The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review
by Ryan Smith on November 7, 2013 9:01 AM ESTCrysis 3
Still one of our most punishing benchmarks, Crysis 3 needs no introduction. With Crysis 3, Crytek has gone back to trying to kill computers and still holds “most punishing shooter” title in our benchmark suite. Only in a handful of setups can we even run Crysis 3 at its highest (Very High) settings, and that’s still without AA. Crysis 1 was an excellent template for the kind of performance required to drive games for the next few years, and Crysis 3 looks to be much the same for 2013.
Crysis 3 is another strong title for NVIDIA, leading to GTX 780 Ti easily taking the top spot at 2560 for single-GPU setups. At 62.4fps it’s the first and only card fast enough to deliver better than 60fps despite Crysis 3’s punishing rendering workload, and in the process outperforms the 290X by about 20%. Even 7990, the closest thing to single-card competition for the GTX 780 Ti, is still only less than 2fps ahead.
Meanwhile throwing on another GTX 780 Ti will further improve performance here, though with shaky results for NVIDIA. At 2560 this is enough to crack 100fps, but at a 4K NVIDIA’s SLI scaling starts coming up short. The difference in scaling becomes so great that the 290X closes the gap and then some, leading to the 290X CF taking the lead. Given the fact that the GTX 780 Ti SLI is largely overkill for anything but these high resolutions, this weaker scaling undercuts the practicality of going with a GTX 780’s Ti SLI in these situations.

So, the high end of video cards can run shamelessly all the "high" end titles at 2560x1440. What are the game developers doing? So much computing power being wasted for viewing our games at nonsensical resolutions? There's still room for improvement of the game visuals, why don't they take advantage of the cards' muscle?I may be eccentric, but for some peculiar reason, I don't get excited by playing pacman and supermario at ultra hd.

Folding@home double precision benchmark results are somewhat strange to me. How can a 780 Ti card (with FP64=1/24 FP32) beat a 7970 aka 280X (with FP64=1/4 FP32)?abhishek_takin - Sunday, November 10, 2013 - link
780ti is great card in terms of performance. But 700$ is too much to ask. As a gamer Max FPS is not everything. It should smooth and fast with Ultra / High details. I have 7970GHZ crossfire with 27 inch Dell dual monitor setup. My pc smokes all the latest game in the market. And ask me how much i paid 640$ and bunch of free games. I know the problem of crossfire but its not that huge for which one should opt for a single card for 700$.I am not a fanboy of Nvidia or AMD. If the card's price would be under 550$ then everyone would be saying that.... its the best card ever made. Only because of its big price tag lots of people are voting for 290X, 290 and 780(normal) which is very much fair.

Could be a hoax. The posted image of the burnt PCI-E connector doesn't look like a 780ti.nsiboro - Monday, November 11, 2013 - link

What about on Surround monitors, the main draw for the Titan was that it has 6GB of Ram.
