GTX 780 Ti - where to buy

The GTX 780 Ti is in an interesting position compared to its competition. Compared to its closest price competitors lower in the food chain, the GTX 780 and the R9 290X it looks like a fairly compelling value. Compared to the next card down AMD, the R9 290, things start getting more complicated if you're willing to overlook the heat output and noise levels of the R9 290. And finally, compared to the only "gaming" card positioned above it, the GTX Titan, 780 Ti looks like a downright STEAL! Titan customers really were spending extra on a card that was geared more for compute. The GTX 780 Ti is faster and less expensive.

£550-600 seems like an alright price for them.  Think I'm going to wait and see how Mantle performs before I buy a new card though.

[flibberdipper]

That is one sexy video card. Now we just wait for ASUS to make a DirectCU II version. Although, I think the stock card looks really sexy.  :wub:

[Trail Mixorz]

I don't see any on those pages?

[TheRuke]

Why did you post a vid while I'm in school

and I had so much free time this morning...

 

Thanks, Obama

I guess my question is this "if many people have displayed graphs about PCI Express 2.0 vs 3.0 why didn't nvidia jus increase the Bus size to 512 like the 290X with 4Gb of memory at 7Ghz

Have you seen benchmarks and forgotten about Mantle?

Hey Linus I will be more than happy to borrow that card from you and test it on my setup to see if we get similar results in benchmarks...

 

Don't worry I will give it back.

[wng_kingsley7]

The Titan Eraser hath come. The new KING'sley of single GPU has been released to eat your 290X.

For some reason I just wanna tease Linus about when he said "It'll let you choose your setting" Linus come on....... I think not. Just MAX it!

the links do not fidn 780 TI??

ohh lets see what happens with they get aftermarket + mantle + that price difference... is it really worth it?

 

WHAT he really should have said "if you are looking at the titan, focus on the 780ti"...no wait for the 800 series

also another thing to concider is the 290x drivers are still in beta... the 780/780ti are all the same cores so Nvidia already has matured drivers for it.

the 290's don't have proper voltage access yet either.

Don't lie.......

 

Have you seen benchmarks and forgotten about Mantle?

Mantle will be helpful for game developer support for games like Star Citzen & BF4, hopefully Watchdogs and GTV 5 however I'd like to see how AMD will react when customers are saying (hypothetically) my FPS spikes look stupid and Jen-Hsun is just chilling there with his second gen G-SYNC monitor. Benchmarks aren't really realistic so to speak. Running a game by itself is a indeed benchmark but if its only the game not with other applications open at the same time its really not realistic.

We don't have mantle yet so i cannot comment about that.

no, the 290X isnt a competitor for the 780Ti, its also more expensive so its obvious! fanboy

Tom Logan's review of the the 780 Ti

I really like Linus's review and unboxing of it since his style is brief and elaborate and Tom's is long but really indepth

[M-ursu]

Sexyness overload!

[flibberdipper]

Sexyness overload!

Agreed.

[TheMissxu]

Complicate... Yes.

2 question:

1. Will there be non-reference?

2. Does it down clock a lot when it reaches high temps like the r9-290x which I have seen in some benchmarks dropping to 750 mhz when pinned at 94c?

 

I was really hoping for 6gb of ram being someone that has a surround setup and really enjoys surround I was hoping getting 2 of these cards with 6gb would be a dream. Lots of speed and lots of ram. Starting to wonder if the 3gb will still be fine if I pair 2 of these cards or wait and see what happens.

[Knickerbocker]

Buy it from small businesses partnered with a GPU manufacturer. They always sell them for like 100 bucks less

1. Probably in all likelyhood

2. Neither Linus (Slick) or TTL have seemed to reach high enough temps to even getting close to a thermal threshold. You'll probably have to smother the fan to get those temps

[Exotath]

For those who own eVGA cards.... step up to reference GTX 780 Ti is available now.

 

That is if you are within your 90 day purchase window.

 

I am #22 in queue.

[TechSage]

Damn. Why the fuck do you still put 3GB vram on such a high end card so you can't even use surround. I love and hate you Nvidia. 

[Deadrogue]

So they can make a 4gb card later on and charge 50 dollars more for it.
