GeForce GTX 780 Ti: Overview| K600 framework| Specification (Specs)| Testing – Is it Good for Gaming? “$700” – The notorious rivalry between the two main GPU manufacturers NVIDIA and AMD has once again given green fans a reason to rejoice. Before the Reds had time to enjoy the applause in honor of the release of their new flagship in the face of the Radeon R9 290X, the Californians deftly tripped them up.
For experts, it was quite expected that after the release of the top video card from AMD, NVIDIA will not stand aside and will try to create, if not much more, then certainly no less powerful solution. Expectations were justified, and a new representative of the GeForce family is released – a video card GTX 780 Ti.
The announced video adapter at the end of 2013 is the most powerful single-chip in terms of implementation in modern demanding games. The video card is built on a graphics processor marked GK110, which was previously found in GTX 780 And GTX TITAN.
GTX 780 Ti Unboxing & Review
However, unlike the mentioned predecessors, the novelty has a fully functional (not cropped) core, which is found only in a professional solution such as K600 framework. So, for example, in the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, the number of processing cores is 2880, while in TITAN there are 2688 of them. But let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of the above video cards in order to compare them.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti: Specifications (Specs)
| GeForce GTX 780 Ti | GeForce GTX 780 | GeForce GTX TITAN | |
| Chip code name | GK110 | GK110 | GK110 |
| Technical process | 28 nm | 28 nm | 28nm |
| Number of transistors | 7.1 billion | 7.1 billion | 7.1 billion |
| GPU clock frequency, MHz: base/ Boost | 875/928 | 863/900 | 836/876 |
| texture blocks | 240 | 224 | 192 |
| Universal Processors | 2880 | 2304 | 2688 |
| ROPs | 48 | 48 | 48 |
| Video memory type | GDDR5 | GDDR5 | GDDR5 |
| Video memory size | 3072 MB | 3072 MB | 6144 MB |
| Bus width, bit | 384 | 384 | 384 |
| Memory frequency, MHz: real/effective | 1750/7000 | 1502/6008 | 1502/6008 |
| Interface | PCI-Express 3.0 x16 | PCI-Express 3.0 x16 | PCI-Express 3.0 x16 |
| Power consumption | 250 W | 250 W | 250 W |
As can be seen from the table, the novelty is ahead of its predecessors in many key parameters. Titanium only has more video memory, but how important this parameter is, we already wrote in an article about how to choose a graphics card. Thus, the final performance of the GTX 780 Ti, if not “by the head”, then at least significantly higher than that of the GTX 780 and GTX TITAN. Well, now, actually, about performance.
