In 2160p maybe but that a really small market niche. Screens are really expensive and when 4K will arise, other archs will come and will put GK110 and Hawaii ashamed.



I already said that price is the most important point with Hawaii.
Drop market prices but finally don't get market share up is no success for AMD. nVidia price slash is not really a surprise and was expected also as GK110 had no competitor until now.
Jeez, seems like you cant get either sayings nor sarcasm.
Well if were being literal here, chip cant be noisy too you know, and most chips are hot (a chip as in silicon chip, not a potato chip!).
However i called it "pure gold" as in "a very good thing that has come to us" because it was much needed in this market, prices were going up up.Now, maybe hawaii isnt bringing down titan at low res, and it will get beaten at low res by its successor (which you know, will be more power hungry and hotter to achieve this).But its VERY VERY important that because of this you will get even an opportunity to buy this 780 ti ,and moreover not at the 1500$ price tag.
And for some, god forbid, 290X is a good value with good performance ,having on top of that trueaudio and mantle support means that this 20W higher power consumption in gaming (because you know, a niche number of people play furmark) is not going to matter.
And to say that high res for this types of cards is a niche market, is well at least doubtful statement.
Btw ,you do know that 290x in its QUIET setting is OVERALL a bit faster than 780 ? Delievered too you at premiere at 100$ less.Yeah ,what a fail (that was a SARCASTIC statement).
