No, but they've discontinued the cards in favor of the newer ones. As in, no new ones are being produced now. AMD will do the same once the R7/9 300 series launches.

O

Of course they're being out being outperformed.

The 970/980 are faster cards than 780/780ti?

 

Plus, the 780ti and Titan black are almost the same card, disregarding the 6GB of GDDR5 memory.

AMD just seems like they take forever to release stuff...just like their CPUs, so I guess you could consider that a longer "lifetime" lol. I don't see a problem with discontinuing the 780s, the 970/980 preform roughly the same within margin of error and they are extremely more efficient, why would they still sell the 700 series when the 900 series is cheaper and more efficient with same performance?

what I meant was driver support before the 900 series were released 780 and 780 ti were faster than 290 and 290x just because they discontinued the cards doesn't mean they should stop driver support

Who said driver support was stopped for those cards? They are still supported by current drivers, just as previous generation cards are.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

What he means is that the card is supported, but driver optimization has stopped.
