NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 780 Graphics Card
NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX 780, the first addition to its desktop GeForce GTX 700 series. Pictured below, the card is as close as it gets to owning a GeForce GTX TITAN, at two-thirds the price. It's based on the same 28 nm GK110 chip, but configured with 2,304 CUDA cores and 192 TMUs, compared to the 2,688 cores and 224 TMUs of the GTX TITAN. The card retains the 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, but holds 3 GB of memory. In that sense, all its key faculties are an exact 50 percent increase over is predecessor, the GeForce GTX 680.
NVIDIA completely recycled the design of GeForce GTX TITAN, down to the PCB and cooler. The only way you can make the two cards out is the lack of memory chips on the GTX 780's back. The card features GPU Boost 2.0, a technology that debuted with the GTX TITAN, boosts clocks and voltage, taking temperatures into account. The GPU core is clocked at 863 MHz, GPU Boost at 900 MHz, and memory at 6.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective). NVIDIA is allowing its partners to launch products with custom design air cooling solutions. Prices should start at $649.99.

And so the great shitstorm begins!
Yeah, no.
The GTX 680 was the "$300" card you must be thinking of. This is the standard model cut down version of the $650 Titan (sold at $1000).
id rather get a squeeze on three 7950s lol
good luck with ya purchases guys, looking forward to seeing conversations about the new line up!
I've put my order in and Ill just make up the difference in OC myself.
I know in the review Wizzard said the card came with Metro Last Light, but newegg doesn't say if it does or not.
Meh current gen is rubbish, bring on 20nm.
