Report: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Will Cost More Than $500
It appears that Nvidia's upcoming GTX 780 will cost a lot more than the $499 that we came across earlier.
Not long ago, we learned that Nvidia was preparing to launch its GeForce GTX 700 Series desktop dedicated graphics cards later this month. We understood back then that the price for the GTX 780 would be about $500. Sadly, a new report indicates that this is not true; not only will it be more expensive, it will be a lot more expensive.
According to SweClockers the GTX 780, since it is still likely to be based on the GK110 silicon, we should not be surprised if the card is priced (almost) at the same level as the GTX Titan. What Nvidia ends up calling the graphics card, or what Nvidia might end up doing with the original GTX Titan remains a mystery.
The good news is that the report does indicate that Nvidia will be selling the GTX 780's GK110 silicon by itself, allowing graphics cards manufacturers to tailor their own cards. This makes it possible for manufacturers to make custom cards more affordable and gives them a lot more flexibility with the PCB design.

well AMD, time for your to shine! even priced at $500, your 8970 will be a "budget card" lol

Intel have total performance domination in all performance sectors yet it at least doesnt screw us over on mid range to high end price sector. Only the premium top X series CPU is overpriced. The rest are priced pretty Okish not far off from AMD.
May be it is time to boycott Nvidia lol
I'm excited to see what Nvidia is going to be offering in the future. Though the Titan is priced a little higher than what I would have liked to see, it is an amazing card. I'm glad there are finally GPU solution out that can tackle large multiple monitor setups.
Unless you are running these set ups then a mid range card for anything between £150-£250 from either nVidia or AMD will do the job with ease.
So please, take a minute and think again, what exactly are you complaining about?
Because the GTX780 and GTX770 are based (according to these reports) on completely different chip architectures.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown.
