First NVIDIA GeForce Titan 780 Performance Numbers Revealed
The rumor mill is spinning to galeforce (or should we say GeForce) winds. Its newest sack of flour points at what could be the first performance figure of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce Titan 780 flagship single-GPU graphics card. Circulating among various Chinese tech publications is this 3DMark 11 Xtreme Preset screenshot from the PCinLife community, in which a lucky bloke claimed access to a GeForce Titan 780 engineering sample, and a driver to get it to work. In the scribbled out 3DMark 11 Xtreme Preset score screenshot (below), the source claims the fabled graphics card can singlehandedly score X7107 points. For reference, a GeForce GTX 690 usually scores in the region of X6000 points, and a GTX 680 around X3300. If true, NVIDIA has something truly remarkable up its sleeves, maybe the second coming of 8800 GTX. From older reports, we know that the GeForce Titan is expected to ship sooner than most people think, some time in February.

Don't think it'll get the GTX780 moniker.
Other rumors say the 700 series will be out after AMD 8000 series, around June.
For all i care it could be GTX680 in SLI. If GTX780 will score 6800 graphics at 3dm11 extreme preset im tatooing their logo on my bare ass. :)
This is false news. It is not a 780.
Hehe Nvidia making good on those documents sold by the AMD employee's? :P
I kid.
With the headroom the last gen had and refinements/improvements of the next, it doesn't really surprise me.
I hope AMD has something up it's sleeve none the less.
I had a pair of 7970's and 680's, but ended up selling the systems as I never really gamed that much got my money out of them. I dunno maybe I am just being a big baby, but I really wish we start seeing some KILLER PC games to use that hardware. I highly doubt BF4 will render my current GPU useless.
I know plenty of people still stuck on C2D and 5xxx series ATi cards, as they see no reason to upgrade.
I will say it Titan (GK110) will be a great "premium product", but built and offered just like the GTX690. A Nvidia design/built that they just allows AIB to sticker. Sure AMD won't have any direct competitor, although the price on a 8970 Cross-Fire set-up might be inline, and may well out perform it at times, while not demanding as much power.
I'll be dumping my 7970s in a heartbeat for that. While Kepler does score a bit better in 3dmark11 than Tahiti, X7000 is about what my 7970s get at 1200/1800 MHz...
We'll have to wait and see, though... first the rumor was 85% of a GTX 690's performance and now something like 125% of a GTX 690's performance so who knows...
