Title says it all. I've heard multiple times, multiple places, that the 780ti uses the same PCB and has the same GPU chip as the vanilla 780, but the 780 is 'detuned' and the 780ti is 'fully unlocked'...
Why can't you simply take a standard 780 and tell it to act like a 780ti?
Reminds me of bullsh!t way back in the day with IBM selling mainframes with 32mb of RAM, offering a super expensive upgrade to 64mb, which was done by a tech showing up and moving one jumper to unlock the RAM you already physically had. This is what I feel Nvidia is doing with these chips and their cuda cores.
