    No certain info on gtx 7xx yet, but general opinion is that 780 will be 20% slower then titan.
    Price wise, people say 7xx will cost roughly 700ish.

    You'll be able to get a watercooled Titan...but maybe just from a system-builder as per Anand's preview: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6760/nvidias-geforce-gtx-titan-part-1/7

    Anyway, benches are out Thursday.
    Wanna take bets? The safe play is that the 690 still beats a single Titan in games.

    I don't see any reason to suspect a 7xx card is going to be much more expensive at release than the 6xx counterpart was. It's a refresh of Kepler, not a big change, still on the same process.

    I would hope not, 20% slower than titan means barely anything more than the current 6xx series according to Nvidia's slide. And considering nvidia would try to show their new card in the best possible light, that doesnt bode very well.

    ~30-50% better than a 680.

    So here's the question you have to ask:
    When buying a $1000 videocard (the concept makes me laugh) do you just go ahead and get two so it can beat a different $1000 video card?

    Obviously the best single-card option

    Gotta be running at some serious resolutions for it to matter in some games.

    If you do GPU compute stuff it'll blow your socks off.

    Not impressed really. Other than its a single GPU on it doing all those things.

    I don't have or want to spend that amount of $ on 1 piece of hardware.

    I think I'd rather light $200 on fire and buy a 680.

    Save money that way.

    This goes with how the GK104 (660Ti-680) was put together. They basically took what would become GK110 (The Titan and low-end tesla card) and chopped out some GPU compute stuff to make it more energy efficient.

    This card doesn't exist to make sense in a price/performance world. It's just there to be a luxury item with big markup to outlet excess GK110s (Selling them as Teslas would make them much more money, but that market is not all that big).

    *Rumour*

    Someone over on OC.net just mentioned that EVGA will supposedly be carrying a hydro copper version of this bad boy. It will be a freaking beast considering how this thing dynamically clocks with GPU boost 2.0.

    I actually postponed my purchase of gtx titan. I'll see if nvidia releases gtx 700 series this spring(gtx 790 would be ideal for me). If not, then i'll buy gtx titan.

    If you'd go for a 790...why not have gone for the 690 instead of the Titan?
    I can't really imagine the 700 series being terribly far away from the 600, considering it's a refresh, rather than a new design.

    I thought the same thing. I'd like to see the 7970 included.
