GTX 780 and 770 coming next month, Maxwell next year

[QUOTE="darksusperia"][QUOTE="_Matt_"]

 

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.

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.

[QUOTE="darksusperia"] One of the etailers here in aus has already dropped their 680 prices, and even the 670's.darksusperia

Quite a significant drop that. I think the EVGA 680 did drop a little here, but only by about 20 British pounds each model, so not enough to be excited over :/

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.

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.

The 680 is still a very powerful and relaible card. If you buy one in June as you planned you will be very happy! There are certainly other helpful people here who im sure would be happy to advise, but my philosphy go along the lines of: If you decide to wait, you'll be waiting forever, so act now.

Mind telling what sort of games you plan on running as well as at what resolution?

Must say if the price drop on the 680 is big enough, I am tempted to buy another one (and include it in my WC loop if I do that as well) horgen123

Oh sweet you have a WC loop? sorry, off topic, but could you post a pic of it? You have piqued my interest.

Hopefully 760 will beat 660ti and 760ti will beat 670.

I'm looking for something good for £180ish, maybe i should wait.

All I hope is they have enough supply to meet demands as I recall the 600 Series and Titan, and I *Think* the 7000 Series had serious supply problems.

The Titan was practically impossible to get ahold of at launch.  I spent days looking for mine and had to get them shipped from California to Georgia.

That is because Nvidia only gave their top AIBs permission to release cards right away and the majority went to OEMs.

This is a bit different of a situation back when AMD released SI they did so a few months after TSMC started mass production on 28nm. The first 6-8months on a new process/node is generally really competitive with customers fighting each other for TSMC's very limited capacity. Once they have those 6-8 months to ramp production, things start to settle down as capacity meets demand.

I'm still trying to find a reason why I shouldn't keep using my 570 :P

Probably only if majority of games start using a lot more VRAM

I think it's logical to wait for the 700 series.

I think I'm gonna hold on to my Titans until Maxwell.

Having said that, I think that the GTX 780 Titan LE will be killer, and probably can be overclocked into a Titan.

i will wait 4 the 800 series....................

Yeah you'll be right! Ask around though.

EDIT: If i could give someone my digital copy of crysis 3 on origin for free, would.

I plan on doing the same. I think the Titan will be the most powerful SINGLE gpu for a while now, until the Maxwell 880.

It'll be a long time my friend, a long time.

To those asking why not a 670, i'm super poor atm :(

Probably gonna wait till the 700 series, trying to sort out a pc for my friend asap (his laptop just died), he might buy my 275.
