Nvidia unveils the GeForce GTX 780 Ti

[blindbox]

Dude single worst card I have ever heard is Radeon 4890.... Mine sounded like a diesel turbo spinning up
290x can't be nearly that bad

Great that you mentioned this. I remembered not ever bothering with the noise my Radeon 4890 generated over the sound of my headphone or my ceiling fan. R9 290x's noise is probably a non-issue for me, not that I'll buy anything from this gen, though.

That said, I don't mine/fold/etc while I sleep, so they all stay in sweet idle.

Everything in my machine is at full load 24/7 and I sleep 3m away from it. I grew up on a busy main road and now stay in a very quiet neighborhood, the noise actually helps me to sleep at night

Something new about 780 Ti:

It seems, GPU is still GK110 revision A1. But you already knows, fully unlocked.
This card is monster, colleage made some test with modded INF actual drivers, OVERCLOCKED out of the box 250+ MHz on GPU with 6300 points in 3D Mark 11 Extreme. Without any volatge tuning, and with silent cooler. Nobody want R9 290X after this monster will be launched, maybe only for few dollars

You mean beside people who wont pay 699$ for a GPU ?150$ is pretty big difference ,and i feel in a month R290X will be 499.
As for the revision, its been circulating that 780 supports 11.2 DX, it would be rather difficult to add that without a newer revision.

Yuck, A1 isn't that the same as gtx titan but these are binned better I can imagine.

If the stock clocks are 875mhz + 250 = 1125mhz which isn't that impressive even without adding voltage(unless it naturally boosts to that) because we all know it doesn't take any effort for titan to reach past 1100mhz. What i would rather see is consistent 1300mhz overclocks compared to the 1200 we get now.

That 3dmark is pretty good though. I was just looking and it takes a titan overclocked to 1254mhz to reach 6400.

[PedantOne]

you are missed Boost clocks, 875+Boost+250 = more then yours 1125 MHz

vario - you are right, 699 is more then 549, but we are in enthusiast segment, for best performance you will pay always premium price

[boxleitnerb]

~1200 MHz without voltage increase? I don't believe that. That may be stable for a quick 3DMark bench, but not game stable. My two Titans are not stable at 1200 MHz@1.2V.

[PedantOne]

this is stable at 1200+ on all test he made, 3D11 Extreme Firestrike Extreme, Heaven 2560 + 8AA, Crysis 3, and many more games.

[boxleitnerb]

Maybe a golden sample. Oh, important: How far can you increase the power target? If it's only 106% (assuming 100% is again 250W like Titan and 780), it would be disappointing. Even with water, my Titans throttled before I could raise the power target to 120-125% using a modded bios.

[tajoh111]

So about 1175 mhz with boost clocks about which would be in line with that titan score. Its pretty decent, but what will be the important thing is how far this thing overclocks. Disappointed if they are all A1. Seems like Nvidia was hoarding all this time.

Well I guess for most people 1175mhz if it is quiet and doesn't consume much power is a lot more usable and faster than the under 1000mhz people are getting with 290x unless they turn up the fan profile to prevent throttling when they overclock.

~1200 MHz without voltage increase? I don't believe that. That may be stable for a quick 3DMark bench, but not game stable. My two Titans are not stable at 1200 MHz@1.2V.

Well then again, Nvidia might have raised the default voltage. Maybe not exccessive like the original 7970 ghz edition, but enough where higher clocks are possible without having to add real voltage.

[[XC] Oj101]

1125mhz which isn't that impressive even without adding voltage(unless it naturally boosts to that) because we all know it doesn't take any effort for titan to reach past 1100mhz.

You realise this isn't a little GTX TITAN, right?

[tajoh111]

You realise this isn't a little GTX TITAN, right?

Yup, but I would have hoped it wasn't the same stepping as Titan. A full gk110 only has 7 percent more shaders, I would hope it could boost higher than the leaks bios specifications without resorting to any overclocking. I.e 900 base clock about 1000 plus boost clocks under default.

If the gtx 780 ghz edition does exist, there might only be a 6-9% difference between the two for performance at the clocks gtx 780 Ti is set at.

If it was running a new stepping, I could see it being cooler than old gtx titan and thus boosting to higher levels. But with the same stepping, it might as well be running the same clocks since base clock only determines the minimum performance, temperature otherwise control how much the card boosts. And with the memory controller being pushed more and perhaps higher voltage, we might not get much of a frequency increase which is important for review performance(not so much overclocking performance).

[[XC] Oj101]

Regarding clock speeds... Just... Wait and see. I'm biting my tongue very, VERY hard at the moment, as much as I have said already there's still a lot more that I can't say

[boxleitnerb]

Sounds like the 780 Ti clocks higher than what videocardz.com said or that it is an excellent overclocker (1200-1300 MHz).

[Doug2507]

Do you think it's wise to grab a couple of these on launch or wait for higher spec revisions, i.e, classy etc if it goes that way?

[PedantOne]

about default performance, find my leaked score in 3dmark 11 few days back, and remeber that number

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti with 3GB, 6GB and 12GB memory
The new NVIDIA?s flagship is much more than GeForce GTX 780 replacement. Despite the fact that reference card will only arrive with 3GB memory, it does not mean that there won?t be the cards with more memory. The rumor has it that NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti will be available in 3 versions: 3GB, 6GB and even 12GB. Which version are you going to choose will only depend on how deep your pockets are.

No custom models next week

According to my information, we won?t see custom GTX 780 Ti models at launch. This is the same story as with R9 290X, manufacturers were simply not prepared for this release, so it will take some time to finalize the designs with custom PCBs and cooling solutions.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti has great overclocking potential
NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti features 876 MHz base clock and 928 MHz boost clock. I managed to confirm that with stock cooler it can overclock up to 1240 MHz (based on Afterburner readings). I even saw a GPU-Z screenshot with 1851 MHz memory clock (7.4 GHz). I don?t know if these are stable clocks, all I know it was enough to complete multiple 3Dmark benchmark runs, which I saw.

I made a chart with cumulative performance from 3DMark11 and 3DMark Fire Strike (both Extreme presets). These scores are based on 100% true tests, I was asked not to publish the numbers, but nobody said I cannot post them in percentages.

I took R9 290X as a reference for this comparison. Long story short, the GTX 780 Ti is about 6% faster than R9 290X, this is out-of-the-box performance. With overclocking GTX 780 Ti can be 15-23% faster than R9 290X. To illustrate, GTX 780 Ti scored 6100k points in 3DMark 11 with 1246 MHz clock, and let me remind you, we are still talking about reference cooler.

Since synthetic benchmarks are never the best performance indicator, thus I will post gaming performance as soon as possible. Treat this post as a sneak peak of what GTX 780 Ti is capable of.

I will post more information tomorrow so stay tuned.

[LordEC911]

In fact they did and they mentionned it :

http://www.hardware.fr/articles/910-...cole-test.html

They wait temperatures/frequencies stabilization to launch the bench. Room temperature is fixed @ 26 degrees celsius also, in order to give fair results accuracy.

That's not a GTX680 review... Nice try.

- show me a gtx 780 that cant to 1250mhz

I will show you every single GTX780 ever made.

Demoed on Titan, I don't think it would do so well on a 780GTX.

They don't need DP for that...
This was also showcased awhile ago, I wanna say last year, but I don't think they mentioned Flex.

That's not a GTX680 review... Nice try.

The GTX 680 only has Boost 1.0. And Boost 1.0 is barely temperature dependent. The pre-heating argument should only concern Boost 2.0 and Powertune Next cards, i.e. GTX 760, 770, 780, Titan, 780 Ti and 290 and 290X (and future cards that employ these Boosts).

[Olivon]

That's not a GTX680 review... Nice try.

U right. That's a 290X review with same testing conditions than 780/Titan cards.

And I bet nVidia had this planned months ago.

[tajoh111]

I remember Oj101 mentioning something about this card.

http://videocardz.com/47530/nvidia-g...pecial-edition

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti special black edition

While the original GTX 780 Ti will run at 876/928 MHz clocks, the exclusive special edition will boost to 1000/1033 MHz (unconfirmed). Both variants will have the same memory clock of 7 GHz. The clock speeds are not the only difference. The faster GTX 780 TI has no TDP limit (at least on paper). This card is basically what Uber Mode is to R9 290X, only here you get higher clocks and more memory.

According to our sources, GeForce GTX 780 Ti will arrive with black cooler, so this is more than just a new BIOS.

These are the clocks on want on a Ti. I am certain I will hate the price of these black cards.

[Doug2507]

For those running on water though will there be any point in the 'black edition'?

[Dimitriman]

I'll be waiting for the GTX TI ULTRA BLACK ELITE 2" LONGER DEN U edition.
