Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

I'm not buying it for compute. Although I wanted a 7850, the 7870 outclasses all cards in the same price region on nearly every metric, even if only gaming related ones are taken into account.

Also, perf / dollar is a constantly shifting comparison between nvidia and ati due to the constant price drops that ati forced. What I was talking about was things like perf/transistor / mm^2 / watt, all sorts of things that were architecturally derived (and not market derived), that are now being used as merits for the nvidia instead of ati, while noticeably physx and cuda have taken a huge back seat in all reviews published thus far. It's hypocrisy.

Not that it really bugs me, but it should be acknowledged.

How it it hypocracy when ON TOP OF THAT even the $400 GTX670 flat out outperforms not only 7950 but also 7970 at a lower cost? Yeah, Nvidia also provides a more feature rich solution.

WTF does 7870 outclass? Its hardly faster than a GTX570 that I could have and did pick up a year and a half before 7870 was ever released. I don't get your logic. Its just hardcore fanboyism.

When GTX680 launched it was cheaper than 7970, faster, and drew less power. The first two are the most important part.
