GeForce GTX 780 Ti review [Guru3D.com]

Overclocked 780ti is 23fps faster than the stock 780ti in that test, and 35fps faster than 290x uber. This works out to be 31% faster than the 290x Uber.

Here is a test run with a more fitting resolution since I doubt anyone buying this card will be running 1080p and little to no AA.



Thats a 24% improvement over the 290x and more importantly, your frame rate wont drop below 60fps like it would with the AMD card.

and here:


This is overclocked, and shows a 32% improvement over the 290x uber.

And back to battlefield 3...



A whopping 40% faster!



And considering this card runs much cooler and quieter, and uses MUCH less electricity... and has more reliable driver... and PhysX and Shadowplay... i'd definitely go with the better, more expensive 780ti.

But considering I still have a 680, i'm just going to wait for Maxwell considering it is going to be a monster. Recent leaks which may or may not be reliable say The NVIDIA Maxwell GM100 chip would consist of 8 GPCs consisting of 24 SMX modules (3 SMX Per GPC), 384 TMUs, 6144 Cuda Cores, 8 MB of L3 Cache (8 L2 cache’s per GPC), 64 ROPs, a 512-bit interface followed by a VRAM upto 8 GB GDDR5 operation at around 7 GHz.

 

290 made 290x look badly in perf./price regards. 780 got thanks to it fair price. 780Ti gives 10% more power for 50% higher price.

Same as always. When AMD comes with stronger card they give you fair price from start.
When nVidia comes with stronger one, price is in category premium extra.

780Ti looks good from perf. temperature pov, but it ends there. Smart person would go with 780 or even 770 if nV is preference.

 

Uber mode doesn't mean the 290 was overclocked. Also, I wouldn't say it uses "much less" electricity, especially not overclocked. Maybe 20W at best.

 

... Waiting for Mantle reviews... Cool cards are nicer... but at that price premium?

 

780s have dropped £30 off their price in the last week /since 780ti launch, 780 classy now £450. 780ti vanilla now £560.

 

Very solid card for PREMIUM price

What i want to see :

OC@GTX 780 Ti vs. OC@R290X Non referrence cooling.

 

this, I can't see 40 fps increase of 780ti over 290x in that bf3 chart, there's 20% more performance, also, the 780ti is power hungry too.

 

OC 780Ti vs 290X "über" 88.8fps - 65.7fps = 23.1fps difference that's actually 35%. So and overclocked 780Ti is 35% faster that a 290X in über mode. That a good size margin BUT I want to se OC vs OC bring on the customs of both.

 

that's 780ti OC. I was looking at this...

65 vs 78, that's 20%. there's no point in comparing stock vs overclocked.

 

What I was saying was that he was referring to 290x vs 780Ti OC that's where he was getting his number.

The pricings terrible, you've just been fooled by Nvidia if you think its good, yer probably just seeing it as around the normal 780 launch pricing, so yeah, its same pricing as the normal 780, but its faster, = good pricing, its also faster than the 1k Titan, so again, good pricing.

Now though, looking at the whole picture, the normal 780 is £400, its not much slower, yet the Ti is £160-£200 more expensive, = not good, the Titan is still way to expensive, and was just used by Nvidia to rip all their customers a new one, which they are now seeing, as the faster Ti is around half its price, so got to feel for those, been ripped a new one big style, = not good.

Then theres the 290s, which are also not much slower than the Ti like the 780, and they are, £100-£150 cheaper for the x, and £240+ cheaper for the non x, they also have a wider bus, and an extra 1gb vram, so again, Ti = not good.

780 Ti pricing is absolute sh!te, its way to high when you look at that whole picture, which is what Nvidia don't want you to see, they want you to see what they see, and that is, the 780 Ti coming in at the same price as the slower 780, so its good pricing, and if you are just seeing that, then Nvidia are doing their job.

Got to feel for the 780 owners to tbh, as they've been well and truly ripped as well, as one minute their cards were £550+, next they £400, so imagine the profit Nvidia have been making off them as well.

Reminds me of their 2xx series, when their prices got slashed not long after release, thanks to AMD as well, there was hell on.

 

Same as all the 7970 owners out there that bought their cards at launch for $550 to only see them at $350 6 months later?

 

Yup, they both do it, AMD had no competition for their 7970s when they released em, so they took advantage and priced em sky high, ripping their customers a new one, both are as bad as each other at the end of the day.

 

Indeed. It's amazing how fast the price/performance has increased during the late period.
We are getting more and more. But it's worth it and we deserve it as we've been ripped off for far too long.

Now the prices are only beginning to get more normal and more "purchasable".

 

You forgot G-Sync :boozer:

 

I can OC mine. What benchmark would you like?

 

Did you use Shadowplay? :3eyes:
