Hey guys, im planing on upgrading my GTX660 to a 780 classifed. however i did see the new 8 series for desktops is due out in a few months. i was wanting to spend about $550 or so on it. do you think i would be better off just buying the 780 classified or wait until the new GPU's come out? im sure the price will be higher than the 7 series, so that would translate into a 860 sieries if i plan on spending the same amount of money. is the 780 classifed going to be better than an 860? i hope that made sense...:sarcastic:

GTX780 is a crippled GK110 chip with a 384bit bus, that came from the workstation class cards. GTX900 series is the next generation of the consumer class cards, the successor to the GTX770 (aka GTX680) and will have a 256bit bus. Nvidia claims that the design improvements remove the need for the extra bandwidth, but I would wait until some real benchmarks are out

Almost guaranteed that the GTX780Ti will still be the fastest single GPU for a while. It has all 15 of the SMX units of the GK104 chip enabled, whereas the GTX780 only...
