Nvidia 780Ti to come in 12GB version

While I definitely think it would be overkill, if I were Nvidia I would do it. In fact, I would release a 32gb VRAM edition and charge $5,000 for it. You just know that someone out there would buy it. I would probably put racing stripes on it too. It would need a good name though. Without a manly kickass name it wouldn't sell as well.

12GB is goofy. The only card I could imagine with 12GB would be a GTX 790, with dual Titan chips @ 6GB each.

And the Quadro was not made for the likes of us.

Just saying, they already have the template, all they have to do is remove the "Quadro" features and you have a 12gb gaming card with no other manufacturing tooling setups needed.

It almost feels like Nvidia has a problem coming up with a product to counter 290x (perhaps Maxwell won't be released as soon as rumoured?), so they basically saying "screw it, throw in more vram".

how does that make any sense? oced 780 against oced 290x has the 780 matching or beating the 290x at 2560 or below while using much less power, less heat and less noise. unlocking 25% more sp and tmus along with higher clocks will be more than enough to walk all over the 290x at 2560 and below and beat it at 4k thus the higher price tag. the standard card will have 3gb and there is not any confirmation of even the 6gb although its probably an option.
 
lol 12GB is a lot and it might set the new standard in a year or 2. Most likely though it will cost at least 300 more bucks. Memory is pretty high price still. It would be cool if we could access that memory like if it were system memory. A possible ram drive option would be cool. Load the game partially into video memory and system memory combined. Make almost everything instantaneous.

thats what games do btw
do you think its all used just for frame buffer?
there a lot more that gets loaded in

No, it doesn't work like that. The memory on the Quadro is ECC memory and that is very expensive. They would not use that on a consumer card.

Yes, I understand that ECC Memory would not be used.


Point I was trying to make was from a mass production manufacturing standpoint. The PCB and all the automated equipment to solder have been setup. All you have to do it feed the system 7ghz non-ECC ram instead of 6 ghz ECC Memory and the non-quadro enabled cores.

Thank you,

I love the Quadro...but hate NVidia's ignorant attitude when it comes to SLi support on it, as they only permit Quadro SLi on a few select OEM systems.

I think the possibility of 12 GB on the 780 Ti is remote...I don't think NVidia wants a riot on its hands from Titan owners...

I am going to piss in your guys cheerios and point out that a) 12gb would be pointless, and b) the Titan has more memory then 290x, yet the 290x still beats the Titan.

DING DING DING!

I would add, that the 290x beats the titan by the widest margins as the resolution goes up and up and up.
 
Ppfffffffffffftttt! What do you want to do with less than 24GB? I mean really, vram cut in half to 12GB, UNBELIEVABLE!

LOL....
 
I saw this posted as well: http://videocardz.com/47587/nvidia-geforce-gtx-780-ti-official-gaming-performance

I know people keep bringing up 4K resolution and how AMD does well at that. But I don't think there is many out there running a 4K monitor. By the time 4K monitors will be affordable will be the time people will want to build a new computer anyway. That's just my opinion.

I am going to wait for reviews for the 780 ti to see how it performs in battlefield 4 compared to the 290x at 1440p and then make a decision.

There aren't that many people running 290X's and Titans either (relative to the market size).. it just so happens that those people are the ones who WILL run 4K. The other thing is that it doesn't matter which one of these cards you pick if you're running at 1080P or some pedestrian resolution like that, they'll both destroy games at that res, so when you want to benchmark and compare you need to come up with conditions where the cards have to actually work hard.

Ultra settings and AA still give games a workout at 1440p and 1600p.

A lot of people using downsampling as well. So you don't need a 4K monitor to need that level of performance.

But, it's good advice to wait until the 780Ti arrives and compare again. But I would go one further, especially if BF4 is the game you are upgrading for. Wait until the AMD dvelopers summit is over. It's on the 11th of November. You should learn what Mantle will bring to the table.

That's a BS comparison and you know it. Let's wait until the AIB 290X cards come out and we'll see what happens then.

no its not and you can look at the linustechtip review and see for yourself. of course with your forum name I doubt you would want to ever hear that. Lol

Linus is a good reviewer, but even he admits that they didn't get the best OC they could get out of the card. With proper cooling, the 290X will mop the floor with the 780, because it can easily match the 780's OC headroom.

Hell, I have a custom fan profile on my twin 290X cards, and they don't get above 55*C.

thats a lie
unless your running them in a freezer
 
290X said:
It's the truth, I do have a custom fan profile, though. At idle, it's 60% fan and it ramps from there.

So you run them at a 100% fan speed? The cooler is quite loud as is, at stock. You must live in a loud environment.

Well no, they idle at 60% and have the potential to go as high as necessary. Usually they're around 65%, and heaven brought them up to 89% or so.

Consider that the 780ti was only released out of necessity to beat out the 290x, I dont think we will see nvidia being at all forward with such advances. Maybe near the end of life we might see a 6gb, but it is hard to say if we will even see that coming up to the next generation unless the monitor marked changes SIGNIFICANTLY.

89% fan speed? that's ridiculously loud. they even said in the crossfire review that 65-70% was headache inducing. I think some of you just must be oblivious to loud noise for some reason.
 
Still waiting to see how the 780ti compares to 290x at the Eyefinity and 4k resolutions, since that's where the 290x had the greatest leads. Will the upped memory bandwidth from the increased speed catch it up?
