NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

VSync only reduces microstutter if you don't fall below the synced framerate. And even if you stay above, it's not always smooth.

For saving 500 euros

500 € is a huge amount of money given how many people either work one whole month for it, or work many more months to afford it. So, yes, it is the most reasonable and right decision

The two most reputable sites on the net, fudzilla and brightsideofnews, are reporting that the 700 series launch is coming at the end of May, with a cut-down GK110 being the gtx780, and a slightly tweaked gk104 being gtx770.

Geforce GTX 780, 770 coming in May

It looks like Nvidia's 700 series refresh is coming very soon.

Nvidia is about to launch desktop Geforce GTX 700 series cards and this time the launch starts from the top down. The GTX 780 is set to replace the GTX 680 and the new card is based on the GK110 chip that we all know from Titan cards.

The chip is actually slower than Titan and is internally called Titan LE, which means that GTX 780 should end up slower than Titan cards. Our sources claim that the card should end up about 30 present faster than the GTX 680 and the launch date is expected by the end of May. This means the card comes very close to Computex, the biggest computer trade show in Asia that kicks off on June 4th.


The runner up is continuing the naming tradition and is simply named Geforce GTX 770. It is based on a new GK104 – 425 improved 28nm core. The current GTX 680 has the GK104-400-A2 core, and the 425 implies some slight optimisation and changes.


The GTX 770 stays loyal to the Kepler architecture and just like with the GTX 680, we can expect one cluster less compared to GTX 670. Performance wise the card should be between 20 and 25 percept faster than the GTX 670. The launch is expected in mid May.

First and foremost, few weeks back, several websites leaked the news about a part called GeForce GTX Titan LE, a board based on cut down GK110 GPU silicon. The leak was right, since this will actually be a consumer version of Tesla K20C, the 2496-core part with 5GB of GDDR5 memory. The name will not be the GTX Titan LE, though. Meet the GeForce GTX 780 5GB. Just as the GTX Titan was a consumer version of the K20X (2688-core part, 6GB GDDR5 memory), K20A/C is getting a consumer version as well. The performance is about 30% faster than a single GTX 680. You can expect this board to launch (hard launch, availability from Day 0) in the final days of May, as the Computex train starts to heat up. Pricing unknown, but you should prices anywhere between $499 and $599.

Second board will be the GeForce GTX 770. This is actually based off a GK104-425 die e.g. nothing more than a higher clocked GTX 680. Estimated performance is 20-25% better than GTX 670, on pair with the regular GTX 680. This is still a 256-bit interface part, with 4GB GDDR5 memory to be more prominently featured than a 2GB one. Nvidia's product stack calls for 6GB Titan, 5GB GTX 780, 4GB GTX 770 and 2GB GTX 760 Ti. Launch is allegedly scheduled for mid-May, as a precursor to the GTX 780.

Which brings us to the third product, the GeForce GTX 760 Titanium. GTX 760 Ti, sorry. This part is based on the same die as GTX 670; GK104-225. The board comes with 2GB GDDR5 memory and will do everything to put pressure on AMD's HD 7800 and 8800 line of OEM cards. Performance is targeting 20-23% increase from the standard GTX 660 Ti, and this is the part that will launch at the 2013 Computex Taipei trade show.

And rumors have the Titan Ultra coming at the end of the year.

7.5% performance delta between 670 and 680

I wonder where AMD will be in mid June...

Not even that…

Higher clocked GTX 680 = regular GTX 680?

On a serious note, I wonder if the GTX 770 = "higher clocked GTX 680" will have both higher core and memory clocks or just higher core clocks.

All the smilely faces you post won't change the fact that you seem to purposely ignore the highlighted quote that the GTX 770 is based on a new GK104 – 425 improved 28nm core.

Huum, improved 28nm process... This should allow them to clock it a bit higher for "equal TDP ", and if they bring something like 25W more, even a lot higher.
This + the memory gain on high res should effectively close a 20% perf gain.. ( huum not all sites seems agree on the 104-425 stuff ( now i have a doubt too, is the actual are 104-400 ? )

The problem is just the way have Fudzilla write it who make think it is a new cores.

 

[pjbliverpool]

So I assume we are going to see 320 bit bus on the 780. I wonder if thats going to use 2 or 4Gb chips? If 4Gb which is what my moneys on then it opens the possibility of high end 10GB options lol. Having said that the comment about 2GB versions of the 770 being available indicates 2Gb chips are definately still be used for that variant.

 

[lanek]

I ask me if they will drop Titan price.. 600>999$ is really a large gap. 400$ ... or they have cut something else, on DP maybe ?

 

[AlphaWolf]

Doubt it. Titan is a mindshare product. The people who want it will pay whatever. I don't think there's a lot who would buy in if it were only $100 cheaper.

Nice sarcasm LOL

Report: Nvidia 700-Series to Release in May; More Specs

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-700-Kepler,22204.html

What was previously rumored to be the GTX Titan LE appears to actually be the GTX 780, which will likely be based on a cut-down GK110 part. As such, it will feature 2,496 CUDA cores, 208 Texture Mapping Units, 40 Render Output Units, and 5 GB of GDDR5 memory that will run over a 320-bit memory interface.

Moving on, the GTX 770 will be based on the older GK104 part, essentially being a higher clocked GTX 680 with double the graphics memory slapped onto the PCB for a total of 4 GB. The GTX 760 Ti would likely be almost identical to the GTX 670, with perhaps slightly different clock speeds.

MSRP pricing for the GTX 780 is said to be between $499 and $599, the GTX 770 $399, and the GTX 760 Ti $299. While all of these details remain unconfirmed, it would be great if they are true.

 

[jimbo75]

Somebody remind me what the rumoured wishful-thinking prices of the 680, 660 Ti and Titan were, and what they ended up at on release.

Someone remind this guy of what the performance expectations forum users had of gk104 were when Tahiti came out.

So the GTX 770 - a card faster than the 680 and with double VRAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ption=680 gtx&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20 will be $60 cheaper?

I really don't think so. The other two are just as laughable.

What is laughable is that you ignore the fact that when the GTX 680 was released the price of the GTX 580 dropped. The same will happen to the GTX 680 when the GTX 780/770 are released.

 

[Blazkowicz]

Doubt it. Titan is a mindshare product. The people who want it will pay whatever. I don't think there's a lot who would buy in if it were only $100 cheaper.

They can even milk some people who will find it's an amazing deal next to buying a gk110 Quadro or Tesla.

Why the hell not? Its a next generation gpu (same underlying technology not withstanding) released a year later. Of course its going to have a better price/performance ratio, thats how its always been. Was the 670 both faster and cheaper than the 580 was 6 months before it launched? As for sporting twice the memory, theres a good chance it will sport the exact same memory configuration just with memory chips twice as dense which may not end up costing all that more.

Titan begs to differ.

But I hope this information is correct, I could use a new graphics card.
