Unleashing the full force of the Kepler architecture.

bye bye titan nice knowing you!


power use and temps when overclocked?

uses more power than a R290.... and your own reviews shows an overclocked R290 is faster in 3dmark... so for £309 +£50 for an aftermarket cooler , you have a GTX780Ti beater

I imagine there'll be third-party cards with 6Gb turning up at some point.

Let's hope so.

Not the beast I imagined it would be....HardOCP says it's only a Silver when the R9 290 is Gold, and at £100 more or so than a 290X NV looks bad value for money at moment. Cooler is better, but I'm thinking that AMD could drop the price and make NV look really really bad if they wanted to.

yup. And this is as far as they can push the current architecture. Stick a custom cooler on both and get the noise and temps down and you'd have to favour the red team on this one. They seem to win on bang for buck. But let's see what the third parties produce. This Christmas is looking interesting.

I imagine an accelero cooled 290X could be clocked to a similar level as the 290, if not further, so I'm pretty sure doing the same trick to the 290X (which would end up costing about the same as a 780 Ti) would yield even better results

Wonder how many people who complained about power consumption on the 290X will also complain about the power consumption on the 780Ti...

Interesting but I'm not sold. Next week we get the mantle information and in a couple months the non-reference AMD cards (with some sites getting 10-20% more out of the 290/290X cards with bodged coolers) I'll keep hold of my money for the moment.

pricing up on scan - a gigabyte 290x and an accelero is still under £500

I'm almost enjoying watching the arms race between the two companies, and of course their fanbases

According to the editor over on HardOCP,Nvidia was pushing reviewers to talk about noise.

The Anandtech review is quite funny though. Considering this is a £550+ card,its not massively cooler running or massively less noisier than an R9 290X or R9 290 it seems. For the massive price difference it needs to be better IMHO.

The performance difference over R9 290 and GTX780 cards is tiny,and the GTX780TI seems just overpriced for what it is,and I expect the R9 290X will be price dropped anyway.

The GTX780TI is only a card for benchmarkers IMHO,when a pre-overclocked GTX780 does most of what it already does,especially the GTX780 GHZ Edition SKU.

[GoodZE]

GTX 780Ti is definitely NOT a R9-290X killer, its pretty simple the R9 is a lot cheaper, so if you spent some dosh and an aftermarket cooler and brought it up to the price of a 780Ti, you've got yourself an NVidia DESTROYER!

Props to NVidia for failing in style though

Most of us on here are quite unbiased. Follow the GPU threads back over the last few years and while some folk are entrenched, the majority here are willing to use their heads and go with what is genuinely the better card for the time. I usually lean towards the green, but there's no denying the 290 cards are beasting NVidia hard. And I welcome the competition. If only AMD could do the same to Intel on the high-end CPU front.

You can also see the websites who are reading from the Nvidia review sheet,when they consider a £550+ graphics card which is barely faster than ones under £400,good value. The R9 290 and the GTX780 make the R9 290X and GTX780TI massively overpriced.

It seems graphics card reviewing is fast becoming like game reviewing.

Edit!!

The £550 GTX780TI is 77% more expensive than a £310 R9 290 or 31% to 57% when compared to the aftermarket GTX780 and GTX780 GHZ Edition cards.

Outside of a benchmarker who the heck could consider this good value??

Websites getting a kickback from Nvidia??

At least the Geforce Titan had 6GB of VRAM and fully enabled DP performance which made it "cheap" for non-gamers compared to the Nvidia professional cards,as long as you were willing to put up with worse drivers.

Pretty much the first think I thought when I've just flicked through some reviews TBH. Of course, the whole power/noise thing will be a non-issue now.
