Nvidia unveils the GeForce GTX 780 Ti

In short benchmarks yes. Under longer load rather not. Then all Nvidia boost 2.0 cards clock down significantly towards base clock because they hit 80C and stay there - unless you increase the temperature target.

Yeah that true. But then again, at least against the competition, the 290x, the results should still be pretty similar because the 290x gets a similar boost from short bench sessions.

The 780ti needs more video memory for 4k gaming. There's rumors of a 12gb version... is that even possible?

It needs more ROP than memory with 4k because of the number of pixels on the screen.

What AMD did by giving every reviewer that mattered a 4k monitor is genius. Its a trojan horse. Of course reviewers are going to accept a free 4k monitor if all they have to do is test at 4k. But ultimately, the results are irrelevant as the monitors are too expensive for the next few years and it serves to make AMD cards look dominant by pushing a bottleneck in Nvidia cards. I haven't seen a single gamer put into their signature owning a 4k monitor yet from the reviews, its seems like just a common a resolution as 2560*1440. Heck i think I have seen a review that tested at 1080p and 4k but miss 2560. I don't think 4k will become mainstream for at least 4 years, 3500 for a 4k monitors is much too steep and costs more than 99 percent of the computers, even on a hardware website.

Wonder why you are concerned with mainstream, when this are enthusiast cards. You also forget the same thing applies for multi monitor setups. It doesn't matter if you have one monitor with 3840?2160 or 2 1440p displays they are all in the range of 8 megapixel. Also already at 4 mega pixel most reviews show a lead of the 290x vs the titan and thats only one 1440p display which are quite affordable today.

Even the enthusiast don't have 4k monitors yet. 3500 dollars is a crap load to spend on monitors. In addition, someone that going to spend that much on a gaming monitor is best off getting multicards setups up anyway as a 290x can barely get things playable(plus why cheap out, you just spent 3500 on a monitor) and at that point the bottleneck put on the nvidia setup disappears. Two 1440 p monitors isn't really a resolution you see people use. multi monitor 2 monitors setups are stupid for gaming. Who wants a bezel in the center of their field of view. In general, 27" monitors are a poorer choice for multimonitor set up in general because their bezels are too big. In addition, to do a triple 27" monitor setup at at around 11mp, takes tremendous power and at that point your best getting one card for every screen.

Heck even 1080 eyefinity setup can be too stressful for a single 290x. I was just looking at techpowerup's review and anything recent beside grid 2(and the nvidia setup was also playable with this setup) didn't get playable frame rates.

2560*1440 only make up 2 percent of the monitors on steam hardware survey and that's with 27 imacs, 300 dollar korean monitors and the people who spend 700 on a dell or samsung. These are the people who already make up the enthusiast.

4k monitor setups are for the freakish enthusiast who spends a order of magnitude more than most people on setup like Vega. And those type of customers are the one in tens of thousands.
