At a glance you would think they were Titans!

[darrensen]

Take my money!

[dangel]

Well there's a generation to skip as expected..

I'll wait for the 8xx series I think.

[Willzzz]

Or the new 20nm AMD series coming out later this year.

Why do you say that ? Not that I disagree particulalrly...

[Willzzz]

I think he just means for himself personally.

For people like darrensen who have already skipped a generation it makes sense.

[scaryjim]

Why do you say that ?

Presumably because it's rebadges and respins of existing cards? GTX760 Ti == GTX670, GTX770 == GTX680, GTX780 is the only "new" card there and it's just a cut down Titan, and the Titan wasn't earth-shattering. GTX780 will depend on the pricing, but probably not a worthy upgrade for anyone with a GTX680, and maybe not even a GTX670. Certainly nothing to tempt someone with SLI GTX670 FTWs

[dangel]

Yes to pretty much all of that - a re-badged generation rather than something new. I agree, the Titan didn't impress me either. It's pretty usual for me to skip at least one generation anyway and i still haven't overclocked the cards I have now (have water so plenty of headroom). I'm not nvidia centric either - i'd go AMD if it made sense.

The 8xx series will be a new architecture (smaller process too?) and, as such, will probably be the big jump in performance i'd like from an upgrade. I went SLI specifically because the 680 wasn't a big enough jump from my 580 and with 670s because the 680 wasn't worth the extra money from the 670 (not to mention the FTWs share the same PCB as the 680..).

And that's all before we get to the actual games pushing the hardware hard enough to drop below my sacred 60fps with all the eye candy on.

[shaithis]

The 780 might be worth it depending on pricing but if their value can be judged by the last few cards nVidia have released, they will be a rip-off.

[Willzzz]

Or to put it another way, "I wish I was rich".

[jigger]

Seems to be big gaps in the specs and pricing structure so I'm still hopfull the leak is BS and we will see Titan beating performance from a £300 card.

[Willzzz]

LOL?

You'll get 680 beating performance from a £300 card, but nothing more.

[chris_summers1994]

how are these cards supposed to compare to the titan?

[DanceswithUnix]

Still on my 460 here.
The 500 series was a fixed version of the 400, so I don't consider that a skip.
600 was interesting, but I am ok for now so skipped that one.
If 700 is the same as 600, then again that isn't a skip.

So I expect I will also be going for 800 series next, and from my 460 I feel I am only skipping one generation (6xx). That isn't good is it.

[Willzzz]

I just wait until I'm not happy with performance and then upgrade to the current generation, unless of course the next gen is just around the corner..
