I will buy a 780 for 550$

I think alot of people would :D

Heck, even $600 a piece would draw alot of attention....assuming it kicks arse and isn't nerfed to Oblivion. But rumor has it that its much higher than $600....and people are speculating in the $800 range :(
 
Mostly mobile GPU's have been a re-branding/badging of prior GPU, wouldn't be surprised if that just ends up being a slightly higher clocked 680M.
 
I expect the GTX 780 to have 3GB which is probably the most optimal size of memory for the most of us.

Well I think you're completely off. I don't think you understand that the 680MX was not an actual produced part for anyone except Apple - the 680MX was exclusive to the iMac. The 680MX does not exist ANYWHERE else and was custom designed for Apple and _only_ apple. You will not find the 680MX anywhere else, apple requested it specifically for their high resolution display on the high end iMac. (2560x1440)

The 680M, the actual chip used by everyone else, was 2GB. Every mobile GTX 600 part was 2GB or less. Every single one. You can't count a custom APPLE ONLY chip in this. Like I said. It was designed specifically for their high resolution display. Nothing more, nothing less, and that's why it doesn't exist for anyone else. Nvidia doesn't sell it to anyone else.
 
Wow that is dodgy as. But a good thing if the 770 is actually less expensive than the 680. This reminds me of the 9800GTX +, GTS250 disguise nvidia did back 5 years ago.

I Got a feeling it will still be around $449 for a 770 gtx. And around $699-$749 for a 780 gtx.

When you go Nvidia, you don't do it for price/performance.

$449 for a 770 that is 5-7% faster than a stock 680 which by neweggs current price range is $460-550 is pretty good. :)

True.

Not whem compared to a 7970GE. Basically the 770gtx clocks will finally match the 7970ge in performance.

I would rather get a 780 GTX (which I do plan to step-up too).
 
If the GTX 770 is 2gb and just a slightly higher clocked GTX 680.....for $450....then nvidia fail for sure

Now if 770 came with 4gb and $400....much better....but we just gonna have to wait....only 2 more weeks!!!

they are not going to fool with 4gb for the 770. that costs too much for that level of card and is basically useless for single card gaming. there will be card makers making 4gb models for the people that need them for sli or use crazy mods. 4gb on the 770 would mean the 780 would have to have 5 or 6gb which again is costly.

We just gonna have to wait....we can sit here and guess all we want, but nothing is true until they officially release it....nice try though Trek554 :D

even the leaked info and flashed bios is showing 2gb of vram so again I dont see it happening. and what does that last part mean or have to do with anything? :confused:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 with only 256-bit Interface? :confused:
Click to expand...

Which means....what exactly?

Remember the HD 2900 XT with it's 512-bit interface..oh boy that did so well...not. Does it really matter what the interface is as long as it is faster?
 
The memory speed of the gtx 680 is 1500 and even when overclocked, some only reach 1600 mhz. 1750mhz is a particularly good memory overclock, especially if it is on a cooler that resembles something stock.

Also according to some websites, the price of the gtx 770 is 360 euros which include VAT. This typically translate into a similar price in USD which would be $360 USD - $399.

Not ideals, but hardly the rip off some one like semiaccurate is making it out to be. 10% percent higher performance while being a hundred dollars cheaper than the gtx 680 is better than what the gtx 570 offered(compared to the gtx 480) and no one complained about that card
 
Good times to be had in Galleria area of DFW next week on Thursday, lunch time and evening. That is about all I can tell you, but if you were in for buying next-gen hardware you would want to bring your wallet.

you need to look at the specific situation here instead of bringing up something that's irrelevant. if the gtx780 is gk110 cut down to 256 bit bus it would have the same memory bandwidth and even much slower rop performance than the current 680 and upcoming 770. it would be laughably starved and could end up no better than the 680 or 770 in some situations. I have no doubts that gk110 for the 780 will be at least 320 bit.

Well said.
 
I would like them to release the cards already. I just bought a 680 GTX last month and I want to use the step up program (EVGA).

I don't need the extra performance, just feels wrong paying so much money for something that is going to get replaced the next month.

Then again, buying a second 680 used is still not off the table. Or just staying put with the 680.

Bah
 
So do you think any of these cards will beat out a 7970 when gaming at 4k? Based on these tests unless these new cards are faster than a 680gtx 4gb it looks like I am still better off getting a 7970 for 400 bucks. The card will be going in my 4k htpc so will either be gaming at 2560x1440 80hz or 3840x2160@ 31hz. Right now my card is limiting my display to a max of 2560x1600 so would like to upgrade sooner rather than later to finally watch the 4k and 2.7k gopro stuff I have at native resolutions.
 
IMO, a standard 7970 may be a bit noisy for an HTPC.
What you need is a Titan. ;)

We could all use a Titan. For the price NVidia is asking for, wish it came with a chain to walk around with it on my neck when I'm not using it...
 
Yeah, I don't game enough to spend 1k on a graphics card, I don't think the noise on the 7970 would bother me that much as most of the time when being used as an htpc it would probably be idle and not that loud.
 
Slightly off topic, but what's with users talking about putting some of these older but high end cards in HTPCs? I don't know much about the practice, so I'd appreciate someone telling me, but it just seems like they'd never use the performance, and be better off selling them...

Did you actually look at that review?

No single card is close to powerful enough to run a 4k rig on a consistent basis, even titan struggles. Where both cards have playable fps in older games like skyrim and dirt 3, both cards are good enough. New games all cards struggle and what that review shows is that you need two cards to run that resolution for the most part and this is where 7970 Crossfire falls. 7970 has issues in every single game they test. I repeat every single game they tested, the observed FPS wasn't what it should have been and wasn't much better than a single card.

If you use a single 7970 or gtx 680, prepared to knock down the settings or get ready for a slide show.

Really though, if your going to run a 4k monitor, why cheapen out on simply 400 dollars in graphics cards?

Some people use their HTPCs for gaming. I think that was his case as well if I read it right.
 
The usual suspects are saying that GTX770=GTX680 and you can BIOS flash a 680 into a 770.

Release on the 23rd apparently.

Click to expand...

And specs:

Starting with the specifications. On the contrary to common believe the GTX 780 will not have 2496 CUDA cores, in fact there is a whole Graphics Processor Cluster disabled (according to the diagram from PCONLINE). What is means is that GTX 780 would have 2304 processors. The full GK110 GPU has 15 Streaming Multiprocessors, while the GK110-400 on the TITAN has 14, thus the GTX 780 will have 12. According to PHK from Expreview, the card will still have 48 ROPs, even though there would be a whole cluster disabled (this has to be verified). The number of texture units however, will now drop to 192.

As you can see, the card will feature 3GB GDDR5 memory. The card is supposedly equipped with 384-bit interface. What PHK also says that the reference card will be clocked at 863 MHz (I suppose this is a base clock), while the memory would run at 6008 MHz.

This looks a lot more realistic than the initial one's that tried to make people believe the 770&780 was going to be 20-25% faster than the 680. I expect the 770 to be 5-15% faster than the 680 and 780 15-20%.

As I always said, the 700 is merely a refresh of the 600 series, with the 770 just being a slightly modified 680. And the 780 being a gimped Titan. Expect the 770 to be a little more expensive than the 680 and the 780 to be closer in price to the Titan, after all it costs more to make GK110 cards, so even a gimped one has a premium. I expect Titan prices not to change at all.
