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

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

The reference Nvidia GTX780Ti ships with the traditional Nvidia ‘industrial' silver and black cooler. I have a fondness for Nvidia reference designs as they have proved to be relatively quiet in the past and technically much better than the AMD reference designs. This card is a dual slot design, measuring 10.5 inches long. The Geforce GTX logo is backlit in green, identical to the GTX 780 and GTX Titan reference cards.

The card is built around a black PCB.

The GTX780 Ti demands power from a single 6 pin and a single 8 pin power connector, shown above.

The GTX780 Ti is SLi capable in 2,3 and 4 way configurations.

The GTX780Ti has two dual link DVI connectors, as well as a full sized DisplayPort and HDMI connector.

The GK110 core is marked with a 425-B1 revision as shown above. Nvidia are using ultra high speed SK Hynix GDDR5 memory clocked at a whopping 7.0 GBps effective speed.

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.
