Earlier this year, Nvidia launched the GK110 graphics processor for consumers, often referred to as “real” Kepler. The record-breaking circuit formed the Geforce GTX Titan, named after the Cray Titan supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States. The card not only proved to live up to its name, but it became and still is an expensive story.
Today, Nvidia launches the Geforce GTX 780, also this one with a GK110 circuit. Physically, the graphics card holds the same circuit board and cooler as the mighty GTX Titan. However, it is a more stripped-down variant of the GK110, with 12 of 15 SMX clusters activated and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory with the same wide memory bus as its big brother.
Remarkably, this round is a significantly lower price picture than the GTX Titan, which makes the graphics card suitable for a wider audience. The most powerful graphics processor ever put to the test in a new vintage in SweClocker’s test lab when Nvidia introduces the new GTX 700 series!
