Wow, that is pretty close to Titan.

Be interesting to see some actual games.

[Phage]

It all depends on the pricing. If its also close to Titan, well, lets just say I won't be upgrading anytime soon.

[Biscuit]

will be interesting to see how Nvidia price these as the performance is so close to the Titan!

[darrensen]

Great specs, but i fear for the price.

I have a bad feeling we'll be looking at £600-£650

[Phage]

Yep.
Titan @ £800
780 @ £600
770/680 @ £400
Is my guess. Or....two 7950s at £420.

[darrensen]

Yep.
Titan @ £800
780 @ £600
770/680 @ £400
Is my guess. Or....two 7950s at £420.

7950 does look very appealing to me! What brand though?

[Phage]

MSI looks to be the cheapest at £199. Comes with Crysis 3 etc

The HIS IceQ has a very good reputation, but the Gigabyte Windforce has the best RMA/Customer service No easy choices !

[darrensen]

Yeah i was thinking Gigabyte, but they're out of stock.

I like the XFX, but i hear bad things about RMA's!

[Phage]

Aye. I don't think you can go too far wrong if you stick to any of the higher end brands.

[Biscuit]

Yep.
Titan @ £800
780 @ £600
770/680 @ £400
Is my guess. Or....two 7950s at £420.

Urgh... I suspect you're right but I hope AMD don't follow suit and instead fight to drag down the prices to a reasonable level.

[Phage]

I'd expect to see the 8970 (9970) @ £500. If so, it will dominate the market.

[Phage]

780 Price is CDN 850.00.

Or £544 + VAT = £653

Looks like we were about right. Won't be bothering !

[Biscuit]

Hmm not as an early adopter for sure! I wish people would stop buying the damn things and justifying these ludicrous price tags.
Given that the cards aren't bringing anything groundbreaking to the market its no big deal really, we have known this generation was going to be a bit of a cop out for a while. AMD is the one to keep an eye on once again though.

[Phage]

Aye - So long as they keep the prices down to a 'reasonable' level.
Mind you, I'm saving a fortune by not buying this stuff !

[Phage]

Another price from the US this time, and its better news.

USD 720 = £475.20 + VAT = £570 !
