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

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

Total War ROME 2 is the eighth stand alone game in the Total War series, it is the successor to the successful Rome: Total War title. The Warscape Engine powers the visuals of the game and the new unit cameras will allow players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time. Creative Assembly has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and officers inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy city. This will be realised using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.

We test at 4K – 3840×2160 with the Very High Preset selected, as shown in the screenshots above.

While all of these results are quite close, the GTX780 Ti and the R9 290X in Uber Mode maintain the highest minimum frame rates, just above the 25fps borderline.

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.
