Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Graphics Card Official Release

After a line of rumors and leaks, Nvidia has officially introduced its latest powerful graphics card, codenamed GeForce GTX 780 Ti. Thanks to the implementation of a full-fledged GK110 core and the increase of clock frequencies, the card is going to compete with GTX Titan model, as well as with a top-tier Radeon R9 290X from AMD. In view of such efficiency, its recommended price goes up to $700.

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti is equipped with GK110 GPU that contains 2880 stream processors (GTX Titan features 2688 of them), 7.1 billion transistors, 48 ROPs, and 240 TMUs with the support for FP16/FP32 trilinear filtration. The core operates at 875 MHz (nominal) and 928 MHz (overclocked) frequencies. All major components are allocated on a black PCB, equipped with PCI Express 3.0 x16 bus. The incorporated GDDR5 modules with 384-bit interface (overall capacity – 3 GB) run at 7008 MHz with the bandwidth of 336 Gb/sec.

Power supply is realized via a single 8-pin and a single 6-pin connectors. The maximal power consumption level is claimed to be not more than 250 W. Cooling is the responsibility of a two-slot active cooler with one turbine-type fan. Connectivity facilities are located on the rear I/O panel; it accommodates one DisplayPort 1.2, one mini-HDMI port, and two Dual Link DVI-I ports. Some other specifications of Nvidia’s etalon model are provided below:

— support for DirectX 11 API, Shader Model 5.0 and tessellation technologies;
— support for brand Nvidia’s technologies: TXAA, FXAA, CUDA, PCSS, GPU Boost 2.0, PhysX, Adaptive VSync, 3D Vision, and 3D Vision Surround;
— integrated support for RAMDAC;
— support for 4 PC monitors;
— support for 4-way SLI options;
— super low-noise cooling;
— totally focused on highly demanding games;
— 20% faster than the usual GeForce GTX 780 card and 50% faster than the preceding GeForce GTX 680 lineup.
