We are not worthy: Nvidia GTX Titan -- Now with added 700 series news

I wonder if it's to keep cost production down or if there's another underlying reason. Either way:

Mother of god.
 
This doesn't seem worth a new thread, but:

Week In Tech: Nvidia's 'New' Graphics Cards - Rock Paper Shotgun

- The GTX 780 will be based on the Titan (i.e. it uses a GK110 instead of the 680's GK104). It should cost around £400 and it'll have 2,496 shaders instead of 2,688, 208 texture units insteads of 244, 40 render outputs instead of 48 and all that.

- The GTX 770 will be a rebadged GTX 680 at around £300.

- The GTX 760Ti will be a rebadged GTX 670 at around £200.

- Should be launching at the end of May.


So I'm wondering if I'll be able to SLI a 680 with a 770, or maybe I'll swap my 680 for two 760Tis?


Unfortunately, it sounds like AMD will be digging in and the 8000 series will be system builder-only, and rebadges of the 7000 series to boot. So basically there's no upgrades this year, since very few people will go for the 780. Even though it has twice the transistors, most of the difference between the 680 and 780 will benefit graphics work more than gaming because it's mostly General Purpose GPU stuff.
 
Other rumors suggest AMD is going with the 9000 Series for desktops. As soon as the 7970's drop in price I'm jumping on it.
 
I never understand how Nvidia do their numbers. They're going from 690 directly to 770.

It's quite straightforward really, the first digit is the series number (I would say 'generation' but that's misleading as the tech changes every other series, I think), the second is where that card fits in the series and the third digit is almost always zero, but there have been some with a 5 instead, I don't know why that is. Then there's the Ti version of the x60 and maybe x50 (I can't remember right now) and obviously if they end with an M it's because they're mobile.

Also, I don't know if you typo'd it or not but it's the 680 that's moving down to the 770, not the 690. What Nvidia have done is they've shifted the 600 series down one position so the same Kepler architecture is now cheaper (a 770 - which is what we currently know as a 680 - will cost roughly what a 670 cost), then the gap that opens where the 680 was has been filled by the 780, which is essentially a Titan running at 80%. The 690 will most likely disappear completely and a 790 will come later which will probably be two GK110s (the Titan/780 GPU) on one card, the same as how the 690 was two 680s on one card.

See? Simple! Seriously though, sarcasm aside, all you need to know is that the 700 series is newer than the 600 series and the 780 is still going to be the best single-GPU Nvidia card you can buy. The actual tech in the card doesn't really matter all that much.

There's the GT series.
Then the GTX series.

E.G.

GTX 750, 760, 760Ti, 770, etc.

GT 730, 740, 720, etc. up to 740 (as the 750 is the GTX beginning.)

The mobile linup is almost as simple as this but with a few differences.
