GeForce GTX 780 Ti Pictured in the Flesh
Shortly after its specifications sheet leak, pictures of a reference GeForce GTX 780 Ti (which aren't renders or press-shots) surfaced on ChipHell Forums. The pictures reveal a board design that's practically identical to the GTX TITAN and GTX 780, with the "GTX 780 Ti" marking on the cooler. The folks over at ChipHell Forums also posted five sets of benchmark results, covering various 3DMark tests, Unigine Valley, Aliens vs. Predator 3, Battlefield 3, and Bioshock: Infinite, on a test-bed running Core i7-4960X at 4.50 GHz, and 16 GB of quad-channel DDR3-2933 MHz memory. Given its specifications, it comes as no surprise that the GTX 780 Ti beats both the GTX TITAN, and R9 290X, and goes on to offer performance that's on par with dual-GPU cards such as the GTX 690, and HD 7990. For a single-GPU card, that's a great feat.The benchmark results from ChipHell's run follow.

I see this being mostly a driver war... again, which is great, we didn't have drivers that squeezed the living daylight (in terms of performance) before that generation (at least, in the limited way high-level APIs can allow it).
It's fair to think that AMD might release a newer stepping of Hawaii Pro/XT (Pro-H2/XT2? Ha...) with better yields and maybe higher stock clocks (for one thing tho, the memory could be a lot higher clocked).
R9 290X w/ increased efficiency and 1075MHz reference boost clock & 8GB of 6500MHz GDDR5s please...
BTW, anyone know if Hawaii XT is full Hawaii chip? 3072 ALUs / 192 TMUs sounds like way better numbers... Maybe only for the Pro market. :(
All in all, performance is on the way up and prices on the way down, and the (GP)GPU landscape isn't boring anymore, for the moment.
Shitty card which tackle 650$ even 1000$ card
Yes sir. It's a shitty card indeed.. driver blah blah classy...
Are you mad bro? :roll:
Faster performance at higher power (noise usually goes hand in hand with power so don't get your hopes up) and at higher price while AMD offered higher performance at lower price :rolleyes:
Next thing you know you'll also say that the higher power consumption is a plus also :laugh:
Driver point is moot since both sides have it's fair share of problems.
It's just funny to see how very few mention the power consumption now like they did when the 290x was tested. I personally don't care but it's funny to read.
when any company unleashe any GPU faster and powerfull think about
power consumption and noise and heats
i dont think come soon any 20 nm gpu
waiting for any more benchs you see GTX 780 Ti beats all AMD GPUS single and duals
Cheaper no. Faster yes.
NVidia already confirmed 699 price for the 780ti ($150 more then the r290x). It also probably wont beat Dual GPU cards, but if it even gets near one it'll be right around 690 performance.
Nice cherry picking. Even nicer incoherent rant.
Kirk Lazarus doesn't approve.
W1zzard tested the GTX 690 at 274W Peak and the R9 290X at 282W peak. Yet somehow the 780Ti in these charts consumes 75W more than either of those. That would make it a 375W card, which it couldn't be since it only has a 300W power design (6+8pin PCIe connectors).
I'm not expecting the 780Ti to use less power than either of the aforementioned cards, but it cannot be more than 15-20W above those while still remaining in spec. These power consumption numbers can't be correct for the benchmarks.
The only way I could possibly see those numbers make sense is if they were taken from Furmark or OCCT. AMD clamps down on power much harder than NVidia in those power viruses so the results are really unrepresentative of the normal power consumption of the card.
Apparently they have official specs of the card. Another interesting thing is:
This so called leak is fake. If it was real, am sure its being shown in its best case scenario (Power included)
I share your skepticism, but unlike you I don't think in any way this is the best case power consumption scenario for the 780Ti; In fact, I would argue that this is much worse than the worst case. It looks like the tester tried to overclock a reference board to get better performance results but also is drawing vastly more power because of it. I would expect actual 780Ti performance to be slightly less than these results but board power to be significantly less.
...Then release a card for $200 over all other GPU's and it's a bargain!!
Cunning moves!
Where's the uber mode chart?
