GTX 780 and 770 coming next month, Maxwell next year

http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/31167-geforce-gtx-780-770-coming-in-may

Any thoughts of this? I think I'll wait for AMD to respond for this. I'm itching to upgrade later this year, but I can also wait for next year.

Finally! I have been itching to upgrade so badly. I was so close to pulling the trigger on 2x 7970's, but hated the thought of buying 14 month old tech. Decided to hold off to see what the 7990 is all about and now this... the 700 series! Count me in for 2x 780's for sure! Can't wait! So glad I decided to hold off on a titan! Bye bye 5870's!!! Plus my birthday is May 23rd! Happy birthday to me!

That's what I'll be waiting for! I'll be using my school refund cash for a new graphics card

So GTX 780 *is* Titan LE. 

Interesting...

probably stick with my 670 until maxwell

I'm new to building PCs but I'm thinking of doing so sometime within the next year, so forgive my lack of knowledge but I thought Maxwell was going to be the 700 series? Or is Maxwell the 800 series? I don't understand yet what all these differences are. Any clarification you guys can offer would be great.

Also, would it be a good idea to wait until these Maxwell cards come out before I put together a build? I'm not really in any particular hurry to do so, just interested in doing it sometime once next generation rolls around.

There's no reason for me to upgrade as long as I'm happy with my 670. It's still a beast.

To answer the 2nd part its all up to you. If you have the money/desire to play games now then I wouldn't wait (it all depends on if you want to play games now). If your only going to game on a single monitor (1920x1200 resolution or under) then I would build now and get a GTX 660 SC for $180 (you can play games you've missed out on over the next 12-14 months and then sell the card and get the maxwell).

You'll at worst lose $100 by selling the GTX 660 SC but you will be able to play games until Maxwell

I'll likely get  the 770 if the price is below 500$. Otherwise I hope the cards cause AMD to drop the 7950 prices even further and then i'll grab one of those.

Wish I didn't see this thread, cuz I'm about to get a new gfx card, probably a GTX 660. Which might cost 30% less soon. But not soon enough for me :/.

Thanks for the advice. :)

I might just do that. 

Sounds sweet. If it's priced right then I will get some of these for my Summer build :)

This is good news.  I hope the 760 and/or 760 Ti aren't far behind.  I will probably upgrade this generation.

That's the plan

Yup, spot on!

More like OVERKILL AIRSTRIKE.

Why the hell do you need 2 x GTX TITAN's for???

Tell me how overkill is a bad thing?

Waste of money most of the time.

I never said it was a BAD thing... I have 32GB of RAM on my machine which is overkill but it was because the shop where I buy at ran out of 16GB.

Depends what you need.  If you're running, for example, at 1920x1080 on one monitor, a Titan is overkill and a waste of extra money when a 670 can do the same thing.

Hmm, not sure what I should do, but I definitely don't want to stick with my 7870. I'll probably pick up a 680 when these 700 series cards arrive.

If I have two GTX 570s, when should I upgrade?

To anyone thinking of upgrading here is my advice: skip each gen of cards. So if you have a 680 wait untill the 880 which will be Maxwell.

That is just in general but ofcoarse everyone plays different games, at different resolutions and have different expectations and so on and you should choose accordingly.

Do not base your upgrades on hardware cycles.

So GTX 780 *is* Titan LE. 

Interesting...

Well I guess 2 Titans COULD be stressed, but it had have to be a really, really high res.

Think I will SLI a couple of the 780s in my Summer rig. May be a slight upgrade over my single HD5870. Just a slight one.

I'm building a new rig in june. I was planning on getting a 680. Will the 680 fall in price and will the 780 take it's place pricewise?

Hopefully, but knowing Nvidia's not so competitive pricing, the 680 will probably stay the same price for a while, with the 780 being more expensive.

Kip, I was planning to splurging for a 680 in june but now... advise me! This is a new rig I'm building btw. Around a 1600 dollar budget.

Nice. Here in the UK prices for 670 and 680 have been pretty consistent for a while, they are not likely to get major drops anytime soon.
