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

[jackstar7]

BF4 release date is December 31st

What?

That simply cannot be correct as there's no way a franchise would just skip the holiday window while EA is behind them.

It's better to let the competition run over you and put your fastest card at the #4 spot. :awe:

Look at my avatar. I owned a Titan. I honestly don't care about having the fastest like you do. I value my wallet. I am done talking to you. You are just here to cause trouble.

Amd wont produce a huge chip. It costs to much R&D and they dont have the customer base for Tesla size GPU's.

AMD would be better off making a 300mm2 chip that was focused on gamers. Strip it back and get rid of the compute side. Focus on making the drivers the best they can be and fix CF once and for all.

Dont go into growing markets. Try to compete in a shrinking market. Knowing AMD this will be their strategy.

 

[Genx87]

THey've said they will return to profit at the end of this year.

I don't doubt they are low on resources but if they get profitable this year it defeats your little not competing for much longer spiel.

Im trying to figure out how. Unless they keep slashing their workforce or sell off more things only to rent them back. Intels next chip is coming out in a couple of weeks. That will put more downward proessure on their pricing. Nvidias new chip is coming out in 2 days. That will put more downward pressure on their pricing.

And with their planned move to bring GPUs to glofo. They will be in the same position as they are in CPUs. 1-2 nodes behind the competition. That wont help their case at all.

The last time I saw the release date, it was Dec 31... I thought it was weird too. It may be October now that I did a search.

It is October, the third week I believe.

You are absoluty right: Offering competition is a real waste of effort and money.

Just in case you are living under a rock the 7990 is currently the fastest card in the world.

Probably slated for "this year", which is usually labeled as December 31st.

Okay, just caught me off guard with that.

Back to the show!

Its funny how a lot of people here think amd is behind nvidia in r&d, and thats why they dont go for big dies. They just are playing the process pioneer game, working with very immature process, it just dont make sense to go for big dies, as theres a higher probability of getting defective ones out of fab.
They strategy was always to make their high end core with a performance in between nvidia high and mid ones. This allows them to have a flagship GPU for months until process matures enough for nvidia big die.
The best example of this was HD5870. Unfortunately for them the added transistors for compute in HD7900 series didnt allow them to have a consistent advantage over gk104. Thats why I say they have to aim at little bigger dies next time.

Of course until this day you keep denying this despite reviews showing this to be the case.

Because sontin can never let go of his NV coolaid bottle to see it any other way.

On 28nm, AMD has offered amazing value from the start, its called the 7950 with its 40% OC headroom. Got it for $330. Its actually FREE now since I got my bitcoins from it when im sleeping.

The 7970 was overpriced for a few months, until the Ghz beat the 680 for less $, and if one were to mine with it whilst not gaming, it would be positive $$ by now.

Hows that for value?

Again, only the most loyal NV (or paid shrills) can even think of blaming AMD for the ridiculous prices NV is charging for their stack.

7950 came down to $330 way later.I bought 7950 asus dc ii top for my brother for around $469.

 

[RussianSensation]

I'm still waiting for something from AMD which comes even close to my Titan.

HD7970OC outperformed GTX680OC from January 2012 until the Titan released, cleaning up a max overclocked GTX580 by 40-60%. Yet you waited more than a year to give NV $1K. It took NV more than a year to beat HD7970 OC. :hmm:

7950 was $449 at launch. :|

At least they don't need to stretch the history like other people here...

Lol, you really run out of arguments when "OC" is the only thing left. BTW: 2 1/2 months later i got a card which was faster, cheaper, needed less power and has a much better cooler than the 7970.

RS if I'm not mistaken 680 lightning with volt mod was the fastest card until amd released never settle drivers.

Got it for $330 2 months after launch, cos I had jumped on a 7850 prior and wasn't satisified with the perf leap.

Point is, for the majority of this generation on 28nm, AMD have delivered better value, without considering bitcoins.

With bitcoins, its no contest. A 7970 would have earned you several thousand $$ by now.

Neither me nor my brother has any interest in bitcoins.But it has been a solid card and still going strong.I love the dc ii cooler.

OC is always a factor (unless its an AMD gpu..). Recall gtx460, 560 etc.

BTW, a custom cooled 7970 obtained since launch, would be now faster, cooler and made you heaps of $$ even if you only mine part-time when not gaming. In fact, it would have made you enough $$ to buy the overpriced Titan when it launched.

 

[Rvenger]

I am sorry but if I bought a launch AMD 7970 (or 7950) I would not feel ripped off since I would have owned it for 1.5 years! Not to mention they are only 25% slower if you overclock it to 1100mhz (little more for 7950) If you bitcoined during that time you can use your AMD card to get a free Titan.

 

[96Firebird]

Woohoo, another thread derailed with people touting about how their video card is the best and how it has paid thousands of dollars to charity and everyone else is getting ripped off and whatever they own is the best.

If you need to endlessly tell others how awesome your card is in a rumor thread about unreleased video cards, perhaps you're trying too hard.

 

[wand3r3r]

Good thing your in here adding to the original topic? Oh I guess not.

 

[96Firebird]

Nope, I came in here to see if there was any new info. Alas, there was not, but I did find a bunch of useless posts. Might as well add to them, right? :awe:

I can think of a number of posts where you just come in and insult people and add nothing to the thread. When you get proved wrong you vanish.

So maybe you should just keep out.

Usually when the last day of the year is listed, it's typically a placeholder.

RS if I'm not mistaken 680 lightning with volt mod was the fastest card until amd released never settle drivers.

I had a GTX680 lightning volt mod and was getting ~1380-1400 core clock with it in benchmarks. I also had a 7970 Matrix and at ~1300 it would be joint fastest card IMHO.

Both cards were very expensive for what they delivered. Ironically the GTX780 is going to fall in to the same boat.
