It's going to be interesting to see how well Nvidia's integrated memory controller and ROPs scale when the reviewers try to overclock the 7000 MT/s binned GDDR5.
If they can get it to 8000 MT/s it would be amazing. I'm really interested to see what the limit of the IMC and ROPs are though.

Don't you think the 780 is going to hurt Titan sales? It's definitely priced to protect the cards below it, but I don't see it being priced close enough to Titan to get many people to choose the Titan over it.
It took every once of strength in my body to not buy the GTX 780 lol.
I finally talked myself out of it because I don't want to drain my loop and buy a block etc. That GTX 780 ACX card is so tempting though even besting the Titan in a lot of games.
That is a monster overclock but who knows if that is error free operation though. GDDR5 will continue to clock higher beyond stable operations and produce errors, resulting in a decrease in performance instead of crashing (up to a certain extent).
Also, anyone can set their memory speed to that and take a gpu-z screenshot.
1300 is not real impressive as most 670 and 680 cards can do pretty close to that.Well looky there! And looky here! GTX770 @ 1300 mhz core and 8180 mhz vram!

the typical oc will have to be much higher for me to consider it though. its going likely be a $450 card which is twice what I paid for my gtx660ti. when both are oced that 770 is only going to be about 30% faster than what I already have. plus I do think 2gb of vram might be a limitation within a year and that just too much money to risk it.Yeah but most 680's don't scale well because their vram tops out between 6600-7100mhz, with a few golden samples hitting ~7200-7250mhz. This card's vram is benched at over 8000mhz!!! That is more than a 33% bandwidth increase over a 680! If 8000mhz on a 770 is as common as 7000mhz is on 680's and 670's, then that 1300mhz core gets to spread it's wings and will be a heck of a performer.

Oh I definitely agree for anyone that already has your level of performance. Not worth the upgrade at the $450 expected price, but the ram running at that speed is damn impressive nonetheless.
But it was a stock clocked 7970GHz and not an overclocked one. You're artificially limiting the 7970GHz either because you don't understand how simple math works or you're purposefully being dishonest. Which is it?Anandtech did a OC test with the GTX780. And because we know certain people who like to compare OC cards against other cards with standard clock the GTX780 OC is
66% faster in Shogun 2
26,4% faster in Hitman:Ab
61% faster in BF3
50% faster in Bioshock Infinity
45,5% faster in Crysis 3
than the 7970GHz. Average is 50%.
Not bad for only a 44% higher price.
It has nothing to do with your sarcasm, the point you were (unsuccessfully) trying to make is still wrong.I think you did not get the sarcasm.
I like to use hwbot.org as a means of comparison, under the assumption that people submitting there have a better idea of how hardware works than the average "enthusiast." That said, I think the averages for cards are a mean low, being that not every submitted score is shooting for the absolute maximum clocks. Anyway, 7970 (GHz included) is 1209MHz on air (http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_7970/) and Titan (no data on 780 yet) is 1066MHz (http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce_gtx_titan/).What is the average overclock for a 7970 GE? 1150-1200Mhz? would be interested to see a comparison.
I did not make a point. I used the same logic like certain other people who use the OC ability of the 7970 to justify the former MSRP of the 7970.
People justified the former MSRP of the 7970 because it was faster and cheaper than the 3gb gtx580. Why do people keep conveniently forgetting this simple fact.
When the gtx680 launched and was faster the 7970's prices adjusted accordingly.
