I can't wait for the 800 series, it's taking too long, so I ordered a EVGA GeForce GTX 780 6GB SuperClocked w/ EVGA ACX Cooler. The extra memory will be useful when I upgrade to a 4K monitor.Joseph DeGarmo said:
But stepping up from a 770 to an 880 would make more sense, though, right?If you buy a 770 in September you will have 90 days to step to the 880...
I believe that is their policy however you might be on a waiting list for the 880 even if it comes out in Nov or DEC.
I suggest you call EVGA to confirm.

I just caught this up on the web. Anybody care to explain the significance of what the article says? Because it sounds kinda negative to me.

what aspect did you find as negative? well at the very least the info are somewhat legit although what you're seeing on the shipping list is not final representation of final product that will go into retail.

I am not the adept at GPU architectures but from what I gather, Nvidia is going for good price/performance and power/performance ratios in this series. It seems as if the GTX 870 and GTX 880 won't challenge their previous series counterparts on technical specs but rather on efficiency. So, I feel like I should wait for the 900 series and skip this one and stay with the 4 gig 770 I got.

I don't know about the website.. but the information is accurate and it's an old information.. there were many such shipping transfers that happened.. and it's still happening..

it depends a lot on what happen right now and some of it was thing that nvidia did not have any control over. for example things about TSMC new process node. initially TSMC 20nm node was expected to enter mass production sometime in second half of last year but that didn't happen. even right now i heard rumors about yield is not that good yet and most of the capacity goes to big customer like Apple and Qualcomm. nvidia most likely predict that TSMC will not be able to come with 20nm within the expected time frame so they did their best to improve their power efficiency through changes in maxwell architecture instead of relying solely on die shrink process. so right now nvidia is pretty much limited to whatever tech that available to them. delaying their product just so they can have the right tech to build their GPU will be suicidal to the company. and the result we will see a new generation of product that does not really beat last gen product.
also there are matters about competition namely AMD. AMD used to be very aggressive when it comes to putting new hardware. the strategy was to get new series each year and if possible will use die shrink for each new generation (that's mean die shrink every year). but after HD7k series AMD starts slowing down in that regard. many expected AMD will come out with HD7k series successor in late 2012 or early 2013. but it did not happen until october 2013. even by then only the 290X and 290 was truly new card. everything else was pretty much direct rebrand of 7k series. the competition has slow down plus it really take AMD a long time before they have parts that can compete directly with nvidia GK110 so there is no reason for nvidia to go all out. most likely they will try to play it safe and try to maximize their profit first. so instead coming out with the big gun from the get go they will take their much slower product and price it with flagship price. then the big gun will come out on much later generation replacing the slower part as flagship.

Excellent answer mate!
too many rumors right now. the latest round of rumor suggesting product reveal will happen sometime in mid september with hardware availability in late september:
http://videocardz.com/51117/exclusive-nvidia-geforce-gt...
http://videocardz.com/51117/exclusive-nvidia-geforce-gt...
so september paper launch for GTX880 confirmed?

The 880 will only be $50 more than the 870? If that's the case, then I'll be for it. But if that will not have the integrated ARM CPUs, leading to a CPU bottleneck, then I'll be stuck getting an 860 whenever a 4 GB version is released.the rumor says 400-450 for GTX880. no mention about 870. but looking how nvidia priced their card i don't think they will let the second runner will only cost less for $50 than the flagship model. personally i'd expect 150-200 price difference between 880 and 870. 100 if nvidia being "generous".

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-to-launch-gefor...The heck, if that 3DMark score is true, then 880 is actually meh
Makes sense, since it's still 28nm process and with downgraded bandwidth compared to 780s... It has slightly more shaders than 780Ti, but much less ROPs and TMUs, almost half the bandwidth, but more calculating power.
It's basically about 780Ti not that exciting IMO.

Stop using 3DBm as an ulitmate testing tool, games might run a hell of a lot better in game.
880 is supposed to be a beast. low bus means they have amped the cache to even it out. So it could be a face wreker even the 870 sounds pretty baller haha.I might just upgrade from my 6970 > 880 or wait for their 8XX ti version.
The 880 appears to be a direct successor to the 680, which was a dream GPU for me. Now that I have the funds and the proper PSU for it, the only thing I'm worried about is CPU bottlenecking. Anyone heard if it will have the integrated ARM CPUs? Or will the latest GeForce drivers relieve most of the CPU bottlenecking? A 780 Ti will be bottlenecked by my aging CPU in Crysis 3 for sure.
In my opinion the 28nm Maxwell cards will not have integrated ARM CPU's...
" Looking forward to see the fully enabled 20nm flagship chips "
Your CPU will probably attain a lower min, max and avg fps in many games compared to a 4 core haswell however I think you will have a good gaming experience regardless.
The New drivers with direct X enhancements do help however I don't think they will make older cpu's have a even playing field with current cup's.
I'm sure you will not have a problem playing Crysis 3 unless you're using a 4k monitor and want to play with very high settings...

actually it's never really clear when nvidia mentions about there will be Denver core in Maxwell generation. we can only wait and see. also there are rumors in the past about GTX880 Enterprise Edition. they said it will be the one that going to have ARM core but it will not going to be sold as the same category as regular GTX880. so that's mean it will not for GeForce line up. either Quadro or Tesla or something totally new. and more importantly Denver shows up in their Tegra roadmap. so Denver could be very well only for tegra related stuff. and there is also project Boulder that some people never heard about.

That figures. So will an 870 work OK or will an 860 make more sense? The small price gap between the 870 and 880 irks me. $299 looks a bit too high for an 860 and I want a 4 GB card. The 880 looks like the best deal right now.Depends on the games you play and the resolution of your monitor...
I'm not sure how powerful the 860 or 870 will be, we just need to wait and see...
I would go with the 880 because I play demanding games and have a 1440p monitor but everybody has different needs...
The prices are just rumors, I doubt they are accurate...
My guess is there will be more than a 50 dollar premium for the 880.
I'm not taking these rumors seriously.

Gigabyte let the cat out of the bag.. September... maybe it's to launch with COD/BF etc..??that's possible. nvidia can use the period where all new games to come out to launch their new GPU as a way to boost sales or promote their own GPU. we might even see new game bundle. i'd expect the new Assasin Creed Unity for october bundle and the new COD for November.

Hi, this has probably been asked numerous times, but what the hell.
I am currently building a new pc and as far as cpu/mobo and all the rest goes, I know what I want.
However for graphics cards I have no idea to buy the 700 series or to wait for the 800 series. Since I am buying piece by piece considering maximizing my budget, I am buying them somewhere October/November. Its mostly a rig thats going to be used for BF4 in ultra with multiple monitor setup. (Was considering SLI 770gtx 4Gb cards)
Atm I have a DuoCore E6750/8gb on a Striker Extreme mobo with a Asus Gts450 so it will be a huge step forward. (And yes I am a bit of a Asus fanboy for years, never had any problems with their products and therefor staying there aswell, although I cant find a gtx7704gb asus card on amazon anymore
)

So what you're saying is that even if my current GPU dies and I go out and buy a new EVGA GTX 680 off EBay or Amazon, then I could use the step-up program to jump two generations to a GTX 880?I read an semi-official article from Gamescom. The full 800 series is slated around spring 2016 with the off chance of the flagship being released earlier. I would buy the 780 6gb right now if you're in any need of a card. You could be waiting quite awhile, even if the 800 series comes out you can literally turn around and sell the 780 for like 400+ dollars and put a little extra in for the 880.

2015 my apologies lol. I don't think that the article is official word or anything, but take into account that supposedly 20nm process isn't ready for awhile and a bunch of reports of March 2015 AND the fact that Nvidia usually releases new GPUs in the spring (at least the past couple generations) I don't think it's farfetched or unreasonable at all. Believe what you want, wait if you want, no point in waiting when you can just sell your last gen card and upgrade for like 200 next spring.
If you had something like the 780 6gb or a 780 ti, I don't even think 350-400 would be out of the question to resell on ebay in march 2015. Those cards will still be able to play all new games very well.

They aren't releasing the 880 series on 20nm, its coming out on 28nm for a quicker release apparently.
I would have thought the 20nm die shrink will be for the 900 series.

I heard that too, but it would definitely be coming out very soon if that were the case. It's been way over a year now since the 700 series came out, what's the reason for the delay?

same here. but it make me think about Pascal. Pascal was supposed to debut in 2016 using TSMC 16 FinFet. so 20nm in 2015 and then jumping to 16nm FinFet in 2016? seems unlikely when both nvidia and AMD are stuck with 28nm for almost three years now. but i heard TSMC 16nm FinFet actually is still the same 20nm process but only with FinFet though they did not called it as 20nm FinFet.

apart from TSMC was very late with the new node the competitor (AMD) haven't put much of a fight either. it is almost two year before AMD come up with Hawaii. and unlike top to bottom new chip like it always do when AMD introduce new series only 290X/290 is truly new. everything else is direct rebrand of 7k series. AMD are going to launch new card very soon but it is not new flagship. instead it is a new card (Tonga) is to replace the aging Tahiti. Tonga performance was rumored to be around 280X/280 performance but with much lower power consumption.

The full 800 series is slated around spring 2016 with the off chance of the flagship being released earlier. I would buy the 780 6gb right now if you're in any need of a card. You could be waiting quite awhile, even if the 800 series comes out you can literally turn around and sell the 780 for like 400+ dollars and put a little extra in for the 880.

2016!!! Seriously!!! lol that's even worse than the kdramastars false rumors..
2015 my apologies lol. I don't think that the article is official word or anything, but take into account that supposedly 20nm process isn't ready for awhile and a bunch of reports of March 2015 AND the fact that Nvidia usually releases new GPUs in the spring (at least the past couple generations) I don't think it's farfetched or unreasonable at all. Believe what you want, wait if you want, no point in waiting when you can just sell your last gen card and upgrade for like 200 next spring.
If you had something like the 780 6gb or a 780 ti, I don't even think 350-400 would be out of the question to resell on ebay in march 2015. Those cards will still be able to play all new games very well.
They aren't releasing the 880 series on 20nm, its coming out on 28nm for a quicker release apparently.
I would have thought the 20nm die shrink will be for the 900 series.
I heard that too, but it would definitely be coming out very soon if that were the case. It's been way over a year now since the 700 series came out, what's the reason for the delay?
Yeah I think the 28nm 800 series will be out before the end of 2014.

I'm just saying we haven't heard a peep from Nvidia to be honest. You would think if they are just going to put it on 28nm it wouldn't be very difficult as they already released the 750ti using maxwell. Also, consider this every other line of cards from Nvidia has been completely new architecture. So, like the 700 series was a revamped 600 series. SO the 800 series will be an entirely new architexture based on maxwell they might as well just wait until the new year so they can get 20nm process on there. It's not like games are struggling on 700 series cards at all anyways.

700 series wasnt entirely revamped 600, the 780/780ti/Titan etc were "Big kepler" GK110.
Well you say they arent struggling, but they are if you try and play at 4k, which is getting more popular. Plus, AMD arent sitting still when it comes to GPUs, so nvidia wont wait too long.

Yes, you can actually get a 4k monitor for under $500 dollars, which is pretty insane. The problem, besides the lack of graphical power, is that windows and games have really poor support for it. Both can normally run the resolution, but the interface scaling is way off and you end up with super tiny unreadable interface elements. I would guess that the 900 series will be the first group of cards that can truly support 4k at any capacity when you're talking a single GPU configuration.

For anyone coming here to see if they should upgrade now or wait for the 800 series. I would say wait! If your card is good enough or looking to get a deal, it would be best to just wait another month or so for nVidia to release these. Once the 8s drop, the prices on the 700 series will go down a good 50-100 dollars on the major cards to clean out stock. I currently have a 7970 so since it isn't that bad, I'm just going to wait it out and see the actual specs of the 800s and see if its worth it. If not, I'll just have to get a 780Ti anddd maybe SLI them.

If you bought a top of the line right now you could literally turn around and sell it for 80% of what it's worth if you had to upgrade to a "hypothetical" 800 series fall release date.

Well if you have a strong need/want, there obviously will be no fighting it. Like I said, I have a pretty decent GPU as it is so I do not "Need" to upgrade. Do I want to? Yes, but I'm the person who likes to see the legitimate specs of a product. If they are worth the difference, then I will pick it up. If the specs aren't that big of a difference, I'll buy the previous gen for cheaper rather than buying it at what it is now. So if you need to upgrade, do it, if you really want to upgrade, do it.
