Inb4 massive Titan price cuts, Nvidia unleashes GTX Titan Ultra with unlocked core voltage control, and I buy one.

... I wish :-/

titans definately dropped price. cant wait to see the price of these two competing cards when I actually purchase in December!

Looks like a refresh of the 7970 Gigahertz edition. It will be interesting to see what it does when it comes out.

didnt it come out 23rd? I am glad it will have a chance to be out and field tested a couple months before I make my final decision!

Paper launch=good luck finding it in a store.

ahh word. should be some on the shelves around xmas, before or after, depending on when we make it home. Im super stoked! I am going to pick your brain again six about water cooling when I get ready to build.

Word is there will be some on the shelves next month.

I'm sure you can get one cheaper/sooner if you pay 30% over retail xD ...

$599 ?

 

[HeatSurge]

They didn't announce the fucking price, wtf -_- . At least there was interesting stuff, mantle namely.

Expect single-GPU performance to beat 780 and perhaps titan if overclocked.

 

[death-head-666]

It does beat the titan 90% of the time. till they crank up the titan a bit.

Plus....


250 = 7750
260x = 7790 (Obvious from the fact that it supports true audio)
270x = 7870
280x = 7970

 

[Soulzz]

Nice!

Looking to get this card when it releases. Do you guys think my 1055T and 890FX Board will bottleneck this thing?
