Nvidia should lower the GTX 780 price to $500 and sell the GTX 780ti at $600.
Yeah that will happen. Then I will buy a Unicorn to ride to work everyday. Lol....

No worries boys, scaling is fine.
Cue excuses, tangents, denials.. rabble rabble rabble.

But whatever, keep polluting the forum with fanboy drivel so it can lose whatever little credibility it has left.
This isn't a response to whoever you quoted but I feel the same way... this and the CPU subforum is full of fanboys and even worse, people that pretend they're not fanboys. You'd have to wade through their posts to read something worthwhile that isn't tinged red or green. I'll be sticking to Garage. :hmm:
It seems there is just no happy medium to be found, or is there ?
Doesn't seem like it? Just extremist fans gloating mostly. Or maybe they're the loudest ones. They're also the most annoying ones.. Fanboys with deep brand allegiances are annoying, yes they are, for both sides.
Derailing this thread won't make the 780ti go away....
Has it been confirmed the ti is anything more than a rebranded titan? If it's just a $650 titan it still gets smoked by aftermarket cooled 290x's.

That's the thing. They're either going to have to crank the clocks or get a full fledged GK110 going to compete. I'm guessing the former, and since 3DMark11 is usually nvidia's best benchmark, this means it's just going to fall further behind aftermarket/overclocked 290X's. Also, since it's using higher clocks, the efficiency of the Titan is going to be lost as well. I'm hoping this means nvidia is going to compete on price, although that will throw all the previous Titan/780 owners under the bus (no big surprise from nvidia though).Has it been confirmed the ti is anything more than a rebranded titan?

Glad someone besides me has noticed this odd phenomenon.The best part of these threads is that some of the most heard voices are the ones that wouldn't ever buy these cards.
They both do it to the degree that they can get away with it. The 7970, Titan, and GTX 280 were the most blatant examples that stand out in my mind. The only real way to fix it would be for us consumers to simply not buy the product en masse until they get the picture...This will in all likelihood not happen, I know this and am as guilty as anyone.Venomous said:What kills me is people still play nvidias game on pricing... They have been gouging you for how long and you still don't respect the 290x forcing prices down? Time for you guys to move out of mommy and daddy's house and live in reality...

If you have 7970 there, add gtx580 aswell:
Day1 7970 review:
http://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7970/images/perfdollar.gif
Brand new, power efficient 28nm gpu that have the same perf/$ as old power hungry 40nm card, I can see how one is a ripoff and the other is not. But it seems you got it backwards...
-----Take the red glasses off.
If nvidia makes the new 780ti about $600 to compete with the coming crop of aftermarket cooled 290x's I'm there
Probably a separate subject, but I wonder how many performance increases each vendor will be able to offer via driver updates in the future... I'm assuming AMD maybe has a better chance to optimize as the nvidia drivers are probably already fairly mature?
