It almost feels like we have been seeing the 600 series of cards from Nvidia for a few years now. At a year and two months we are a little past due to see a new generation of cards and today we can finally take the wraps off of NVidia’s latest card, the GTX 780. Rumors have been going around for a while on this launch so let’s just jump right into it and see what it’s all about and then how it performs. One thing is for sure, this will be the start of a lot of exciting cards, and 2013 is going to be a good year!
Nvidia’s GTX 780 Ti graphics card popped up unexpectedly by Nvidia’s normal standards of meticulous planning, very much in a similar way to the arrival of the GTX 650 Ti Boost. The GTX 780 Ti was announced around the buzz of AMD’s R9 290X graphics card release, as a direct response, much like the GTX 650 Ti Boost was released at short notice to fend off competition from the HD 7790. The GTX 780 Ti we have here today certainly isn’t a modest GPU by any stretch of the imagination with Nvidia boldly claiming the title of “the fastest GPU in the world”. Let’s be frank though, for a price of $699, compared to the $549 AMD charges for its R9 290X, you’d certainly hope that the GTX 780 Ti was the fastest GPU in the world because you are paying top dollar for it – 27% more by my calculations. Nvidia’s GTX 780 Ti is hoping to encapsulate all the latest cutting edge features and technologies from Nvidia including GPU Boost 2.0, G-Sync support, 4K capability, GeForce experience, the GameWorks program, Nvidia ShadowPlay and much more.
First let’s start off with the raw specifications and straight away we can see the GTX 780 Ti is set to be a stronger performer than the GTX Titan. It features more of everything with the entire GK110 GPU enabled – yes that’s right every single SMX unit on the GK110 die is enabled allowing for the maximum 2880 CUDA cores giving the GTX 780 Ti some crazy performance potential. It also boasts higher clocks than the GTX Titan and so we can expect to see it be a much stronger performer than the GTX Titan, the only reason you’d buy a GTX Titan now is because it is the only consumer grade graphics card that comes with 6GB of VRAM as standard – that said you can pick up 6GB versions of AMD’s HD 7970/ R9 280X (like Sapphire’s Toxic variant) but of course the HD 7970 has nowhere near the power of the GTX Titan or the GTX 780 Ti. Looking back at speculation we saw earlier this year the GTX 780 Ti is essentially the GTX Titan Ultra that everyone was expecting to see.
When Nvidia launched the GTX 780 it was an extremely impressive card, and frankly it still is. Even so AMD did come out swinging with the new R9 290X and to counter that Nvidia lowered the pricing of the GTX 780 and GTX 770. Now to go along with that they are filling in the price gap they created with the lower prices with a new product, the GTX 780 Ti. Today I have the chance to check out the GTX 780 Ti and see what it is all about. I expected the GTX 780 Ti to just be a higher clocked GTX 780, but I was pleasantly surprised, read on to find out what’s different.
The GTX 780 Ti, according to NVIDIA, is the fastest GPU in the world and is yet designed to do much more than win benchmarks. For instance the gaming enthusiast wants more from their games including higher resolution, better performance and quiet operation.
Le mois de juin risque d’être une période charnière dans le petit monde des GPUs, AMD devrait introniser une nouvelle norme de mémoire, HBM, que certains décrivent comme révolutionnaire, et tout le monde imaginait que Nvidia préparait une réponse à cette attaque de son meilleur ennemi. Détrompez-vous, Nvidia n’a pas souhaité attendre et a préféré prendre les devants dans cette future bataille qui s’annonce colossale. Pour s’armer, quoi de mieux que d’adjoindre le fameux Ti à cette nouvelle carte ? Voici donc la GTX 980 Ti, qui reprend beaucoup d’éléments aperçus dans la fameuse Titan X, tout en promettant d’être plus accessible. Maxwell revient donc pour un tour de piste et le but avoué est d’aboutir à la meilleure carte gamer possible chez Nvidia. La question est simple : cette GTX 980 Ti est-elle la carte ultime autour de l’architecture Maxwell et la Bataille de Juin s’annonce-t-elle splendide ?
You might be wondering what I’m doing posting on a Sunday night but with Computex starting in Taiwan there are a ton of things getting announced or about to get announced. You see a lot of people think that CES is the big event each year for PC hardware but CES is really for consumer electronics where Computex has more of a focus on PC hardware. So with that Nvidia has stepped up and is introducing their GTX 980 Ti. While the launch is exciting, it is a little surprising to see them launch now, before AMD launches their 300 Series cards. Typically companies leave an ace in the hole so Nvidia must be really confident that AMD doesn’t have what it takes to outperform the GTX 980 Ti. While we won’t know that until AMD launches their cards, what we can do today is run the GTX 980 Ti through our benchmark suite and see just how it compares to what is available today.
Pricing a graphics card is a fine art. Too low and you lose profit. Too high and you wind up with a warehouse full of kit no guru wants. So what price has nVidia chosen for the GTX465? KitGuru investigates.
As you know, KitGuru has big love for the inventor of the original 3D card and all they have done for the world. However, nVidia is about to engage in a real ‘take your balls in your hands’ exercise as it phases out the GTX460 in favour of the brand new GTX560. KitGuru look at the nature of the risk and reveals some more details in the process.
AMD have been taking all the headlines in the last month, releasing a slew of graphics cards – including the class leading (but noisy) R9 290 and R9 290X. The R9 290X managed to take the performance crown from Nvidia’s GTX 780 and GTX Titan in the ultra high end at both 1600p and Ultra HD 4K resolutions. Nvidia have been hard at work behind the scenes however and today they release their new GTX780 Ti. The big question we need to answer … is it enough to push the formidable R9 290X into second place?
Wie wir in Erfahrung bringen konnten, setzt nVidia bei der Kepler-Architektur anscheinend nicht mehr auf das mit dem G80-Chip eingeführte Prinzip der Hotclocks, wo also die Shader-Einheiten mit dem doppelten Chiptakt laufen. Dies macht es wahrscheinlich, daß nVidia bei der Kepler-Architektur mit deutlich mehr Shader-Einheiten ankommt als bisher erwartet worden war.
Speziell für den GK104 Performance-Chip gilt, daß es damit drei vorliegende seriöse Informationen zu diesem gibt:
- keine Hotclocks mehr
- Taktziel klar über 1 GHz
- Rechenleistung weit über 2 TFlops
Davon ausgehend kann man gut und gerne darüber spekulieren, daß der GK104 demzufolge rund 1000 Shader-Einheiten tragen müsste - damit wären die genannten 2 TFlops Rechenleistung jedenfalls erreichbar. Der HighEnd-Chip GK100 sollte basierend auf dieser Prognose dann sogar rund 1500 Shader-Einheiten besitzen. Sicher ist dies natürlich zum derzeitigen Stand noch lange nicht.
