hey everybody and welcome back to Pauls hardware thanks for stopping by today I think you'll be glad that you did because I have a GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card just here to my left so today's video I'm going to be taking you through some of the detailed specs of the card giving you a nice close up look of it and Kyle actually ran some benchmarks on this card I was able to coerce him into entering his benchmark numbers onto my shared spreadsheet so I'll be sharing us some competitive competitive benchmark numbers as well so thanks to Kyle for his 780ti benchmarks if you want to check out Kyle's channel he's probably doing a video on this as well over on his channel awesomesauce news so go ahead and click the link if you want to see more of Kyle in the meantime now let's go ahead and take a closer look at Nvidia's newest GPU now physically you're probably going to notice that this card bares a striking resemblance to the GTX Titan the GTX 780 and the GTX 770 basically it's just about exactly the same card you've got the same PCB it's a PCB layout the GPU is still based on the gk110 although it is the maximum size possible for that particular piece of silicon and then they've also gone and made some a few more slight adjustments you might notice the title of the card itself gtx 780 Ti is has some dark printing on it so it stands out a bit more and then they've also gotten the well done what looks like a bit of powder coating on the aluminum fins underneath the see-through window that you can see right there so it gives it kind of a darker look to it and I'd say probably fitting for what is most likely going to be the last card at least of a flagship nature from this series apart from that you'll notice all of the familiar trappings six pin and eight pin PCI Express graphics connectors dual sli connectors for SLI configurations and then the dark black PCB on the back and the black and silver heatsink shroud over the top the geforce gtx logo will still light up and you can configure the different lighting options using nvidia software and then at the back of the card you'll see your video outs you've got a couple dual link DVIs the HDMI and a full-size DisplayPort full-sized HDMI and full-sized of DisplayPort which are very nice connection options internally we're basing this card on five graphics processing clusters still using the same architecture again it's still based on the gk110 that you recognize from the titan we have 15 streaming multi processors and that gives us a total of two thousand eight hundred and eighty CUDA cores more so than that 780 or the Titan you also get 960 double precision CUDA cores so heck I don't know what an Nvidia is thinking or if they're planning on selling any more titans because at the price that this card is which is $700 at launch it's pretty much gonna smack the Titan around you'll see that coming up in the benchmarks here at 240 texture units 48 ROP units and then we're running at a base clock of 875 megahertz a booth clock of 928 megahertz and you will see frequencies beyond that thanks to GPU boost 2.0 the memory is running at 7,000 megahertz you get three gigs of it it's gddr5 memory of course and it's on a 384 bit memory interface it gives you a total memory bandwidth of 336 gigabytes per second a texture filtering rate of 210 gig of texels per second and this is still based on the 28 nanometer fabrication process that is also known as the Kepler architecture you get 7.1 billion transistors in this card it's a dual slot form factor and they're recommending a 600 watt power supply at minimum for this card in your entire system the TDP of the card itself is 250 Watts out of the box the card is going to run at about 80 to 83 degrees Celsius that is its temperature target so that's what it's going to try to hit and next up we're gonna look at some benchmarks as promised I'm also going to talk a little bit about overclocking and the overclocking was kind of added late to this video which is why you might notice I don't mention it at the end of the video I'm only gonna talk now but here's a look at my precision X settings from the EVGA precision X utility I did a really really quick overclock on this I did not have much time to mess with the settings I had kind of an idea in my head that I went forward and I was able to find out that the 780 I have really overclocked like a dream or at least the one that we have does I was able to get a 20% GPU overclock so basically I took it from 876 to 1076 and the boost clock went all the way up to 1219 megahertz so that was pretty huge I did a little bit on the memory to a 5% memory overclock to get it up to 7400 and then when I actually ran my benchmarks I didn't even that I was doing it so quickly I hit the wrong button so I prioritized the power target rather than the temperature target I was trying to do a temperature target of 88 degrees Celsius but with my OC settings that card maxed out at 85 degrees Celsius so just a couple degrees hotter fan speed was pretty minimal like not much difference from running the card at stock and I got some pretty huge numbers which you'll see in a second I am going to include my 290x overclocked benchmark numbers as well the 290x had a 5% memory overclock and a 7 % GPU overclock so the GPU on the 290x in these benchmarks was running at 1070 so here is all of the benchmark scales on the 780 Ti and my benchmarks and my overclocked 780ti benchmarks and I notice there's a lot of talk lately about you know should we show overclocked benchmark so should we show stock the reference benchmarks well I was like hey why not show both that's that's what I'm gonna do so here you go so now that you've taken a look at some benchmarks it should be pretty clear the 780ti is just about the fastest single GPU card that's currently available that includes the GTX Titan and it's definitely going beyond to the performance of the 290 X or whatever the 290 X is capable of right now now that brings us to the next question which is going to be price to performance or relative comparison because that's always what you want is the best bang for your buck and as you might expect from a top to your card Nvidia is charging a top-tier price $700 for this card is their manufacturers recommended price and that's pretty expensive this is definitely going to remain in the upper echelons of folks who make really high-end gaming systems for the time being it's gonna be one of those cards that you lust after and maybe never ever get to actually mess around with I'm lucky enough to have had one here so big thanks to Nvidia for providing us the cards for Newegg and I guess if you want to leave me some feedback down in the comment section below I'd like to hear what you think about this card especially when you're compared to the 290x so 290x has a lot going for it when you comes to price and performance and the 298 $400 is a really really good value so Nvidia does have a lot of competition from AMD even if Andy's top cards can't match the 780 Ti right now but all that being said I'd love to hear your feedback so go ahead and leave me some down in the feedback section below a like or a dislike or a comments I'd love to hear what you had to say thanks a lot for watching this video don't forget to subscribe
