Nvidia’s response to the AMD Vesuvius. (It's not versus thread)
"It appears that the ”GTX 790” will not be a Dual 780 Ti, a Dual Titan or even a Dual GTX 780. It is rather something inbetween these three. A 780 has 2304 Cuda Cores, a Ti 2880 and a Titan 2688. The Nvidia Geforce GTX 790 will have:
[CODE]Cuda Cores: 2496 (x2)
Memory: 5Gb GDDR5 (x2)
Mem Bus: 320 Bit (x2)
Core: GK110 (x2)[/CODE]
"If NVIDIA were to release this GPU, we could expect the high-end to really light up, blowing away all of the things AMD has tried to build up with its new Hawaii-based R9 290X GPU."
Official release is expected around February.
This video card is going to push new limits of gaming perfomance. It seems like it's going to more powerful than any video card out there, but price might be two times higher.
Share your thoughts. Do you think this video will be worth buying?

well i'm not gonna afford it that's for sure
Tbh dual GPU cards are fairly pointless - I suppose it's a "who holds the crown" thing, but buying two cards will normally end up providing a more satisfying experience.

With single GPU card you can't have good framerate at 5760x1080. I hope there won't be SLI problems like overheating or big noise.

Which is why you buy 2 cards? That's literally what he said.

Will it? It ends up being messy.
Given I have a Mini-ITX board with one PCIE socket, dual GPU cards is the only way for me and other in the same situation to go.
Although if it's just 1mm longer than the 780 currently it's not gonna fit in my case.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;43438941]Will it? It ends up being messy.[/QUOTE]
Well, normally it'll provide higher performance, be cheaper, and slightly less noisy and be more overclockable.
Nvidia has been very good at crafting multi-gpu cards in the past, though, so maybe the difference won't be that big. I suppose you might as well spend the extra money since you're already burning big bux, since it'll be slightly less messy.
The pricing is acceptable as long as it doesn't exceed the cost of buying two separate 780/ti/titan like what they did with the 690 initially. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense on why I should buy it for a gaming PC where PCI-E slots are plenty in most higher end motherboards.

The pricing of the 690 confused me. I bought it when it first came out then it went up by £50-100 then next week.
Dual GPU cards are still a clusterfuck... GTX 880 later on for me.
Do dual GPU cards act as SLI or 1? Because some games have SLI issues, but I want extreme power for them.

To the game's it's pretty much exactly the same as 2 cards in SLI. They're 2 separate GPU's, it's just they're on the same board and the SLI bridge is built in.
My 770 was expensive enough. This thing has gotta be a wallet buster.
I don't really see where a Kepler 790 would fit into the market.
Given the increasingly small performance gains with Quad-SLI (2x790) coupled with the fact that those alleged specs on Kepler have less "cores" than the 780Ti, three overclocked and thermally free 780Ti's will run no slower than 2x790
My (probably wrong) prediction is that if we do se a 7xx dual GPU board which I think is unlikley in its self, it will be based on 28nm Maxwell, like the 750Ti.
The reduction in power and heat would be very useful from a dual GPU card, and as it is still on the 28nm node then Nvidia should have no supply problems as shown by the fact that the 750Ti is in stock ervywhere unlike AMD's recent cards.
The thorn in the side of this theory, is like GK110, if Nvidia did want to produce a "Big Maxwell" all of the production would probably go to enterprise, even though production of "Big" chips on the 28nm node seems to be going very well as shown by the 780 reaching as low as £350
I guess these cards could be used in tri and quad SLI systems if someone wants a silly computer.
I can imagine that these are aimed at both people who only have 1 pci-e slot, or people who want to quad SLI a set of them so they can run 3 x 4k monitors at 60hz.
I still think GPU's are too slow

You can only Dual SLI x90s, nvidia can only go up to Quad SLI, and since they're already two GPUs, two 790s = Quad SLI
Not Official?

I managed good frame rate at 5760*1080 with only 1 R9 290. A few lowered settings here and there kept me at 60~FPS in games
