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.

Two things people here seem to be forgetting:
1. The GTX 690 is a dual GPU board. The 780Ti is a single-GPU. While that doesn't necessarily make the 780ti worth getting (if you already own a 690), it's actually a lot better than people are giving it credit for.
2. We still don't have benchmarks of the R9 290X with a proper cooling system. We don't know how much more potential that has because of having to down-clock itself due to heat.
If the performance would have been closer to 690 (=680SLI) it would definitly have been worth the upgrade. And then of course getting another one when the wallet has recovered.
From another review
Max OC'ed 780GTX is a little faster then stock 780TI (~ 133fps), now OC 780TI to the max and you get this


So ~ 18fps boost for extra 200€.. Imo 550€ max would be ideal for this 780Ti.
Now I really wonder how custom R9-290 preforms once OC'ed
This is interesting. If it's that close to 690 while OCed (and the card DOES seem to like to be OCed) it's more relevant to upgrade.
A shame it doesn't have more vram, other than that, it's a monster card. I would really SLI 2 of them, but I'll hold out for the next generation.
Agreed, 4GB would have been perfect.
Great review, great time for gamers in the market for a new gpu.
I like what I'm seeing here, if I didn't just get a 2nd 7950 a week ago, I would be considering the 780ti very much. Imo for anyone on a gtx 680 or below, this is a nice card, and it's reasonably priced too. It would be a toss up between this and a custon 290 if I was choosing now, the 290 costing around £200 less over here but only performs a fraction worse.
To add to cowie's request, and I did ask this earlier Hilbert, I'd love to see graphics scores added for the 3Dmark benches. If possible.
@Solfaur - you're fine, no need to jump on this, your setup is good for a while

He wants to upgrade, just like me

I currently have 2x5870's, but I'm still using PCIe 2.0, but I want to upgrade to a single card with more VRAM (because my 5870's only have 1GB, and it seems to be causing occasional issues in BF4).
...But I only game at 1080p, and will be doing so for a long time... Would the 290 be overkill? I could probably sell my 5870's for ~$100 each.

Is NV really that desperate for that crown!

Nonetheless, they alls good! There is no such thing as bad GPU, it only bad when reference to value and the price. Gotta give that to AMD!
It's all good to us all. But special thank to AMD for the FU.. PRICES GO.DA.. it!
Have FUN! No, SERIOUSLY! <--Errrggg ... FUN ~ SERIOUS! !@@#$ wtf

going by the price of this thing custom 290x here I come. But awesome card and good review as always
funkiest thing about reading these reviews is how ridiculously fast 7990 is
