Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti Pictured

Great news for NV fans. The overpriced cards had dropped! Go get your 780, Titan.. whatever you wanted and go to your corner and enjoyed!! Remembered to thank AMD for the prices dropped! Also, feel sorry for the previous suckers! :toast:

Great news for AMD fans. Those overpriced cards days are over. Get your moneys, your car key and go get the performing you wanted!

There now children, happy now?!!! Now, STFU and thank both companies bringing these awesome technologies:rockout: to you.
 
That's one of the most hilarious BS I've seen in a while, you don't seriously think that right? REALLY??

"AMD owns all price points from 550$ down to 250$" did you really just make that claim? this is unbelievable. Who are you?

I love it and all when people quote the MSRP prices AMD gave, but what utter non-sense, have you actually tried buying this card???? how many people actually got it at those price? I'm asking a honest question here, because one of my coworkers actually tried to get one the 290x, for one thing, hes out of luck since they're all out of stock, and another, they are selling $100-150 well above their quoted price.

In my country (and I'm sure for many countries around the world) 290x is actually more expensive than the gtx780, the 290x is selling well into $700~750 while the gtx780 is selling for around $650. So don't be going around spreading this BS that AMD is winning on price war atm.

one thing to learn from this, AMD doesn't control the prices at the moment, market does. and truthfully, not many people was actually able to grab the card since launch, there seem to be some severe quantity issues, it sounds to me AMD is just throwing a bone at the crowd that got everyone all riled up, and everyone got all nuts and crazy about but none to had for themselves. but hey, who cares, market ploys work, troll will continue to troll, whats new?

Well sorry for going with local prices where a 780 goes from 550$ to 800$ and a 290 goes for 475$(cheaper and faster than a 780) the 290X goes for 650-680$(still cheaper or equal in price to a custom 780 with BF4 at the 680$). The 770 at 350-500$ loses to the 280X at 350$ to 400$. The 760 is safe because it's at a price point of 300-375$ at which you can't find an AMD card. And at 225$-280$ the 270X is the best card.
I checked newegg and the Sapphire r9 290 cost 399$ and the HIS r9 290X goes for 549$ so I don't see how these prices are inflated above MSRP. The r9 280X goes for 299-359$ on newegg and the 270X is in the 200$ area on newegg all these prices are inflated above the MSRP.

If nVidia brings out maxwell on a smaller fabrication then nvidia can safely price the maxwell chips competitively with these cards. AMD however will be working on "smaller" fabrication as its time to rejuvenate their current lineup.

The decreased die size being less expensive is not always true anymore. With the past two generations (40nm and 28nm) the new process has been transistor for transistor more expensive than the previous process, at least for the first year or so of production. This is why the first card to launch anymore is the high end card, where the performance gains from the new process are more important than the additional cost. I wouldn't expect mid-range 20nm cards until mid or late 2014; until then we will get large 28nm chips like Tahiti marked down in price to fill the gap.

Learn to read, I said many countries around the world, you are quoting specifically newegg from US, and newegg alone. yes we all know newegg has the lowest price among all. we dont need you to reiterate it. it represents a tiny minority of the all the 290/290x sold, you also fail to mention that newegg was also known for its limited quantities and often out of stock. for example, amazon from UK is quoting around 800USD for the 290x, and in Asia were majority of the market is, the 290x is selling well into 700-750USD in popular stores.
 
I'm seeing some irony here.

I'm also seeing arguments that have gone back and forth since the implementation of the GPU. Minds aren't going to be changed.




What's ironic?

I was making a joke, while he was apparently being serious. If this site frowns upon levity, then perhaps I should take my business elsewheres... hint:(I'm joking again)
 
Where are the mods?
 
Absolutely, at the end of the day forum warriors ain't business men and most of them can only see things through their preferred brand goggles.

GK110 Titan had no competition 9 months ago and as such sold for a 1000$ because why the f*ck not, but as at least you can appreciate things move on. Now nVidia have taken their full fledged yet ageing and coming to the end of it's life GK110 chip to 700$. So despite the tears there is progress to price vs performance. PS thanks for showing up AMD.

Fact is the majority of those moaning about the price have/had no intention of buying one anyway.

Much like certain people moaning in the AMD threads.

I wonder who those people are ?.. Not too difficult to tell.

Indeed, like you prefer AMD, that's cool. ;)

I look forward to your negative spin on Nv's financials.
 
Yes, I have SLI 780's in one of my builds, and they have been great for running 120Hz on my overclocked 1440p monitor, just like my 7970Ghz has been great at pushing FPS on my 1200p monitor too.

:) sorry about my multiple posts.

I'm beginning to think they are the same person...

Didn't know owning 5 to 1 Nvidia cards made me prefer AMD. Can't argue with that logic.

No negative spin needed. Just listen in to the conference call same as AMDs.

I'll let you get back to thanking your Green Team posts. Don't want your morale getting low for going for too long without reassurance.
 
haha $699. good luck with that. Don't care about performance crown, the price is ridiculous.
I believe every performance crown GPU is sold in pretty few number and probably sold at loss. The function of perfomance crown is for Halo effect (i.e. boost brand image and help sell value but profit maker GPU). That's why Ferrari built TralalaFerrari/Enzo/F50/F40, to boost ferrari image as uber sportscar and therefore help sell 458/430/360 etc.
 
Interesting couple of comments from Gibbo at OcUK

I gave him the gigabyte 780ti to play with, but it was stock with no mods so can be done by others. The card is a very impressive overclockers, far better than Titan ever was due to something new on the PCB which I can't mention until tomorrow but it works very well.

Yup only chance a 780 has if it's on water and a very good clocker, as you will need 1400+ core and 7500+ memory on a 780 to compete with an over clocked 780Ti on stock cooler.

Reworked power delivery so it would seem

Yep saw that bit earlier, let's hope for something really beefy.

I could pick one up if it's a good board.

Reliable 1400 Mhz on full GK110 is what I want.

NVIDIA GTX 780Ti Noise test

dat heaven bench is still choppy (now that i think of it, it may be the $hit-tube stutter problem).. are those dynamic (not baked in) shadows flickering there?

Pretty pointless without showing a quantitative baseline:

i hope amd answers with 3500 stream processors, 256 tmus and 96 rops chip with mk-26 black right away :D

And a pot of LN2 to keep it running at stock.

Wait, wait, wait. Why would we care about how much the cards cost in the UK and Asia when we live in the US? Being a consumer in the North American market, and this being a website that's primarily targeting a North American Audience. I agree "AMD owns all price points from 550$ down to 250$"

the amount of ignorance and desperation displayed by AMD fanboys are simply baffling.:eek:
