The Nvidia make many best graphics cards we have seen from last 10 year or so. AMD is out of the game as they are already late in the contest so Nvidia is getting the full benefits. The GPU market has been dominated by Nvidia and they are the only brand which is giving much variety with performance. The Nvidia GTX 690 and then GTX Titan have done really well in the market for Nvidia and now they launch a new card of their 700 series which is Nvidia GTX 780. This card is in the market to replace GTX 680 as the name tells so lets talk about its features and specifications…..

The Nvidia GTX 780 is a little brother of GTX Titan as it has same but decreased specification than Titan and obviously price is also lower than GTX Titan. It has 384 less CUDA cores than GTX Titan and 784 more CUDA cores than GTX 680. The bas clock is 863Mhz and it can be easily boost to 900Mhz. The Nvidia GTX 780 has 3GB GDDR5 memory @ 6Ghz. The Max TDP of 250 watts which is same as Titan and GTX 680 so on the same consumption level, you get much better performance. Than Nvidia GTX 780 is based on 28nm process and the GTX 600 series card are and Titan as well. The Nvidia GTX 780 is a good chance for GTX 580 user to replace their card with Nvidia GTX 780 and improve performance about 74%. The Nvidia GTX 780 has dual slot design and it has 2x DVI port, an HDMI and display ports so there are all the connecting options are available displays to be connected and max 4 displays can be used at a time.
Lets take a look at benchmarks…..
The Nvidia GTX 780 is really a nice card and it will surely change the minds of the GTX 580 users. The Nvidia GTX 780 offers good features and performance to replace the GTX 680. The Nvidia GTX 780 is in between GTX Titan and GTX 680 from performance and price perspectives. The Nvidia GTX 780 has better cooling than GTX 680 and design is also much attractive which is pretty similar to GTX Titan and GTX 690. The Nvidia GTX 780 does not include much innovation and it is based upon same 28nm process. The Nvidia GTX 780 has 3GB_GDDR5 memory and 863 base clock. The Nvidia GTX 780 pretty good and reasonable performance to replace from GTX 680 to GTX 780. Overall Nvidia GTX 780 is a pretty nice graphics card and good refreshment in their GPU lineup.
- Good design.
- Good build quality.
- Nice performance.
- 2304 CUDA cores.
- Powered by GK110 GPU.
- Still 28nm process based , no innovation.
- Still expensive for most of the people.
