to 285, wasn't worth the hassle or the money to upgrade. The 770 will be a good card if you're not already on a 670/680/7950/7970 though.

As far as the 780, was anyone really expecting a card using GK110 to not come in at a ridiculous price ? :biggrin: Going on specs it won't be that much slower than a Titan and will cost $250 less. They'll probably disable the DP performance as well but who cares about that. I'm sure there will be interest from people who felt $1000 was outrageous for Titan but wanted one. $750 may now get them to bite to have a GK110 based card.

The days of the $500/$400 cards based on the big die are over. Lube is required going forward to have one :biggrin:

I could justify $599 - But I don't think it will happen

The Titan cooler is amazing too. One of the quietest blower coolers on the market. I wonder if the Geforce GTX logo will light up on the 770 and 780.


Since we have heard countless rumors that the Titan was $799 I can bet that the GTX 780 will be an $800 card once it releases.

I thought the badges looked photoshopped but it could just be funky looking because of the flash.

Looks like I'll continue to avoid Nvidia for another year.

780 should have been Titan without the DP, and the 770 should have been the cut Titan or what is being proposed as the current 780.

Even without voltage tweaking a 770 would have been a compelling choice at $400, but as it is Nvidia isn't getting a dime from me personally.

Should this post be a sticky somewhere? :biggrin:

In all serious, if this is the pricing then I am with you.

I could justify $450 then it'd be in line with what AMD is offering price/performance wise.
I'm not paying a cent extra because of the name on the card. AMD cards work great just as Nvidia's do. No reason to pay more for one than the other.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I hope everyone votes with their wallets and nvidia learns that the market will not tolerate these prices. Unfortunately people will still buy them and AMD will decide that they can sell their cards for those prices also.

Is it just me, or are these two sentences contradictory?

 

[Attic]

If pricing is correct then this will be very minor price/performance improvement. Not what I was hoping for.

AMD needs to move before nvidia feels any pressure.

Waiting for 20nm is best option. Games should improve graphically with the next consoles and 20nm should come near their release.

I'm most excited for UE4 and what $200-300 worth of GPU can do with it. I don't think il be impressed until 20nm for this outlook. I'd like AMD to offer 7970ghz performance at 200 bucks when they get to 20nm, similar to what we saw in terms of price/performance improvements during the 4850/4870 era.

 

[Erenhardt]

GTX700 will have only 1 "new" card which is cut down titan? I am not impressed. Maybe they will introduce GTX780SE, GTX770Ti Boost and GTX770Ti later. There is a lot to cut on GK110.
GTX760Ti -> GTX770 | +192CUDA = 1536 CUDA
GTX770 -> GTX770Ti | +192CUDA = 1728 CUDA
GTX770Ti -> GTX770Ti Boost | +192CUDA = 1920 CUDA
GTX770Ti Boost -> GTX780SE | +192CUDA = 2112 CUDA
GTX780SE -> GTX780SE boost | +192CUDA = 2304 CUDA
GTX780SE Boost -> GTX780 | +192CUDA = 2496 CUDA
GTX780 -> GTX Titan | +192CUDA = 2668 CUDA

I foresee the whole lineup filled with one GPU core with disabled more and more units. Not yet... but we are getting there.

Enjoy the premiums.

AMD fault!

The only reason why I say this is because another MSI TF3 7950 would cost me $319. I could sell mine for around $280-$300 and so I would pay about the same amount for the GTX 780 @ $599. It would be slower than a 7950 crossfire BUT no crossfire headaches and I won't have to upgrade my PSU.

Nothing new from me, I've been disappointed with this entire generation and these rumors are doing nothing to change that.

 

[Rvenger]

Yeah, Blame the underdogs!

Not getting enough bang for the buck with a sub $300 7950 w/ 3 free blockbuster release games? :headscratch:

 

[Cloudfire777]

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Getting closer, much better than the $450/$500 it started at.

Games are old and not worth much, not sure I even considered them a bonus at this point. If I grabbed a third 7950 I'd probably just toss the codes in the trash rather than deal with them, like the $10 rebates.

If you consider GK104 a $250 release product as I do though, and where the 7950 sits compared, it's still rather lackluster at $300.

 

[Xarick]

Dont toss codes in the trash. Go to hardforum and sell them for at least a few bucks.

 

[Cloudfire777]

Not a chance it will cost $450. GTX 580 cost $550 when it came out, $50 more than GTX 480. However it was with a traditional cooler and was made out of plastic.

Since Nvidia continue with aluminum and vapour chamber like Titan got, it will be more expensive than GTX 680 that have far less cores and plastic fantastic.

So I`m thinking $699 will be the most plausible price

 

[Aikouka]

Yeah. I don't mind the $599 price too much as I believe that's how much I paid for my 680, but $750 just seems like too much... especially since it would probably go into an entirely new Haswell-based build! $150 is about the price of a good Z-series motherboard.

Thing is as parts as getting more and more complicated it is getting harder and harder to come up with the huge performance increases we have seen in the past.

That's why I think nVidia's solution for the 700 series is probably the best way to go. Now that the yields are significantly better (i.e. the GPUs are cheaper), they'll be able to offer similar products as before at reduced prices. It would be nice if they could follow in Intel's footsteps and also try to push for a process reduction, but without such tight control over your fabrication, I doubt that's possible.

 

[Subyman]

The people that bought launch 7970 have been sitting pretty for well over a year. Hopefully Nvidia can do something to make me want one of their cards. I had a 680 and it was a solid, stable card, but not being able to mess with it finally got to me and I had to sell it for a 7970. I've always loved putting a card underwater and seeing what it will do. It was disappointing to have the 680 at 35C under load with nothing more to do with it.

Hopefully Nvidia brings back the enthusiast interest, not just cater to stock gamers.

 

[blackened23]

So does this mean that custom cards/PCBs are done?

 

[Cloudfire777]

I`m thinking they will still have the same strict policy against using custom pcb since it use the same layout as 690 and Titan. But its part of the x80 cards (480/580/680/780), so who knows

Maybe, thats my thoughts
