GeForce GTX 780 Ti Specs and Hardware Overview

2013-11-07
how's it going guys Kyle here with awesomesauce news today we'll be taking a look at the gtx 780ti from nvidia now this is their most recently launched flagship card and it does feature the same gk110 GPU as both the GTX Titan and the GTX 780 which indeedy recently launched and it does have a few beefed up specs in fact almost every area of specification it has been amplified since the release of the GTX 780 it's pretty much an unlocked a fully unlocked and Unleashed gk110 so we're gonna take a look at some of the spec differences between those three cards as well as the differences between this card and the 290x the r9 290x the AMD recently launched you also get all of these same features that you would with any 700 series card from Nvidia like a shadow play GPU Boost 2.0 3d vision surround and all that good stuff but essentially i'm just going to be doing an overview of this the spec differences and i'm going to be releasing another video in the future actually probably right around the time this one goes up of benchmark so you'll be able to actually see for yourself if the seven hundred dollar price tag that's attached to this card is worth the performance increase that you'd see over the five-hundred-dollar GTX 780 for example or the thousand-dollar GTX Titan which i'm not sure why it's still out a thousand dollars it's kind of outrageous because as you will soon see this card beats it in almost every test that I run but with that said why don't we take a look at some of the spec differences between this card and the other two gk110 GPUs from Nvidia okay so right off the bat we can see a base clock and a boost clock frequency increase from the 780 to the 780 ti actually the boost clock of the GTX Titan ends right where the base clock of the 780 ti begins at eight hundred and seventy six megahertz and then we get a boost clock of 928 megahertz still trailing behind the r9 290x at one gigahertz you do get more stream processors on the 780 Ti than you do with the Titan and that's once again this is a fully unlocked gk110 so you're going to get 2880 over the previous 2688 with the Titan 290x still still not too far behind with 2816 as far as memory goes you get half the amount of the Titan frame buffer at three gigs three gigs should be plenty I'm not sure if I can release a four gig version of the card but that'd be pretty cool even though you have half the amount of frame buffer as the Titan you do have a faster memory clock so the effect of memory clock has gone up from six gigahertz with both the Titan in the 780 27 gigahertz with the 780 ti you also get a bandwidth increase for your memory going from 288 point 4 gigabytes per second to 336 and memory interface remains the same across the board with the nvidia cards of 384-bit trailing just behind the r9 290x at 512 alright so here i have my gtx 780ti and alongside it the gtx titan for a relative comparison right off the bat you can see the coolers are pretty much exactly the same with a few minor differences one being the painted aluminum fin array now painted in black as opposed to the more traditional just chromed out look of the unpainted aluminum fin array there with the GTX Titan as well as with the 780 and most graphics cards for that matter don't usually paint their Finn arrays I'm not sure why Nvidia decided to do this maybe they just got tired of the old traditional look they wanted to match this part of the shroud I'm not really sure but I don't think it affects performance either way so it doesn't really bother me one aesthetic change i can see definitely why they made was the painting of the engraved branding of gtx 780ti now painted in black so you can see it a lot better as opposed to the titan and 780 you just couldn't really see it all that much and you know part of having a badass high-end card in your system is to be able to show it off to your friends and you can easily do so now with this new painted look slide from that oh yeah look at this the pcie gen3 connector it's black right there and it's brownish orange right here not exactly sure why that matters Paul pointed out to me and I was like oh there's a difference I was just I was just pining for differences between these two coolers between these two cards and that was pretty much all I could come up with everything else is more or less the same still uses the vapor chamber to do your thermal dissipation it's got the same blower style fan that will eject air out the front as well as the back of your car through those ventilation slots the rest of the shroud is pretty much enclosed so you're not going to have too much heat dispersed inside of your case which is always nice is your a look at your pcie gen3 connector once again over here you've got some power connectivity your 6 pin and 8 pin pcie connectors I would recommend a 600 watt power supply for this card there's a geforce gtx branding in green which also has the green LED behind it lights up and illuminates and looks really cool SLI fingers for up to 4 Way SLI with this card so if you want to kill some games go ahead and do so I highly encourage it take a look at the pc eats I've got a kind of a glossy black finish looks almost identical to the Titan once again except the Titan of course has that massive amount it's got a six gig frame buffer once again so you've got all the memory modules on this side of the PCB there on the opposite side of the PCB for the gtx 780ti so you don't really see them but you can kind of see where they would be surrounding the GPU right there the gk110 other than that the the PCB looks more or less the same and last but not least let's take a look at the video out so you've got two dual-link DVI ports one digital one digital only it's your DVI I digital-only and your digital and analog dvi-d port right there both dual-link hdmi port DisplayPort video outs and this is a obviously a 2 slot card design and it's a forget how long this card is I don't have a ruler on me which is pathetic I think this is what a 10 and a half inch card but yeah it'll fit in those cases that's a very educated guess Kyle it'll fit in most things but there you have it there's a look at the hardware for the gtx 780ti alright guys that is going to wrap it up for this overview once again this has been invidious latest flagship car the geforce gtx 780ti featuring the unleashed gk110 GPU and if my benchmark video is up right now go ahead and check that out if you haven't already and let me know what you think of the performance numbers the results are pretty expected given all the specs that we've gone over today compared to the other cards it's going to be no surprise that this card beats out a lot of the other competition on almost every test I run but still fun to see nonetheless and let me know out of the top three cards on the market right now as far as reasonable cards Emily I'm excluding the titan because it's a thousand dollars and it's out of the question completely ridiculous but out of the 780 ti vs. the 780 as well as the r9 290x which card would you go with given All Things Considered really all the features that you get on both ends whether it be mantle and trueaudio on AMD side or GFE shadowplay and GPU Boost 2.0 a bunch of other things on invidious side given the price given the performance All Things Considered which of those three cards would you probably be willing to go with the most and I'm really curious to know so let me know in the comments section below in this video or the benchmark video and um yeah pretty exciting stuff new card yay I think you all for watching this video please like it if you like this content and dislike it if you think I'm failing at life and be sure to subscribe to
