A recent leak highlights the specifications of the new Geforce GTX780 Ti to be released in November – and the card will be massive.
The leak appeared on Twitter and detailed the specs of the Galaxy reference design, complete with the same cooler found on the Nvidia Titan and the GTX780.
No pricing information was detailed, but it will likely be competitive with the AMD Radeon R9 290X.
The table below compares the leaked specifications of the GTX780 Ti against the R9 290X, the GTX Titan, and the recently price-dropped GTX780.
| Specification |
Geforce GTX780 Ti |
AMD Radeon R9 290X |
Geforce GTX Titan |
Geforce GTX780 |
| Shader Cores |
2880 | 2816 | 2688 | 2304 |
| Raster Operators |
48 | 64 | 48 | 48 |
| Texture units |
240 | 176 | 224 | 192 |
| Clock speed | 876MHz | 800MHz | 837MHz | 863MHz |
| Boost speed | 928MHz | 1000MHz | 876MHz | 900MHz |
| Memory speed | — | 1250MHz | 1502MHz | 1502MHz |
| VRAM buffer | 3GB | 4GB | 6GB | 3GB |
| Bus width | 384-bit | 512-bit | 384-bit | 384-bit |
| TDP | 300W | 300W | 250W | 220W |
| Launch price | — | $549 | $999 | $649 |
Some issues can already be seen with the GTX780 Ti even though we have no official benchmarks yet. The card has the same number of Raster Operators as the Titan and the GTX780, a similar number of texture units and a similar clock speed to the Titan.
Going by shader power alone, the card will be faster than its competition from both the Geforce and Radeon families. However, the Achilles heel will be its performance at UltraHD 4K resolutions, because it still shares the same 384-bit bus as its brothers.
Expectations will be reasonable. It will dominate at resolutions under 4K and should be only around 20% faster than a stock Radeon R9 290X at the 4K resolution. However, that may be at a cost of higher power consumption, a louder fan profile, and a much higher, possibly unattractive, launch price.

About this statement “The card has the same number of Raster Operators as the Titan and the GTX780, a similar number of texture units and a similar clock speed to the Titan”. As of I can see everything is more than Titan, it seems like a powerful card, as of I know a 6GB version will be ideal match for a 384bit bus. I am sure AMD will come up with a R9 290x GHz edition, with a lesser price, once GTX 780 Ti’s full power is known.
