    I thought the 700 series wasn't coming out till the end of year?

    Edit: Apparently Im a week behind the news. Hah!

    • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 10:57

      It came out last night, 30th of May in the US, or today here.

      And the 780 came out last week.

      800 series is rumoured to come out at the end of the year.

      • moda on 31/05/2013 - 11:09

        I haven't seen any 800 series rumours… the hell are you getting that from? Nvidias high end lineup is pretty much going to be Titan -> 780 -> 770 this year, unless they release a dual GPU card.

        Unless you're talking about AMD 8000 series, and then yea, they have to come back at Nvidia sometime this year.

        • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 12:00

          From this brilliant site called google, its just a rumour, that means most likely not accurate.

    Very important, since it is around 10% longer than average.

    • moda on 31/05/2013 - 11:08

      Not really, they're 10.5inch cards.

      General trend has been shorter cards these days…. and if you're spending silly amounts on dual gpu cards that are longer chances are you've got a case that can take it.

        Did you read the spec on gigabyte site? Its 29cm, longer than 11 inch. You just downvoting without reading the whole thing. Ur not from one of the local shops here do you? Scare of overseas competition.

    • ozhunter on 31/05/2013 - 11:10

      That arguement can be applied to all grey imports, I guess many people rather risk it until they have a bad experience themselves.

      • moda on 31/05/2013 - 11:13

        Sure, but the risks go way up for things that are known to have high failure rates or very small tolerences like graphics cards, especially high end ones.

        DOA/Failure rates for high end graphics cards are a lot higher than you think. They have long warranty periods too, so if its DOA or if it fails 2 years later you're still going to face high return costs.

        • easternculture on 31/05/2013 - 11:33
          -5

          its true, high end graphic cards tend to fail due to heat within the first year . Watercooled systems and aftermarket fans prolong the life of gfx cards.

          Buying locally means the retailer is responsible for the rma and the cost that it involves.
          Buying from overseas means you are responsible for costs involving sending it back to china for rma.

      I'd rather buy overseas especially from amazon with their awesome warranty policy rather than buying from overpriced local shops run by rude asians.

      • rehab on 31/05/2013 - 11:30

        Agree to an extent, although there are also a number of non-asians in certain high volume, low margin pc stores that are equally as rude I must say

        I like how i'm getting neg votes, cute.

        I'll admit that amazon does have a good warranty policy.

        Australian stores have always, historically, played their hand heavily on the early adopter tax, you'll see as supply catches up over the next few weeks prices will drop to around US prices.

        My local store (Umart), has always been brilliant, good prices, CS is fine, big range of products and they're like 10 mins down the road.

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 31/05/2013 - 11:59

          Umart has much poorer warranty service than Amazon (who pay the cost of returning the card to the USA)….

          Umart have some bad stories on Whirlpool…

          Agreed :\

          I've had some amazing experiences purchasing from China/HongKong/Japan/Thailand, like 2 day turnaround from order to delivery, free shipping on returns for a 9 month old product, free replacement cables 2 years after purchase, etc etc etc.

          Just as everywhere, there are bad retailers and there are excellent ones.

        • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 13:27

          Not sure why the deal has to be downvoted in the first place, its a custom oc card not a reference design, and probably the cheapest on the planet when it was posted, so its a bargain for some people. And if this follow rrp then the au rrp has to be around $420, but its not, its $500 here not $400.

          Quite easy for you to have left your comment as

          'I'd rather buy overseas especially from amazon with their awesome warranty policy rather than buying from overpriced local shops'

          I would have happily agreed with you on that.

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 31/05/2013 - 14:29

          Because the people downvoting it don't understand that its not a stock card with stock cooling. In other words, they have no clue…

          Had bad bad experiences with local shops, and not once but many times, especially with rudeness, while with amazon, the staff on the chat line were always polite and helpful. I had sent some stuff back for warranty and they happily refund the return shipping as well as the price difference as the price has dropped since it was bought. I wouldn't bother arguing with local shops staff over warranty and most of them wouldn't pay return shipping.

  • Stryke on 31/05/2013 - 11:10

    I heard that the 770 was basically just the 680 (same GPU) with a new name and a slightly higher clock/memory bandwidth than reference, so if you can find a 680 OC going cheap it's just as good a deal.

    I'm waiting for the 780 to drop to $700 which uses a Titan chip (ie. turn off one malfunctioning cuda core) still about 30% faster than a 680.

    • miarn on 31/05/2013 - 11:19

      From PC Gamer:

      So yes, it’s still running the same GK104 GPU as the GTX 680, but the clocks have been pushed a touch higher – 1,046MHz now plays 1,006MHz – and the changes brought about by GPU Boost 2.0 gives it a fair performance lead over the elder statesman of the last generation. In general terms we’re talking around 10% higher average frame rates and higher minimum frame rates too.

    • ozhunter on 31/05/2013 - 11:20

      I heard that too, locally the Gtx 680 is cheaper than the 770 but more expensive on Amazon.

    This is the RRP
    "Moving on to the launch and pricing, unlike the GTX 780 last week, NVIDIA is being far more aggressive on pricing with the GTX 770, catching even us by surprise. From a performance standpoint the GTX 770 already makes the GTX 680 redundant, and if the performance doesn’t do it then the launch price of $399 will. $399 also happens to be the same price the GTX 670 launched at, so this is a fairly straightforward spec-bump in that respect."

    • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 11:18

      If that's the RRP, then why the hell local retailers here selling for $100 more?

      http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=gtx+770&spo…

      • ozhunter on 31/05/2013 - 11:23

        Tax, higher wages, etc the usual stuff.

      • moda on 31/05/2013 - 11:25

        US RRP != Aus RRP, you know…..

      • ameel on 31/05/2013 - 11:26

        Adjust for fx rates, and it's only $85 more.

        GTX 780 which was retailing just last week at $799 dollars while launch price in the US $650.
        I reckon AU prices launch price are not too bad and should hopefully drop next week or so

      Marchi that may be the RRP for a stock card - but this is not a stock card, it has the Windforce cooling solution which is far superior to stock and it generally trades at about $50 USD more than stock cards…

      Also it's a Gigabyte, not a crappy HIS, Powercolour, Galaxy or similar brand.

      Apples vs Apples please…

    • Junk Sifter on 31/05/2013 - 16:05

      RRP is $425 for this card… http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GeForce_GTX_770_…

      Plus it's a custom PCB with 8-phase VRM vs stock 6-phase.

      • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 16:19

        Looks like the same card, that means the amazon one is a bargain as it's cheaper slightly. We're talking US$ RRP here.

  • senator on 31/05/2013 - 16:25

    The GTX 770 reference cooler is exactly the same as the GTX 780 and GTX Titan, however i'm yet to see a brand that uses the reference cooler for the GTX 770, they are all using after market cooler's since release. Is this cost cutting? as basically most GTX 780's and GTX Titan's on the market use the reference cooler, which means it should be more than sufficient to cool the GTX 770.

    edit: Inno3D seem to be the only brand that offer the reference cooler.

    • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2013 - 16:59

      It's probably one way to speed up manufacturing, just stick in old cooling to the new pcb.
