NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2 GB

[Fluffmeister]

This part was well played... while that price astonishing! That said, what are they going to do with all GTX680 that are still priced the same today as they had yesterday. Are they hoping folks think GTX 680’s are a higher-up on the model matrix so it reasons they offer still more performance?

Who knows, presumably a large price drop is looming.

hmmm usually at least some companies use the reference design

Inno3D's Titan cooler'ed card is up for pre-order here at least, no reason why they won't have plenty in stock eventually.

This is an more of an evolution for Keplar not new engineering guys. Looks like the 770 is the competition for the 7970 now...

what are you talking about, looking at the reviews, the 770 absolutely destroys 7970

Is that sarcasm? I cant tell, i sure hope it was.

I lolled.

Not expecting W1zz to care much, but personally, for the upcoming reviews I would love to see at least some GPGPU benches. Even if they are quite basic.
Cheers!

Still lacks in that department.

You can find some here and here

 

[blibba]

Because there are no relevant GPGPU apps. If you want to discuss that, make a new thread.

A few programs take advantage of OpenCL now, at least.

But even if that doesn't matter to you, TPU owes some of its large loyal following to the folding and crunching communities - perhaps covering capabilities in that area would be worth your while?

guess ill write this again in case you missed it.

most fanboys seem to forget about fan noise and power consumption, absolute performance is not everything, GTX770 consumes way less power than 7970ge (8w idle vs 46w, max 214w vs 273w), WAY LESS NOISE (36dba load vs 51dba, note that 51dba is several times louder than 36dba) and yet is about 5-10% faster(15% faster than 7970). the 7970ge sounds like a freaking jet engine on take off, I would never ever buy a vacuum cleaner of a graphics card, I like mine quiet, which is why I will always buy from team green. when you factor in power consumption, noise and temperature etc, NVidia is way ahead of AMD, IMO AMD couldn't beat NVidia so they had to overclock their cards like crazy and ended up sacrificing temperature and noise as a result, its sort of like the same fight AMD is in with Intel, couldn't beat them technologically, so they had to brute force it.

Stock cooler doesnt look to be worth it. I'd spend the $20 extra to avoid that if i was looking to buy one.

 

[Fluffmeister]

The point is the stock cooler is pretty, but yes there are plenty of nice alternatives available.

Exactly my reasons of wanting GPGPU benchmarks.
Because, man, I did hear that "gaymer" keplers downright suck at this field.

usually it's EVGA but now they have ACX thing going on.

and AMD sucks at everything else, what's your point? less than 1% of people use their gaming cards for compute tasks. if you wanted to fold, go buy a tesla.

 

[erocker]

new Boost 2.0 algorithm

So, have you tried flashing a GTX 680 with this 770 bios? Can this even happen?

if I wanted to fold id buy a cheap gtx480. Rather than spending nearly 2k on a card for doing a task that yields me no return. Or get an AMD card that is good in both areas.

wow I am so smart and fail to realize tesla costs at least TEN times as much for the same GPU. With most of the price being in the support package Nvidia obliges to provide. And is would definitely not be completely smoked by a couple of AMD gpus costing a fraction of that.
(along with the fact I haven't seen a single distributor for my general area (the Baltics) to stock any amount of teslas at any time. Yes. I checked.)

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Anyone else think it's stupid to have a $250 gap between the 770 and 780?

 

[erocker]

Blanket statements such as this won't win you any common sense awards. I suggest you tone down a bit. Every post I've seen from you today has been hostile, argumentative and sometimes insulting in nature.

Consider this your warning from me.

 

[theonedub]

Really the one benefit of the Titan is Tesla like compute at half the price. For the people who depend on compute, the Titan was a bargain in terms of price.

770TI will fill that gap.

^This.

Nvidia didnt do itself any favors with Kepler GK104 in that regard with the GTX 580 being better then the GTX 680 in that regard minis some specified updated CUDA apps.

It went from Fermi GF110 being a great all around performer, minus the heat and power.

to Kepler GK104 being a pure gaming card with good heat and power

Almost 3yrs later and Fermi is still looking strong if you bought one for an all around card not just gaming specific.

The Quadro K6000 still hasnt been released. I expect some sort of GeForce variant of it to maybe come in there.

 

[librin.so.1]

770TI will fill that gap.

Oh, God! Please, let that be only a [very twisted] fantasy!
BTW for a long time now I see Nvidia's card naming as BS. Example - there are five [!] variations of the GF GTX 560. Whenever someone who's not an expert refers to one, they almost never know which one they have in mind. BLARG.

what are you talking about, looking at the reviews, the 770 absolutely destroys 7970

So now this 770 can trade blows more often, while using 12% less power? Quieter, perhaps but how many reference vs. reference cooling are we actually seeing for either brand in the market? So that’s not really a worthwhile point of contention. It wasn’t "trashed", more just one-up-man-ship. Their inacting a price drop is the most attractive thing; although, the 770’s at Newegg are holding $400-410 mostly, remember the GTX680 was a $500 release MSRP but even today many are still well above $500. Consider there's a 770 MSI Lightning running $450, even a "Top Shelf" Sapphire VaporX 7979Ghz 6Gb with Boost clocks:1050/1100MHz is $450. Things aren't that dire.

Might AMD will have some "tuning" in the coming weeks on price perhaps. I see the bigger problem on Nvidia, and how they treat the older 6XX stuff and helping retailers divest of stock with basically kickbacks and what not because huge rebate won’t be enough.

770TI will fill that gap.

I vote GTX780 SE

 

[PopcornMachine]

Thanks for the review of the rebrand new card.

 

[Crap Daddy]

770TI will fill that gap.

Another GK110 salvage part? Don't think so. Though the price difference might suggest otherwise there's really only 15% between the 780 and the 770. Same difference between the 580 and the 570 but they were built on the same highend chip and were just 150$ apart. I miss those times.

I would easily shell out extra $50 for a quieter, cooler running card, and the extra performance gain is just the sugar on top.
