NVIDIA announces the GeFORCE GTX 780
NVIDIA today introduced the NVIDIA GeForce®GTX™ 780 GPU, which delivers jaw dropping performance and silky smooth visuals for the next generation of PC gaming titles – including Call of Duty®: Ghosts, Watch Dogs and Battlefield 4.
In addition, NVIDIA has released to production the NVIDIA GeForce Experience™ software, which delivers to GeForce gamers the industry’s best gaming drivers, features and optimal playable settings with the convenience of single click operation. Designed for gaming enthusiasts, the GeForce GTX 780 boasts a massively powerful Kepler GPU with 2,304 cores and 3GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory – each 50 percent more than its Predecessor. The GTX 780 supports NVIDIA’s latest array of gaming technologies, including PhysX® and TXAA in addition, the newest GeForce drivers reduce frame time variations to provide smoother frame delivery and a richer overall experience. Moreover, for those gamers who demand the very best, NVIDIA SLI® technology – the industry’s pre-eminent multi-GPU solution – scales to deliver even higher levels of performance. “The GeForce GTX 780 delivers the fastest frame-rate and smoothest animation at a value never before seen in PC gaming,” said Scott Herkelman, general manager of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA.
“This level of performance allows gamers to become fully immersed into a game the way the developers originally intended.” To satisfy gamer demands for greater customisation and overclocking options, the GTX 780 includes NVIDIA GPU Boost™ 2.0 technology, which automatically increases the GPU’s clock speeds for enhanced performance, while adding temperature target and fan controls, as well as extra over-voltage headroom and optimisations for advanced water-cooling solutions. A high quality cast exterior aluminium frame and high-efficiency vapour chamber cooling – the most sophisticated thermal solution NVIDIA has created – contribute to the exotic design of the card. With GTX 780, form meets function with uncompromising acoustic performance as well for near silent gaming operation.
“The GTX 780 thermal solution is the most sophisticated we’ve ever created,” said Andrew Bell, Vice president of engineering at NVIDIA. “The human ear detects not just sound intensity, but also sudden variations in noise levels. For this reason, we created brand new adaptive temperature controllers to reduce unnecessary fan speed variations and deliver beautifully silent operation. This makes the GTX 780 an awesome choice for powering enthusiast-class PCs including desktop gaming towers as well as the new breed of sexy, small form-factor PCs.”
