780 was never going to be faster than Titan (except when overclocked of course).  I'll keep my extra $350 and have the same performance, glad I did wait.

Wasn't really planning on an upgrade, not in need of more performance but this gives me an opportunity to move to a 4k screen so I jumped on it.

"4k screen" ? what do you mean

[MarkW 1,500]

4000 Dollars ? :lol:

"4k screen" ? what do you mean

 

A monitor/television that runs at a resolution of 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 - approximately 4x the current HD 1080P standard.  Should bring FSX to a whole new level of detail.

Seems pricing is somewhat different here in Australia. One retailer who is usually competitive has the following prices (All in $AUD)

 

EVGA - $729

EVGA Superclocked - $739

Galaxy - $769

Gigabyte - $829

Asus - $849

 

I don't really understand how the others could be charging such a premium over EVGA, considering pricing in the states is all comparable. Pricing at other retailers has some variation and now initial drop on 680 prices.

 

If I was going to buy one of these it would be EVGA anyway but I'd consider shipping over from the states for cheaper pricing which is what I did with my 680.

I was going to pull the pin but the prices above, which I presume you are taking from PCCG? are just a little too much. Having said that, I don't know if ordering one from the states is any cheaper once you factor in the dollar that's just dropped below parity and the shipping costs.

 

I'll wait a few weeks and see what the reports are like. Hopefully the 680 GTX will drop a little.

 

The thing I'm thining of is I plan on running 3 monitors with this bad boy, so it ticks all the boxes from that point of view...

[ant_1984 20]

I was lookinng at PCCG.

 

If you can order one off Amazon total cost including shipping will be about $670-680 AUD based on shipping costs for my previous purchases so you're still saving around $40-50.00 but it may be just as easy to grab an EVGA from PCCG if you were buying.

And single digit FPS!

Not with this level of hardware.

That is the card to have for XP-10...I mean 6GB of memory...you can crank up HDR and all goodies to the max.

Certainly seems to steamroll the 7970.

 

gb.

 

Then right after that it completely raped the GTX680 as well. Hahahaha. I wonder where this will be priced. I just got a 7970 Ghz for $397 and my buddy got a 680 for about the same. So if the current Tier 1 cards are $400 and the Titan (780 with big overclock) is $1000, This will probably hit the usual Tier 1 release price of $600 - $650. I mean the 7970 OC was initially $600 at release a year ago. Seems logical.

 

Only place I see this being useful though is in three screen land. And even then struggling in overcast weather with the PMDG JS41 coming into a UK2000 Extreme airport with fps in the low 20's all for the low low price of $650.

 

I recall Word Not Allowed saying the titan struggled with 4xSGSS Transparancy so in bad weather no miracle AA bump either. But you never know. I bet with Cloud Density at HIGH instead of MAX, it would be doable. Then this card will be the IQ king with regards to razor sharp AA.

 

But as usual, I am anxiously awaiting the FSX benchmarks and torture tests.
