$250+ for a 770 with lower power consumption? Come on, Nvidia, where's the progress?

 

Seems like too much of a performance drop from the GTX 970 to be $250-300.

I agree, at most this should launch at the same price as the 660 did.

 

More pressure on AMD. We know they already tapped them out release all the goodies!
I hope we can see both release various new cards in January

 

the 770 are already 275$ what's the point

 

Those specs put far too much of a gap between the 970 and the 960 unless a GM204 960Ti is being released simultaneously

 

I highly doubt we will see or hear any news of new GPU's at CES in January for anything except the GTX 960. Although I would be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.

In general CES has been a PC DIY snooze fest the past 2 years with most of it being focused on mobile stuff.

The only saving grace of it has been the PC DIY case, cooling, and power supply companies showing off new stuff at the show.

The only possible exciting thing this year for me is the new SSD controllers from Marvell, OCZ and Sandforce should be finally making their debut, hopefully with some benchmark previews.

 

It's possible they don't want to affect 970 980 sales, hence the performance gap.

 

If it's true that's expected from Nvidia, not really doing well in the sub $200 area and this card won't change if it's barely above a 770. I wonder what the TDP is but it's not like the 770 uses a lot anyways.

Yeah, those specs sound more like a 950Ti to me.

The GTX770 TDP is 230W which is a lot for a mainstream card nowadays.

 

lol are they giving the market to AMD?

besides, between 750ti vs 760 there is a huge performance gap too.

Yea, but TDP isn't power consumption. It uses something like 75% of that at max overclock possible on most of the cards (1.212v) - while my msi gaming 970, at 200w tdp, hits 110% - with the same Nvidia sensors, it reports significantly MORE power usage for gm204 @1.25v than gk104@1.212v

 

If 2GB/128bit then it will be $200. Probably matches a stock 780 at $200 after OCing.

Isn't the 770 just a 680 with 7 GHz memory? It may have a high rated TDP but it's still a GTX 680 at heart, it's pretty efficient unless Nvidia did some voodoo and made it worse.

 

lol, if it performs like a gtx770 it better not be a penny over $200. between the speculated price range, speculated performance and 128 bit/2GB, anybody waiting on this card better just save up for that gtx970 instead. incoming stink bomb if any of this is true.

There is no way it will match stick 780 after OCing. That's too close to 970

Expected ?

Have you missed cards like GTX 6600/7600/460/560 in the past ?

970 at stock already beats a 780.

 

I'm predicting 770 performance give or take 10 fps and only needing a single 6 pin to power it.

What do you all think?

I'm thinking saying 10 fps is too broad, that could mean anywhere from 5% more to 100% more, depending on the game/settings/resolution

It seems correct.
100W TDP, 6 pin and very good overclocking potential like all others Maxwell card.
We'll maybe see a GTX960Ti based on GM204 with a 192-bit memory bus later, who knows ?

 

I have a GTX 660...how much more performance would I get out of this thing...primarily worried about running GTA V. Main processor is a 3770k OC'd to 4.2

Optimistically double the performance. Realistically about 75% stronger. But i'm obviously speculating.

 

Okay, let's see.
- Very low power consumption
- Near 770 performance
- Good OC headroom (?)
- Small in size
- Silent
- 249€

Where's the bad stuff?
