Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

They are not making GF110 anymore afaik, so that is EOL. You can still buy from the stock that is left, though.

AMD improved performance by around 40% (on average) compared to the 6970. This it not much for a new node. According to the latest info/speculations Nvidia focused heavily on perf/W this time around. So it is not unlikely that GK104 will improve quite more than 40% compared to its predecessor, the 560(Ti). I don't find it unreasonable that GK104 will land in between 7950 and 7970. That would make it only 60% faster than the 560Ti - an increase that is not uncommon for a new node.

Also, by the time GK104 launches, prices for the 7970 might have dropped a bit due to matured process and better availability. Considering that there is still GK110 for the segment above, why wouldn't GK104 be priced at 300$? If it were overpriced like the 7970, what would they want for GTX680? 800$? Who would buy that?

Think back of the 8800GT. It was priced in the 250$-300$ range and was also around 30% faster than the fastest previous offering of the last generation, the X1950XTX - just like the 7970 is around 30% faster than the GTX580. You see the parallel? It was a great deal and nobody cried "impossible". Tahiti and GK104 will have similar die sizes, so similar performance is to be expected, especially since GK104 probably is a chip trimmed for gaming while AMD had to make compromises due to HPC. The difference between Nvidia and AMD this round is, that AMD again stops at <400mm2 die while Nvidia will (as always in the last 6 years) have offerings above that. GK104 will be the new 8800GT in my opinion. And 8800GTX and Ultras followed suit.

And please stop calling people fanboy. That is childish and immature.
