GeForce GTX 780 Pictured Some More
It turns out that NVIDIA's upcoming high-end graphics card, the GeForce GTX 780, is indeed based on the GK110 chip, and to the extant of featuring the same reference-design PCB and cooling solution as the GeForce GTX TITAN. Chinese portal IT168 posted press-shots of the card. If you overlook the "GTX 780" embossing on the cooler, half the number of memory chips, and another very subtle difference, you will easily mistake the GTX 780 for a GTX TITAN.
Pictures reveal the card to feature an ASIC bearing the number "GK110-300-A1," which is rumored to feature 2,304 CUDA cores, 192 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide memory interface. Given that the card features just twelve 2 Gbit memory chips, the total memory amount should be 3 GB. The card is said to feature clock speeds of 863 MHz core, 902 MHz GPU Boost, and 6.00 GHz memory, which belts out 288 GB/s memory bandwidth. It draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The 4-way SLI-capable card gives out display from a pair of dual-link DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort connectors.

"likely the same day" was my interpretation.

2304 CUDA cores vs 2688
224 TMU's vs 192
really atm what is limiting most nvidia gpu's atm is memory bandwidth not.Opencl was for most part unused, cept for like bitcoin. It was kinda like Opengl.
Neat cards these, but the true gem is GTX 770. Low power draw and some mighty impressive memory clocking in the tune of 8GHz :o Fun times ahead:toast:
Hope the price isn't as epic as its spec.
TPU Link - TPU seems to be having some issues at the moment so the link might not work.

Lets just ponder what NVidia has done here. They released titan for an exhorbitant price while planning to release basically the same card as a mainstream card a few weeks later.
Personally I think it sucks, how they kept quiet about the 780, even hinting that titan would be it until the end of the year because AMD are sticking with the 7970 Ghz edition. They would have had both cards being manufactured at the same time. It just shows a total disrespect for customers imo.
I have a NVidia 680 at the moment so Im not a AMD fanboy but NVidia as a company stinks, they pull this stuff time and time again.
I will look for 780 non-reference but I NVIDIA can drop price little.
It's not fair anymore, PC games are not optimized good and their cards are more and more expensive.
People cross on consoles because optimization of PC games and price of hardware for free gaming.
They would earn more on Titan with 700$ price than 1000.
NVIDIA is real jerks, GTX480(400$)GTX580(500$),GTX680(600$),GTX780(700$),tITAN(1000$) GO TO HELL NVIDIA.
And with Titan selling just fine they really have no need to give these things away either.
1.) Prices keep going up. Unlike in the GTX 295 days, where the newest card was 500-600$ and the older card went down to 250-300$.. these days the older card remains at 500-600$ and the newer card goes up to 1,000$. WTF:wtf:
2.) The name. Seriously? Titan? Why? Every other card they've ever created has been numbered and now all of a sudden.. Titan? This goes hand-in-hand with my first point to say that nVidia is seriously high on their own farts right now.
But why they do this, I don't know.
It's not good today in this economic situation they give price over 700$ for non-reference single GPU card. That is abnormal behavior, no excuse for that.
Why? It is essentially an uncrippled CUDA card that otherwise would've costed 3k.
I can probably bet that the biggest part of the Titan volume sold by nvidia has been bought for compute.I don't think that Titan customers will feel scammed even after a GTX 780 release. I surely won't. Why?
Titan and the GTX 780 are essentially in a different position, while they may seem very similar they are hugely different.
6 GB VRAM really helps you to set up a high poly scene while rendering, I often go in excess of 4-5 GB when working with complex scenes.
I also happen to play games at a higher resolution than most people and I often see more than 3GB used and the additional horsepower Titan provides, even if 10-15%, is more than welcomed.
If nvidia released the GTX 780 and the Titan the same day I would still have bought Titan and I bet I'm not the only one.

And noooo-one (of use) knows how strong or many Titans have sold at the point. If Nvidia offered-up 10% in Titian units, that they’ve sold of GTX680’s, I'd be surprised.
So it's speculation to say it's a truly "viable" profit product for Nvidia, and may well been entered into the market for its marketing "justification" of the bins of geldings they absolutely need to divest of. If move (780's) at say something of just 20% of what has been GTX680 units sales, while getting 45-50% more for them... mission accomplished.
But for clarity these be my opinion! Mostly:).
