Reviews - Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti

I'm not that surprised, it's taken the performance crown, and as a result demands a premium that isn't in proportion to the extra performance.

Pretty sure this is always how it's been, and the price doesn't shock me that much either, look at the 8800 ultra when that first came out, I think that was a similar price.

Not always - 290X entered as (and still is for a lot of games) the fastest card on the market, but is cheaper than either of the top two (now three) Nvidia cards.

Quite worried by that power usage though, people moaned hard about AMDs 290x using a lot of power but I suspect they will treat Nvidia differently and praise it lol.

Now every NVidia fan will brag about how they have the most power hungry high-end card.

It seems RadeonPro will soon include a similar GPU-based screen recording feature which the author has been working on for a while - AMD cards have had the encoding hardware since the GCN release, it's just not had much software designed to utilise it yet. They've also had 'AMD Screen Mirror' and 'AMD Wireless Display' for a while now, but they're not very heavily marketed TBH - they're free to download if you have compatible hardware though.

Ah. Thank you. So, just need AMD to sort their CPU's out. Wonder if the new APU's will have all those goodies. They really should push all the info they can.

Yeah Trinity and Richland already have the Video Codec Engine, despite being based on VLIW4 rather than GCN.
