My only question is why would anyone need to upgrade a 780 yet? Alot less powerful cards play current games on ultra without a hitch so why crave more power you shader pigs!!

I don't need to, the 780 is more than adequate. It's nice seeing you lot get in a froth about it though like when I said I was getting a Titan. :D

780ti Thoughts?

people are saying that its just a overclocked version of 780s. But isnt the ti based around a another different architechture? Just post your thoughts and opinion and pls no fanboys :yinyang:

Shame none of the reviews I've seen have benchmarks against SLI cards. I would guess that a lot of people who would consider upgrading to it already have pretty extreme rigs.

lol not much much getting a 780ti if you already have a 780. just grab another 780, two 780s greater than one 780ti.

The cooling on a reference 780 is extremely quiet, and looking at reviews so far the 780Ti is only 3dBA louder.

Yes, I've been looking at the benchmarks and it seems a lot of the relative loudness comes from when the reviewers are doing stress testing - whereas in the couple of reviews I've found where they've singled out game playing it's remarkably quiet.

On the sound difference front, I don't know if you know this but 3dBa louder isn't like 3 degrees hotter or inches longer - a rise of 3dBA is actually twice the sound power. Please do not take my tone as a supercilious know it all - I only found out about this through researching quiet components over the last few months. (I keeping meaning to look up how you calculate the total potential sound produced by a system - it can't be just adding the numbers together because if this was true, every gaming PC owner would have burst ear-drums. I'm guessing it's an average or some mathematical sine-wave flip-flop thing you have to be drunk with a masters degree to understand.)

Back on track - what you say still holds true, the 780 Ti is an amazing piece of engineering and considering it'll probably take Palit a few months to get the Jetstream version out, I'm very tempted to call my build done and push the buy button (I'm also slightly scared though... It's an expensive box of expensive bits that potentially could go wrong - expensively.)

The other thread seems to have gone walkies. Unless it's jumped to another page... Can't see that though because there are threads there that are months old lol.
