GTX 780 Ti price revealed (stock configuration)

[thelude]

Great to see Nvidia dropping the prices. Cause the 780 was a absurd price from the get go. Hopefully this will make AMD release the new 'Never settle bundles' faster with their 290 series cards. 

[flibberdipper]

Why couldn't they have released it on my birthday (which is the 4th).

[MasterJV]

780 $50 cheaper than R9, wow. That some pretty competitive pricing. I'm still deciding between a 780 or a 290x. May go Nvidia because of Shadowplay and stuff, but I really the the free games the AMD part comes with.

[ManOfDisguise]

My Gigabyte R9 280X should be more than enough for me

Completely forgot. Will probably sell the codes for AC and splinter cell, not really interested in those.

[ViruZ_HUN]

Almost the exact same in € 

cant be it cant cost so much?

 

around 549 euros mabye

[Sub]

£399 for a Windforce 780 from scan :-) yes please! 

[Yun4xGaming]

I Still Think ANY Top tier Gaming GPU (For Example TItan) Should cost Maximal 400Euro,450Swiss Francs and 350USD.

[lhikary]

gtx 780 price dropped to $500? Hmmmm

gtx 780ti $700? I aint paying $200 just to get 10fps more in a game -_________-

r9 290x $550 and NO AFTERMARKET CARDS TILL DECEMBER AND CURRENTLY OUT OF STUCK!!

yeah everyone is going for gtx 780 that can beat a titan

amd you better drop off your 290x price for 500 to really kick nvidia HARD but then again thats like not gonna happen but hey we can hope and dream

Nvidia - The Way It Meant To Be Played Since The Beginning Of TIME

[Osmium]

The 780Ti will be faster than the Titan and cheaper.

What are you talking about?! Why on earth would any company release a superior product to their own flagship for less than the cost of it. Performance wise it is in between the two there is no way it can't be. Nvidia may be a little bit greedy but they are not stupid.

The Titan is irrelevant at this point. The 780Ti would likely be an overclocked Titan/more-unlocked GK110 Titan and it will be the new flagship.

As Linus said the cards will be priced where they can perform so Nvidia is charging $700 because they can and we can assume that the 780Ti will outperform a 290x. They have long realised that you can't price the 780Ti at $1000 and idiots will buy it  just for 'that 5% more performance'.

You do realize that the reason the Titan is $1,000 is because it has workstation capabilities, right? That's the only reason it is that expensive.

Nvidia's flagship is the 780 (and now the 780 Ti). The Titan is an exception. It is unique. You can't directly compare them because the Titan has a different feature that makes it's use case very different.

But Titan is marketed toward gamers. "With the DNA of the world’s fastest supercomputer and the soul of NVIDIA Kepler architecture, GeForce® GTX TITAN GPU is a revolution in PC gaming performance." - Nvidia website

 

Yes it is a very capable workstation card but they are presenting it as a gaming card. I know well that there is practically no reason to buy for gaming alone over the 780 but they market it alongside the 780 anyway so I would consider the Titan as their flagship in their gaming cards.. 

[SOLO_AVENGER]

The prices have already come down in the UK, with the cheapest reference card at www.scan.co.uk being £409 compared to the £500 that it was before. We are also apparently seeing an R9 290X from Gigabyte costing £428 compared to an Asus R9 290X which costs £485!

[Zuu111]

Wow, hard to see any of this as anything other than good news all around. With the GTX 780 price drop, and Nvidia holiday game bundle, theres is a legitimate competitive choice to make, either way. Then when you consider GTX 780ti to hit in just over a week, followed by the R290, AND after market coolers for the R290x now supposedly coming by end of November, plus further announcements from AMD re Mantle in November, folks like Linus, Tom Logan, and the rest out there will be very busy, and most gamers will have a ton of info to mull over... how nice to actually have real choice in deciding higher end GPUs! Congrats on AMD for getting back in the game, and to Nvidia for making it a game!

[That Norwegian Guy]

Norwegian price drops has pretty much every aftermarket cooled 780 now at the same or lower price as the R9 290x with stock cooler. 780Ti is only going to be about 8% more expensive than a stock 290x with better performance, shadowplay and g-sync capabilities, I really have to hand this one to Nvidia.

 

Maybe the R9 290 can beat the price and performance of the 780 though. That might shake things up a notch.

 

I'm still waiting for whichever dual-gpu card comes first, or for the GTX 8XX series, as my main game for the coming years is Star Citizen.

[Inkz]

So  a 20$ gap inbetween the 650ti , with boost, and 660 is fine but a 200$ gap between 780 and Ti is also ok?

[WunderWuffle]

The GTX 780 Lightning is currently $750 in the US... They better drop the damn price. 

[LAwLz]

Why is everyone saying 1000 dollar GPUs are something special? Flagship cards have always been very, very expensive. Hell even the 5000 series had ~1000 dollar cards (5970 TOXIC was over 1000 dollars, and the regular model was something like 600 dollars). How about the 4000 series then? The flagship there was 550 dollars, same as the current AMD flagship, the 290X at 550 dollars. The previous generation's flagships then? 590 was 700 dollars and the 6990 was 700 dollars.
The only thing different now is that the flagship cards are single GPU instead of multi-GPU, but the prices are pretty similar still.
 
What I found more interesting than the price was the memory according to HardwarePal (haven't heard of them before):

The only words from Nvidia was that the card would be released next month and is the best solution for both 4K and 4K surround gaming, no details on specification were given out. But according to us, the GTX 780 Ti may have 2880 Cuda cores while having a 384-bit memory interface and up to 12GB GDDR5 memory. As usual, the card would need a 6+8 pin power connector just like the 780 and Titan. It would also feature a Dual-Link DVI, HDMI and display ports.

I had to read that sentence twice because I thought I misread it first.
"up to 12GB GDDR5 memory"

I doubt that's true. It's just too overkill.

 

Anyway I suggest everyone that wants a new GPU to wait until everything has been announced, released and stabilized. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD is forced to lower the price on the 290X now that the 780 is the same or lower priced than it.

the main reason titan was priced so high is because it was so much faster than 680. Its was a lot less of a value when 780 launched. But they still kept the price premium because people were buying it. Yeah it has a lot of advantages and such but it was initially priced as such because it performed 30% better than 680. Yeah it wasn't worth it in price but that's how top teir cards are from both sides.

Why is everything so much cheaper outside of Australia...

people paid 699 for the bf4 r9 290x,the same price as a 780 on pccasegear.com The 780 runs cooler and over clocks better (without needing a massive watercooling loop)

I was waiting for the 290x, but now im going to get a 780 or 780ti. My system only has room for 4x120. And that's after heavy moding.

And I want to run 2 cards

[totjup5]

I'm excited about the price drop on 780s time to sell my 2 660 tis and buy 2 780s

[EChondo]

Well this changed the game a bit.

 

Personally, if you're gaming on resolutions under 4k, then get a 780, but if you're gaming at 4k or close to it then the 290X would be your best bet(after market coolers come out of course).

[TopWargamer]

Those are some nice prices, but instead of upgrading to a whole new graphics card, I'm just gonna buy a 2nd 7950. Will be cheaper AND I'll be getting a significant performance boost.
