GeForce GTX 780 Ti review

In this review we test the GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti is NVIDIA's all new high-end graphics card based off the same chip that is the GeForce GTX Titan. However, NVIDIA probably figured, save the best for last as NVIDIA unlocked the GPU completely meaning all 2880 Shader processors are available. That combined with increased core and memory clock frequencies and nice overclock potential will make this the top 699 USD flagship product to purchase for the Christmas holiday season. So yeah, this means it is based on the GK110 revision B GPU and has an whopping 7.1 Billion transistors. That makes it a nice one of the fastest graphics cards available on the market today. We test the product with the hottest games like Metro: Last light, Battlefield 4, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Hitman Absolution and many more.

I don't think GPU's last that long this days, especially when people are talking about maxwell already.
i might tighten the belt as it were and perhaps upgrade in the next few weeks (sell a kidney or win on the horses) . i do get the impression nvidia is still overcharging..but then if I get a gpu that lasts as long as my 580 i'll be happy.

Well i think they do but not in "newness". I mean the 7970/680 have been out for almost 2 years and really with the exception of crysis 3 and Metro they're still great cards. At the clocks i'm running on my 7970 there isn't much i can't max at 60fps, even though i'm on a 120hz monitor (moving to 780s/290s when get the chance)
My 470 @ 700/1750 is still kicking as well, it's approaching what four years in a couple of months?
I think with AMD securing consoles we as PC gamers should see less need for huge upgrades every two to three years. Considering ports should be eliminated. Should is the key word though.

i just read the review, the 780 TI is an excellent card indeed.
but still i feel good that i purchased the gtx690 back then, its faster than the 780ti monster by a few fps in a various games (eg. 7fps in crysis 3) although nothing a little oc wouldn't achieve, it was all about futureproofing so i don't have to spend money on a new card just yet.
on the other hand while the gtx690 is a plain fantastic card, i have to say that i always preferred single-gpu cards, always been so, and if i didn't own the gtx690 i would've purchased the 780TI faster than the speed of light, the price is good, a no brainer as the review said.
aye.

yeah i keep hearing that but something in my gut says otherwise. (and years of experience tell me I am not often wrong).
(based on no evidence ofc and is probably completely irrational and false).
think am all set on a 290 plus a block just not sure whether to just get the stock card anyways and block later...dunno it's easier in one order...but then need to test stock card anways (which means refilling loop x2...having water does increase the hassle slightly and means u need to use a fair few bits of tissue paper+cloths).((ocuk doesnt have a sale on the sapphires and no full cover ek blocks).
Another awesome review Hilbert
, whats next on the list?
Im a fanboi of the 580, so naturally im going to suggest to upgrade to sli. I can post some benches of certain games or even the same as Hilbert has used as away for you to see if it be worth it. Once i get my net back on that is.
Though, i do recommend waiting to see what maxwell is like.
If i were going to choose now, the 290x water cooled would be my pick.
