It's not like the GK110 is anything but a refresh either. Much like the 480 and 580. Actually almost identical to the 480 and 580 when you get down to it.

Yeah but the GK110, if all this is just 75% real, is a huge jump from the GTX680 GK104. In fact, Nvidia never released the GK100 ... Remind me the GF100 failure with the uber power usage and heat. nvidia skipped on the GK100 release and waited to make sure the 28nm GPU was mature enough to hit the shelf.
 
How huge really depends on clocks. The 480 to 580 jump was ~23% (half from higher clocks, half from more cores), that's one of the higher same-process same-architecture jumps out there. It maintained the same price point, too.

If the clocks stay the same from GK104 to GK110 we're looking at 75% more performance per clock (if the K20X is a full GK110 die, anyway) absolute maximum, more likely less due to overhead. I seriously doubt the clocks will stay the same, given the Tesla cards TDP and clock speeds. The K20X has 2688 shaders at 732MHz and 235w TDP. Given the reaction of the small process sizes to higher voltage and clocks, I don't see the clock speed getting all that much higher even if the TDP is would up to 250-260w, especially given that the Tesla cards a low leakage bins.
If it stays at that clock speed, we're looking at 74.4% more shaders running 37% slower. (Or if you prefer looking at it the other way around, at 72% the speed)
Faster? Yes. OMGOMGOMGOMG faster? Not really. Probably about 25%, if it's run at the 732MHz base with similar boosting to the 680.

They did exactly the same thing with the 480 and 580, the 480 was a cut down die, the full die went into GPGPU boards for a while until they had a large enough pile to put them in consumer cards.
 
your 100% right but the "780" will also feature a much better memory buss-amount VS the 680. The 480 and the 580 have the same memory buss-amount.

The HD8xxx series wont be that much more powerfull than the 7xxx. HD8000 series are a refresh, not a new gen :( I didnt read anywhere anything about a big performance gain from the HD8000 series :(


real nextgen AMD and Nvidia cards are for the end of 2013.

HD8000 OEM is a refresh. HD8000 retail is a new gen.
 
Another great post by SKYMTL at XS.

However, from experience, I can tell you that NEITHER AMD nor NVIDIA typically send NDA products out more than two weeks before launch. 1 week is usually the norm. That goes doubly for ultra high end products like the GTX 690.

This allows companies to properly control information from the sites which typically leak like a sieve.

Some other things that should be mentioned.

- Many sites (including that Tom's article) continually repeat the BS which WCCF posted. The 3DMark screenshot has been proven fake time and again yet certain publications refuse to check their information before posting.

- The so-called "pictures" of Titan are obviously Tesla parts and don't belong under the GeForce brand. Again, sites are propagating misleading information in an effort to boost their pageviews.

Will this do anything else except improve tri-monitor performance?

I almost feel like high clock speeds are here to stay. They'll probably find a way to get these 780s to ship in the 800-900mhz range.

Then again, they want to continue making sure tesla is appealing to its customer base. Meh.
 
Dude, you run a tri monitor setup with a single 670... you need another or a 680 or 7970... :rofl:

I currently play BF3 most of the time. Running at ULTRA no MSAA @ 50-60fps. not bad for a single card ;)

I'm waiting for a better performing single card, wich the 680 isnt really ... you're still capped with the 256bit memory bus. I dont really like AMD CCC and Eyefinity. I'm not a 100% Nvidia Fanboy but when it comes to surround/eyefinity ... i prefer Nvidia drivers.

Edit : Its been more than 2 years that i run surround/eyefinity setup. I think that i know what it need and what it is to run this kinda setup.

Just thinking about history, how many cards come out showing an awesome 3dmark score to only perform like pure crap in games...
Not many(any)? I cant think of one since 2004 when I started benchmarking and gaming on PC's :shrug:. Of course that doesnt mean there werent any, however, it feels like you are alluding to this be a common thing, and I disagree with that sentiment. ;)

Its never a direct comparison but its plenty 'good enough' to judge, especially since 3DMark Vantage and forward. Its not like it scores high in 3d11 and then cant play modern games at full tilt at 1080p. :thup:

How are they going to release this? 780>770>760>790>750>760ti? I don't know if I want to wait. I might buy a 660ti to replace my first gen 460 for ffxiv 2.0 since the 700 series will be incredibly expensive during its early release.
 
I wouldnt hold your breath personally...its all rumors so far.

Typically the top tier comes out first then the rest fill in. Get what you need to now.
 

I'm also curious. I've seen cards not perform AS WELL as they SHOULD in regards to their score, but never "pure crap" as quoted.

Especially if the scores end up really coming in at this "holy flippin' hell" level :shock:
 
WCCFtech are starting rumor again ...

Claimed as pics of a geforce titan "780"

I know i already saw this before ....

Random pics of a GTX285

To me... it looks VERY similar !
 
it does looks similar, although capacitors are different and it has an 8-pin+6-pin
 
Not all 285 have same capacitor layout. They arnt identical but these new shot from WCCFtech looks like junk to me ... as it was with the 2 tesla they posted. But in the end, the 2 tesla they posted was at least some GK110 core cards ;)
