Under those terms, the GTX 780 is hardly exciting news for the vast majority of gamers as the $650 price tag makes this new GPU unobtainable and it'll do nothing to drive prices of previous generation cards down. Perhaps next week’s launch of the GTX 770 will be a little more meaningful for the gaming community.

If you’ve got a lot of cash burning a hole in your pocket, and if you can find one, the GTX 780 Ti will be the fastest graphics card you’ve ever had. But you'll need to overclock to justify the expense.

NVIDIA GTX 760 has a best buy flavor for some gamers with a smaller budget. The performance is pretty good, but can't be compared to GTX 780. Same goes for the price.In numbers, GTX 780 has an advantage of more than 50% against GTX 760 and its price it's...

We've had one of Nvidia's reference GTX 780's in the labs in the lead up to third party designs arriving. Unlike Titan, a product whose design has been tightly locked down by Nvidia, the GTX 780 and 770 will come with the usual assortment of custom PCB...

It's expensive, but you get a great deal of performance out of it along with some nifty features. The card absolutely flies and it's a lot less expensive than the Titan. It's still a big chunk of change to put down. GeForce Experience helps take this...

One thing is certain, though – high-end cards have always been about luxury as much as performance, and if you've been looking for a mini-Titan at a better price, you're going to be happy with the GTX 780. It's as simple as that. Published under license...

I have to admit that I was a little enamored and a little concerned when I first saw the NVIDIA GTX 780. Granted, its a great looking two toned green LED lit reference card if it can even really be called reference. However, the concern was that the...

NVIDIA puso su apuesta y con una interesante serie de lanzamientos, GTX 690, GTX Titan (Pronto!), GTX 780 y próximamente la GTX 770 coloca mucha presión a su competencia. ¿Con que responderá AMD?. Por todo esto, le entregamos el máximo honor a esta bestia (Aunque recortada), la NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780.

While not the cheapest GPU on the block, NVIDIA brings a player to the market that takes the strengths of the GK110 Kepler core DNA and packages them in a more affordable package.

The GTX Titan certainly produces higher frame rates for multi-monitor and ultra-high resolution gaming, but the GTX 780’s frame rates are still high at 5,760x1,080. If you don’t have the vast funds needed to buy a GTX Titan, the GTX 780 is a better value alternative.
