gtx 880 vs 780ti

[flibberdipper]

I wonder what they would say about my 465 lol

(in a snobby, waiter accent) "Would you like your drink shaken, or violently stirred, sir?"

[DGPC]

I would hope so... but new cards coming out doesn't make the current ones any less awesome

[Prophet of Entropy]

880s probly wont be out for 8-10 months, and when they do come out they will probably be better then a 780ti but will cost 700ish, since that seems to be what nivida wants their high end consumer cards to cost. 

 

 

the reason 780s dropped in price was the 290X came out and made nivida  release fully a enabled gk110 card to maintain their status as the manufacturer of the highest performance gpu.

[ViruZ_HUN]

I hope it will be more powerfull. The specs is already rumored on Videocards.com but that, nahhh , thats seems to be untrue, at least 3000 CUDA cores..

And the pricing would be good if it would be under 600 USD or 600 Euro.

 

 

I want it to be more powefull because i would not like to buy old tech when i "finally" will buy a pc. 

[NVgamer]

nvidia will most likely  release the highest end card from the line up and my bet is we wont see any mid-range or top tier cards untill 3-6 months after that. Your looking to spend between 1000-1299 for the new GTX 880 or Titan 2 w/e they call it at initial release 

[Beefmaster]

The rumors say that maxwell is aimed at power savings not massive fos gains it won't be noticeable and I recommend u get 780ti now before the benchmarks on the 880 come out and the price of 780ti goes up alot

[Dr.DoomCup]

Will a red giant be more powerful than a blue dwarf?

[Npc_Hydra3]

Why do people keep asking the same thing. It will more than likely be like a 10-15% performance increase from the previous generation equivalent. (like it usually is)

10-15% from a 780ti is a lot IMO. 

[cliff_182]

i think it'll have the same performance of the 780ti 

with less power consumption

but at the $500 mark

Advancement in tech usually means (should mean) that you'll get noticeably more performance out of the same tier in a higher series (Tier 1/2 for X80 with GTX, depending how you look at it and unincl. Ti versions). It also means a higher price tag for being better, and a higher price tag for being new (very new, specifically for 800-series cores).

Then there's the thing about silicon and binning their chips. That's where Ti's and I think Ti BOOSTs come in to play, which could either bridge a large price gap or completely bump some prices up if they don't exist. I'm thinking that NVidia might've held back on some for the 700 series just to use it with 800-series cards.

So, worst case scenario, GTX 880 (if it's even called that) is roughly maybe 5-7% better performance than the 780Ti and costs $80+ more at MSRP reference cards. Best case scenario (being generous, considering AMD cards are about to hit the floor in prices, but I think new Hawaiis wont be out for another year) would be... 8-10% performance boost at slightly higher MSRP or same performance at the same MSRP.. NVidia has a window with Maxwell that grants them a chance to price hike like mad, and you'll probably notice it with EVGA cards the most. EVGA likes to do that with anything above ACX, and even ACX cards are way expensive compared to Windforce X3s, MSi's non-ref, etc.

Super speculative, here. Not really sure what to expect out of Maxwell but I assume it's gonna be a lot more powerful. If it is, it's more likely to be much more expensive than I predict. It just doesn't make sense for it to be in my opinion. Would be cool to see 850s be comparative in performance to 770s/right inbetween 760/770, but 870+ with 3gb of VRAM or more.

The benefits of them doing that would be seeing something like 830s/840s at good prices for budget and mid-range pc's. If they can't ever fill anything in below a GTX X60 again, they need to change the card titles. It stopped making sense at 600.

TSMC is claiming very good transistor density scaling for 20nm which is what the 880 will be based on. In addition to the better density they are expecting pretty significant power reductions but not quite so high clock speeds. Given that this is basically a doubling of density you can basically expect twice as many CUDA cores in the same area. Considering they are using the same light focus distance maximum die size is also about the same. So it all rests on the thermal problems that smaller brings, how much additional power running twice as much logic in the same area is going to be.

 

But its not unrealistic to expect at least 50%, potentially 100% depending on how power scaling goes. We should be looking at up to about 6000 CUDA cores for an 880 in the next generation at the same die size but that is potentially a higher TDP part.

Id hope so as thats going to be my next big pc purchase pertaining basically that

Not that much actually. Not enough to make this big a deal over it like everyone is thinking it is going to be a god and destroy everything it will just be outdated in another year so why is anyone even caring?

[MrAlexOneill]

I think it will do the same as the 680 and the 770. The 770 is slightly more powerful in terms of Cuda cores, and Clock Speeds. The 780ti and the 880 will follow the same path in my opinion.

[Mateyyy]

Because of the new Maxwell GPU, I think it will be the same as Fermi to Kepler. A GTX 660 Ti is beating a GTX 580.

I would say a GTX 860 or GTX 860 Ti is going to beat a GTX 780, don't know if it's going to beat the GTX 780 Ti too.

I am looking to get a GTX 770 or 780, but I think it's better to wait for Maxwell to launch. It's quite bad to get now a GTX 780 and in a few weeks or months you will get even better performance for almost half the price...

[TheProfosist]

It wont be outdated in a year. Why would you eve think that?

I dont think so since theyll be a different architecture not just the same one revised.

[SomewhatInsane]

"Somewhat" kicks ass

 

Thanks.

[Npc_Hydra3]

Because a year after it's released another one will be as well so technically it will be outdated, not useless, but outdated nonetheless. 

[TheProfosist]

Outdated to me means it no longer viable for the new stuff that coming out. And technically new ones wont be coming likely, just revisions of the current ones.

I doubt that...

[lachyman]

What kind of stupid question is this, of course it's gonna be faster!

[totjup5]

Yeah

[ivhyn]

Tiny bus for 4GB Vram. It will suffice but Nvidia can't sell 880s with double the ram without significant loss in throughput.
