Erm, nope, you never said it was an educated guess. You said that it would be less than $599, in fact you said for definite that the highest price would be $599 and anyone claiming it was going to be $699 was only spreading Fud. People were guessing their prices just as much as you were guessing your price, your guess had no more evidence than theirs.
In fact, they were probably more right as there are 780's for sale at $800 but you won't get any for $599
That is a complete rewrite of the conversation on your part.... And people saying 800 were off by three times of my estimate of 600. 150 vs 50. They also continually insisted their numbers were hard fact when no one could know yet. Big difference there. I am surely wasting my time replying here but hell, I may as well try...
Speaks the truth.
a 770 GTX heavily overclocked MIGHT catch a stock 780 GTX.
But a 780 GTX overclock will easily go past a Titan in performance...and for $350 less ($300 in GoldenTigers case).
sure hope the rest of your system is not as old or older than the 5870...Just made a purchase on gtx780. Can't wait to OC. Upgrading from a HD 5870.
Nice score, GT. I wonder what the heavily OC'ed GTX 780s get when paired with 3930/60K/X CPUs? CPU speed definitely DOES make a difference in 3dmark, valley and heaven, so i'm very curious about this. While the Titan does hold a 2-3 fps advantage over the GTX 780 in that test, all of those submissions over at OCN were performed on SB-E CPUs. From what I can tell, the scores with similar CPUs are much closer. CPU type would make an appreciable difference when paired with a 780.
I get my cards today! Sadly, I don't have a SB-E to test with, just a mere 3770k (which is overclocked, of course)

Old news. It is preorder price gouging, and even then obviously placeholder prices as the versions are priced identically to the penny for superclock and reference. These vendors always have far higher than msrp pricing prelaunch. It will be 599 usd, or less, no questions asked.

Eh, most games aren't CPU limited anyway. I have an i920 at 3.5Ghz with my 5850, and I'm sure the 770 will be a huge improvement since I'm running 1440p.
you always do this crap. you were wrong just as much as they were wrong. And I didn't rewrite anything
Wrong. And nowhere did you say this was in your opinion or anything, you stated this as fact.
The people who said $800 were basing their prices off a placeholder that appeared in a shop for $712 or something like that, and that was early days. And even back then they were saying it would be $699 or $799, you were saying that it was going to be $499-$549. So at that stage you were just as far out as them.
There was only two people in the thread that insisted their prices were hard fact, you and ragecase. He said $699, and that quote above was your reply to it. You insisted your price was right because of placeholders you saw in china and europe he insisted his price was right because of the ones he saw. You were both wrong. Jason-42 and That's_Corporate were the only two to guess right.
I'm sure everyone is hoping for 499, but doesn't expect it. Personally my hunch is 499-549, but I wouldn't be shocked at 599.
By the way, NDA lift @ 9am Eastern, on May 23rd (date already well-known).
That was stated in response to people saying gems like "More huge gk110 rape is coming. who even believed there would be a card not much slower than titan for half the price." And yes, I was basing my guess off of the $712 (which I posted, by the way, on OCN long before it showed here) also which was indeed as I said a price-gouged preorder, not a "low preorder price" as some tried to run away with to up their guesses when that basically never is lower than it comes out at.
As I said, I was basing my "hunch" as I called it in one post off of european preorder prices of 599 (I said "it will probably be" here: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039895969&postcount=722) (I called it a hunch here: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039883613&postcount=445). It's not really even about who "called it" so much as how they arrived at their guess, and how they stated their guess as fact, consistently and rudely. Most were pulling it out of a hat to be polite, while I was basing it off of pricing history of the last several nVidia releases. Also, simply saying "it will be X" after saying "it's my hunch" pretty much directly implies it's my guess.
But hey, it's convenient to ignore the conversation when you want to snag one thing out of context . Speaking of "you always do this crap"... . Finally, being off by $50 is not "just as wrong as they were" for saying 800, that's 50 vs. 150 off-base.
Contrast statements like the bolded one above to mine:
Clear difference there.
Was just reading the specifications on the box of my GTX 780 and saw the memory bus written as 192-bit, hehe.
You were both wrong. Jason-42 and That's_Corporate were the only two to guess right.
Mind you I'm also on only a 4.4ghz 2600K and 1333mhz 16GB DDR3 .
I've ordered a reference gtx 780 today. How much performance penalty should I expect considering I am still on a PCI express 2.0 x58 platform (i7 920 @ 4.3ghz)?
I am gaming at 1920x1080 resolution.
I am asking this because the cpu upgrade is probably still 3-4 months away.
I won an auction yesterday, two Gigabyte GTX670 Super OC versions for $600 for both with 2 years warranty left, is this a good deal and will it fare decently against the upcoming 770?
all of those have been there since the 770 launched last weekLooks like the GTX 770 is in full swing on Newegg starting at $399, considering these are GTX 680 with higher clocks, not bad. EVGA Classified and ACX cooler style is starting at $419 and there is an cheaper ACX, but its out of stock.
EDIT: for the lazy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...269 600451260&IsNodeId=1&name=GeForce GTX 770
