14 DAY TRIAL // It was just the other day that we posted photos of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 and 770 graphics cards, and now we can share the actual roadmap of the enthusiast GeForce line.
Most of the cards in the collection have already made their appearance. The GTX 670, 660 Ti and 680 are old news by now.
Verily, the GTX Titan is the only newcomer, and even that one has already gone past its initial hype phase.
That leaves the GeForce GTX 770 and GTX 780, which haven't yet arrived.
Until recently, they were nothing but rumors. Not everyone was sure they were actually going to be released, at least not based on existing GPUs.
Nevertheless, this will happen according to the roadmap shared by VideoCardz: they will be powered by the Kepler architecture based on 28nm technology.
Like the Titan, however, they will use revamped Kepler. Where titan relies on a GK110-400 processor, the GeForce GTX 780 uses, or will use, a totally new GK110-300. Meanwhile, the GeForce GTX 770 boasts a GK104-425.
GTX 780 will end up with 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, probably working at 6 GHz frequency.
GTX 770 will make do with 2 GB, but that should still let it breeze through pretty much every game out there, DirectX 11-enabled or otherwise.
We'll have to wait until May 23 for confirmation and extra details on the GTX 780, and the end of May for GTX 770.
That leaves us with the third and final enthusiast graphics card, powered by a GK104-225 silicon on which no data exists. The slide doesn't have a name for the adapter, though we suppose GTX 760 Ti is a likely enough moniker. Like on GTX 770, 2 GB of RAM are available, or will be. The ETA (estimated time of arrival) is the middle of June.
