Nvidia GTX780Ti Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4K)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell November 7, 2013 Graphics, Highlights-new

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 2560×1600.

This engine has always been favourable to AMD hardware and drivers and we were surprised to see the Nvidia GTX780 Ti claim top spot, above the latest AMD R9 290X.

Yeah this is awesome – well impressed myself, but the price is painful. Ah well – plenty of GTX780 non TI bargains right now for close to £400.

They do make good reference coolers – ive read on forums that people say they suck, but I still have a reference GTX780 from ages ago and I had hardly hear it in my case. this is just mega, but ill have to pass until January. Christmas coming up, need to buy presents!

Well this came out of nowhere, I didnt know Nvidia were making so many changes to the shaders/TMUs etc. I think this has to be the limit of this generation of hardware, but its phenomenal. next year I think Nvidia will get Ultra HD 4k smooth at 60fps in most titles at high IQ. next gen.

Or two 780 Ti’s!

I think the R9 290 is the besdt value for money card right now by a long shot. But, and its a big but – I dont want the reference cooler.

I have posted on many forums, such as Sapphire’s asking for release dates of toxic editions etc, but no one is answering. GTX780 Ti is too much money, even though it is clearly the new leader. I want the R9 290 but without the shitty cooling system 🙁 a lot of people are waiting AMD so get your finger out.
