Features - QOTW: Will you be buying a GeForce GTX 780?

[hiyayhi]

Nope, My HD6990 is holding out nicely.

[deejayburnout]

would love the card but not willing to pay that much for it. too powerful for my needs anyway.

[Zeven]

I am quite happy with my GTX 570 on my 1440p monitor. I am not playing the latest games, though.

[kautya]

too expensive.Will stick with the 670 for now, seems to be doing its job fine.

[petrucius]

Nope. The top performance cards are always a bad choice in the price/performance ratio. But the lower model is a whole different story...

[CK_1985]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh you weren't kidding? Then no, no I won't. I was planning to buy, you know, food and stuff instead.

[GravitySmacked]

Bought one and have it installed; great card but very pricey.

[roki977]

God no. 650$ in my country is almost monthly salary. That GPU with such high prices is for Americans and their big market and as long as the are buying it, price will be so high and they will in record numbers bcs. they have to much money. Only AMD can make a difference.

btw my gtx 670 dc top is eating 1080p for dinner. gtx 780 is overkill for that resolution.

[Andi-C]

No, can't afford it and my HD7970 runs most games on my 1440p monitor fine ! I here the AMD up and coming drivers are one to watch out for !

[bloodfx]

Nvidia's pricing is constantly rising and now its just to much.

[george1979]

Nope. Too expensive, stilll doesn't outperform my 570 in CUDA apps and I game at 1080p so there isn't a reason to upgrade at the moment.
If Adobe pull their finger out and allow AMD graphics processing for Premiere Pro, After Effects etc then my next card will definitely be from the red team.

I have owned 50+ G cards, from both nvidia and ATI/AMD and multiples of various models, current pricing strategy from nvidia is nothing short of robbery, I just don't buy new anymore, and made a point of not even considering their 6xx series cards new or used. What would be really useful from Hexus would for you to do a break down of the actual cost of these cards and lets see if I am correct or wrong as far as robbery is concerned.

I currently run the sapphire 7850 2gb as in above pic, a great little cool/quiet and powerful card @£110, I run it on BenQ EW2430/Panasonic TX-L42E5B 1920x1080 for my usage it is superb, luckily I just don't need the 6xx or the 7xx series cards, even if I did, I still would not buy them, purely on principal at this current time.

cheers

[Ferral]

Won't be buying one, can't afford it and I don't think I would be able to jury rig it up to my C64, Speccy or Amiga!!!!

Also still running a trusty MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr 3 which is factory overclocked and everything I play is maxxed out 1080p which is ideal, so couldn't really justify it.

Mind you wouldn't mind winning one, now whats that on the homepage for HEXUS

[ajax2061]

if i win the lottery or win a certain compo lol thats about the only way i can afford this, my other half wouldn’t let me spend this much. Bring back the days of top of range cards costing about 300 quid, price them cheaper and your sell more = more profit ?

I mentioned this in another post, but it's more important here...

USA retailers are selling the reference card for $649.99, they are only charging an extra $10 for the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX!

Here in the UK, the cheapest reference card is £549.99, and UK retailers are charging £80+ more for the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX!

It's absolutely disgusting that retailers can get away with this here in the UK, I wonder what the Office of Fair Trading would have to say about this anti-competitiveness?

Buying direct from EVGA and it's an extra 20 euro over the standard cards.
